Watching people who can do decent cold reads is genuinely sort of fascinating. Scribe and I were at a local plant store today and there was a self-proclaimed psychic doing tarot readings for people, and we decided it might be fun to give it a try, especially since we’re at sort of a weird crossroads in life right now where tarot can be genuinely informative if approached from a certain…

Nobody’s fault really (well, some people’s faults, but it’s the usual suspects, not my friends or followers) but there’s sort of a perfect storm of different controversies messing with my head tonight and really making me feel some kind of way (negative) about being on the cusp of attempting to make something an academic career.

Honestly not to blorbopost but I think a lot about how Palamedes from TLT is portrayed as both a caretaker (from afar, admittedly, but still, he’s spending a lot of time and energy trying to mitigate Dulcie’s health problems and I feel like that should count!) and deeply, hopelessly in love with Dulcie because it’s so fucking refreshing and tragically unique and also perfectly…

Making my own post so as not to derail someone else’s also extremely fair post about disabled people not being afforded the same grace as their caretakers, even in the tags, but honestly, as someone who is a partner-caretaker of a seriously chronically ill person and tries to treat her as an equal partner in, you know, making life choices about things like our finances and where we live and…

Also that same book began by saying in hoped to be of use to “parents and school-teachers alike” but also “bachelor uncles and spinster aunts” among others which I found fascinating even before the surprise asexuality mention, but it’s especially interesting to me in light of it.

So I went down a bit of a history of sexuality rabbit hole tonight, specifically the history of sex education, because a friend in a RoL server is interested in writing a fic about Thomas Nightingale’s canonical asexuality and wanted some idea of what boys his age might (or might not) have been taught about sex in school in the 1910s. Which has been fascinating, but I also absolutely have to…

Genuinely I can’t think of a piece of popular fanon I actually like. For any fandom. Maybe some ADHD/autism headcanons but even then I’m usually like “Okay, but you’re doing it wrong”

prokopetz : prokopetz : Speaking of medieval history, it’s fun how the popular accounts are all “the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors”, and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like “I hope the King literally explodes”.
