CW meta, filters, talking about (not) avoiding important topics. 

Just to add:

I've heard this framed as "white people want this CWed so they can avoid it".

I'd like this CWed so I /don't have to/ avoid it.

Never forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.

There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.

Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

I'm watching what's happening, but.... We don't have the knowledge or the spoons to really analyze it enough to comment on it beyond that we think people are doing generally good stuff and we hope this leads to actual change and improvement.

just a gentle reminder: if you can, please, *please* try to be kind to yourself today. every day, of course, but today... there's a lot going on. take some time away from the news, away from the computer, if you can... maybe walk in the sun, have some gentle good times with your pet(s), distract yourself with a bit of humor. you deserve it. yes, you do. 💚 💚 💚

...apparently using "fall" to refer to the season is a distinctly north american thing and we had no idea

@IceWolf out of curiosity, what's your current display name about?

re: social, mental associations - 

@IceWolf I mentioned it, don't have the spoons for more of a conversation on it right now

social, mental associations - 

there's a really nice and thoughtful person in a discord thingy we're in who we always find a little unsettling for reasons that are not their fault, because they use :) smileys a lot and our primary association for those is a really condescending tone of voice, which i'm quite sure isn't what said person is going for but it makes interacting with them awkward and i want that to not be awkward

...holy crap i just realized

the title of "bee movie" is a pun on a "B movie"

bosom is pronounced very differently than one would think from its spelling, but boatswain is pronounced very similarly to how one would think bosom is pronounced from its spelling

fun fact: pokemon gen 1 games are *so* broken, that you can use them quite easily (no perfect timing required or anything) to warp from pokemon blue to the credits of *super mario land 2* (or any other arbitrary gameboy game): youtube.com/watch?v=SL_Zuc0tlv
