Oh and I can proudly say now that I was the designer of this merch drop. It was an absolute blast getting to hash out the Hunts Plush and Kitten keychain (I'm so bloody itchy!!!)

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.

Threads post "And then for no reason, no reason at all, they made us all learn how to play the recorder"

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

I am not a trans woman. I am nonbinary. Agender, as far as I can tell as of now. But I keep posting this: I was not socialized male. I was brutalized to perform a kind of masculinity and I am resentful about it "oh you have male socialization" means "you are not who you are, you are tainted"

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

Speaking of the Lord of the Rings, my favorite part of the Shadow of Mordor games was giving Celebrimbor a spotlight and screen time. I think they made him a really compelling character and really nailed him. I love the bitter-ass imperfect genius elf bastard bent on revenge.
