Merel Hichurch is autistic and maybe Face blind

I'm relistening to the McElroy's The Adventure Zone Balance and hearing every episode back to back it becomes pretty clear that Merel isn't very good at Insight or intelligence checks when it comes to people, just let me in general. That makes it so Merel misses a lot of social cues and misses recognizing people just over and over!

ITS 69 DAYS TIL MY BIRTHDAY!!

69!!!!!

The old lady next door called me and asked when we're coming home today, since she can't get her bottle of eye drops open. I said we'll probably be home by 9 pm, though she reassured me that she'd probably manage without them for tonight, but she'll need them again at 9 am tomorrow and she doesn't want to come knocking that early since we'll probably still be asleep by then.

No matter how many times we reassure her that we wake up between 6 and 8 am with no alarm every day, she's still convinced that we wake up at noon or 1 pm. Almost every time when she needs my help for something she'll apologise in case she woke me up. At like 3 in the afternoon. She is 100% sure that we just live like the wolf pupy tweet.

What people don't understand is that I'd rather read something that is near incoherent with spelling and grammar mistakes, written by a 14 year old who's trying to show how much they appreciate a piece of media with a fan fic, then read any "Masterpiece" written by AI.

It could be perfect grammar, perfect spelling, it could be in a genre that I love and seek out normally

But it will always be soulless lifeless and drab. The story will always be predictable and the tropes will always be overrated and over used.

Why?

BECAUSE ITS LITERALLY MADE BY STEALING AND POSTING OTHER PEOPLES WORKS!!

Impeccable music choice here:

On the American broadcast, about five seconds after the music started the announcer said about the woman, “she lists her hobbies as ‘forgetting things’ and ‘existential crises’”, and I can’t imagine a more delightful one-two punch

I need someone to remind me to get better at art so that I can draw Loravish and Taako meeting eachother

I've probably watched too much Leverage, because a man in campus cop uniform came in to ask questions about our box office safe today and my boss let him in and gave him all the info he wanted, no questions asked, and all I could think is that we are horrifically easy to con

sapphosewrites

Yes, guy with a toolbelt who says he's the plumber here to fix our known leak, please have unrestricted access to our basement directly below the box office.

If this were Leverage he would be drilling through the floor right now

kajaono

Maybe he is? Have you checked?

sapphosewrites

No, although I did check the organizational ID of the British woman who came in to do a last minute film shoot on the second floor, bringing with her an equipment cart large enough to hide a person in.

So it turns out that there is, indeed, money missing from the safe.

if i said something like "mary shelley was a fujoshi who sat in the cuck chair to watch her husband and lord byron do the nasty" you people would be all over that but heaven forbid you reblog a post about 19th century oppressed-wives-locked-away-by-their-shithusbands escaping to do lesbian sex and mariticide

This is probably a little too much nuance, but whenever I see a "all borders are violence" post (a political position I generally agree with!) I always add a little asterisk that says "*but the border checks that keep you from bringing homegrown produce into big agricultural areas to avoid the transmission of parasites and invasive species are actually fine and if we were more vigilant about that kind of thing maybe we wouldn't have spotted lanternflies in the states."

That doesn't work as well as a slogan, though

My favorite part of youtube is the part of it that is middle-aged-to-old guys with zero production value who have made a simple, low-quality video on their phones about how to repair the exact fucking appliance that has been giving me grief so I can fix that fucker myself instead of spending hundreds of dollars to hire someone.

These men are all my honorary uncles and I love them.

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

So he said it can't be a Black. So I said, "For God's sakes, Judge Murphy, that's the whole point of the Goddamn story!" So he said, "No, it can't be a Black". Bill just called him up and raised the roof, and finally they said, "Well, you gotta take the perspiration off". I had the stars glistening in the perspiration on his Black skin. Bill said, "Fuck you", and he hung up.

Just to add context for those not aware of the impact of this story.

The reason it was so important for narrative purposes, was that the plot concerns the visit of the Astronaut, in his completely opaque spacesuit, to a planet populated entirely by self-aware robots (originally from Earth) who have built their own society and are petitioning to be allowed to interact with Earth again as equals.

They have a democratic government and free choice of careers etc. as the orange robot serving as guide tells the Astronaut.

The Astronaut notices that there are two different types of robot on this world; the orange ones, who are in charge, gifted access to all information and facilities. and the blue robots, who are seen as more limited in function, have less access to information and resources, and are not allowed positions of power or as wide a choice of employment opportunities. Even transportation is segregated.

The Astronaut investigates further and discovers that the blue and orange robots are actually structurally identical, there is absolutely no difference between their potential or capabilities, and it is only because the orange robots are instructed by their Educator system to consider themselves superior, that the difference exists.

The Astronaut tells the robots they are not ready for re-alignment with Earth, until they come to terms with their own unfairness, and how Earth had had to deal with this issue themselves. When that time comes, the robots will be able to ally with Earth.

Then he leaves in his spaceship, and it's only in that one final panel that we see the Astronaut is black.

Not subtle, nor should it be, but for 1950 this was a breathtakingly powerful statement, perhaps the first of it's kind in the genre.

The black character was not a caricature, or comedy relief, he was a main character in his own right, a human who "simply" was black.
