So you know how in star wars we have the "everybody wants the space twins" joke? well, i'm applying it to atla. everybody on the team has had a crush on both Katara and Sokka at some point of time or the other. Nobody is immune to their specific brand of simultaneous badassery and dumbassery

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."
I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

yaoi between two beautiful knights who keep ending up fighting each other but it turns out both of them are pretending to be men in order to be knights so its actually secret beautiful butch yuri. picture this
one is the handsome gentlemanly princely type with long hair riding on a white horse that all the ladies fawn over, the other is the badass grim bulky type with scars and a scowl and a big ass broadsword who always aura farms in the corner of the tavern alone
yep exactly
High femme queen has a betting book running with her ladies in waiting about the two of them (when they'll get together, who'll fall first/hardest, when they'll realise they're both women, etc.) without realising that there is a separate, secret pool on when she'll realise she's falling for her two knights
I'm picturing something like the "I am not left handed" reveal in The Princess Bride crossed with the "I am no man" reveal in Return of the King

I'm not gonna articulate this well, but there's this phenomenon I keep seeing on the left that I'll call "bean soup rhetoric," wherein someone fails to understand that they are not the target audience for a particular message, or just can't conceptualize why a speaker would craft their message differently to resonate with a target audience that doesn't already completely agree with them.
"The 'God Made Trans People' billboard is stupid! God didn't make me! I'm an atheist!" Okay. The billboard sits along a major highway in Kansas. We can deduce that the target audience is not you—it's the centrist evangelical Christians driving along that road who could probably be persuaded to become allies as long as we choose our words carefully and don't make them feel attacked for not already knowing everything about trans rights issues. Another one I see a lot is, "We shouldn't be talking about how right-wing legislation catches [privileged in-group] in the crossfire when [marginalized out-group] suffers far more!" I know. I agree with you. Which is why you and I are not the intended audience of this argument!
The entire point of rhetoric is to win over someone who doesn't already fully agree with you. In this case, let's say that someone is Jennifer, the moderate center-right mom in your neighborhood who doesn't really know or care about transgender issues but would be absolutely horrified by the idea of her teenage daughter having to submit to an invasive inspection of her body just to be allowed to play soccer. Tell her, "Banning trans students from sports will inevitably subject all student athletes to invasive gender-policing," or "Legal restrictions on gender-affirming care will make it harder for you to access the hormone replacement therapy you take to treat menopause symptoms," and she is more likely to question her existing beliefs and listen to the rest of what you have to say than if you lead with leftist talking points that she already has a calcified opinion about or which she thinks do not personally affect her.
Tailoring the argument to the things she already cares about does not mean we're forgetting that she has more privilege than most—entirely the opposite, in fact. A privileged ally can be extremely valuable. Jennifer votes in every election. And so do all the other ladies at her book club, and church, and in the PTA, and those folks listen to Jennifer. There's a reason both parties were courting suburban women so hard in the last election cycle! If we can find common ground with her on this, if we can get her calling her representatives and talking to her friends and phone-banking and door-knocking and making a stink, that's how the needle starts to move. If I can convince her to take her support away from the candidates who are actively restricting my rights and throw it toward those who want to restore and expand those rights...then I'm sorry, but Jennifer is a more valuable ally to me than the people who agree that the legal boundaries of gender ought to be abolished altogether but refuse to actually do anything except complain online about how both sides are equally bad because the right is trying to force everyone to drink the cyanide kool-aid while the left keeps serving bean soup and they don't like bean soup
"Meet people where they are" is Activism 101, and people seem to be allergic to seeing that this is exactly that.
"Bean Soup Rhetoric" is a very good concept.

