the only thing you're allowed to watch between the ages of 0 and 17 is barney the dinosaur and the only thing you're allowed to watch once you turn 18 is cannibal holocaust

Hate when I see someone say something like, "I wish they counted fanfiction as reading." And like, who is they? Who is the invisible audience dictating your life? You can do whatever you want.

anyway never stop making character with facial scars. characters of all sorts with scars of all sorts whether they're backstory-based or just because you like the look, and especially if they're not your typical gruff fighter type character, but go ahead with those too. I love you characters with facial scars

don't let anyone convince you it's too edgy or superfluous or whatever to give a character a facial scar, or any scar, for that matter. scars are a very interesting vehicle for characterisation and a fascinating part of human bodies and the more characters with (neutrally or positively presented) scars the more comfortable and better folks can feel about their own. characters with scars forever and ever

oh and they're also massively sexy. just as an added bonus

this is from "research as a leisure activity" by celine nguyen, publs. on stubstack in 2024. it's a very good read

I met someone when I was pretty young who had received a generous inheritance -- not enough to live a life of luxury, but enough to live on comfortably without working. He had chosen to simply keep going to school his whole life. He did get degrees, but he didn't use them for anything other than pleasure -- he had a Ph.D but also two Master's degrees, three BAs, and was currently serving an apprenticeship in blacksmithing while considering trying out some trade schools next. I thought, if I had the money I'd do that too, and then thought about how I still could learn all the time, it would just have to be a hobby instead of the career he'd made of it. It definitely changed the way I saw both education and leisure.

The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.

"we detected a mature post" yeah I'm in my 30s

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

can’t believe “murderbot would HATE a rainforest cafe” is textually supported
