âfight on. i am proud of you.â
when I was younger I didnât understand why âmay you live in interesting timesâ was considered a curse in ancient greece.
I get it now.
doesnât get much more interesting than this
Continental Army artillery in action at the battle of Germantown, October 4 1777. The cannons failed to force out the British troops defending Cliveden manse. Its castle-like stone walls withstood a barrage by Colonel Thomas Proctorâs artillery. The two-hour defense of Cliveden helped turn the tide of the battle.
truly what is r the main differences like ACTUAL differences not things in common with adhd and autism
Neurodivergent Insights has a good been diagram showing the differences between the two. But thereâs not much, gives the two disorders overlap a LOT
Iâll leave the article below if you want to read it:
ADHD vs Autism
Hope this helps.
hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include
âą getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing
âą public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)
âą holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)
âą most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it
âą the sharks donât seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers
âą the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own
like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown âhey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!â we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves
hereâs the article please read it
I know it's because they're invasive but it's hilarious how many different ways humans have come up with to send this one fish in particular to the plinko.
The Choctaw-Irish Brotherhood(via)
I love stuff like this. Didnât a tribe in Africa send America some cows after 9/11? Like this is holy and the most valuable thing we have. We hear your suffering and want to do anything in our power to help
It was not a potato famine. The famine didnât happen because of the potato yeald failing. Ireland was actually producing more than enough food. However it was almost all land owned by Brittish landowners, who took all of the food out of the country to sell in UK. Potato was what the Irish farmers ate, because it was cheep and could be produced in worst parts of the land, where more profitable food couldnât be grown. When there were no longer potatos, the decision for the farmers was to either starve and sent the food as rent to the landlords or loose their homes and then starve.
The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were âbreeding too muchâ and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.
This is why itâs important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.
Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.
This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.
In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.
Then in 2020:

Rhianna Pratchett confirming her father wouldn't be a """gender critical""" activist (whatever the hell those GCs stand for) if he were still alive
The GCs are Terfs. A specific type of transphobe. Quite a few British celebrity got recruited to their ranks and they have the money and clout to do a lot of damage unfortunately.
Terry passed away before Rowling started her downward spiral and played a significant role in creating the current toxic atmosphere around Trans rights in England . It is good to see that his daughter ,who is also a writer, stands up for human rights.
Thatâs despicable trying to ârecruitâ someone whoâs DEAD. Not to mention thereâs NOTHING in Pratchettâs booksâincluding the ones of essays, articles, and speechesâto suggest he join in if he was alive.
And obviously his own kid would know his private opinions so hopefully the assholes will see her tweet and back the fuck off.
(GC stands for âgender criticalâ, when you see that it usually means that youâre talking to/about terfs who are trying to rebrand their image).
For those of you who are wondering who else the original tweet is referring to, they are talking about Margaret Atwood, a very prominent feminist author (probably best known for The Handmaidâs Tale). Because she is a feminist the terfs assumed that sheâd naturally side with them, and it came as a massive shock (for some reason) when she very publicly opposed and humiliated all of terfdom.
But yeah I donât know how terfs can possibly get through Discworld books without any kind of self-awareness but apparently they do. Iâve also seen them talking about how the Wives in the Handmaidâs Tale are all trans women (solely based on the fact that they are infertile). If you know anything about the plot or even the basic premise youâll know how ludicrous that suggestion is.
Terf rhetoric basically revolves around throwing shit at the wall and then crawling around in anything that sticks, but the underlying transphobia is always present.
Rhianna Pratchett is the best.
âTerry Pratchettâ is now a trending topic on twitter and everyone is just slamming the people who claim he would be transphobic. Itâs been really nice to see
Also thereâs this
And this. Bless @neil-gaiman
Iâd already seen most of this on Twitter, but the Tom Hatfield tweet was new to me and got some laughs.
Also, this is the one that made me get all teary:
Pour one out for a real one.
Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as âproofâ, asserting that Money didnât have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.
