Going off that one poll, I'd like to test a theory.

More reblogs = bigger sample size.

Also, I think follow up polls would be a good idea but tbh i might need input from actual disabled people for those ^^"

#I'm not disabled myself but I am trans #and while it feels like the previous poll was trying to see if cis and trans people picked different options #I suspect the demarcation is elsewhere #Disability #Transgender #Matt makes polls

The reason nobody can agree where the boundary between "visual novel" and "adventure game" lies is because the term "adventure game" originated in the American gaming industry and was later loaned into Japanese, while the term "visual novel" originated in the Japanese gaming industry and was later loaned into English, but the meanings shifted in both cases, so the American gaming industry uses "visual novel" to mean something different from what it means in Japan and the Japanese gaming industry uses "adventure game" to mean something different from what it means in America, and now we've got two terms with (at least) four separate definitions between them, but nerds on the Internet who don't understand how loan-words work keep trying to directly compare them without taking into account that there are multiple only partially compatible cultural idioms in play.

“Effective Jan. 2, Brazil’s President Lula issued six decrees revoking or altering anti-environment-and-Indigenous measures from his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, acts highly celebrated by environmentalists and activists.

One of the decrees annuls mining in Indigenous lands and protected areas, another resumes plans to combat deforestation in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes, and a third reinstates the Amazon Fund, a pool of funding provided to Brazil by developed nations to finance a variety of programs aimed at halting deforestation. [The fund] was stalled under Bolsonaro.

Right afterward, Norway announced the immediate release of already available funding for new projects as “President Lula confirmed his ambitions to reduce deforestation and reinstated the governance structure of the Amazon Fund.”

In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula also created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, complying with his promise to native people who supported his candidacy “to combat 500 years of inequality.”’

[Legal advisor Mauricio] Guetta noted that the newly resumed plans to fight deforestation will revive efforts that slashed deforestation rates by 83% between 2004 and 2012 and “social participation will again serve as a guide for the application of public policies.” According to him, changes during Bolsonaro’s administration regarding environmental sanctioning led the number of trials in the environmental agency to drop from an average of 5,300 per year between 2014 and 2018 to only 113 in 2019 and a mere 17 in 2020. “With the improvements made by the new rules of the current administration, these threats have been solved and the regular processing of proceedings on notices of infraction, an important mechanism to discourage the undertaking of environmental crimes, has been reestablished.”

He said he expected new “revocations” and normative revisions to occur in the coming days “considering the depth of abyss” of the last four years under Bolsonaro...

Unprecedented Ministry of Indigenous Peoples

In an unprecedented act in Brazil’s history, Lula also created the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, complying with his promise to Native people who supported his candidacy.

“No one knows our forests better or is better able to defend them than those who have been here since immemorial time. Each demarcated land is a new area of environmental protection,” Lula said in the National Congress. “We will repeal all injustices committed against the Indigenous peoples.”” -via Mongabay, 1/4/23

When ppl talk about how fucked up Sam was during the Jack s13 arc and how he enabled Dean's abuse and put Jack in danger: yess ha ha yessss

When ppl do so without acknowledging that Sam and Jack are fellow victims: ....... wtf...

#the demarcated line between enabler and victim you would like to be there does not exist! sam is both! #he failed jack. his own experience of abuse made it impossible for him to not fail jack #thats why the tragedy is delicious babes #theyre literally stuck in the cycle :) #sam #spn #ash.txt

Even the people he hasn't seen for a while!! Wehhh <3 <3 <3 #You soft heart ;; I see you Admiral ♥ #Also had a lot of fun writing in VUK ZIX again hehe ♪ #The translations from VUK ZIX to English aren't exact - for starters they're upside down haha #So if you started from the top down it would actually read KINLEZ NATPAK but I figured that wouldn't be as readable #You read from the bottom up! I also still headcanon it being written/read from left to right #So he started with Zelnick then Fwiffo then Tanaka and so on #Although I did change it up for the second one - Teisel then Xelloss then Xigbar then Asch and Van #The more I think of it the more I'm surprised there's no H :0 #Even just as a demarcation of a pause before during or after a syllable #The ''sh'' sound makes complete sense tho hehe <3 #Any incorrect shaping of letters/poor handwriting on my part can totally be chalked up to ZEX not being used to human hands! #Totallyyy lol #I really like the way specific syllables are shaped - like how Teisel and Zelnick almost share the same shaped between ''SEL'' and ''ZEL'' #How Z is a more connected extension of S just agh it's so pretty <3 <3 Eco_Mono really did such a lovely job with it ♪ #And then certain ''incorrectly'' spelled syllables still turned out so pretty!

whenever I do something that isn't on my to-do list, I add it to the list afterwards just so I can cross it off. I did do something, after all. the timing of the writing of the list doesn't make a difference.

I never set up "serious" new year's resolutions, but I did some things in the past 12 months that would fit the bill if I had ✔️

regular achievable plans (what if we learned a language simply because we wanted to get better at cataloguing different versions of johnny has gone for a soldier/siúil a rún...)

#news from the cupola #ballads and things #OKAY SO my normal first place to do lyrics look-up is mainlynorfolk which lists four versions #the version I've listened to the most for the johnny version is mark o'connor's which doesn't Have the chorus as a sung part #and most with the sung chorus either have it as siúil a grá or siúil a rún (transliteration variable) even when the rest of the song's #in english! something by which I'm Fascinated. #now the OTHER thing that's perplexing is that mainlynorfolk lists a john tams version of johnny with the siúil a grá chorus #but the only place I can track down a recording of mr tams singing this is Inside A Sharpe Episode #and what's also mysterious to me here is that the mainlynorfolk version lists a chorus and verse that doesn't Happen in the sharpe version #quick scan of another version (pete seeger) which isn't listed in the four variations I looked at earlier Also doesn't have those verses #WAITAMINUTE HEY I'm a fool it's in the STRANGE SOUNDTRACK CD #...and with a bit more looking I'VE FOUND IT AND IT'S GOT THE EXTRA VERSES IN IT #anyway back to the original point of this post which is that I realized that I've memorized about half of siúil a rún phonetically #and I should learn the proper demarcations of sound in the words so I can sing it more nicely and without my usual stumblemumble #altho' I'm also tempted to learn the weird john tams version except I know I'll be tempted to put a slant rhyme somewhere he doesn't

La ligne de démarcation, un pays coupé en deux (1940-1943)

Je suis à la recherche de ce documentaire, rediffusé dimanche dernier sur France 5. Je n'ai pas pu le voir en entier et il n'est pas sur France.tv. Si quelqu'un a des tuyaux, je suis preneuse.
