Man I feel like a lot of leftist activists would do a lot better to just use common fucking language to talk about things rather than dense academic shit that's only understandable to people with PhDs and people who spend 95% of their waking life on Leftist Twitter lmao

Like, you're talking with other academics? Great, use academic language. You're a social media account trying to interact with the general public? Don't say "decarcerate", say "find alternatives to imprisonment". Don't say "collective liberation", say "freedom for all". By GOD don't say "bodymind autonomy", say "the ability to have control over our own minds and bodies".

Yes it takes a little more effort to explain shit in common language but I promise you people will stop looking at you like you have two heads and dismissing everything you say as Woke Bullshit if you like, actually get on their level, goddamn it. Not everyone has the privilege to have a graduate-school level understanding of this type of language or spend so much time reading leftist theory that they can perfectly understand this stuff.

#being a public health student has made me even more passionate about this too #like. You want to make a change? You have to make sure the general public UNDERSTANDS WTF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRST #Like for example I think Project LETS is a great concept and is doing great stuff #But my god their public outreach needs some MAJOR work #By using this type of language you are isolating the type of ppl who can benefit from your services to 'college educated Twitter leftists' #Social justice is a MAJOR INTEREST OF MINE and even I struggle with making sense of some of the shit y'all say!! #Like I have to translate it in my head to normal speak #And like. These types of spaces constantly talk about accessibility for disabled people? Bullshit man #What about those with intellectual disabilities or cognitive impairments who struggle with this shit? #What about people who are just learning English? What about people who work full time and don't have the time to learn this terminology? #Goddamn #It's all performative!!!!

An alt design (redesign?) for my demon slayer oc, koharu

Wanted to incorporate the little clouds inside the cape for more coherence with the other two Ebisu siblings, and figured that since they’re the main “researcher” of the family, and the one with the least physical strength to offer, their design should lean slightly more into academia with the cape and the hat! Was thinking of making it a tonbi (overcoat with shoulder-cape down to sleeve length and inner jacket) but I think the single long cape makes the design overall easier to read :)

#kimetsu no yaiba #kny oc #demon slayer oc #I am. in love with the outfits of the meiji to showa eras #i honestly can’t say much because I’m not Japanese and all I know is from rudimentary amounts of research on the internet but #I really enjoy the way capes and hats from western designs combined with more traditional looking clothes like kimono looks #I think koharu would wear the cap and cape in cities and surrounding areas where it’s more common to see a student around #whereas the haori is saved for mostly rural missions where looking like a student is impractical #the cape has the added benefit of making it very easy to hide their sword in broad daylight #they don’t put it through the belt because the way that the sword tilts forward is pretty obvious and could get them arrested #so the string on the belt loops lets it dangle more vertically to follow the legs more and be inconspicuous

yall know i love my ronance content but a part of me is also really happy for nancy for finally having a platonic girl friend her age. i imagine ever since barb, shes had a lot of walls she had to put up, and maybe robin practically tearing it down and letting herself in is just what she needed and wanted, so nancy just.. let her. idk im looking forward to more of them in the next season. nancy deserves that

#byler #mike 🤝 nancy benefitting from having more women in their lives #also again tagging byler bc yall get it #byler tumblr #nancy #nancy wheeler #i mean think about it her only company was her two boyfriends her dad then her brother and a kind of neglectful mom #she must feel relieved to be able to confide in her. #hell i could even argue that its because of this fact alone that she wasnt jealous abt steve at all #she just didnt know how to take another friend again #we forget that nancy wasnt actually popular since steve. it was just her and barb and was basically like mike in a way shes smart #and kind of nerdy and potentially lonely with a very small circle. straight A student #so yeah i think she deserves this #and it must mean a lot to finally have someone who is a girl be her friend again #considering she always felt strongly against the patriarchy and how women are treated in general #so yeah it must be a treat to not be surrounded by men for once

Republican Boomers: Life’s not fair, get used to it!!

*Student Loan Forgiveness is introduced*

The same Boomers: Hey, that’s not fair!!

