can you guys please for the love of christ start checking the bio of someone who has posted a dumbass take to make sure they aren't an actual child before you decide to do sick dunks on them to your audience of thousands

#yes this is about the maus post on twitter #they were 17 #and seem to have learned an important lesson about researching before kneejerk posting #at the cost of thousands of people my own age qrting and telling them to self harm #this is what i mean when i said kids aren't allowed to make fools of themselves online anymore #if this happened on a forum of 100 users in 2005 they would just be corrected and it would be forgotten #'Well i wouldnt have made that mistake when i was 17' good for you im sure you made no mistakes ever

Me when someone on TikTok argues with my months old comment and DMS ME and I hit them with an essay about how Remarried Empress sets Rashta up for failure from the beginning and how the villainess manhwa community worships the worst of privileged men simply because he’s nice to the female lead but will easily shame and witch-hunt a female character for doing the same thing as the male character and acting appropriately to the situations she’s placed in 🧍‍♀️ for context, I had already been arguing back and forth with them for the past two days and they blamed Rashta for getting manipulated by Ergi but was calling Heinley innocent because he told Ergi to stop (the plan was originally his, and he still benefitted off of Rashta’s manipulation in the end)

#this is probably why I was an avid Jennette defender #me at 17 fighting middle aged women with children and families because they blamed and hated Jen for being naive and manipulatetable #this person’s pfp is a woman and a child #why is it always the people with families who hate ‘innocent’ and ‘naive’ child coded characters #and also baby the worst men alive #also not tagging RE because I hate that story and what it’s done to the community #me when it’s 2024 and people still use ‘Trashta’ when Rashta was literally a slave used by privileged nobles her whole life #rashta defender #wmmap #who made me a princess #wmmap jennette #syl tea #if I had a nicke each time I had a post defending Rashta in RE I’d have two nickels #which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice #idk how I managed to read so much of the RE novel #manhwa community

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

#Not Stories #mutual aid #adult literacy #'uuhhhggg its soooo disappointing when i meet a girl who's like 'yeah omg i luv 2 read'#'and then she only reads booktok trash and grocery store thrillers and manga'#'like come on thats such a turn off :/'#'like aren't you bored??? what about reading The Foundation and War & Peace and Grapes of Wrath where's THAT girl haha'#nobody gives a shit what sort of high school reading list gets your dick stiff! NOBODY!#I'm too busy dealing with the fact that most public education systems hate students of color and anyone with a learning disability #from the very bottom of my very dyslexic heart go fuck yourself #'this chick only read 8 books in twelve months lmfao thats so pathetic'#'i read eight books a MONTH some people really give up after high school'#do you think my great grandfather or his father got to fucking finish high school????#or were they busy getting fucking shot at in germany in two different fucking wars????#thank every god you wanna name that my lunatic mother stopped abusing me long enough to put me through FIVE YEARS OF TUTORING #to get ME literate because that's what it fucking took #I watched more than one kid from my underserved semi rural district drop out at 17 or 16 or 15 #because their parents needed a third paycheck or they were gonna lose the goddamn house #10% of my majority black school district graduated FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE and not an ounce of it was those kids' fault #our racist ass school district failed them and the district did NOT protect my white ass when I was diagnosed dyslexic #the adult literacy crisis is not about you getting a girlfriend who can discuss Ayn Rand with you #the adult literacy crisis is about us being exploited and neglected and made easier to control and manipulate #reading is FUCKING HARD and learning to read after the age of six is SO MUCH HARDER #so from the VERY very bottom of my VERY very dyslexic heart #FUCK. YOU.

i dont care if liking steven universe in 2024 is cringe it was a good show that was highly influential to me throughout literally the entirety of my teenage years and i continue to enjoy it to this day

#future was also good!!! future was one of the first medias i ever saw that acknowledged the less palatable aspects of childhood trauma #and made me feel like less of a horrible broken thing for having them!!!!!#17 year old me was like damn!! steven universe had vengeful thoughts about making the person who hurt him so badly suffer in return #maybe i’m not a cruel disgusting inhuman being for having these thoughts. maybe this is just another part of trauma and it’s okay #also it helps that we aged alongside each other and our birthdays are next door.#like i was semi-freshly 14 when the episode where he turned 14 aired. i was 16 when the movie aired. 17 while future aired #i Literally aged parallel to him almost the entirety of the show’s runtime #me.txt

