Support and uplift chinese queer creators and their fight. There is hope for an even better tomorrow.

how soon is “soon,” exactly? based on metaphysical calculations (lmao), fans are speculating hyx might air in july or august (lyx’s birthday month.) same story with hyx, winner is king keeps getting rumored release dates (they even leaked something on april fools last time. so cruel). atp i’m starting to think they want us to stitch all the leaks together and make the full drama ourselves. anyway, if your delulu is strong enough, maybe it really will manifest.

current circulating melon: immortality is said to be getting broadcast soon across the mainland, and on douban, it even says that winner is king might air in thailand this year (while hyx’s release date on douban is listed as 2027 lmao, that could just be a placeholder.) but like, i’m not believing anything until i see that play button on wetv and episode list shows up fr.

Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from the First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term

The second Trump administration has had the busiest first 100 days of any US presidency in nearly a century. Since January, I've been keeping a spreadsheet documenting 900+ policy changes and political developments. I then bundled many of the most important changes into 100 topics areas and wrote a summary of each of them, providing a semi-comprehensive account of the tremendous changes to US politics which have occurred.

It's completely free, brilliantly made, and I am incredulous that it had been so narrowly shared on Tumblr.

I am in awe of what Brett has done here. Please click through and read at least some of this because I think people are really missing out on what an incredible tool this is.

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

Loose- untight

Their = belonging to them

can’t = a contraction for cannot

Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:

TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3

Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.

Examples:

Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no

Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall

Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no

Viscous- sticky

Conscious- awake, mindful

SUBCONSCIOUS: NOT AWARE

You do not make a decision unconsciously, it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

If you wanna say someone made a decision without realizing, you use SUBCONSCIOUS.

If you wanna say you made a decision while sleeping (how??) you use UNCONSCIOUS

decision unconsciously,

it’s SUBCONSCIOUSLY.

It’s perfectly fine. Don’t claim it’s something it’s not.

ITS — POSSESSIVE FORM OF AN OBJECT

SHUDDERED - When you tremble convulsively with fear or revulsion

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

The subconscious/unconscious one is incorrect. See theory of unconscious mind. It is a fully valid term to use when talking about the psychological unconscious mind vs. the state of being physically unconscious. This is one of those ‘the word applies in both scenarios and to say otherwise is to ignore like, basically the entire school of psychology.’ People can and do make decisions using the unconscious or unconscious mind, and a lot of Freud’s and Jung’s writing concerns itself with this.

Also:

Sigmund Freud used the term “subconscious” in 1893[6][7] to describe associations and impulses that are not accessible to consciousness.[8] He later abandoned the term in favor of unconscious
