I don't mean you can't get good at things through repeated practice. You can do that, I have done that, but I don't trust it.

I was driving this morning and thinking about how I have never developed the blasé contempt for it most people seem to despite never having caused an accident in 20 years because my sense of time is such that I might as well have been driving for a week. I'm a good, safe driver, but I do not have a heap of confidence in my driving despite having regularly done it for two decades because my sense of time is such that those two decades may as well not have happened.

I finished editing a novel today. When I publish it, it will be the 64th novel I have published in the last 10 years, not counting ghostwritten work. You'd think after a decade and 63 novels I'd be confident that I was capable of writing, editing, and publishing a novel—even be confident about the timeline for this—but no. No, I feel like I'm doing it for the first time, every time, and I was surprised to have finished the editing at all, let alone on time. Because those other 63 novels were published in a past I have a vague at best concept of. I have a record that says it happened but I do not feel it.

I cannot trust my future behaviour because for me there is functionally no past. I know it occurred, I have records, but I don't feel it the way people without this kind of memory issue do. I feel inexperienced at everything I've ever done and I cannot accurately estimate my skill level at anything, particularly not on the fly.

This show had ZERO fucking oversight it’s actually good

They’re all nonbinary

There’s an entire section of just among us VR

The animation for the imposter is noticeably better than the rest of the show

There’s a 12 Angry Men bit

Most of the crewmates hate capitalism

There’s completely unnecessary amounts of blood and sorta brutal deaths

The characters cuss and occasionally flip each other off

Absolutely dumb visual gags

There’s an entire half an episode where they get high on oxygen deprivation and hamster pile naked

During that same bit one of the crew mates is just played by a guy in an inflatable costume in front of a green screen

Aang: back in my day it was called weed city

Sokka: I’m… pretty sure it wasn’t

happy pride month everyone 🏳️‍🌈