Thank God I'm not the only one who hates when people think odesta are some "never been in a relationship innocent uwu" (I'm not saying that not being in a relationship is bad, just talking about the stereotype) and "retired playboy" 😭😭

RIGHTT like “retired playboy” is probably what they were thinking up in the CAPITOL (if they didn’t already see the propo he did about what the capitol did to him). also yeahhh there is absolutely nothing wrong with never being in a relationship, but i feel that the way this is written often gives odesta this weird power dynamic vibe?? like one where finnick is like “i’ll teach u the ropes B)” whereas i think he’d also be a lil bundle of nerves. like this man’s hand is 100% always sweaty and he’s knocking noses whenever he leans in for a kiss it’s inevitable

#beep beep #<3 #someone pointed this out in the longfic i wrote about them #and it rlly made a lightbulb go off in my head #but basically they said that the way i wrote them being intimate was silly and awkward and giggly (not in a bad way)#and that it felt rlly authentic to what being that age is like #i hadn’t rlly thought about that bc i was literally their age (17/18) during that time #but tbh yeah i think it’s easy to forget how long that giggly awkward stage drags on even when you’ve already been in a relationship #again! never being in a relationship isn’t bad but it’s not the only way to achieve that dorky nervous energy of new love #love is dorky love is giggly #sorry for going ham in the tags i’m gonna use my nerves as an excuse #odesta

TWO FULL DECADES AROUND THE SUN

#and surely another couple hundred of these to go #made a quick little something to commemorate my continued existence #i do NOT feel ready to be here #the Twenties #definitely don't feel that much more mature than i was when i was like #17 maybe #just less energy and moral integrity #on the plus side I'm less scared of fire and finally learned how to whistle #will finally stop autoplaying the Jared vine and my shot when asked about my age #shocked how little of my life i remember. i feel like i have maybe 2 hours worth of episodic memories #genuinely have zero concept of what it's supposed to be like here #firmly locked away in my Do Not Think About The Future box #could not fathom making it here for the longest time #been having a little eggsistential crisis about this if you will #some people my age are assassinating the president :/#see y'all in six years when i run for Congress #cw flashing #flashing tw #tw scopophobia #my art #my animation #tag rant #personal

Re: Crocodile as the Missing Kuja Empress-theory

I do wanna throw it out there quickly that we know Shakky retired from being a pirate and the Kuja Empress 42 years ago at the age of 22, while Hancock took the throne 13 years ago (age 18), meaning the Missing Empress' reign/era lasted for about 29 years

And while we don't know how long the Kuja might've been without a ruler between empresses (like do they have a system set where they know who will take the throne next Immidiately After the previous one steps down/dies/etc, or might they spend years without an empress until they find a new suitable ruler?)

We do know that when Shakky retired, Crocodile would've been four

So unless Crocodile became The Kuja Empress at Age 4 (or unless the Kuja were completely without an empress for almost a decade and then gave the throne to a literal child), then there's no way Crocodile could be the Missing Kuja Empress

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #For the record Gloriosa couldn't have retaken the throne temporarily either because she was exiled #She didn't return to Amazon Lily until Hancock and her sisters escaped slavery 17 years ago #When the previous Empress pardoned Gloriosa and allowed her to return to Amazon Lily #The point is that the timeline really doesn't match for Crocodile to be the Missing Empress UNLESS he became the empress as a CHILD #Which. Technically plausible since we don't know how the Kuja choose their empresses etc but still I doubt it #(Or they really were without a proper ruler for like 14 years while waiting for the next empress in line to come of age??)#This post was spawned by me wondering if Croc could be Shakky and Reyleigh's kid. Like I almost made a post about it #(Just for one hell of a combo of fan theories (Kuja Empress + Crocodad + ''Reyleigh is Luffy's uncle''))#But then I realized how old Shakky and Reyleigh would've been when Shakky got pregnant and NOPE #So I canceled that post. It is not leaving my drafts. Shit's too cursed.#Almost a shame because I almost feel like I could've been onto something there but. No thank you. I'd rather not
