just saw a chart with the gender options "male" "female" and "part-time/other" and i think i get what they were going for but i'm obsessed with the concept of part-time gender. clocking into my shift at the gender factory and brother i am not getting paid a living wage

I'll tell you what's problematic about being over 40 and being friends with someone under 25: if you say "but I am le tired" they do not understand that they are supposed to say "well have a nap AND ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES"

i understand the motive behind statements like "real men wear pink!" and what they are trying to do but consider this: reifying the idea of real vs fake manhood sucks actually. we should not perpetuate the idea of manhood as a test of honour that you can fail & that failing is bad. thats patriarchy 101 babe

ranting about poetry and whatever but it annoys me so much when people disregard poetry and it's value because it was taught to them poorly in high school. poems are much more than just random words thrown in a blender and pushed onto paper in some weird way just for you to mindlessly write about it to hand in for a grade. every single aspect of a single poem holds meaning. the time it was written, the format, the diction and syntax, the title, literally all of it. just because you weren't taught how to properly analyze poems doesn't mean that they have no meaning, it means that you don't have the skills to analyze them. and some teachers make it especially hard to form those skills. but the lack of skill really doesn't need to be carried with you long after your graduation. you can read whatever poems you want from whatever era you want. romantic poems, epics, haikus, contemporary, the world is literally your oyster. you're much older and smarter than you were when you graduated. there's no reason to hold the same opinions you had while in high school about a topic much broader than you realize.

anyway let the soft animal of your body love what it loves shall I compare thee to a summer's day I walked to the fertile crescent and built the sphinx the poem ends soft as it began- I loved my friend or whatever. blah blah blah

Animorphs #11: The Forgotten thoughts (pt. 2):

• This book has so many classic horror elements. The death premonitions and the sense of foreboding, but also the inability to tell anyone about the fear because you're not sure how real it is. Feels almost like a Final Destination or Haunting of Hill House type of story.
• Another detail I love: Ax's takeoff in the Bug fighter knocks over all of his friends, and he apologizes for having forgotten to account for human balance in the acceleration. It suggests that he really is right about humans being wobblier than most other species, and that Bug fighters don't have seatbelts because humans are the only possible operators who could be injured by turbulence.
• [Jake's orders put Tobias in danger]
  Tobias: You're the boss! Here I come! (p. 56)
  [Jake's orders put Ax in danger]
  Tobias: Jake, there's no time!... They're after him! You happy now, Jake!? (p. 89)
• "A moment of pity... This hork-bajir warrior didn't ask to be here, bleeding from a dozen wounds in an alien jungle a billion miles from his home.
  But then, I didn't ask to be here, either." (p. 93)
  That's it, that's the series!
• Also on the list of humans-as-space-elves details: Ax apparently assumes that humans will be frightened by the sight of a monkey. Does he think he acquired a tiny mutant human and that he's about to induce Uncanny Valley willies in his friends?
