Shout-out to that moment most of us have had when we realized society had a fetish for devaluing things women and girls are into simply because women and girls are into them ( o_o)-b
Double shout-out to all that work we were then obligated to do from there on out, interrogating ourselves every five seconds

"Wait, do I LEGIT just not care for this, or am I sneering because women/girls like it?"
TRIPLE shout-out to the moment all this self-examination suddenly morphed into contempt and annoyance at the praise we received for enjoying traditionally unfeminine/masculine things!

Yay! Prejudice is exhausting!

Louisiana makes no sense. Despite being a busy commercial and industrial hub packed to the brim with extensively-exploited natural resources, it's one of the poorest states in America, with the lowest quality of life indicators.

Here's a vid on why.
In a phrase? Industrial tax exemptions. Between 66% & 99%(!) of the properties owned by companies like Exxon & Dow in LA aren't taxed at all. Exemption requests, decided at the state level, are passed 99% of the time. There hasn't been a policy review of the process in +80 YEARS.
Louisiana is losing hundreds of millions, possibly more, in tax dollars every year to these exemptions. And as a result, when judged by factors like healthcare, infrastructure, educational opportunities and crime prevalence, LA comes DEAD LAST at 50. usnews.com/news/best-stat…

Oh god they're honestly all so interchangeable. But some common threads?

- No loss or death is their fault. It's a glitch, lag, or a stream sniper. Those are the only options.
- Everyone is their chat is an idiot and needs to shut up.
- Zero casual conversation. 100% sulking.
Some people have natural, easy charisma, and some people learn to be charismatic.

And some people just silently glower into their webcam for six hours when they're not playing with their phone or Yellin' At Vidya Gamez.
That Dad Mode streamer I liked from yesterday is on vacation, and I am feeling the loss.

More #Fallout4, and the construction of The Sanctuary Museum of Pre-War America.

Made a "children's toys" display case, and a "sports and leisure" display. Fishing rod won't fit in the latter, sadly.
As I mentioned before, the Vault-Tec rep is in Sanctuary and assigned to work the cafe, so the restaurant on the second floor is completely functional! Every evening after work, the residents congregate up here to eat and socialize. I need to finish the building & add furniture.
I also made the rep his own house; an old bus behind the museum. Unlike most of the settlement's living quarters, he has it all to himself, cuz again, Dude Needed A Win.

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

Wow. I'm blown away by the response! I want to echo the point that has been made about how long somebody has played being irrelevant, whether its 20 years, 10 years, or 5 months. I've played with many women and girls over the years and have loved having them at my table!

I really don't understand the push back. I don't understand the comments I see about girls not being "real nerds" or only playing bc their boyfriend plays or they want cosplay likes or whatever. It's all nonsense. Is it so hard to believe that girls play because they WANT to? smh

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
