By The Way, You Can Improve Your Executive Function. You Can Literally Build It Like A Muscle.

sometimes i see cis people say "trans people will understand if you misgender them at first. i call my nephew 'her' all the time and he knows i don't mean it" no he doesnt. he probably never hangs out with you for more than ten minutes because that's how long you can last in a conversation before making him feel like shit. also he thinks you're, best case scenario, stupid for not being able to figure it out, or worst case scenario, uncaring about him and his needs. he doesn't like spending time with you. you're deluding yourself into thinking you're far kinder than you are. you're weird man.

Look, if you suspect that someone has done a joke edit of an image, but you can't see the difference, don't sit there playing Where's Waldo; load the original image and the suspected edit up in separate tabs with identical zoom levels, and rapidly toggle back and forth between them. Don't even look for anything in particular – just flip them back and forth as fast as you can. Even single-pixel discrepancies will immediately become obvious. Make the human brain's fuckass pattern recognition work for you rather than against you!

A boy can dream, can't he?

I understand when people say to the ones who coddle adult male characters that they're "a grown ass man with dick and balls", but I don't think this applies that well to Serizawa Katsuya because ONE made this ex-terrorist a little too cute in my opinion.

"That cool untranslated indie gem you just found", a primer

i always think that. you have to ask yourself, what's your relationship to your city, what's your relationship to the land you inhabit. what's your relationship to its culture, to its actors, its writers, its musicians, its painters. what's the depth of that relationship, are you well acquainted with its cultural happenings? mildly acquainted? not acquainted at all? because it's one thing as a teenager that all your idols are foreign, but something completely different when you're in your thirties. do you know the traditions and history of where you live? this is a matter of identity and belonging. and the fact that i'm even saying this in english instead of my first language says a lot about it

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

my most peaceful hobby is storm watching, especially at night. a few nights ago, three storms converged overhead. one to the south, one to the east, and one directly on top of me. the fog settled in over half the city below, some lights distinct and others muddled together, bright under the fog. the night and the clouds obscured the mountains to the east, but when lightning cracked through it illuminated the entire range from behind. what happened over those mountains that night? the mist never gives up her mysteries. id like to think it was storm giants
