#new left language
Text
Why does the term "birthing person" even exist?? We all know that only a female can give birth to a child, trans men are infertile, trans women don't have organs to do that and the "non-binary" are just women with internalized misogyny (they sometimes too can't have children bc of testosterone intake or as any other women, have very low infertility rate)
Another funny thing I noticed is that when women in my country were protesting against the newly passed resolution banning abortion, they explicitly said that they were more than their reproductive organs, that they weren't just human incubators, but 2-3 years passed and I heard women my age who were on the protests back then using the new erase-women language. It is terrifying to hear btw.
So that leads us to the conclusion that we can just call females... women. Or just female, bc that one is fine too! And it will be the most inclusive language option out of all the left came up with! Not every woman can give birth, have a fully developed uterus, ovaries, etc. but what all of them have in common is their sex and no matter if the reproductive organs are working correctly or not. Besides, a woman is much more than her body and I think calling anyone by their reproductive functions is just degrading.

Okay SO I've never Bad Batch posted beyond reblogs but there's two episodes left and I'm going insane so my big giant theory for why the finale is titled The Cavalry Has Arrived with a sprinkle of Tech is Alive Yes I Am Delusional:
Tonight's episode is going to end with the Batch, Omega's gang, and CX-2 all colliding in one of the hallways.
Big Western faceoff, tumbleweed, yadda yadda y'know.
Right before the shooting starts, CX-2 tells them their escape plan through whatever hallway they're planning is strategically ill-advised, because *insert tactical explanation here*
Hunter: "Oh yeah? What, you trying to help us or something? No thanks."
CX-2: "It was worth the attempt. It's not as if we've ever followed orders anyway."
BIG PAUSE, CLOSE UP MONTAGE OF EVERYONE AS THE WORDS SINK IN
Omega: "...Tech?!"
Tech: *removes helmet to reveal it's him* "Well, I thought it was obvious. Shall we liberate some clones together, then?"
SMASH CUT, ROLL CREDITS, THE CALVARY HAS ARRIVED BECAUSE THE *ENTIRE* BATCH IS TOGETHER AGAIN AND THEY'RE GONNA SAVE THE CLONES.
end conspiracy theory rant. 🥴
#EDIT: SORRY LEFT OUT A BIT OF TECH DIALOGUE I PUT IT BACK JUST IGNORE THIS 😭#no matter what happens the callback to “i thought it was obvious” re: tech and the omega/chip discoveries is required. okay. it just is.#that's his line i need to hear it again okay#also please excuse hunter's dialogue being kinda generic#if it's someone with an accent saying more than a word or two I have to put thought into writing dialogue & this was completely off the cuf#i don't have as much a problem with it as tech because i am also autistic i speak his language 🤣#ANYWAYS i am delusional but i have also been able to predict story beats with fair accuracy for like 10 years so#speaking it into existence. manifesting? i'm still new at tumblr speak sorry 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭#K8 Rambles about Star Wars#star wars#the bad batch#star wars the bad batch#sw the bad batch#sw tbb#tbb#the bad bad spoilers#sw the bad batch spoilers#star wars the bad batch spoilers#sw tbb spoilers#tbb spoilers#tbb tech#tbb cx-2#tbb cx 2#tbb hunter#tbb omega#tbb wrecker#tbb crosshair#tbb echo#i tagged the whole batch because even if they're not referred to by name they're in the post in spirit

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.
#I'm from a seaside town that has become popular with tourists who come for the beach and the mediterranean climate#and the typical whitewashed walls of mediterranean coastal towns#in just a few years the average rent has gone up so much that now the average rent id#*is over 1000€ per month#one thousand!#that's a whole salary!#in the past 2 years they've been building a new neighbourhood. they've destroyed the vinyeards to make a new neighbourhood that will make#the town 1/3 bigger than it is. that's a lot. but all those houses are luxury houses with private swimming pools for rich foreigners (we#already have 2 private British schools high schools and college(in the british sense)/baccalaureate where their kids go and never have to#interact with locals. I teach some of those kids and they're very prejudiced against locals and very bigoted against the catalan language#(which ofc they never bother to learn)#there's a law in catalonia that says that for every certain amount of houses you build you are obligated to build a certain percentage of#affordable housing. so in this new neighborhood they built the bare minumum affordable housing which is still too expensive for us#and since there's so few of them everyone is competing to get them. the city hall and the bank have had to make an official competition for#them but you only classify if the renr would not be more than 1/3rd of your salary which is impossible. my cousins who are in their mid 30s#and have been working a good qualified job for 15 years (and their partners too) are considered too poor to be considered for the#affordable housing#everyone is having to move out to other cities away from their friends and family and current jobs. the only jobs left here soon will be#mostly directed at tourists#and the only way to continue living here if you're a normal person and not rich is if you're an only child who one day might inherit the#parents' house#but we look around at what's happening in nearby cities and we see the next step which will be airbnb taking the houses that are left#in many places (I've posted about thia before) there aren't any flats for rent or sell anymore that isn't an airbnb#I'm still lucky in my town when compared to other places like Barcelona which are already full of the airbnb plague#actualitat#airbnb#tourism#touristic massification#gentrification

