How i feel about the current event, featuring quadruped feesh
I haven't even reached the second half of the story. Or the rooms. And already I'm like this. i'mnot gonna make it
#divergent dream#me in my sleep deprived state slowly losing control of the stylus as my drawings get bigger and bigger#because i'm thinking about eiden#i haven't even reached the Sad Bits yet#i KNOW they're there. i KNOW they're incoming#they're lurking around every corner. they're definitely in the intimacy rooms too#and i've only read the first half of the story#which is relatively light and fluffy and plot setup#ughuuguhhgg#when the second half drops#...it IS gonna be second half right? not like. the 2/3. and there will be a THIRD part that will drop in a week???#uhhh if this is only 1/3 of the event then i am#colloquially. as they would say#cooked

Now I need to see puppy Dazai. If only so Chuuya could be like “who’s the dog now, huh?” Possibly while puppy Dazai is trying to lick his face
Tiny Dazai Osamu - Collector's Edition!
Puppy dog in need of a forever home. His breed is brown with droopy ears. He's fluffy. Picked up on the side of the road.
#i don't know if it's true too in english or not but in french we colloquially call mixed breeds 'bâtards' (literally bastards)#he is dog. what breed? dog breed. he's brown. he's a little bastard. we love him so much. please take care of him.#(personally i would say he's got some cocker in there. floofy ears + beautiful brown eyes you cannot say no to.)#tiny skk adventures#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs#bsd fanart#bsd dazai#bsd dazai osamu#nawy's doodles#ask answered

my most piping hot historical/academic take is that people who condemn "historians" at large for not applying modern sexuality and gender labels to historical figures are incredibly annoying at best.
#maddie meows#like idk i think it's fine to recognize certain figures as gay or trans etc etc colloquially#but the wider cultural context they lived under NEEDS to be taken into an account in academic circles#and often those cultures and time periods did not conceptualize sexuality and gender in the same way as us#it is inaccurate to say that like. idk. michelangelo was “gay” because that is a modern label.#we don't know how someone like michelangelo would define himself if given access to our modern terminology#so imo it's inherently dishonest to label him and similar figures that way#it doesn't mean it's bad to want to see people like you throughout history#nor does it mean using modern terminology is bad or inherently harmful shorthand- i think it can be useful for sure!#but idk let's not act like “The Historians” are performing purposeful censorship rather than#-at least nowadays-#typically just being honest#idk some of this is also just my personal thoughts re:labels coming up i think#like... idk. the way i see it#the words we use to describe our experiences can be very important and i don't wanna discount that#but they're not like. “real”. you know?? they're not inherent to anything#we made them up to describe groups of people with similar experiences#but language is inherently mutable? the language is not irrevocably tied to the experience is what i'm saying#so like... i can recognize a historical figure has similar experiences to me regarding sexuality or w/e#but to me what makes me the labels i am is that i choose to use those labels#it's a choice influenced by my experiences but i don't “have” to do anything wrt labels lol#so i do feel cautious about saying any personally unlabeled historical figure just “was” anything.#i don't know what they'd choose to use for themself if they knew what terms we had nor will i ever in most cases#idk. just rambling here lol

species don’t exist — i mean, obviously, they do. but they aren’t objective. species are (as most things are) a cultural construction, a coalition of humans deciding where and when to draw what lines. constantly in debate: did you know paleoanthropologists are unintentionally incentivized to claim to have discovered entire new genera along the path of human evolution because they are more likely to generate media buzz and gain desperately needed funding. thousands of plants may be categorized together but a centimeter’s difference in skull thickness warrants an entire new genus name. we are more genetically similar to chimpanzees than they are to their fellow non-human primates, but due to the rules of Linnaean taxonomy humanity will never be collapsed into the same genus as them because the rules dictate that the older genus name prevails: humanity would never accept becoming Pan sapiens, especially not after it took decades for it even to be accepted that humans were a part of the taxonomy in the first place. even the most basic of criteria we’ve used in the past to decide where a species stops and starts continues to be debunked - fish from entire opposites of the world can produce fertile offspring. analogous evolution can find lines that split millions of years back creating critters that would be side by side in a disney cartoon. categorization is a eternal battleground of western scientific standards requiring universalized objective qualifiers vs. the futile efforts to recognize the unmeasurable amounts of nuance held in traditional ecological knowledge — versus the fact that, inevitably, it all boils down to a vast continuum contained within only a few percentage points of variation in the squiggly lines that tell the cells of everything on the entire globe how to eat
#PONDERING . i should cite some of these with sources but i’m pondering pop science and genuinely curious how many people have got the full#‘the way we categorize living beings into species isn’t an innate trackable quality in dna but a constructed system of assigning names to#certain observable traits - be those visible to the eye or the microscope on a chromosome#<- has had no less than five evolution lectures at varying levels of complexity in the last three years <- anthropology student#i am approaching this both from a scientific perspective (genetic variation is so vast that there are many cases in which species distincti#ons boil down to two creatures or plants just being considered different by the people who interacted with them)#AND an anthropological linguistic one (those ways of categorizing animals or plants are inherently cultural and there is no objective#inherent quality of those plants/animals/fungi/whatever that would say it’s the binomial name or the colloquial name or anything at all)#text✨#idk what i’m doing. species don’t exist much like gender it’s biologically ambiguous and culturally valuable

