the inevitable conclusion
there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well
and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it
A zillion hours of hammering, skiving, dyeing, and Angelus paint later, finally finished my rapier hanger.
the warrior cats graphic novel adaptation exists as a separate entity from the books to me. it removes the weird romance between spottedleaf and firepaw. it acknowledges sibling relationships that were never canonically addressed before. it lifts a lot of the ableism behind cinderpaw becoming a medicine cat. it's made by a married sapphic couple. they draw cloudkit like this:
really it's an improvement overall and i like it completely on its own. this is what the people deserve after putting up with over 20 years of misogyny and ableism.

Hey kid, look at me.
I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.
Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.
These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.