#student loans #student loan forgiveness #boomers #i think they fail to mention how much less money they paid for their school #am I willing to pay a little more stuff to help people out? #of fucking course I am!! #i fucking have student loans too but mine are private so I really won’t benefit from the plan #but that doesn’t mean millions of other people are struggling too #both of my folks only went for two years #i know you didn’t pay nearly what others are paying now #I know I’ll get hate for this post but whatever lmao #be mad about it 😂

can you imagine being a hardworking thirty-something bouncing ball corp employee in like idk sales or some shit who spent YEARS before that trying to climb the corporate ladder and succumbing to the 9-5 workhorse race that makes you dead inside but now your boss is a college kid who shows up to important company meetings in sweats and brings his homework to the office so he can get it done on time and haphazardly stuffs paperwork and legal documents into the same binders as his lecture notes and doesn’t give a shit if you don’t properly file for time off bc he can barely be assed to email his professors the same and will still PAY you for it????? can you imagine???? i can’t but it’d be REALLY fucking funnny

#GIVE ME CHAOTIC COLLEGE STUDENT AND BOSS KENMA OR GIVE ME DEATH #kenma is both simultaneously the best and worst boss of all time #bc he treats his employees well and he’s got good benefits and pretty much everything else you could ask for #BUT he also gives his secretary and department managers constant aneurysms #bc he haaaaaates dealingn with formalities #and if they’re meeting with someone he doesn’t like he WILL be a rude little punk about it #and they’re scrambling to do damage control #do NOT tell me kenma is professional he will tell the ceo of a company 10x bigger than them to fuck off and come out victorious #kozuke kenma #haikyuu #haikyuu!! #haikyuu hcs #sou says stuff

[ID: Two panels from Dungeon Meshi. The first scows Senshi clutching his face as tears start to spill out of his eyes, saying, "I've always... always wanted to have this soup one more time." He's not wearing his helmet in this panel, so his face is unusually visible, detailed and vulnerable. The second panel shows himself as a youngster, surrounded by his old mining team, all smiling at each other, one of them rubbing Senshi's head. Modern-day Senshi continues, "Thank you. All of you. Thank you." End ID.]

Holy shit. I anticipated some tragic backstory from the "I must feed the young ones" panels, but what I'd guessed was that Senshi might have become so devoted to cooking and eating literally whatever because he'd previously survived a famine and had seen children starve to death. I did not expect him to have been the child who was the sole survivor of a doomed travel party, one of whom was determined to feed Senshi first because he was the youngest, and that Senshi has lived with the fear of having inadvertently committed cannibalism by eating stew that he'd never quite known the contents of. I'm happy for him that Laios deduced and confirmed for him that it was griffin meat, that he was able to taste the meal that saved his life once more and remember the friends he lost. Seriously, I'm crying, and also earnestly relieved that while his backstory is pretty dark, it's not the type of fucked up I'd been preparing myself mentally for.

#Dungeon Meshi #Delicious in Dungeon #Dunmeshi #though it IS really worth exploring the ethics of cannibalism in survival situations #The podcast You're Wrong About has a really interesting pairing of episodes #in the Donner Party and Flight 571 Crash episodes #Both about disasters in which people wound up eating their dead to survive #and an interesting connection they drew was that it wasn't the cannibalism itself #that destroyed the lives of the Donner survivors #it was the horror and disgust and societal rejection they got for having eaten human flesh #even the children who had no idea what they were eating were treated with revulsion #and this is clearly the response Senshi feared facing if anybody knew what he'd eaten #But Flight 571 like a century later #the survivors were faced with a lot of understanding when rescued #relatively little condemnation and revulsion #by and large commentators acknowledged that they did what they had to do #and sympathized with how difficult and painful it must have been #which is what Senshi gets from his party #Laios wants to figure out the truth because he knows it's hurting Senshi not to know #But at one point Marcille straight up says that none of them would think less of Senshi if he did eat dwarf stew #Okay so this is Marcille 'ardent student of blood magic' Donato #but Chilchuck agrees #anyway I think that would be a particularly interesting conversation to have in a cooking manga #how do you safely eat a dead friend when that's all you have to survive on? #what are the nutritional benefits other than 'better than starving'? #what are the risks? There's prion diseases and all sorts you can get #they write it off as eating the dragon part but they DO spend seven days eating Falin at the end #ARE there any in/famous cannibalism cases in this world? #Do peopel argue about whether or not it's cannibalism if a dwarf eats a tallman? #enquiring minds (mine) want to know

