who wants a house tour? (count the rice bonus BTS 🍚)

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

[disclaimeriamaloser]

I’m pretty sure “lock in” is AAVE and has therefore probably been around for way longer than since 2020 and that’s just when it started becoming popular for white people to use it/when it started being considered “gen z TikTok slang”

Edit: yeah definitely AAVE. If you want to learn more about AAVE, this post is a good place to start. Educate yourself on AAVE and make sure that you’re appreciating culture and not appropriating culture.

On this day, 18 July 1969, Black Panthers held a conference in Oakland alongside the predominantly white anti-racist Young Patriots Organisation and Puerto Rican street gang-turned-radical group the Young Lords. A KPIX news report described the event as an “unconventional convention” which was nevertheless “well-organised and orderly”, and explained that the Panthers’ motivation in holding it was to emphasise “class struggle” and “revolutionary unity”. The Young Patriots were a group of poor, mostly Appalachian migrants in Chicago. Although they opposed racism, they originally wore Confederate flags, which they believed were a symbol of rebellion. Leading Panther Fred Hampton played a key role in building links with them and other white working-class youth, until he was assassinated by police. In his speech, William "Preacherman" Fesperman of the Young Patriots, argued for armed self-defence against police brutality: "A gun on the side of a pig means two things: it means racism and it means capitalism and the gun on the side of a revolutionary, on the side of the people, means solidarity and socialism." Later, the Young Patriots abandoned the Confederate flag symbol as an irredeemable symbol of white supremacy. As former-Patriot Hy Thurman explained to Redneck Revolt: “As we grew politically and respected the Black Panthers and the Young Lords we determined that there was no place in the movement or the world for the Confederate flag. It symbolises a period of time when our Black brothers and sisters were mere property to be sold or destroyed at the white man's convenience. And that the Confederate flag was created to serve as a symbol of plantation owners to perpetuate slavocracy.” Learn more about the Panthers in these books by former members: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/all/black-panthers

I’ve seen this clip countless time (and still fucking funny 😂🤣) but I was today years old when I learned Bob’s government name, which honestly makes this joke even funnier

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I'm sorry Chris chose the name Bob and is complaining about Steve?

Just wanted to say I appreciate your raccoon videos! I used your video about wearing vacation wear to blend in with the tourists in my scicomm class to illustrate expectancy violations and adapting to your audience/context.

That is so wonderful to hear! I work really hard to make raccoon science (among other topics) accessible to and understandable by the general public, and I don’t think most people realize that clothing is a form of communication in itself.

Watched og fantasy high over a friend's shoulder who was watching it for the first time and saw the moment where Brennan drops Aguefort's mini and Lou is like "yooo is he black??" and Brennan goes "yes :)" and that's a fun nice moment but then it was so weird in hindsight. It's "oh Lou didn't know that because it was only mentioned once (I think) that Aguefort has dark skin and it's easy to miss that and you're basically trained your whole life to assume people in media (especially fantasy media) are not black" and "oh he was really happy about that. I was happy about that too." Then I remembered Lou was surprised about Caramelinda too, "why are you hiding these black women from me?" or something.

In newer seasons Brennan's initial descriptions of NPCs will often straight up be "yeah you see this older Black man who [...]", "you see this guy, he has [physical trait], he's Asian..." and oh! Oh that means a lot. Like, on one hand it just helps you picture the character better to get a more specific description but on the other hand it does genuinely feel good to be directly mentioned without it being a big deal. Sometimes you forget how good representation feels until it's casually in there, I guess.

Reminded me of an adventuring party(?) where Brennan mentioned that he regrets not explicitly saying Anabelle Cheddar was a lesbian and learning from Ally that it's often valuable to outright say when a character is queer (talking about Liam calling himself asexual). Some people might criticise it as "forced", I guess? But the reality is that unless you outright say it or outright have two women make out on camera, the default assumption will always be that they're not queer, therefore you have to say it if you want it to be canon and people to know and you don't want to make the two women make out right now, or an equivalent of that just isn't an option. For example there isn't really a definite way of showing a character is ace without leaving stuff up for interpretation without saying it.

(And yes this goes for a character like Riz too. I think his asexuality is pretty canon and Brennan straight up said the word, but in my humble opinion him being aro is still very much an interpretation thing? I do make him aroace but if someone views it differently I wouldn't say they're wrong?? You can definitely read that as someone who wants romance being turned off by the sexual aspect and not understanding why that's such a big deal and then fearing that they'll never have a fulfilling relationship because they're "missing something" and "couldn't do it right", and ultimately I don't know what Murph was going for. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, I think here it's cool that different queer folk can find their different experiences in this one guy, but I'm talking about the principle. Queer rep and the curse of ambiguity.)

-> And similarly there's not a lot of ways to make a ttrpg npc a poc and communicate this to everyone other than just saying so when describing them. And it seems like this is something Brennan learned and does now and that's just really nice to see. Idk if this is a weird rant haha. Representation is cool👍

They've got all kinds of patterns and such on their site for different creative projects, it does appear to be limited to cutting cardboard so if you want to do wood you will need something beefier.
