September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

This is part of what I'm referring to with many people demanding stories that reassure them they're a good person. They want the moral instruction because otherwise, rather than processing the reading experience, there's a thrum of "am I bad? am I bad? what if someone finds out I'm bad?"

Tumblr post by graftini:

stories about abuse are allowed to exist without reducing themselves to moral instruction. i think sometimes when people complain about the “romanticization” of abuse, what they're actually objecting to isn't necessarily the way abuse is being represented, but the fact that the representation doesn't provide them with constant moral reassurance. like, there is a difference between “this story frames abuse as desirable or inherently romantic” and “this story depicts abuse in an erotic/ambiguous/complicated way and doesn't repeatedly tell me that abuse is bad, therefore the depiction itself is irresponsible.”

We live in an increasingly isolationist culture that encourages you to be emotionally stunted. Books and stories should be about experiencing minds different from yours. They should expand your empathy and emotional intelligence. But that doesn't happen if the reaction is constantly this:

This is why I think everyone in the UK who retracts statements after legal threat is so spineless. Look at this placid defense from her team. This is the great minds that will mount her legal campaign. They will simply deny reality but that doesn't hold up even in a sham court.

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

Abusers exploit silence. They use the void to spin narratives. They want you gone when they're forced to face the truth. They'll lie to placate you. They'll threaten you to protect their image. Support those who risk speaking up about abuse. Truth is worth its weight in gold.

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

I'm absolutely appalled that Tim Hortons has chosen to partner with the Harry Potter franchise, and enrich JK Rowling, whose unapologetic and public bigotry targets a tiny and incredibly vulnerable queer minority group. You can call Tim Hortons and tell them the same at 1-888-601-1616.

Japanese researchers linked Long COVID to a dormant herpes virus reactivated by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This process triggers production of the SITH-1 protein, which was identified in about 70% of patients. The SITH-1 protein may contribute directly to brain dysfunction, fatigue, and depression.

Researchers in Japan have released findings showing that COVID-19 after effects, including fatigue, occur when a coronavirus infection activates another virus already inside the body.

I see that someone else got around to mentioning Asuka/Alexis of GX before me, but at least poor Asuka got to win her duels onscreen most of the time. That said, I've been trying to watch Arc-V-- because I've heard the girls of that show get MUCH more justice than any other in YGO history.

One of my hcs is that if you give flowers to a Forsaken, it signifies your love and acceptance for them as they are now. (Can be platonic or romantic as a gesture.) Leaving flowers at their grave, on the other hand, is a rejection of their present state and thereby considered particularly cruel.
