if you are worried that people might fraudulently access disability accommodations to gain a competitive edge in college, the proper solution is to structure education less like a competition but I encourage you to think about disability accomodations from a lens where disabled people exist to you

this is one of those things I've been quoting for as long as I've been on the internet and I have to actively try to not just repeat it as often as I feel like or else everyone will think I'm insane

the entire nuzzi thing is like that because the only sort of person elite columnist types are capable of caring about is themselves. so they assume this story must be interesting and newsworthy because it's all about the brilliant mind and troubled heart of the most important sort of person on earth

i think it is a catastrophic indictment of a system of government that entire legislatures appear to be largely unaware of the contents of the bills they pass.

okay so on one hand it sucks that it was snowing earlier today, but on the other hand my head feels like it's going to explode

centrists tend to believe that the far right deserves every win it gets.

“Manga”… that’s Japanese for “anime”

reena just referred to herself as "modern au me"

gender is binary because you're either cis or trans there is no third thing

crossword tournament is going well so far despite a slightly mortifying mistake (accidently leaving two squares blank for no reason) if we weren't so stupid it would be over for you bitches

gaylors if you stay in line they have to let you vote

when something in silent hill f reminds you of ryukishi's previous work you could say its ひぐらしい

no i'm with tim dolan on this one. both kirk and paul were dumb motherfuckers whose engagement with christianity was exclusively toxic and both deserved to be swept into the rubbish bin of history, their passings unmourned

i think it's important to remember that while we do not create the context in which we exist and are moulded by it we are always already in an active mode of processing it and struggling with/through it. otherwise, we are dead

i think every post i make along these lines is "if we fully subsume all decisions we make into solely being externally coerced ones and instead embrace a passivity of being we forgo the possibility of actually changing the external by active recalibration and hacking of these processes"

for those who don't know, this is what Higurashi is actually about

manosaba confirmed to be a real visual novel, they're talking about devil's proofs

ooe's decision to highlight how sharp and shrewd shinbashi is, having him play the role of the suspicious detective to oosaki's battler-like trusting detective, but only after making sure the audience understands just how much he's a a wet pathetic kitten is so smart

listen here, buddy. just because you get torn apart by wolves every night and reassembled by a vengeful god to teach you a lesson the next morning doesn't mean we all have to stop feeding the wolves when we see them. that'd be letting god win

it's often somewhat crude to make a direct comparison, but: well, you would be really suspicious of someone who ascribed the values they wished to live up to and the things they're proud of in themselves to being white, right? even if they didn't think that it was so exclusive a relation

men are encouraged to attribute what they view as virtuous or desirable within themselves or other men as belonging to "masculinity", women similarly with "femininity" (though there are of course additional pressures there). this serves to reinforce men's attachment to the category of "men"

(Guy who says "developing nations" mugging an old woman) You're a developing human now.

i'm really excited for pete's marriage to get annulled when obergefel falls and for him to immediately announce he was never actually gay and is in fact, marrying a nineteen year old girl

this is the puppy tao of good luck. repost puppy tao to have a pleasant august

finished concafejou last night and it really does feel like it was cancelled pretty suddenly, with only a few chapters of runway. it's a shame, because while the ending is /fine/, the sprint to get there has to leave a lot of stuff to the side.

okay!

i'm not fully caught up with concafejou but i'm already a little gutted that it got cancelled prematurely, it really is a very good romance manga

if the thing about harris and gaza is true (and, like, it probably isn't, right), it really highlights a profound lack of political instinct presumably, being dumb as rocks is what got her the vp nod in the first place but even so, this is embarrassing

censored again #10 - "i wouldn't say i was a feminine boy when i was young"

the funny thing about all heterosexual masculinity is its self-differentiation from what is deemed feminized inherently generates its own "masculinity crisis". so suggestion #7392 for a "healthy masculinity" is yet again paternalism with the expectation to be rewarded in women's bodies for it

being a communist, a transsexual, a feminist, &c feels like it should have inured me to people correctly identifying that something is a problem but being completely unable to propose a "solution" that isn't just "do the problem more" and yet
