This man has typecast himself into a role so specific that he can't do normal Game Changer eps any more. Any Game Changer ep he's in has to torture him personally or it's a waste of perfectly good Brennan. Pray for him.

dropout is a studio of people all in spy vs spy level shenanigans with everyone else at all times for our entertainment

You can tell that they used to be youtubers. It's in the bones of the company.

I know I'm several years behind on this but I am just now watching She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and let me just say AAAA, AAAAA, AAAAAAAA sjhfagsfjhagdajshh AAAAAA YESSSSSS

Double Trouble using Adora's voice to call Catra "kitten" specifically to get a rise out of her holy shiiiiittt

Horde Prime talking to Catra like "hmmmm, elevated heart rate, dilated pupils? gay homosexual detected"

I should add - the US government STILL disproportionately targets Indigenous families for child welfare checks. ICWA is supposed to protect against this but is unevenly enforced, and there's even talk of overturning it. Protect ICWA and Indigenous children.

If someone has to pass a test, someone has to design the test. If it's a law, then the government does, and it can change with the government. You can't assume that good intentions will prevail when it comes to vulnerable population groups, you have to protect them.

IT'S TRUE and it makes it really easy to explain the humors (and other Shakespearean passages having to do with personality being determined by bodily composition) to students!!

The theory of humours is ridiculously persistent. Something about it just makes more inherent sense to humans than germ theory does, and we keep coming back to it. Broadly equivalent ways of thinking about health have emerged in a bunch of places all over the world in history, but new ones also seem to emerge out of wellness fads every few years. You listen to something and it's like wait you're just balancing humours again!

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

working at a university really makes any romance set among college undergraduates unreadable but ESPECIALLY the dark romances where they're supposed to be like sinister mastermind daddy doms. he's 20 years old dude. there's a good chance he doesn't know how to do laundry. I know a guy who was living in a house with 4 other dudes when he was 20 and they were all sharing one fork. that guy's not leading the college mafia.

At least when Ninth House went for this vibe, it also made explicitly clear that the secret societies at the college were like, the junior members of the real society. They're not empowering themselves with occult rituals so much as they're performing occult rituals of power for alumni who might, in turn, give them an internship. Like, you have to keep the college dynamic in there too.

very cool how the gender binary in the emerging trad terf synthesis is like, there are two genders, the one that does bad things and the one that bad things are done to. the only thing in the world is immorality and it flows from unexperiencing agents to unacting experiencers.

which naturally appeals to people who would like to be perceived as inherently lacking the capacity for immorality. for whatever reason

anyway remember bell hooks’s very cogent critique of second-wave feminist organizing in ‘sisterhood: solidarity between women’ where she argues that by “bonding as ‘victims’, white women’s liberationists were not required to assume responsibility for confronting the complexity of their own experience … Identifying as ‘victims’, they could abdicate responsibility for their role in the maintenance and perpetuation of sexism, racism, and classism.” it’s not by accident that terf gender essentialism dovetails so much with other biological-determinist & essentialist assumptions including Extremely Racist Ones   

@smjit I try not to just tag you in all bee things but LOOK AT THIS!
