Rereading Gideon the Ninth and it still blows my fucking mind the way one of the most important events in the story in hindsight is (MILD SPOILERS)
". . . she'd wrestled Harrow down in the dirt, and Harrow had scratched until she'd had half of Gideon's face beneath her fingernails."
and it was such a vivid but unimportant detail that I remembered it and it popped into my head when it became relevant again and SYKE UNIMPORTANT YOU THOUGHT
Two seemingly contradictory beliefs that we actually must strive to hold simultaneously:
You don't owe anyone anything
Meaning: you do not have to make yourself suffer for the convenience of others
We owe each other everything
Meaning: we could not survive without each other and everything we do to help another is crucial to ensuring our own continued survival
You don't need to be a doormat, but also don't get comfortable slamming the door when you have the resources to extend a hand instead.
hi trans people i hope you get to live. i hope you get to laugh so fucking loud and revel in how the wind blows through your hair and i hope you get to dress the way you like and i hope you get complimented on it. i hope you get to kiss someone or hug someone or hold hands with someone or be told how wonderful you are. i hope you get to dance to weird music and i hope you go swimming with no concerns other than how much sunscreen to put on and i hope you sing bad karaoke with your friends. i hope a kid spots you from across the road and realizes they don't have to live one way forever. i hope we all live
trans people i hope you get to eat some really good food and gasp at the animals and insects you see every day i hope you pick up a new hobby and it turns out to be pretty fun i hope you try on that coat and it makes you feel confident. i hope you get to tell people your name and i hope they tell you how cool it is i hope you get to rest i hope you watch a movie and fall over laughing. i hope you rejoice in living because you deserve to be alive and you deserve to have a joyous life
this is cool as hell. trans people lets create a galaxy
it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy that it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect but
yeah. and you can even include "thing that reduces the barrier to doing the task" as a catalyst/enzyme
anyway. unfortunately this does not actually clarify anything for the average person. but #ToMe it works
Someone said “The slow burn of becoming yourself” and I think that might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. It’s such a good reminder of how much it takes, how much character development, how much change, and beauty and courage it takes to reach your soul and I hope no one ever gives up on becoming themselves because it’s a never ending journey that only gets better.
reminds me of a piece of art I love
Michael A Davenport, 3,090 Degrees Fahrenheit (Oil on canvas, 2025)
“3,090 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which sand becomes glass, in a process known as the Pilkington Process. This is not the temperature of burning; this is the temperature of becoming something.”

Today we were talking about how words can mean different things to different communities, and that people outside the community wouldn't understand. Like how a non-poker player wouldn't understand poker jargon the way other poker players would. Anyway, then my professor said he was gonna show us his "favourite example" and wrote a single word on the board that gave me instant psychic damage: beta.
Apparently sport climbers use this word with a meaning of "technique, method." But for a horrifying, horrifying second there was the possibility in my mind that we were gonna talk about ABO in my fucking linguistics class
Professor Betas Goerge, who writes 50k omegaverse fics when no one shows up to office hours, boldy wrote "beta" on the board while closely observing which of his students went dead. still.
the climbing thing is true! but it's a little simplified and I'm a nerd about this shit.
the "beta" for a climbing route is all the details of how you move through it - whether you place a foot high or low for a certain move, the order in which you move your hands, the angles and body positions you use. many routes have multiple possibilities for how they might be climbed, leading to different "betas" for the same climb. sometimes certain beta might work or not work depending on your proportions or flexibility, so you'll hear climbers refer to "tall beta" when someone has enough height to simply reach past a difficult move.
there's also a couple of terms that build on this foundation! one major climbing faux pas is "beta spraying," when you tell someone how to climb a route even though they didn't ask and deprive them of the joy of figuring it out for themselves (not every instance of sharing beta is beta spraying, though; some people appreciate the help, but you should always ask first). and particularly for indoor climbing, there is "beta breaking," which means you figured out a way around the intended beta of the person who designed the climb (aka the routesetter!). usually this means you figured out some clever maneuver that lets you skip a particularly tricky move. beta breaking can also apply to outdoor climbing, but it's a bit of a different flavor; you're figuring out a new approach to a climb people have been trying for years and years, rather than defying the intentions of a routesetter. man vs nature instead of man vs man, to use a comparison from middle school English class.
anyway. no one asked for a climbing vocabulary lesson but if you didn't want one you shouldn't have let me see this post. this hobby has fully taken over my life pls send help (they'll have to climb like 50 feet to get to me tho)
underneath it all I think that gideon and harrow are fairly vanilla in that what they want is to be lesbians together. However they don't know how to do that (never done it before) so they make up evil and elaborate games to trick each other into like, hugging. to them that feels way more risque and dangerous than any of the insane shit they have done to each other instead. Cam and pal on the other hand want to do something to each other unclassifiable by modern science and ethics

From the artist’s Inprnt:

wait actually you would be a great person for them to have on crowd control (dropout show, spinoff of the game changer episode of the same name, in case "i've never seen a tv show in my life" applies here. or for any readers who are unfamiliar). your shirt could just say sex witch and I think that would set the contestants up to make some comedically inaccurate assumptions
I would fucking cruuuuuuuush on Crowd Control!!!! I have SO MUCH MATERIAL
i mean, i'd chip in for that (tags from @hound-of-heaven)
