Can't stop thinking about how Prepotente and Brandon might have gotten along.

"You must establish a healthy attachment to this professional designated attachment person in the confines of a transactional relationship with a worryingly one-sided power imbalance (they can have you have incarcerated and forcibly medicated at any time; and their word will almost always be believed over yours).

And you must do this in order to repair your ability to connect with other humans in a healthy way, which you can't currently because of trauma and compulsive threat responses which formed in similar conditions to the ones which we are subjecting you to now, but for your own good this time (trust us, we know what's best for you!)."

...is it just me, or is this a bit like trying to open a box with the key which is inside of the box, and also the box is on fire.

"i would kill a pedophile to protect my child" ok but would you teach your child how to say no? even to adults? even to adults you like? would you teach your child the words "penis" and "vulva" and then use them? would you let them ask questions about their body? would you answer them honestly? would you learn how to cope with your feelings when you talk about human bodies, so they don't feel ashamed? would you set a positive example for how you talk about your body? would you tell your child they don't have to hug or kiss anyone? would you tell your family the same? would you stand by them when they refuse to hug someone? even someone you know has never done anything to hurt them? would you let your child avoid food they don't like? would you let you child avoid people they don't like? would you believe them? would you sit in the discomfort of not knowing all the answers and not take it out on them? would you love your child the same if someone did hurt them? would you make them feel valued just as they are? would you let them talk to doctors or nurses in private? would you let them express their feelings? would you show interest in their life? would you let your child say no to you? would you help your child feel safe coming to you when they make a mistake? would you apologize to your child? would you believe them? would you put aside your anger to focus on what would make your child feel safe and loved? would you put your ego aside for your child? would you take your child's concerns seriously? would you listen to your child? would you believe them?

finished the unspoken name today and i Love Csorwe and Tal’s relationships with Sethennai as i knew i would. Csorwe turning into his weapon year by year and she accepts it bc she wants to be useful, needed (and then he'll love her). and then she finally gets him the reliquary (and then he'll love her) and still he doesn't even think about her for more than a minute. her and Tal resenting each other because they can't admit they resent him. it kills me like ... the dynamic of wanting love from a person that is so unwilling or so wholly incapable of ever giving it to you. someone who is never even going to see you.

I don’t think I can stress enough how many people on here need a hobby like 95% of what people refer to as jobless behavior is actually just hobbyless behavior. Take up watercolors or tabletop or join a hiking group or something you probably won’t feel as much of an incessant need to freak out on the internet every day

As a note - when Wu Xie is explaining his definition of "interested in," the original text uses 他 which is generally a masculine pronoun. However, before ~100ish years ago, it wasn't gendered, and there's no gender distinction in the spoken pronouns, so I erred on the side of ambiguity. But I want to be clear that "often thinking of him" is an equally valid translation.

This one is... so much. Get it together, Wu Xie! Xiaoge knows exactly what he means!

Translation is my own, please correct me if there are errors!

I am spoiling the live action Lilo & Stitch. And I am doing it up front and plainly.

Do not fucking see this movie. Do not waste your money on this. Period.

They made Nani give Lilo up to the American government. They made Nani LEAVE Hawaii and pursue being a marine biologist. They made a native Hawaiian character give up her sibling to pursue a dream that she originally did not have. This is imperialist propaganda at its FINEST.

The original fucking movie is about family staying together. It's about indigenous people being able to stay with each other and stay in their home and be together! That's the whole fucking point! Nani is Lilo's last living relative on her homeland—it is jarring, it is disgusting and disturbing that Nani would not only leave her last blood relative alone, give her up to the very government that is harming native Hawaiians TODAY, but also travel to the "mainland" for her dream!

Not to mention, Nani's actress isn't fucking Hawaiian. She's much paler in photos and real life. They fucking darkened her for this movie.

Don't even get me started on the transgender subtext of Pleakley's "human" disguise from the original movie being completely erased in favor of him being played by a regular ass white man. Jumba doesn't have his accent, they made him more villainous, and his "human" disguise is a non-fat white man—which part of his original joke, I know, is that he was bigger and was more clumsy in the movie because of his size, but to have the main shape of his character completely removed is also fucking weird.

This live action movie is a desecration to the original. I encourage you to not see it, please. Don't give Disney any of your money on this one. Just watch the original. Please just watch the original.

The new message in the live action movie is disturbing and gross.

This is one of the most disrespectful live actions I've seen and heard of. I implore you to not watch it.

I'm inventing something called "Devereaux weekends" where you take a weekend trip to a town you've never been to, packing only clothes you own but have always been too self-conscious to wear, and putting on a fake identity the entire time, which you can guitlessly shed once you return home

I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

Fuckers.

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper
