“What’s it like, huh?” Mista blurted out and Giorno brought the glass from his lips. His forehead wrinkled and Mista gave off a hollow chuckle. “Do you like it?” He asked with a crude perkiness to his voice and Giorno’s throat constricted. “Does it feel good to get all that attention?” His voice settled into detached complacency. “I suppose it does, huh?” Giorno’s heart twisted in his chest, his cheeks tingling. “Well,” Mista sighed, “it must be kind of gross when the old men do it, I guess.” He turned around and with prickles of sweat on his scalp Giorno averted his eyes from his dull and distant expression.

Giorno held a sigh in his chest. “I don’t have any strong feelings about it,” he asserted himself quietly. “And you know that, so don’t tease me.”

Is that character "underwritten" or are they just a side character

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

[prokopetz]

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

[buggyhuman]

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

I rewatched Neon Genesis Evangelion at the start of this year and I still think about it often. I wish I didn't live in a world where it's controversial for me to say that I think it's the biggest piece of dogshit misogynistic fake-deep garbage I have ever seen in my entire life and one day I will achieve my dream of hitting Hideaki Anno with a car

Just saw a post talking about "having a superiority complex over not watching Disney live action movies" and I was like damn, the bar for superiority is pretty low these days. Just the other day I saw an open single-serve slice of American cheese lying on the sidewalk and I didn't roll it up and shove it down my gullet without chewing like a hungry duck, I guess that makes me a genius who stands above the vulgar masses like a god

Just the other day I pissed in the toilet without even being tempted by the sink. The idea of pissing in the sink didn't even occur to me. Fellas, I'm available

“Subverting” Catholic art? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You log onto the internet and you post about how “Wound of Christ” from Psalter and Prayer Book of Bonne de Luxembourg, attributed to Jean le Noir, c.1349, for instance, looks like a vulva because you're trying to tell the world that you enjoy Catholic art and imagery in an alternative, queer, risqué way that challenges Christian beliefs. But what you don't know is that that stigma isn’t just a vulva. It's not just a mandorla. It's not just yonic. It's actually intentionally erotic. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that around 1297, Saint Angela of Foligno experienced a vision of Christ himself, who called her to put her mouth to the wound in his side and lick the freshly flowing blood. And then I think it was Saint Catherine of Siena who drank blood and a clear liquid from the wound before receiving a ring made from Christ’s foreskin? And then graphically erotic encounters with the side wound of Christ quickly showed up in the writings of eight different mystics. And then the yonic interpretation of the stigmata filtered down through the illuminated manuscripts and then trickled on down into some pseudo-intellectual corner of the internet…where you, no doubt, fished it out of some Pinterest board. However, that interpretation represents hundreds of years and countless visions of religious ecstasy. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've come up with an idea that exempts you from Christian theology when, in fact…you're posting an image that was sexualized for you by the very Medieval saints you think you’re so different than…from “subverted” Catholic art.

That last post made me remember when I watched Conclave and was like huh what a poignant movie about how misogyny hides in plain sight and goes unchecked even when other forms of oppression don't! And then everyone I spoke to and everyone saw online discussing it was like "it's not a hard movie to understand, I can't see why others call it confusing. It's very clearly about how no human can embody the ideal upheld by religion and those who come the closest to do so might not be who we expect" like no. The movie is about misogyny in the Catholic Church. The final scene of the film has the main character (who himself said he would not lift the woman issue of the church if he ran for pope whilst still posturing himself as a progressive) looking into the closed courtyard as two young nuns hush their whispering voices even as they're alone, all while wrecked by his conflicting feelings because the pope candidate he voted for has a uterus aka the one organ that has always been at the forefront of anti-feminist arguments historically, especially when it came to banning women from positions of power. This is also the movie that repeatedly centers the shot of a caged bird inside the head nun's office. It's not subtle. But I guess it's on point that no one noticed the sexism hidden in plain sight in the sexism is hidden in plain sight movie

Got invited to see the Coronation of Poppea (I didn't even know they were doing it in my city) and I got so excited I pumped my fist in the air and knocked off one of the glass shades on my ceiling light and it fell to the floor..... directly onto a decorative cushion I had thrown off the bed the night before so it was fine
