Look, I realize that the whole Schrodinger's Mitch thing has real political consequences on a national level, but since I'm not from Kentucky and have no say whatsoever in the outcome of the situation, I'm honestly just finding the entire thing grimly hilarious. Has Horrible Turtle Man died? We don't fucking know! Turns out senators can just not show up to work indefinitely and there are no consequences! What fun!

I need all the hyperlexic statistical outliers on tumblr to look up what’s meant by low literacy, it means like, can’t read the notice from the electric company that says they’re cutting you off. Can’t read your doctor’s instructions on how to treat yourself at home. It means “school system failed you so badly that it might kill you”, if you’re reading simple fiction for fun you are already so far out of the window of maximum concern

Okay but can we stop using hyperlexic to mean "has a large vocabulary" or "knows how to read really well"?

Hyperlexia is a real condition that makes people more likely to have a low literacy level because it's defined by being able to read words without comprehending what they're reading.

I’m hyperlexic and I used that term in that post because I recognize the pattern of people who know how to read every word but have a very hard time understanding the (especially social) meaning of the gestalt

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

Check out my new philosophy called Correctism. It includes all of the correct and true ideas and rejects the wrong ones.

During the Edo period in Japan it was quite common to portray actors as animals instead of people due to government restrictions. This print titled 'Rabbits as Okaru and Kanpei' is by Yoshifuji dated 1873.

there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

Imagine getting expelled from school for being an atheist and years later that school builds a monument to you but of your dead drowned corpse with your dick out.

They do it all classy though but still

We're gonna have a hard time convincing future generations the phrase "Trumped-up charges" is etymologically unrelated.

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.
