Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Purpurina: Your words “you will know because it will consume” are floating back to me today like 2 hours 45 minutes into a Bollywood movie when someone is remembering something from the first half of the movie

There is a lot that plenty of people get wrong about Battle Royale. It is easy to highlight how cool or funny it is but this is also an intensely angry film where deep seeded pain can't help but boil over.
It hit hard in the early 2000s but it hits like a fucking truck now.

BATTLE ROYALE to life essentially invented a new subgenre of dystopian teen cinema. Let's explore generational division, government-sanctioned violence, the disposability of youth, and that Hunger Games connection.
