How old were you at the lowest point in your life? Reblog this and put it in the tags, plus your current age maybe. I'm trying to see something.

There's more context than that (source, emphasis mine):
The hearing was packed with speakers there to testify either for or against the bill. Most people were limited to two minutes, but the hearing lasted more than eight hours. Jones was there in support of the bill, but wasn’t intending to get up and speak. But after listening to nearly seven hours of testimony, he put his name down.
“I have very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there, so when I came here, my eyes were opened,” he told the state Assembly’s Health, Aging and Long-Term Care Committee just after 9 p.m. “I was one of the critics that sat on the side and made the decision there was only two genders, so I got an education that was unbelievable. And I don’t know just exactly how to say this, but my perspective for people has changed. … I’d like to apologize for being here, and I learned a very lot about this group of people.”
This guy wasn't there to voice support; on the contrary, he was intending to watch in silent support of anti-trans legislation. His mind was changed by hour after hour, people speaking for two minutes at a time in support of trans rights, learning things he didn't know or understand. These are the people to reach.
His grandson may have thought that this was possible, that his grandfather could be appealed to by hearing the real words of community members. If so, he was right.
Encourage your family to hear the stories of trans folks in your community and give them time to process what they hear and come to new conclusions. Don't tell them what to think. Many people, with new information, naturally come to new conclusions.

Alright was no one going to tell me that in the middle of the Nevada desert is an old cemetery that contains the bodies of a bunch of miners who died in a fire and next door is a haunted clown motel
Why are we still setting horror movies in generic Victorian houses in the woods when this is a real place in the world
im at the miner cemetery. im at the haunted clown motel. im at the combination miner cemetery and haunted clown motel.
reviews of stays at the Clown Motel are incredible

I like this witch cat finding game, very cute. However I think it would be improved if it was instead about a detective with a severe substance addiction who is supposed to somehow solve a murder
Miss Oldstein: I'm sorry Anna, but I haven't seen your little Mr. Baxter since you brought him into my coffee shop last week.
Empathy (easy - success): She's tenser than normal. Maybe she had an extra cup of coffee. Maybe her knit sweater isn't as warm as she thought it would be. Or maybe...
Half-Light (challenging - success): You know why. This old crone thinks she can get the best of you. Her smile says it all. She thinks you're too much of a coward to confront her. And she knows you have no evidence.
Pain Threshold (trivial - success): Beat it out of her. You'll only get the truth with bloody knuckles, and you can hit her harder than she can take it. If Mr Bixby had lost you, he would have fought twice as many people to find you again.

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
Hell yeah

Underrated JRPG feature is when one party member uses some non-weapon object as a weapon, but you still upgrade your stats by buying weapons, so now every weapon shop in the world needs to carry parasols of increasing lethality
This post inspired by how Genis in Tales of Symphonia canonically uses a ball and cup toy (kendama) because he's a kid

But because everyone in the game also gets an Ultimate Evil Super Cursed Ancient Weapon, the game has to find a way to make an Ultimate Evil Super Cursed Ball and Cup Toy. You know. For evil children.

Something a bit different! I was inspired by some background animations I saw from @kiwianacat and made this little gif of Rockstar looking out at the lake beside the StormClan camp <3
