as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.

@transfem-kirito-truther ur kind thing

every single VR death game is trans, I don't make the rules

The thing about Fitz and Beloved which I think is so truly charming is a part of what Hobb is often great at (perhaps more so with relationships she doesn’t Fully or solely mean to be romantic) where I really really do believe how much they just LIKE each other. They like being around each other, they enjoy what the other has to say, they think of specific things and memories about each other fondly, they feel pleased by the mere presence of the other in tangible ways on top of their cosmic soul bond connection. They laugh together!!!!

thinking about how after bee is born fitz starts having stress dreams about the fool being tormented in buckkeep and being paralyzed and unable to intervene. how we’re offered glimpses into early moments between them which were obscured from us in farseer, perhaps because their significance is only now becoming apparent to fitz. how his guilt over being a bystander to the fool’s abuse in childhood is mirrored in his guilt over wishing for a “normal” child. the way bee represents to him a second chance at caring for the fool, whom he fears he failed. the way he projects beloved onto bee and recognizes their connection chapters and chapters and chapters before ever admitting they might be related. the way bee is the only conduit left for his love for the fool. the way “no limits” includes loving someone through the love of your child, or loving someone as you would your child. “i cradled him in my arms, as closely as if he were my child or my lover” !!!

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

OH HELL THE FUCK YES

I've noticed in recent years that, at least within mainstream usamerican culture, the sympathetic petty criminal archetype has largely fallen out of favor. you still have plenty of stories of noble nights, benevolent aristocrats, sympathetic mercenaries, but the idea of a thief with a heart of gold is increasingly rare. often petty criminals are just used as uncomplicated cannon fodder, so the protagonist has something human-shaped that they can kill or mutilate without remorse. you see this with dnd players often. the wicked king or the cruel dragon can be reasoned with, but a highway bandit robbing caravans to eat is perfectly fine to torture to death with sorcery

this is no less common outside of fantasy, either. god knows how many books, films, games, about sympathetic soldiers, police, even mercenaries. sometimes they try to reckon with the inherent violence and cruelty of these careers, but they rarely have the fangs for a message sharper than "sometimes good people have to do bad things." but a thief? a mugger? god forbid, a drug dealer? uncomplicatedly evil vermin, all. again, just used as cannon fodder, purely to provide something human-shaped to hate and brutalize without conscience

there is an obvious racial angle to this, as people grow more leery towards "those people are evil and inhuman because they look different," the message shifts to "those people are evil and inhuman because they are criminals," paired with heavily biased (and significantly more publicized) criminalization of racial minorities to achieve the same goal of publicly condoned repression and violence

The exception is cheesy local commercials. Those should be the only ads. I will listen to someone who runs a store in my city doing an awkward rap. We once had a furniture store with these awful CGI ads and the slogan "where the deals are so low, it's almost criminal!" and then they got shut down, by the cops, because it turned out. It turned out the deals were so low because. You're not going to believe this but the prices were so low it was in fact
