#cecilsweep is like if you had this friend, right? and you were very good friends! you talked every day, you knew everything about his life, but then it kinda sizzled out, and you'd tell yourself he's still part of your life, but when one of you reached out you were in such different places in life you could barely have a conversation anymore. it'd be kinda sad, but you have new friends now, and you remember your friendship fondly.

then one day you turn on the tv and out of the blue, he's being elected president

How to make a podcast.

Step one: give the main character ADHD.

Step two: uhhh idk figure out the rest of the plot and stuff.

[ci-ah]

saw people joking that now that Lubelle's team of scientists is in town we learn that Carlos was mediocre/bad at science this whole time AND I WILL NOT HAVE THIS

First of all, Carlos IS a brilliant scientist. He made a computer out of nothing in dow, set up a lab from scratch, created the substance which allows to phase through solid objects, and who knows what else has he achieved

So I don't think the conflict will be about who's a better scientist between Carlos and Lubelle, but about the difference in their scientific approach

Carlos is open minded, perfectly capable of accepting that there are things outside of his knowledge and out of reach of his methods. He's not dismissive even of the most strange and unlikely events that Night Vale provides in numbers. He adapts and proceeds in accordance with the phenomena, incorporates it in his research even (no way that green jello stuff from the Heist was of usual science).

And judging by his words about Lubelle, I'm as concerned about her arrival as he is. Single minded, goal oriented, and dismissive of ethical code is NOT a person you want around any scientific discovery. Yes, this sounds like she'll get results, but it's concerning to what extent she might go to get them. It's so important to note that Carlos says he fears her for it. So far she totally feels like a person who would forcibly study and dissect everything she can with the methods she got on hand to categorize them into a system consistent with her scientific worldview. (And i fear for things she won't be able to measure or comprehend, best case scenario they get dismissed, worst case she blowtorches everything that's messing with her reports).

I do understand that it's kinda early to judge, but i sure hope the conflict will go somewhere into science ethics direction, and not just about who's smarter

Hey, so they’re making a Netflix Harry Potter.

With that in mind, we’re all gonna remember that JKR is a terf who has literally been cited by legislators engaged in legislation that actively harms trans people, and we’re not gonna give her any more money.

That means not streaming the new show on Netflix, because regardless of how much influence she has on the production, she gets paid for it.

We’re gonna make the show flop. We’re gonna show Warner Brothers that we don’t forget (of course, how would we forget, it isn’t as if she’s stopped), and that their business association with terfs is no longer profitable.

It is NOT like Lovecraft, because Lovecraft is very dead and his works are in the public domain. By consuming Lovecraft media, you are not giving any money to old Howard.

reblogging this again to say some googling led to the tentative conclusion that the new remake will be on HBO max, which is owned by WarnerMedia. Netflix hasn’t hosted anything Harry Potter since early 2020, presumably because Warner is trying to direct the hp audience to their own streaming service.

Remember she also takes any support of her work as agreeing with her bigotry

> if: Science Team then: Yes

And to those who say, but second hand books and read them, what about the one who buys a second hand book, reads it, thinks wow how awesome

[lesbianchai]

She actively funds anti-trans causes and is basically the spokesperson for UK terfism and quite honestly her influence probably was related to the recent UK anti-trans laws. Part of the reason she’s so powerful is because she has money. Cut off her money supply. Please boycott her.

I’ve asked parents about this and they always say they are teaching the child responsibility and “respect for other people’s things.” If I point out that the child accidentally broke their own toy they always say “I bought them that toy” or “my sister gave that to them.”

The problem is that parents view all possessions as not really belonging to the child. A part of them always seems to think that the adult who provided the money is the real owner

If a parent breaks a dish they see it as breaking something that already belonged to them, but if a child breaks it they see it as the child breaking something that belonged to the parents

People raising children need to realize that household possessions belong to the entire household. If everyone has to use that plate then it belongs to everyone and anyone can have a forgivable accident with it. It’s okay to deem certain possessions as just yours and ask everyone in the house to respect that, but extend the same respect to your child’s belongings

[cannilyuncanny]

Big mood. I know most of these are talking about little little kids, but here’s a tale from middle school. I had forgotten to charge my phone one night, and this was back when cell phones used to beep loudly when they were low on battery. I kept hearing the noise throughout the afternoon and not recognizing what it was because I’d never heard it before. When I finally did realize what it was, I was in science class and my fellow classmates were making presentations. I reached into my bag to try to turn off the phone, and then the low-battery sound went off, loud enough for the teacher to hear it. She confiscated my phone in front of everyone, and I didn’t get it back until after the weekend because it was a Friday. I was really embarrassed, especially to tell my parents.

When I got my phone back that Monday, my teacher said it was important for me to learn this lesson now since in college they wouldn’t tolerate phones going off. Fast forward to when I was in college, any time someone’s phone went off, either the professor would tell them to turn it off, or they would say, “Oh, my bad,” and turn it off themselves, and everyone would move on. I even had a professor who danced around while someone’s phone went off, and it was a welcome moment of levity during the lecture.

I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.

[dechart]

God I’ve been reading these posts for a while and each time I am struck with the realization that certainly not all parents were supposed to be a parent

[bobcatdump]

“I say all this to say, one of the worst aspects of being a child/teen was adults assuming my intentions were malicious.” YES this

[what-even-is-thiss]

The problem is, even if families are forgiving the culture around children still effects the child. I use myself as proof of that.

A few times between the ages of 4 and 18 I broke things. I broke my grandma’s favorite Christmas ornament. Her first question was: “Are you hurt?” and when I apologized profusely she said “I’m just glad you weren’t hurt.”

I broke a few plates. I broke a couple glasses. Every time my dad’s first response was “Did you get cut?” the second step was cleaning up the broken bits, and the third was a discussion of what led to me breaking it and how I could avoid doing that in the future.

Same with spills. Same with stains. My biggest “punishment” from my immediate family was being taught how to clean up the mess I made and being shown in detail how to avoid the same mistake in the future if it was avoidable. There were consequences for my actions, but they were the direct result of those actions and nothing much beyond that.

My family tried so hard to teach me how to deal with accidents in a healthy way. They were patient. They treated every slip-up as a learning opportunity. They showed me a lot of love. The other adults still got to me. Teachers still punished and publicly shamed me and other students for our mess-ups. Extended family members outside of my small supportive circle still yelled at me. My friends’ parents still got mad.

To the point where whenever I messed up my first instinct was that my dad or grandparents were going to punish me, or yell at me, or hit me, even though they never did. They just didn’t. They always responded with patience and an attitude of “I’m glad you’re safe and I want to help you learn from this.” And I was still afraid of messing up. Mortified. Expecting the worst every time.

It’s like… we need to change the culture around this, man. Completely.

THE CONTENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING 12 YEARS FOR 

[septemberpond]

HOW DIDN’T I KNOW THIS BEFORE OMG

[velmasdinkleys]

ok so!! if you were in charge of the live action Kim possible sequel, what would the plot be? who would you cast as monique? would you add in any other new characters?

i’ve answered a similar question to this before i think but BASICALLY:

Monkey Fist is main the villain

the plot focuses mostly on Ron’s monkey powers

we actually have Kim/Ron friendship scenes

i would love for them to recreate the prom scene with Sadie doing a cover of Could it Be but since their friendship was so downplayed in the first movie it would seem too soon i guess we’ll just have to wait for the threequel

Navia Robinson should play Monique!!!!!! she plays Raven’s daughter in Raven’s Home and it would be so cute if they had her play her “mother”s role

Yuri and Sensei are in it

Senior and Junior make a cameo

Will Friedle and Raven both make cameos
