no Male Author Moment has ever made me cringe quite as viscerally as the ending of Grapes of Wrath and that was a full decade before I found out about this
Sanora Babb’s own novel, Whose Names Are Unknown, was buried by the publisher after Grapes was published. It was eventually released in 2004, a year before her death.
I don’t have a hard time believing this.
Crows are smart as fuck I don’t even begin to doubt the veracity of these stories
A crow perched on a shrine boarder bowed back to me once while I was living in Japan. I was in laughing hysterics and a bit freaked out all the rest of the way home. Crows are fantastic and terrifying.
fun fact, this is the single most viewed thing i have ever made, far more than anything i’ve ever drawn, and it was all because i was in a volcanic mood about the companion variety in baldur’s gate 3
being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind
please internet, you gotta believe me, Overwatch 2 having a 10% positive rating is because of the dastardly Chinese, I SWEAR
In case you're wondering what the video is actually about (Like I was) it's basically a quick rundown of why Overwatch 2 has been so poorly reviewed, both on an international scale, but also particularly strongly in China.
When Blizzard stopped supporting their games in China not only could players no longer play Blizzard games, but Chinese players lost their entire Blizzard account. WoW, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, etc all the hours Chinese players put into these games was lost with little to no warning.
The steam release of Overwatch 2 meant that Chinese players of all Blizzard games (Not just Overwatch 2) had a way to voice their complaints about how poorly Blizzard has treated them.
TL:DR: Chinese players are giving Overwatch 2 bad reviews for the same reason everyone else is, except they have alot more players that have a lot more reasons to complain.
Something I'm only just learning through various articles and videos is that Autistics often do not have an intuitive understanding of social hierarchy.
Which... This has been so validating.
I have learnt that a boss is apparently more important than me. I have learnt that meeting a CEO of some big company is supposed to mean I kow tow and respect them.
But I do not instinctively feel or understand this. So you're the boss... Big deal. I'm not enamoured because you're a CEO. You're not more important than me or anyone else in my eyes.
It has gotten me in trouble when I first started working because I treated people all the same, with the same language and status.
To learn that this is very common with the difficulties with social interaction and Autistics is very freeing.
Some articles on it (not scholar level, but still discussing it):
