One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:
It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.
Thou wouldst not downloadeth a car
My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.
Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.
Shixiong!Shen Yuan thinking to himself after bonding with Luo Binghe: it's a shame I don't have any female relatives in this life who could marry him. Maybe I'll have a daughter one day, and she can marry Binghe, and then our bloodlines will be intertwined? Oh but any desirable woman who could be my wife would also want to marry Binghe, so I guess I'll have to stay single forever. I guess I could adopt a daughter? I don't really know if a good opportunity for that will come up... I know! I'll use that one Magical Plot Device Item to make a female clone of myself, raise her as my daughter, and then one day when she's all grown up she can marry Binghe and then Binghe and I will be in-laws and officially family! Although now that I'm thinking about it, I'm a modern man and I guess it is kind of problematic to raise a kid entirely so she can marry a particular man one day. I mean it's Binghe so it's not as weird or creepy as it would be otherwise, because naturally everyone wants to be Binghe's wife, I wouldn't even need to suggest it to her it would just inevitably happen. Still, though. Probably not the best thing to plan out... I guess we'll just have to settle for being sworn brothers? Kind of a letdown.
Shixiong!Shen Yuan out loud: Binghe, it's a bit sad that we'll never have a child that combines our bloodlines together, isn't it?
Binghe about to try unholy things with his blood.
Can his blood mites, when mixed with another's blood, be used to manipulate that blood?
If so, can that blood be mixed enough as to act as his bloodmites?
Can his blood create lifeforms?
if it can create lifeforms, can he use it to create something that acts independently from him?
If both work, see if mixing his and shixiong's blood allows him to create a blood child.
if both don't work, steal shixiong's blood and find a plant that does.
If only mixing blood works, use his blood to indefinitely keep some of shixiong's blood inside of him (side goal).
Binghe, outloud: "Immortals live a long time, Shixiong. As long as you're with me, there's no telling what may happen."
Shen Yuan, internally: (What a good friend, still thinking of me for the distant future! I'm sure he'll be busy with conquering, making an empire, and the harem, but he might still spare a thought or two for me.)
Why do kiwis have such massive fucking eggs “it’s because they are related to ostriches and-“ yeah ok but like why didn’t they evolve smaller eggs if I was in charge I would do that shit pronto. Thoughts?
their big eggs are actually that size for a similar reason to human babies having massive heads!! being bigger at birth can be important.
kiwi are trying SO HARD to become mammals. fur-like feathers, whisker-like feathers, little beady eyes, nocturnal, great sense of smell.... that's basically a mammal!! they're well suited for life on the forest floor.
their big eggs work alongside these adaptations to give them a leg up in the bird world. their young hatch already feathered! they're precocial, which means they're born with the ability to open their eyes and move around. like foals.
big egg = more powerful offspring from the get-go. babies don't need to spend precious time vulnerable while they develop on the ground when they've already done all that in the egg!
(unfortunately, with the introduction of mammals to aotearoa, these adaptations are a little less useful...)
Important addition: baby kiwi come out of the egg looking like they've come out of a shower with a hangover
They look like one of the downsides of emerging from an egg fully formed is how aware you are off just having come out on egg. First minute alive, already dealing with some fucking experience.
dysphoria got me asking dumbass questions like what is the most masculine icecream flavor
Writing prompt? No. Writing much delayed.
we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

Ned's new boyfriend is weirdly intense and a bit of a stalker sometimes, but that's fine.
i love how most mattfoggy fights basically boil down to foggy saying “hey i care about you and want you to be safe and happy” and matt going “foggy the city NEEDS me to kill myself”
tfw your life partner who never wanted children shows up with one.

why does my mother suddenly fail kindergarten whenever she tries to do anything on the computer
I know she doesn't know what "the maximise button" is so I told her "click the square at the top right" and she clicked...the printer icon...in the middle of the toolbar. and I'm just like okay. this isn't a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I'm turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master's degree
