Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

it is both interpersonally valuable and politically necessary to decouple transfeminine beauty from thinness, and to investigate the roots of these sentiments and what larger phenomena animate them.

From catgirl Izutsumi's chapter in the Adventurer's Guide for Dungon Meshi:
Laois doesn't clock that what's acceptable to do with a cat isn't acceptable to do with a teenage girl, so Chilchuck, father of daughters, accepts that he must suffer if he doesn't want anything else Weird going on.

fun fact: Boston Museum of Science calls their evening lecture series “SubSpace”, which would be a totally innocuous math term except for the fact that, to make sure you know these lectures are higher-level and not aimed at their usual audience (kids), they chose to subtitle it “SubSpace: Adult Experiences”

Made friends with the old lady in the waiting room, both of us waiting for ultrasounds. She went in first. When she walked out and then made eye contact with me down the hall. She gave me a thumbs up, and a smile I could see even through her black KN95 mask. Good luck! She clearly was saying. Bye!
Then her brow furrowed and she pointed at the technician behind her back, and gave me a HUGE thumb’s down. … then pointed again and gave a bigger, more exaggerated thumbs down. pray for my coochie y’all

Something I noticed in the Dungeon Meshi anime that passed me by in the manga is how Marcille's instructions to Laios in using magic are exactly what you'd expect from someone who has been studying it academically for god knows how long.
Her preparations for teaching him were coming up with/remembering the speech about feeling the mana flowing through your body, and picking out the right spell. But she glossed over the things that wouldn't concern someone who is extremely experienced in healing magic:

How awkward it is to lay hands on someone in order to cast a healing spell
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
MANA SICKNESS, which apparently happens to everyone when they first cast a spell
And it's not like she completely forgot that they're a thing, but it wasn't part of what she was planning on teaching, because everyone already knows that, right? So Marcille just brushes past it, like "oh yeah duh, that's a thing, anyway-".
I love it, perfectly in-character. She's an academic!

I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you don’t “get” an actor or a musician. There’s nothing morally wrong with your girl’s fuckass boyfriend he’s literally just annoying and you’re annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know he’ll be history in six months. It’s fine. You don’t need to justify your dislike.