Finally overhauled and updated the Japanese resources page on my Neocities. Added a lot of new things and also reorganized it so that it's a little easier for absolute beginners to get into
#neocities#linkpost#Alllmoooosttt have all the pages updated to the new layout code... Only a couple left...#The JP study page was the most complicated one since I wanted to update the information too#The others just need copy-pasted over but I'm lazy lol#Debated if I should put a warning on the JP study page about how time consuming it is to learn for-#-Germanic and Romance language native speakers especially#But Japanese already has an annoying reputation for being insanely difficult#It really really isn't haha Just very slow learning because of the 300 billion million kanji argh#Ok alright I guess having 4 writing systems is a LITTLE tricky

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written
#A Reflection of Starlight#AROS#valvert#fanfic#writing#Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer#(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009)#And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot#but ANYWAY#does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text#which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers#Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY#Like what in god's name???#I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back#the second I reopened the document like jesus christ#Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file#HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH#I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits#JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red#And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue#bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them#Ugh#So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself#That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written#if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation#And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience#It's still one book in my heart#And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount#Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that#with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

actually speaking of throuples. no one else can see my like 25 draft posts about the benny/carla/kitty throuple. devastating that in my mind it’s the love affair that reshapes new vegas but in post form i just mentioned one time that i did it for the bit and then got attached. but do you see what i mean
#that picrew is SO good. but i spend so much time thinking about them. carla is more the protagonist of fnv than kitty is to me at this poin#carla runs the new new vegas. she handles food and transport and logistics. kitty runs education and the arts and architectural/structural#remodel of the city. and benny runs imports/exports and the casinos and the money system they still have to have even as they try to make#something better. they’re the power throuple of new vegas and everyone loves them but they ARE terrible to talk to. carla’s from new reno#kitty’s from the mob vault and benny still talks Like That so they have conservations in esse#ntially 5 or 6 languages at once and won’t translate if you get left behind#benny gecko#kitty grave#carla fnv#for my tagging system lol

#Doodles#SCII#Helix#Max Vyer#DAX#*throws idea spaghetti throws idea spaghetti throws idea spaghetti throws#So Max and ZEX changing places - what if that but This lol#It would also be funny to watch Max stumble around in ZEX's body lol but considering ''how'' ZEX got isekai'd...#Not much left probably :| Dark#Really I'm just fascinated by throwing the almost-dynamics into relief hehehe - DAX and Dex so similar! And Max and ZEX similar in some ways#How would DAX react to Max :3c How would Max react to DAX! One of them knows the other - at least at arm's length - but not the other!#Seeing a VUX ''in person'' would probably be a whole other feeling as well haha - there's a familiarity when he's inhabiting ZEX's POV#Still thinks he's dreaming because I mean - would the reality be any easier to swallow? No lol#I guess this would be a scenario before ZEX dies since y'know - DAX is here haha - unless this is some afterlife something???#Both Max and DAX /would/ be dead in that scenario - or would they?? Haha the grey area is the funnest to play in <3#I think it'd be very interesting on DAX's end as well - obviously Max is very different from ZEX but if the language thing works both ways#VUX already have the translators of course but like - Max speaks very differently from ZEX he formulates his sentences very specifically#But if the way he attacks the words the way his accent moves the sounds around - if he speaks like ZEX but not /like/ him - s'interesting!#Would probably confuse the heck out of DAX haha he knows that voice very well!#By the transitive property would that make their accent space New Jersey?