In regards to Tori doing fuuinjutsu with like five thousand extra steps, is there anything that her sealing style actually benefits from her way? Is she imbuing the technique with some unknown stability or is this a language barrier thing? Is her alien way of doing this scary to people? WHEN WILL WE SEE MINAKUSHI REACTING TO YOGURT FUUINJUTSU

tori tends to overdesign because the FIRST time around when she was learning, she couldn't manipulate her own chakra. this gets talked about a little in the castle chapter -- the more discrete pieces you put into a seal, the more chakra you lose as it moves through the seal. so most of the bigger and more complicated seals usually require the user to do some manipulating themselves of the chakra within the seal, to minimize that loss (that or you need to be a chakra powerhouse or get multiple people to input chakra). tori can't do that in plasticity, and also she's designing stuff for non-experts to use, so she compensates by a mixture of getting really, REALLY good at techniques to conserve input chakra, and then by hijacking other sources of chakra (like from yogurt. or from the poor idiot she's tattooing a seal onto).

unfortunately sometimes she also ends up just adding things to compensate for weakness as she goes instead of stepping back and trying to actually fix the base design, like sticking absurd amounts of tape on something. like, this part of the seal leaks chakra and i don't know why? i'll just make a NEW thing to funnel the chakra back in. it technically works but now she's made something that so complicated and weird that reproducing it will be challenging

so the benefits are that, for most of tori's seals, you can just slam chakra into them and the seal will do literally all the work, even for really big seals. you don't have to squat over it concentrating hard manipulating your own chakra. her brushwork looks like irreproducible nightmare fuel but actually she has an incredibly good understanding of chakra use efficiency and how to manipulate it without losing anything. but also. what the fuck is going on here

kushina is of the mindset "well, if it works, it works" so she'll tease tori but not actually give much feedback besides "that is going to be SUCH a pain to make again, you know." but i think minato is the type of person who is like "okay, it's good that works, but we can always be improving and streamlining--" so seeing something with like fifty extra brush strokes makes his brain go AAAAAH. if tori was interested in defending her work, she'd point out that her way has its own benefits (more prep but easier and faster to execute, she could pass it on to chump chunin number 2, etc), and i think minato could be swayed even if looking at the seal gives him anxiety. but tori's deeply paranoid and distrustful of authority when she initially gets to konoha, so that type of conversation takes a while to happen

also hijacking non-human chakra is REALLY groundbreaking, but she is being forced to do some reinventing of the wheel, so to speak, and the intermediate steps on this line of research & design look...... bonkers. really, aggressively bonkers

#reborn au #i think tori downplays wtf she's doing for a while bc the key to her survival for YEARS has always been only being juuust useful #enough to keep around. if you play all your cards up front people WILL fuck you over #you have to keep all your aces up your sleeve so that when they get bored with you you can go WELL ACTUALLY-- #and it takes her a while to trust minakushi #but in general once she gets them to think of her more as a peer than a chaos gremlin student there's a lot of mutual benefit

teachers are always like let’s work on your essays in class. let’s write your introduction today. let’s practice thesis development and quotation. let’s exchange work. what about you let me bang out a masterpiece two days before it’s due in one sitting what if we tried that

#shitpost #disclaimer: I recognize the benefit and importance of making sure all students know what they should do #and that support is useful! and providing structure is helpful! #however! not for me!! I have different styles and approaches that work for me #and all this does is take up time I could’ve used doing that #so I feel like complaining a little

You know what I find frustrating with Shen Jiu fans sometimes ? Just because he had reasons and maybe didn't do other things he was accused of, it feels like that either justify his behavior towards Binghe and/meant it wasn't that bad when he was so abusive ?

Shen Yuan discovers that he had reasons and a tragic backstory and never once does he try to justify his abuse, he is very much "cool backstory still hurting a child who did nothing wrong" and he has so much of this that he makes the choice for Binghe and assumes he wouldn't forgive him either for that and the abyss (when it's not his choice to make).

