The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.

“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“

there a lot of details of american macroculture that have caused what I'd describe as a reality fracturing mental reset when I learned about them. one was learning that children do literally swear their allegiance to the american flag every morning before school and that's not a quaint comedic exaggeration left over from the 1950s like rabbit ears on a TV. one was learning that Americans have to pay for ambulance transportation. one was learning that Americans are taught the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were tough brave necessities that made the world safer and not horrific war crimes on a footing with the nazi holocaust.

every episode is about demystifying another aspect of girlhood that's also framed as like, recovering from depression. You get over wearing panties and skirts which feel insurmountable at first and now hair care and styling are an adventure. you get over wearing your hair in pigtails casually and now getting the courage to cook is an adventure. you get used to doing some chores around the house and your sister notices how much happier you seem and how much more time you spend together like you used to. you get used to being a girl at home and now being a girl outside with safe people is an adventure. you're not quite ready to be all on your own outside but you meet a friend and now girl friendships are an adventure.

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

I'm sorry that happened to you, you didn't deserve that, no one deserves that I would burn the world to the ground if I could add even one moment of happiness to your past

Ohh hey my corpse

While mutual grooming operates within a social hierarchy in many mammals, domestic cats are unusual in that subordinate cats receive extra grooming from their superiors, rather than vice versa. It's been hypothesised that this behaviour reinscribes the group's hierarchy by having dominant cats "parent" their subordinates.

I haven't read as many TTRPG system books as you, so I wanted to ask: What is the most absurd or exaggerated things you ever read in a system book? for example, there is this brazilian system called 3D&T and in the page giving examples of "what each level on each stat can do" they go from the usual 5 max starter points to over to over a 1000 points in one stat saying "you can destroy a star in one attack with this value"

You're working on a medieval setting?! Wow! Will there be universities? Where can I get more information on this? How do I support it?
