Queerest Girl(s?) on the Block

how to stop isolating yourself?? the answer is give up on code and hidden messages. love fully and loudly and truthfully and always. be deliberate. be open. feel everything. but won’t it be hard? won’t it hurt? yes!!!! yes.

Also the way he just trusts the data and runs with it. He doesn't go "acceleration due to gravity can't be fifteen meters per second, that's impossible," he goes "that can't be true on Earth so I'm not on Earth."

Or it could be a centrifuge. He proceeds to spend half an hour proving it's supremely unlikely to be a centrifuge. Yeah, this man has the scientific method baked into his head.

there are so many variables in that question. do they stay in that formation, or attack separately? how do they move: roll, hop, levitate? what are they made of, and how brittle is it? you can’t just ask a question made entirely of unspecified hypotheticals and expect decisive answers!

I can ask whatever I want, I'm a mathematician.

Also, they explode.

ghastmaskzombie is speaking like a physicist, and I don't like it

Okay first of all, bold of you to use the present tense; it's been over 4 years and I talk totally different now (everything else about me is different too). Second, all I was asking for was an adequate definition of the question. I think that's pretty reasonable. And third, you are severely overestimating my level of education to be comparing me to a physicist. I dropped out of fucking high school. XD

It's literally cutes when a girl's weapon is as big as her whole all of her

i bet it feels good as fuck to feel good

i think its charming when peoples personal lives improve and they get drastically worse at posting

told my flatmate about my dream and he said "i hope he becomes one of your favourites because of this so you will always be reminded of him viscerally dying in front of you" ??????? DUDE???????

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

if you’re white and wanna write a poc character and feel awkward about it i implore you to ignore any twitblr stuff treating it as a massive ethical burden and instead come in more with the same mindset you’d have if you wanted to write about idk firefighters but didn’t know anything about firefighters so you do… research. Like fuck off with the weird kinda creepy calls for spiritual introspection you’re not writing about god damn space aliens you’re writing about humans and if you think you need more perspective of different life experiences just read?

Unless you’d consider yourself an expert on medieval history, if it feels easier to get into ‘the mind’ of an 11th century knight than it does a normal 21st century person of a different ethnicity than yours that’s not a sign of ‘being woke’ and you should ignore any weirdo twitblrs that basically wanna reskin racial Othering as a good and moral thing to uphold bc that’s what this discourse amounts to

I would much rather have white people wanting to learn about my cultures through trying to write about them than to have them be so scared of getting it less than perfect that they’d ignore them completely. And even if something is not quite right, there’s a massive difference between maliciousness and ignorance, and people treating those two as the Exact Same Bad also contributes to this othering attitude.

Being so scared of being disrespectful that you give a nonwhite character absolutely no flaws, ambiguity or just plain human traits is how you end up just churning out bad characters, not respectful ones.
