Biking or viking?

“Viking” is Japanglish for buffet. The first buffet-style restaurant that was opened in Japan was named the Imperial Viking, therefore the term Viking was misappropriated. Despite the fact that the word buffet ビュッフェ also exists in katakana (the writing system for borrowed words), as does tabehoidai 食べ放題 (the original Japanese word for “all-you-can-eat”), バイキング viking is used the most often.

Also, the direct romanization of yakiniku… 🙄 Yakiniku is a Korean-style bbq that is really popular here.

"um do Black people know other cultures had braids too" yes, of course they fucking do. do settlers know how to listen or pay attention to anything but their own resentment and white entitlement? no. cos otherwise what they would hear is "whole-head box braids on non-Black hair is cultural misappropriation" and they would never have to complain about anything else for the rest of their shitty, grabby-hands lives.

human beings everywhere on earth have woven cordage out of anything we could get our hands on, and our hair is no exception... but if you can't get your head out of your ass long enough to un-muffle the words "BOX BRAIDS" and look up what those are, specifically, so you can avoid that style, specifically, then you should probably not make it worse by jamming your hands up there too, to start braiding. or maybe do, and then you will, ideally, vanish up your own ass altogether, and nobody will have to put up with your "research" into "ancestral" viking hairstyles when your own british ancestors are on record coping hard after getting their asses raided and beaten soundly, by reviling the invading danes for their "womanish" obsession with bathing, brushing their teeth, smelling good, and combing and styling their long and beautiful hair.

you aren't a viking. viking was a job, not a race. nobody is stopping you from braiding your hair. just don't get box braids. that won't be hard, cos they look bad on non-Black scalps. there are limitless other braids for you to try. learn them.

"If men got periods/needed abortion/got ovarian or breast cancer, those resources would be handed out like candy! They'd be more plentiful than ATMs!!"

You mean perisex cis men. You mean perisex cis men. Say what you mean.

I'm a trans man. I avoid all medical care because ninety percent of my doctors have not treated me properly because I am a trans man. I am acutely aware that doctors would be more than happy to not provide me care on the basis of my being trans, even if it costed my life.

Every time I so much as think about the doctors, I'm reminded of men like Robert Eads - of how my care is at the whim of the opinions a doctor has about my life. And because of my own past negative experiences, I hesitate to open my patient portal to schedule an appointment. When I have gotten a good doctor, it's not been the rule, it's the exception. I have a doctor right now who I'm lucky to see, who actually treats me like a human being. I'm celebrating that a doctor finally treats me like a person.

If you want to group all men as being the same, I hope you're willing to have that blood on your hands. Because that care is routinely kept away from men, and it's a real, tangible, systemic issue.

I don't talk about this because I see being trans as this negative thing, but because I want to continue living and I want my trans siblings to live. I understand the frustration that people have who say this - it's another systemic issue that also costs lives. However, I am alarmed at the trend of... forgetting or perhaps erasing that this is still an issue for men, that we literally aren't treated the same as somebody like a cis perisex woman. No doctor has ever treated me like one, and of that I know for a fact. And this is a simple fix - be clear about who you mean when you talk about a group of people or a specific phenomenon. That applies when you are talking about any group of people because, generally, these overgeneralizations will be useless because it can't apply to everyone, and might just hurt a group of people you may not even be intending on hurting.

it's pretty wild to me that people don't see that aang running off to save katara in CoD is his luke in empire strikes back moment, where he runs headlong into his want and attachment and he's narratively punished for doing so and not learning his lesson - aang runs after katara despite guru pathik's warning, like luke runs after leia and han from yoda on dagobah despite yoda's warning; similarly, as a result, things go to hell in ba sing se like they do on bespin - aang enters the avatar state before he's ready and gets killed, and ba sing se falls to the fire nation, luke fights vader before he's ready, loses a hand, and symbolically commits suicide after vader tells him he's luke's father.

the difference between their character arcs is that george lucas and co. actually went thru with luke's hero's journey and understood the fundamental difference between attachment and love, whereas I don't think bryke understood this difference and then dropped this from aang's arc pretty much completely and replaced it with aang digging in his heels into his want and attachment and he gets rewarded with energy bending from a lion turtle, the avatar state from a random pointy rock, and his forever girl from the self-indulgent white men that couldn't bring themselves to give their hero a compelling character arc that meant he might not have gotten everything he wanted at the end.

reasons why roger doofenshmirtz is more evil than heinz could ever be:

1. added greatly to greenhouse gas emissions by making paul deliver an empty box to him despite the danville mall being located next to his workplace at city hall.

2. embezzlement

France is banning the abaya, which is a loose-fitting dress worn by Muslim women (among other groups of women), in public schools. They claim the dress is an affront to French secularism even though it's not even a religious garment – it's a cultural garment that resembles pretty much any loose-fitting modest dress.

I can't possibly spell out for you how discriminatory and backward this is for a "modern, democratic" nation like France. Muslim women deserve more humane treatment and respect than this – being forced to undress more than they're comfortable with.
