Okay, poll time. How many languages do you have a smattering of? This includes everything from fluency all the way down to knowing just a word or two.

(Proper nouns and adopted words don’t count.)

there truly couldn't have been a more fitting end for the villies than grian getting overexcited and jumping gem like a rabid dog to snatch the win before realizing they weren't actually the final two. gem said the villains always lose and he turned it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. funniest thing i've ever seen i miss them already

All who live in EU please read this article!

The European Union is going against online privacy by trying to pass a bill in october where AI will monitor all your texts before sending them! Even encrypted ones! If you don’t have the time to read it fully at least read the basic explanation and the what to do part. Our privacy depends on it!

the word empathy is WIDELY misused, even in mental health spaces. 

empathy:

is responding to a person’s emotions by experiencing the same emotion as them (i.e. feeling sad when something sad happens to that person, or happy when something happy happens to that person.)

is an automatic response that cannot be controlled

cannot be learned

sympathy:

is recognizing that another person is in pain, even if you do not experience that pain, and offering comfort to that person

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

compassion:

is showcasing care and support via words and actions

is something a person must actively choose to do

can be learned

if you need an example of a person with no empathy who practices sympathy and compassion, look no further than data from star trek: the next generation. he doesn’t have emotions at all, but he’s still kind to people and wants to help them.

stop telling people that they’re evil because they don’t experience empathy. stop equating empathy with morality. stop equating empathy with caring. stop saying that cruel people “lack empathy.” stop throwing neurodivergent and mentally ill people under the bus.

Tangentially related to the last rb but it is weird to me when people act like mixed race people just didn't Happen historically. Cause like, yeah the world used to be Less connected than it is now so certain combinations could be unlikely depending on specific times and locations, there were anti miscegenation laws, etc etc, but. The thing about people is that they have boats and it's notoriously difficult to stop them from having sex with each other. Also the pillaging but I assure you it could be consensual, even