A quote I really like from him: âNature loves diversity, society hates itâ
nothing makes me feel more well adjusted than hearing about the problems that straight people in the periphery of my life are always having
my aunt's new guy broke into my ex uncle's garage and filled his bowling balls with caulk
me and the five other people that didnât see the northern lights are throwing a party and youâre not invited btw
those posts criticizing common writing patterns in fanfiction are so fucking harmful and they ruined me
so like yknow what??? People tell you to avoid âsmirkâ and âchuckleâ as descriptors because no one does those things (???) but then when I need to use those words I have a ten minute crisis about how Iâm a shitty writer. So heres my unwarranted writing advice: If you want your characters to smirk and chuckle fucking let them and donât let anyone tell you that no one smirks or chuckles because I do both on a daily basis whenever I tell a shitty pun, byeÂ
Edgy fanfiction critics can eat my entire ass.
Like yâall have never had a chuckle? For shame
â nobody does thatâ, Well sure, maybe nobody does that when YOUâRE in the room, buddyâŠ
I smirk and I chuckle and I toe off my shoes and I card my fingers through my own hair (donât have anyone else to do it to, but if I had, I would) and when Iâm angry I growl (or wish I could, at least) and I pop the P when I say Yep. And even if I DIDNâT do all those things, the characters I write do, because fuck the language police, itâs my fic.
I honestly hated those BS things when they started coming out of not just fanfic but pro writing advice back in the 90s and 00s.
Thatâs how long Iâve been holding a grudge against Blanket General Absolutist Writing Advice, by the way. Thirty years now. People would post it on writing lists, or on message boards and I would be the only one going âokay except how the fuck else do you describe thatâ. Certain Fucking Peopleâs much-vaunted âlistsâ of how a whole bunch of shit was stupid. Endless complaints about âemerald eyesâ with âlololol so sharp edged and glass-looking?â and oh my god how about you fuck off.
And yes, before you go there: I do know the stuff they were reacting to, and the overwhelming trends, and the so forth and so on, and this was still the stupid, wrong way to approach the issue.
Half the time the âpurpleâ prose they were complaining about was literally a deliberate genre feature. You donât have to LIKE it, but at some point complaining about metaphorical or evocative or otherwise lush language is like complaining about Cats in the Cat Cafe: just stop going to the fucking Cat Cafe, itâs a cafe for cats, what the fuck did you expect to find here, why did you think youâd be able to avoid cats. If you do not like chocolate maybe donât go to the chocolate festival!
There are almost always examples of the metaphor or whatever that were given a pass and people would bend over BACKWARDS to find a reason but the reason, when it came down to it, is âit was to my taste here/I thought it worked here, I didnât think it worked over here.â There might be other reasons that it worked or didnât. (âThis characterâs narrative voice has been absolutely pragmatic and blunt prose until now and suddenly his love interest has cerulean orbs, what the fuckâ.) It might just be a word you personally hate, or a construction you dislike. Thatâs fine! But an Absolute Truth does not arise from a question of taste.
Again: this is a taste issue. I used to get into huge fights about it being a taste issue at the time, and I will still fight you about it now. Certain tastes can and will become dominant in a cultural zeitgeist (ie more people will have a taste for X or Y or Z kind of prose or even X or Y or Z kind of food in a particular cultural context) and so you will have a better chance of appealing to more people if you follow the current tastes but itâs all fluid, itâs all flexible, and itâs all subjective.
Potentially useful advice on the subject is going to a) come from someone whose taste you care about (ie this is the kind of person youâre writing for), and b) is going to be specific - âI think this piece of yours is using this kind of thing too often and itâs getting distractingâ or âI feel like using âchuckleâ here gives the wrong vibe/imageryâ or whatever. And note I said POTENTIALLY. And thatâs for EDITING.
For writing use whatever word is gonna get you to the next word, you can fix it later.
YOU GET THE FUCK BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN THAT RIGHT NOW
well damn
this had me cackling and explaining "weird tumblr shit" to my husband.
