I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.
But I was little too.

hate when I type :) and this 🙂 fucker appears. Go away you evil soul
people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard
There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

I bring a sort of "body neutrality applies to everyone even if they're bad people" to the body shaming conversation that "people who want to body shame but only when they think they have a moral high ground so as to not be seen as a bad person" don't like
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal
This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.
The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human
Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

it's an accessibility tool i made for myself because i needed it, which basically lets you focus on one sentence at a time as you read large blocks of texts (books, articles, etc.). it offers different highlight styles, some of which use gradients to help guide your eyes from the start of the sentence until the end. you can move forward and back pressing the buttons or using ALT + left and right arrow keys if you use it and you find it helpful please tell me about it so i can have the motivation to keep improving it. i love knowing people use my tools

[ID. Two gifs of the accessibility tool in action. They highlight one sentence at a time for ease of readability.
The first gif shows the tool cycling down the paragraphs, from sentence to sentence, in a thick yellow highlight.
The second gif shows the different highlight styles such as; a thick yellow, a thinner yellow, no highlight at all, a gradient highlight, blocky tri-color highlight by line, and colored text by line. End ID.]
I’m a college student struggling with brain fog due to medical issues, I’m definitely going to try this out next time I’m working on one of my reading heavy courses :) a lot of my books are accessible via some website cloud thing on a browser because owning things isn’t real anymore. this looks like something that will really really help me.
I feel like modern people are not sufficiently despising the Bennets for being filthy rich and saving exactly nothing. Probably because a lot of people are under the misapprehension that they are poor. They're not, they are in the top 1% of income for their era. Compared to the average earnings at the time, their yearly income is around £1.5 million.
But lets make it more accessible and say they have an income of $500,000 USD. Every single year. Every single year since their children were babies. Babies cost almost nothing. A nursemaid is like £10/year and baby clothes are white for bleaching and are passed on through the children. The expenses at this time are very minimal.
Mr. & Mrs. Bennet had $500,000 for at least 15 years when the girls were small and saved exactly $0. Instead, Mrs. Bennet hosted parties where the food was 50x better than Lady Lucas's and, I don't know, bought herself fancy lace. Mr. Bennet probably purchased books. The education budget for their children was basically zero because they never had a proper governess.
Imagine the article, "I am a housewife. My husband and I make $500,000 per year, though about $200,000 of that must go to running our massive estate that we inherited and don't have to pay a mortgage on. We have no savings. When my husband dies, my daughter and I will only be left with only a tiny amount of money ($50,000 every year without lifting a finger) and the estate will go to a cousin. My daughters have no education and no money to inherit. I don't know what to do!!!"
Wouldn't you be reading that in absolute disdain? It is totally ridiculous that neither parent saved a single shilling. It is so stupid. They are both wasteful idiots. They both deserve our disgust.
Honestly, when Elizabeth visits Rosings and Lady Catherine is all like...
"You didn't have a governess?!"
"Your mother didn't even set work for you to do?!"
"They didn't even get you a tutor (aka go to London for the masters) for the subjects you were interested in?!"
"Your literal teenage sisters are Out even though they are teenagers?!"
We should be siding with her.
Like, I was home schooled and there is a lot of bad stereotypes about home schooling... But then there's the family that the home schoolers think are weird. The Bennets are that family.
Lady C is RUDE, but she isn’t WRONG!

#oh my god YES#this is the thing i am prepared to rant about at a moment's notice#modern audiences usually do NOT grok that the bennets are RICH rich#they are the 1%!#they are just INCREDIBLY BAD WITH MONEY#they ARE the people making $500k+ a year who STILL live paycheck to paycheck because they keep maxing out their credit cards on dumb shit!#they have a BUNCH of money coming in every year and they have been saving NONE of it because saving money is boring and tedious!#also it's fully insane that they are rich people who didn't send their daughters to school OR hire a governess#they gave those poor girls NO proper education even though they#(unlike many/most families in the time period!)#had the RESOURCES to educate their daughters exceptionally well!#the WAY Lady Catherine and Darcy phrase their initial criticism of the Bennets is rude and snobbish#but the criticism ITSELF is BEYOND VALID OMG#i am forever banging pots and pans#begging moderns viewers who have only seen 2005 P&P to understand that THE BENNETS ARE NOT POOR#OMG SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT#THEY JUST SUCK ASS AT HANDLING THEIR MONEY#pride and prejudice
it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, events, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.
It's not r*pe, it's rape. It's not su*cide, it's suicide. Not unalive, dead. The backbone needs to be reintroduced en masse because softening the blow of these concepts with advertising language does absolutely nothing but allow people unaffected by them to feel not even a sting of what they can do, prompting inaction.
And it's been proven that on certain websites, you don't even face a repercussion for using the words as they are. People just started censoring themselves because they feared the potential lack of views and likes and followers which is so nasty itself.
I attended an anti-suicide seminar in college. One of the big takeaways from it was that stigmatizing suicide increases the rate of suicide, because people who are feeling suicidal feel like they can't ask for help. Every time I see babytalk garbage like 'unalive', I think of that.
Use the real words. Words have power, and they matter.
Maybe we saw the real shrimp colours this whole time.