Last post before I crash and no-one hears from me until I return from my first final the morrow’s eve (a changed man no doubt) but there’ll never be anything funnier to me than consistently being viewed as a composed and calm saviour by peers while I’m, actively and uncontrollably losing it.
#not said sarcastically or as a vent by the way I genuinely find it so terribly amusing. you think I have it together ? aw <3 you fool.#i’ve been pacing around my room like a starving lion since the past week in whatever free time i’ve had.#and i keep getting people in my messages begging me for last minute help ? which is endearing but. i’m hanging on for dear life myself#helping isn’t foreign to me; i have 4 (?) people in my class who almost exclusively refer to me as ma’am and even refer to me as a teacher.#but helping last minute is so. deeply chaotic.#and I have this issue with me where having others around me makes me immediately drop into a ‘role’ of sorts?#i’ll be freaking out but then someone else starts freaking out around me and my immediate response is to just.#hey. we are going to make it out of this. it’s easy as pie. do you see me worried? no right? <- on the verge of hyperventilating#there’s this one guy in particular who got so excited to find out we have the exact same examination set-up tomorrow.#i gave him like basic pointers and i don’t think i’ve ever been thanked so earnestly and desperately in my life.#i remember during mocks my friends would message me what I wrote in questions and then they’d immediately go oh thank Fuck.#they’d literally just act like they’re absolutely going to pass now just because we had points in common.#as if i’m some sort of fucked up correct answer sheet incarnate.#it’s genuinely really sweet to me though; like i’m not posting this ranting or such.#having so much faith in another to the point that you can put yourself completely at ease says. alot i think.#and i’m glad i can be that person for so many.#and I feel like it helps me in a way too because i become so concerned with others that I forget to drown myself in my worries.#i forget that I’m worried because there are others to care about and console and help. so i suppose they help me in a way as well.#but also who is going to be that person for ME. who is going to console ME. im going fucking neurotic /jest#<- woman with ego issues & control issues who would rather die than accept help.#sigh. oh well. I’m sure we’ll do just fine. cannot wait#🥀🍷 — colloquy.

Tumblr norms
Junferno is new to tumblr. What are the social norms of tumblr. I get that we write thought processes in the #tags. Do we use the colours?
#never seen anyone use the colours#i love colours#like pink#and blue#and orange#i wonder what colour we'd call the non-visible frequencies if we could see them#gamma rays would be obble#infrared and ultraviolet would not be just extensions to red and violet but maybe something crazier like grex and elliot#when i say what colour we'd call them i'm referring to how the words for these light frequencies would evolve from colloquial speak as oppos#as opposed to the scientific names which use greek letters like gamma or latin words like radio#tumblr#norms

"I could teach a masterclass in blaming one's self so thoroughly as to forget the other people involved might be feeling some responsibility too.
Weird way to be a narcissist."
#little excerpt from my journal today that i think might resonate with my fellow tumblrites. tumblrers. tumblrinas.#please dont judge the colloquial use of narcissist as not referring to npd. people with npd are also welcome here <3#anyway. fricken trauma amiright? nooo this accident we were both involved in? i totally did this to myself. why would you be worried?#I'm the one who didn't say I was triggered so obviously this is a self contained problem duh 🤦#actually ptsd#self blame#mental illness#mental health

"if you happen to fall in the subcategory of people who are really into third life and also rain world lets talk. please. i have an au come back"
i am staring at u with my artificer plushy in my hands
*walks onto the stage. taps mic.* um. Jimmy sliver of straw incident. *jumps off the apron breaking all of my bones immediately upon contact with the floor*
#hello hi there um. twirls hair. Lets talk hey man lets talk#ok actually full disclaimer I dont interact with the rw fandom much at all and got into the game mid 2020 so Im#one of those guys who get kind of obnoxious about downpour’s canoninity and get kind of nitpicky about the lore#but if the people can look past that I am all for discussion on 3l rw au. Personally I think scott would fuck it up as an iterator#. probably because he literally is just an iterator to me already im gonna be honest.#emotional dissonance likes to pretend he’s above everyone else needs to be good at everything etc etc. not saying iterators have these-#traits usually im just saying all of these traits of his would make perfect sense if he was an iterator. trust#i have this whole thing written out in my head about rw fh and their citizens colloquially calling their political arrangements a marriage—#between their iterators and how that means very different things to them and I um. Yeah. There’s a plot too sorry im just the fh guy#bree barks so fucking loud#3l but its all sad giant calculator groupchat drama is just really funny to me conceptually imma be honest#Iterator gria n made a death code out of boredom and just to see if he could its fucking awesome#asks

