Personal Blog

M36. Chaotic main blog, pro-life, Baptist. A lot of my fandom stuff ends up or starts on my fandom sideblog. Pro-Jedi, Disney canon didn’t happen we live in the Expanded Universe. I’m always happy to answer questions.

This is a fun remix for the song

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

[woodsfae]

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

Wednesday the 15th. What an excellent day. Middle of the week, middle of the month. Truly, we are in the middle of things.

this is saved on my desktop with the title ‘Every D&D Campaign Ever’

[justkeeptrekkin]

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. The lack of music is amazing

[theoutcastrogue]

Oh, aye, it is truly a disgrace that, when asked what genre our D&D game is, we say pretentious shit like “fantasy” or “epic fantasy” or “sword & sorcery”, instead of honestly replying, “slapstick”.

so funny when people on twitter talk about tumblr and 1) assume we're dead, 2) out themselves as people who need to see porn on their social media feed. turns out the porn ban was literally the best possible way to filter out the braindead gooners and leave only the Real Poasters behind, in a sort of purifying reverse-rapture. also there's still porn on tumblr you just have to open up your dash in public

[luna-drinker]

The porn addicts turned out to be the unhinged people making tumblr suck, someone should look into that for science.

[frangipani-wanderlust]

Bluesky...failed? I thought it eas carrying on as idiotically as ever.

[secretwriter-studentjaune]

It's like a weird mirror to us. B-sky claims they, themselves, are dead when they aren't; everyone else claims we are dead, when we're not.

We're actual eccentric recluses; they're across the street in a town house (asylum) next to town hall, loudly yelling that they're recluses.

Or something, y'all get what I mean I hope...

I am not preparing for a Netflix documentary.

...But the music used in that meme is actually kind of a cool piece.

Classic SF once again betrayed by a clear, static-free signal and a flat digital screen

This is how I remember classic Who and Star Trek, folks, with signal ghosts and scanning lines (but usually with more static/snow)

[sepdet]

Sharing this on my main because it appears from the notes that it's useful for some modern viewers.

You KNOW classic SF used the limited displays of CRT television and the static of transmitted signals the way theaters use stage makeup and lighting to make inexpensive props look great fine— take advantage of the medium! But it's hard to imagine how it looked if you've only seen Blu-ray HD restorations.

I swear to you, despite classic Who using bubble wrap for years as one of its go-to materials that reflected light in interesting ways, we never realized that's what it was.

[warpsbyherself]

I remember when HD tv was first available back in the 2000s, my university had a random HD channel. I watched SNL on it and it was crazy to be able to see how flimsy the sets were and how caked on and flat the makeup was. Then you’d flip back to the normal channel and everything would look fine again.

[chekhovs-raygun]

they need to release like vintage-mode low-def de-stored versions of classic sci fi so you can see how the costumes and sets were supposed to look like.
