"I knew I didn't want to stay in academia because I want to do something useful" wish I could say the same. Unfortunately I do not sincerely enough want to do something useful. Maybe I want to want to do something useful. Probably most accurately I want to want to want to do something useful.

Auditory processing issues suck SO HARD. I just spent about 1.5 hours watching the first half hour of a movie on YouTube, because I had so much trouble understanding the dialogue that I kept constantly having to go back and listen again and again and again, look up a transcript of the full film (the transcript contained mistakes, so it wasn't much help), compare and contrast various subtitle files available online, even cup my hands around my ears, etc. Just to figure out what the characters were saying to each other.

And it's not just literally understanding what words they say to each other, oh no. That's only the first step. The next step is figuring out what those characters MEAN when they say certain words. Like when a dude says "You know, I see, like, if we can get successful, it's, like, L-L, man… limos and Learjets," I feel like I'm having a stroke. I have to hit pause and sit there for a sec and ask myself a bunch of questions and do some research online.

Why did he say L-L? Why did he randomly say the initials of the two things he wants? Also, why does he specifically say 'Learjet'? When people dream of having a private jet, don't they normally say 'private jet'? I'd never heard the word Learjet before, so I had to go look it up to try to get more context, but that didn't really help. Is this a music biz reference I don't know? Is this a Canadian reference I don't know? If this happened once or twice during a movie, it would be no problem, but when I'm stopping and going back literally every two minutes, it takes for-fucking-ever to get through the film and my brain is So! Fucking! Exhausted!

I had to stop at about the half-hour mark. I felt like I was about to cry from frustration, so I quit for the night. I'll return to it in a day or two, when I've got a bit more mental energy, and try to work my way through the rest. If I can get through half an hour of film time per day (in an hour or so, however long it takes to get through that much), I can finish the movie in three days of watching. (And this is a movie I really, really WANT to see. I wouldn't waste a moment of my time struggling through it if I didn't care this much about it.)

Anyway. Sometimes when people say they "don't watch movies much", it doesn't necessarily mean they're being elitist snobs or whatever. Sometimes it's just so fucking challenging and exhausting to watch a movie that it leaves me feeling angry at my own body for being a dysfunctional piece of crap. I don't know if this counts as a "disability" and I'm not claiming that label because I don't want to step on any toes, but I have to admit that the mere prospect of watching a film often fills me with dread because it can be so intensely difficult for me (unless I just mentally check out and give up on understanding it completely, which is what I typically do when I'm watching with other people).

for the past couple years ive been slowly. slowly learning beginners japanese and its very fun and im enjoying it a lot but also it has made me painfully aware in ways i wasnt before of how much my specific vaguely ontario accent makes me make out sloppy style with my vowels. i am going at those vowel's tonsils. i am doing things to diphthongs you wouldnt even believe.

[arolesbianism]

i finally finished watching tua and i can proudly say that i'm one of the few people who guessed they'd set lila and five up right from season 3.

Is it polite fandom behavior to tell someone when they've "idk what he's saying but he sounds so sexy"d on an interview clip about diarrhea or no

somebody left me an annoying reply which i hv blocked cuz i dont need that but i will not ignore bc yes actually i do mean it when i say narumayo is misogynistic (more specifically heteronormative but that is often a facet of misogyny such as in this context) like no i dont just dislike narumayo cuz it 'rubs me the wrong way' 🙄 narumayo perpetuates harmful sexist ideologies bc there is nothing romantic about a 26+ year old employed adult man being romantically involved with a high-school aged girl who he's 7 years older than, the age gap and power imbalance of such a relationship creates circumstances that are ripe for abuse, specifically towards the younger girl who is disenfranchised by such a scenario, and idealizing such a thing even in fiction helps to normalize these harmful ideas in the real world. Narumayo Is Misogynistic. for the love of god do not say stupid shit on my blog 🤦
