"...it always annoys me when there's some, like, viral tweet or something that's like, 'women apologize too much in emails and they should all write emails like men do, where they're, like, really abrupt,' and my response to that is always, A) I like being nice, and I don't think it's entirely a bad thing just because women do it more often, and B) if women are inclined to be overly-apologetic or self-effacing in communications with men generally, and maybe especially in workplace communications, it is because we have been paying attention and we have learned that (...) sometimes the best way to get [a male coworker] to listen to your idea is to make him think it was his idea. If we're acting in a way that reflects the fact that we know that, then, like, that's not ultimately our fault."

listening to the You're Wrong About podcast's episodes about the O.J. Simpson trial is something that can be so personal

"And I'm sure there's an extent to which we are hiding the bigger scary thing, which is like scary not in a little kids telling ghost stories kind of a way. So much as its not promising you that your humanity is going to snap and it'll be gone; it's telling you that the capacity of your human experience is more vast than you'll probably ever get to feel even most of in the time you have to be alive."

"It's like eating meat: I'd like to believe that this was ethically produced. But like, let's be honest." -Sarah Marshall from You're Wrong About on porn

You're Wrong About did a very good basic breakdown of Stonewall, and my favorite part was how much they emphasized the place and importance of trans and gender non conforming folks in that era, in that space, and on that day. And how important these same people were for the community as a whole for decades.
I also like that they very, very gently push back on the day's place as The One Big Moment when there are so many other moments that made the movement. I like that they talked about how putting so much pressure on one event encourages people to put less legitimacy on other moments and people who actually do also deserve that closer look and respect.

"I think that we have this dangerous tendency to look at behaviors that we don't like and prohibit or punish them. Wouldn't it be exciting if we were to look at the ways people behave in that are harmful to themselves and/or others and be like, 'I believe that this behavior is not a conscious and well thought-out choice, I think that you are doing your best, and your best could be better if we gave you more resources to work with and if we shaped our laws around the question of what it would take for you to flourish as a human being'."

[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

Put on your Docksiders for a stroll through history with Avery Trufelman, who shows us how Ivy style became “preppy,” and how preppy fashion escaped the campus and took over the world. We’re talking about clothing, class, race, and the American dream: you may be through with the polo shirt, but the polo shirt isn’t through with you. Here's where to find Avery: Articles of Interest on Substack Articles of Interest podcast

i don't know how to fully articulate this but it makes me a little sad every time a video essayist or podcaster just Assumes their audience has Obviously Heard About X and doesn't bother to explain who or what that is... like of course not everything's gotta cater To Me but like let's assume i DO live under a rock (or rather: i'm autistic and european) and have never heard of this musician and have no idea what place they hold in popular media. ok thank you please continue with your essay