I wouldn’t mind people discussing the complexity of Shen Jiu if it did not come paired with the need to absolve him of his shitty personality. Shen Jiu is a serial abuser who did 100% of the things he was accused of with only some of those things having a secret intent that others didn’t know about. He does go to brothels but people just didn’t know why, he is antagonistic and physically violent towards Liu Qingge because of an imagined slight, and he has abused multiple children outside of Luo Binghe out of jealousy, so much so that many left the sect before Luo Binghe became the newest target. People trying to excuse his worst behavior because a few of his lesser actions had not-bad motivations is nonsensical, since the reason why people won’t side with him to begin with is because of his toxic personality.

A great example of just how much Shen Jiu made his own bed is the Water Prison arc. Shen Jiu gets thrown into the water prison with no defenders (yqy defends him but not his actions) because with how maliciously he treated people, no one doubted that he would act maliciously in any situation. Shen Yuan, in the same situation accused of the same crimes, gets defended almost to the point of violence breaking out, making it so that he had to willingly relinquish himself to avoid a fight, because with how kindly he acted towards everyone, no one could believe that he’d either 1) kill an entire household or 2) do so without a good reason. Neither man chooses to justify their actions or deny the accusations in the face of the scrutiny, but one is immediately condemned while the other is given the benefit of the doubt. What a massive difference.

#anon #svsss asks #ok sj didn’t mean to kill lqg but the only reason people think he did #was because HE set their relationship up to be enemies #when lqg would have been his friend otherwise #sj was a child abuser so idk why anyone would give him benefit of the doubt #in relation to female students or brothel workers #dude was caustic to EVERYONE he met #why would anyone defend him? #it’s like someone telling you that the worst bully on the block #actually had some sad home life as a child #like ok? cool but that childhood was 20 years ago and they’re assaulting someone RIGHT NOW #wtf that gotta do with me? #also love when it is accurately pointed out that sy does NOT condone sj’s behavior #he feels sympathy for the child sj once was but NOT for the man he became #fic writers should take note

Not to be an Orochimaru apologist but the demonization of Orochimaru by the narrative/Konoha is just a way for them to erase the fact that Orochimaru was a victim of the state. Yes he experimented on children, but it never was bc he had “darkness in him even as a child” or bc he was a “born psychopath” or whatever other ableist bs. Orochimaru is a product of Konoha’s cruel war machine. They sent his parents to their deaths, left him an orphan with no psychological support, used him as a child soldier, sent him to war where he witnessed countless atrocities that shaped him to become the cruel, apathetic man we know now. He then had to watch his friend Tsunade mourn the deaths of her 12 YEARS OLD brother and her boyfriend. His disgust and fear of death literally come from the second handed trauma of seeing Tsunade cry over the mutilated body of her baby brother. It’s canon. Is he a cruel megalomaniac who grooms and tortures children? yes. Is he responsible for his actions? yes. But Konoha is responsible as well. They made him a monster, then they turned around and acted like he just woke up one day as a creepy crazy snake man, when it’s literally the result of decades of severe trauma and brainwashing. 

How do you expect a mentally unstable child thrown in a battlefield to react? Did they think he was going to grow up to be a nanny? He was taught to torture and kill. Why are they so upset about it? They have a Torture Department that operates in BROAD DAYLIGHT in Konoha. A good chunk of the beloved Yamanaka clan works there. Danzo kidnapped, groomed, brainwashed and experimented on countless children, but bc it’s for the village, it’s okay. Orochimaru is only evil because he hurts people for his OWN gain. That’s why they’re now fine with him in Boruto even though he still experiments on people. Now it benefits Konoha, so the fake morals they dredged up against him previously just vanish.

#orochimaru #anti konoha #anti hiruzen #orochimaru should've stayed a villain #he cannot be redeemed but them acting like its only bc his experiments didnt benefit the village irks me #dude had every right to want to destroy konoha lmao #where's that post where someone says that they shouldve maybe questionned why a founder of the village the student of a hokage and like #two other konoha shinobi wanted to destroy konoha so badly #its a hellhole #i like that orochimaru is almost completly apathetic and doesnt whine abt his backstory #but i wish the fandom at least still acknowledged that he became like that bc of konoha #not 'psychopathy' or whatever #honestly his character was ruined in shippuden #i miss part 1 orochimaru lmao #also wouldve loved a real fight between him and tsunade #but not bc tsunade wants to protect konoha or whatever i want her to beat him up to save the kids #i hate that the emphasis is on poor little konoha and not the children he tortured #anyway this has become an essay oof #naruto meta