I have always found it adorable when someone uses words in your native language, even if it's a simple "thank you" or "you're welcome", I feel it's a detail that lets you know that the person appreciates you enough or cares enough about you to learn your language
#it reminds me when i had a crush on this arab guy and i would carry a dictionary in my notes with words for when i saw him lol#he used to do the same with me; always saying thank you or you're welcome in spanish#it also reminds me when my friends tell me the most random sentences in spanish#because tell me in what colloquial / casual context are you going to use the sentence 'dónde está la leche' (where is the milk)#they always say it when we see each other lol

It was absurd that those people ever tried to pretend it was about morality in the first place considering that they were the same people who were sending Karlie death threats all throughout the last four months of her first pregnancy 💀
see that’s the thing i don’t want to say everybody did everything but at the same time i think it would also be naive to say the venn diagram had no overlap
#i just feel like everyone would’ve done well by imagining what their mama would say before sending things… to speak colloquially#or imagine what taylor would say

saw ppl talking on twitter About It rather than directly what they were talking about when in recent months they were testifying to a Casual R Word Usage increase & i never saw it on twitter b/c yknow for as relatively few ppl as i Ever followed that activity has decreased a lot lately & i don't think i ever followed accounts where it would apply anyway & very rarely look at even Trends or anything else sitewide. but i feel like i'm seeing a bit of it on here more recently at least in recommended posts that are clearly just drawing from very general Humorous Posts genre like yeah that's just uh y2k style rword usage
#maybe even '90s? by the time i was in elementary school Gay was more so the synonym of choice#obviously it doesn't actually like. idk deplete anyone of a quart of blood to see any Word Usage & depending on the context like#i can ofc be barely bothered at all but i'm not posting about My Personal Experience but rather just the predictable phenomenon#for say alllll the times ppl Love to post about how Oh See This Is Why I Don't Take Ableism Seriously (it's b/c you're ableist? but ok)#about any post where ppl say that like Other Words used as [that's so gay] insults are also just vintage r words#origins as ''technically correct'' terminology & then becoming supposedly Figurative colloquial insults#basically the [f word r word] ''tasteful'' usage talking head moment from the office#& yknow ppl love to pass that around like here's the language cop telling me i can't call someone a stupid idiot. ableism is a joke#(or that ohh they're Dying to take ableism seriously Dying to support disabled ppl but this random tweet has thwarted them!!)#never engaging with The Idea That Words Mean Things / Language Defines & Conveys Ideas i.e. the ableist logic in language#which; also the argument that to Consider if casual familiar language was ableist was sooo easy; So Easy they're not even gonna do it#it's such a low bar simple easy request that i not call people moronic unintelligent simpletons that i would Never#i care so much abt Taking Ableism Seriously that if ppl even suggest that vintage ableist terms are ableist i'll go Lmaooo. no.#& also remark that it makes me even more anti anti ableist. like i'm so sure lol sooo sure it was sooo important to you#or ofc ''This is why ppl are ableist & don't take anti ableism seriously'' it's just the ableism actually but scintillating comment#& yeah nobody was suggesting that it's the Main Primary Most Important Single Mission of anti ableism. and yet.#just asserting that they are & that it's asking too much to Analyze much less indeed change up language. wherrre have i heard that rhetoric#nothing you encounter w/other perfectly Normative ideas baked unquestioned into ''Normal'' vernacular#& sometimes pointed out / criticized by those targeted by those logics to a chorus of Oh Please / Cmon Unserious No Way It's Fine#like if it's so Not a big deal lol then you sure could even begin to consider changing how you Think About & Use Language huh? & Yet.#anyone w/any experience in the Frivolity but also Overwhelming Oppression of like language that Talks About [queer / trans ppl exist]? no?#anyway that tl;dr like that Supposedly the r word was the one bit of ableist language that ppl accepted was; yknow; ableist. And Yet#like no you didn't really think that either or care much. despite that supposedly it was the ppl talking abt ableism in language who were#so Unserious & Unhelpful. & wildly the r word rennaissance is not getting that kind of Daily Twitter QRT events mocking pileon#just the kind of Killjoy Nags account who'd criticize ableism or the pileons on commentary abt it who are like yeah ppl are comfortable#putting the r word out there a lot more again. which has always been about [do you take the concept of ableism seriously At All. no]#like yeah no even here obviously the concept doesn't start & end. but an ableism uptick is reflected in ''the One Word supposedly accepted#as Rude / perhaps indeed 'truly' ableist'' broken out again huh lol. meanwhile again when Gay was more popular by my time perhaps#like nobody's directed the r word at me but i've gotten Stupid & Idiot within the exact same spirit; plus contempt dismissiveness vitriol#months ago partly read an article (itself ableist) w/a quote ft medical terminology of calling someone a ''moron''....felt startling & Bad

You’re not American?? I thought you guys used centimeters over their
In official documents yes, but that’s a fairly recent change. I can do both, in my early years I learnt inches so I guess that’s my go to?
#mod is British and even in the modern day most brits use a mix#for me metric was the only system we used in school but for things in the home (like your height) was inches#older brits will usually default to inches unless it’s something technical#so safe to say Mac would probably use inches colloquially#the main switch was late 60s early 70s
