Social media has weirdly conditioned a huge number of people to feel like they're Doing Something by posting, and Doing Nothing if they don't post about a particular thing, and in general neither of those things are true.

I've always wondered how long bear arms are - as a kid I was out bringing the cows in&abt 300ft away a big brown hairy thing stood up. I initially assumed bear, then the arms went out to the side& were LONG as it waved violently around. The cows took off and I quietly walked the other way back home.

Sorry you're having to deal with all that! Hopefully things will get better soon!

It's really interesting how he went from a baby himself when most of us first met him in CQL to now being in ads where he is coded as someone who could be a father to a young child. Where has the time gone!?

I'm going to recommend k-drama Beyond Evil - I wouldn't call it heterosexual media tbh though, but it's not specifically gay either (it's slashy). It's just really really well written - a police/serial killer show abt the families left behind and those we make, NOT abt the killer. It's on Viki.

Murderbot is AWESOME! Who doesn't feel vaguely homicidal all the time but is easily distracted by media? Murderbot is us.

I had never heard about it being a tax writeoff, which wouldn't have made sense to me anyway, but I have heard many people question why multi-million dollar companies subsidize their donations through customers rather than just donating or matching customer donations.

Yeah, definitely! And with that reveal the audience is like - what's his next move?? Which is why WWX asking him is so important - it lets NHS know he's been found out and allows him to sooth WWX (and us) that now that his revenge is done, he's back to art and not looking to become Chief Cultivator.

Yeah he's really really GOOD at it. The movie is a prequel story (obviously since in the main story his brother is dead which is the driving force for revenge that led to WWX's resurrection, etc) so it's more about seeing where they came from - the Before times basically.

I should add that I love Bird boy a lot and rewatching/re-reading knowing what he is up to makes certain scenes take on new meaning.