was thinking that there should be a universal day of observance of the common kinship between humanity, like all the best parts of the christmas carols but shorn of their religious trappings so they were more universalist in character. but then i thought such a concept could only result in a bloodless and anodyne holiday of a very generic "International Fraternity of the Human Race Day" type. and then i thought, wait, no, we could work with that. all the songs could be clunky hymns as written by early 20th century internationalists. sung in failed auxlangs like ido and volapuk. the holidays decorations could feature some generic blue orb that represents the world. everybody wears business suits, the attire of the high modernist international order. you could set up a giant orb in your house and put gifts under it. the presents would all be food items from around the world, representing the safest and most milquetoast method of repackaging other cultures for foreign consumption. and when you get blind drunk and get into a screaming match with your family, you have to do it in esperanto.
Läbükön del siämü svistäl to everyone sitting under their blue orbs of unity today!
I can't stop thinking about Del Siämü Svistäl, I think that the symbols traditionally were the blue orb of unity (obviously!) And staple crops representing the unity of mankind (Rice, wheat, maize, potato, sago, and plantain, the Gretik Mäl Flor or "Six Great Blossoms"), with a crowned Emperor Penguin, Jörik Hireg Blövik ("Beautiful King Blövik") who represents the Antarctic, where humans are only ever guests, to remind us that we share this world equally with all the other species as well.
Children play swingball, to represent both the orbit of the earth around the sun, and the futility of conflict, and traditional gifts are richly-decorated concrete rebar supporters ("Zilid Kokretot Flenem", "Concrete Cylinder of Friendship" but usually just "Zilids"), representing how although modernity has standardised many things across the world, we all have our own unique traditions to share:
Carefully arranging the cones to support the mesh which holds up the Blue Orb Of Unity, and retelling the stories of the people who gave them to you, is a beloved tradition on Del Siämü Svistäl Eve, and having cones decorated by friends from across the world is seen as a great point of pride.
...The only thing I don't know, is what day it's celebrated on. I wish I had paid more attention in civics lessons.
OH, of course, it's on the Aphelion, when Earth is furthest from the Sun, when we all need to hold to each other, because each other is all we have.
This year it'll be the 3rd of July, and I am extremely willing to send you all festive zilids!
Del Siämü Svistäl is in a couple of weeks!
We celebrated, there was food (garlic bread, fufu and peanut soup, rice pudding), there were decorations (The Blue Orb of Unity, naturally, and papercraft penguins on the cocktail glasses), I shared zilids with some of my closest friends (gave 3, recieved 4) and although the stories were all broadly "I was given this by (local friend) who was inspired by (artist they like) and I will place it under the Blue Sphere Of Unity for the first time today!" I am excited that next year I will be able to share these ones again and say "...For the second time today!"
I'm going to FlameCon this year! Excited to go to New York and see y'all~
Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.
Its surprisingly tasty????
Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.

-Agua pepino: water, cucumbers, lime, sugar, optional mint.
I have been reminded of:

"Wow, I wonder why this post was popular this week."
-sees the reports of the heatwave in Europe-
"... ah."
maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.
you are not immune to propaganda. it makes some people a whole hell of a lot of money for you to hate fat people and fear becoming (or staying, I think like 70% or something of the US is fat) one of us.
a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.
every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.
the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.
some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.
you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

there's so much crazy shit once you go down the rabbit hole. for example, BMI was not invented by anyone with a medical background. it was never meant to measure individual health.

I think what really bothers me about video game difficulty discourse is the way that it equates "inaccessibility" with "artistic choices that may alienate certain disabled players."
like, okay, speaking as a musician and an autistic woman: there are certain sounds that I am simply not going to enjoy, right? I don't like music that's too heavy on the high end, because it sounds shrill. I've listened to music that had so much Stuff Going On at once that is literally made me feel sick from overstimulation. But that doesn't mean that music shouldn't exist, or that the creators should make a hypothetical pared-down remix just so I specifically can enjoy it. There's other music out there which I like! It's fine! I'll listen to that instead!!
and, idk, it bothers me because there are a lot of legitimate accessibility features that I think every game should have. there's no reason for a puzzle game to be inaccessible to colorblind people. there's no reason that an execution-heavy game shouldn't allow you to set up alternate control schemes. but the solution is not "make the puzzles easier" or "make the bosses do less damage" any more than the "solution" to a complicated piece of writing is "create a version where everything is written using simpler language." idk! it just feels like a refusal to engage with art as art and not Product.
That last bit about writing is particularly on-point right now, because this is take is going around:
So yeah there are people who genuinely believe that "accessibility" means only making things that are unchallenging. This is incorrect in any form of art, whether it's popular media or something more traditional. Accessibility in writing means printing in larger text, use of readable fonts and formatting, translation into Braille, and recording in clear audio. Accessibility in gaming should mean colorblindness filters, toggles to deactivate strobing in cutscenes and environments, scalable text, custom keymapping, and the ability to modify graphical settings including framerates, motion blur, fixed versus free camera, and so on.
To truly engage with any form of art, one must at least be willing to be challenged. To claim that challenge is by its nature inaccessibility is at best ignorance to the purpose of accessibility, and at worst a gross infantilization of people like me who actually have disability-related struggles that could be mitigated with some fairly basic control of settings.
This begs the question of what is the art and what is the mechanics of the delivery method? For games that are strictly non-narrative combat or action games (e.g., MOBAs, brawlers, arcade games, etc), this all stands. For most modern gaming, however, the art consists in the storytelling. In these types of games, simplified combat is directly analagous to large print. "Story mode" is as much an accessibility feature to the story as audiobooks and braille are.
Consider: if the author of a book were allowed to demand that you must fistfight their chosen champion to be allowed to read it, would you consider that an artistic choice? Or would you call that gatekeeping?