realized today I am going to spend the rest of my life studying languages. not in a bad way but in a I will never know them all and so there will always be more to learn and I am always going to want to learn more and i have decades to dedicate to it. so excited for the version of me in the future who will know so much
#languages#learning languages#was thinking about how I wanted to study green and Latin and my university offers it#but I didn’t think I’d be able to fit studying /3/ new languages into 4 years#and the went…wait…this desire isn’t going away and I have a lot of life left to live#I can literally just. do it later#I can keep doing this forever actually#I can learn more lanaguges for the rest of my life#and I want to

i’m actually learning and feeling confident in my spanish class…… high school me is screaming
#also. learning a new language is so fun hello???#this is the magic of actually having a teacher#unlike high school me who was left to literally teach myself bc our school couldn’t keep a teacher#and somehow that was on us and we still had to learn a NEW LANGUAGE???#but anyway. i def have trauma from that and this class is literally healing me……#you can’t even imagine how DEPRESSED i was junior year when i had to go to spanish class#because i was so miserable and anxious and stressed ALL THE TIME🤞#that also has to do with the people in said class… but still!

Recent game related things .. hrmm...
#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff#so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the#actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically#like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common#language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0#actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other#art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks#with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky#if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i#you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby#or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning#'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real#Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere#around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an#independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed#upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and#political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild#country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area#border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change#or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area#feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that#handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever#ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background#of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day#have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T#As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

#Ignore me#4 months is quickly coming up... 4 months since Alec died#Every moment of every day I'm at a loss for what to do#And how to behave#Keeping myself busy at work is nice. I have#To be forced to use my brain other ways and do things#But by the end of the day I'm so unbelievably exhausted#I'm just masking as a happy-okay person.#I spend the quiet time at work rotating this new reality#It's exhausting to pretend to be okay#But what else am I supposed to do?#It's not fair to the people around me to constantly be on the brink of crying.#To be sad and quiet and idk. I don't want their pity or sad looks#But sometimes I do just wanna scream#I don't always want to hear about their recent adventures#I want to curl up in a ball because my regrets are eating me from the inside out#I fucked up an important part of my life because I'm a coward and#I was juggling too many trashfires in my life to deal with the messy place#We left our friendship. I thought there was time. There should've been time.#A whole lifetime to figure it out. Make things worse. Make things better.#To be happy#And now he's dead and none of it matters#I'm supposed to live the rest of my life now#I don't know how to do that anymore#Nothing feels right or real#Every atom of my being keeps raging against the truth#He's gone#The sweet boy that would make me laugh... share my love of myth & language...#Carry me bridal style... kiss every inch of my face... kiss the palm of my hand#And then hold it to his chest to fall asleep....

i do think it's kind of funny that ao3 seems to have made a blanket change to all the "mythology" tags to make them "religion and lore" (not a good change) EXCEPT the "arthurian mythology" tag, which remains intact despite a Number of people trying to get that one reworked or at least different wrangled for ages. they're like "we're taking mythology away from all the contexts where it might be applicable. and leaving it in the context where it's dubious. this is a sensible change"
#Choices Were Made#genuinely very funny that they left that one specifically#extremely annoying that they changed the others#especially the (dubiously correct) use of irish and welsh#when the Norse tag etc does not use any language except english#so it feels weirdly othering#especially because the exact translation of the irish doesn't match the english#like béaloideas is not simply 'lore'. it is far more specific than that.#so it doesn't feel like a carefully thought through change#not to mention “ancient” which. crucially. they have not used for the norse tag#so it's only the irish and welsh material that's ancient huh?? those are not living traditiona to you huh???#it's arbitrary inaccurate and problematic#also can they stop making the Ulster Cycle tag redirect into the general tag please !!!#that's like making captain america redirect into the general mcu tag... it's a venn diagram not a circle...#i want to be able to look for other ulster cycle fics and not scroll through twenty pages of 'assorted fandom plus fairies'#which is what dominates the irish mythology as-was tag and why i never found it browseable#but the new one is like. no actually i am not writing fic of 'ancient irish religion and lore'#that's not at all what I'm writing about#i am writing about medieval irish literature#'irish mythology' was never my favourite tag but god it was better than this
