20 year old beginner: one year of learning flute and butterfly knife skillz :)
Fun fact: Adults actually learn those “You need to practice!” skills better than children do.
Kids tend to want to do literally anything aside from learning this skill my parent is forcing me to learn.
Adults actually can sit down and practice things for hours on end. Adults WANT to practice to get their skills better. Adults deliberately set aside time every day to practice. Even if it’s just 20 minutes, it’s productive growth and not wiggling in your chair mournfully watching birds out the window.
Anything from Drawing to Weaving to Violin to fuckin flipping bufferfly knives like a pro - choose a skill and LEARN, dammit! None of that ‘Children’s brains are more malleable’ bullshit. Brain squish is not the end-all of learning!
Literally only languages children learn better than adults do, and you know what???? We can do our damn best to match it by practicing
i think the horror genre as a medium to express female trauma is really good and can be done in a way thats truly impactful and beautiful but when men utilise it to fulfil some fantasy of theirs and completely miss the mark and it just turns into them getting off to women’s pain makes me wanna truly commit unspeakable acts and by that i mean storm hollywood and kill every male director in sight
like does anything think it’s super fuckin. weird. that we’ve become more heteronormative in the past few years collectively like when did we start saying that straight is the “default” orientation why did we dredge up “default orientation” bullshit back up at all when did we start reinforcing heteronormativity by forcibly defining people who weren’t queer in ways we understood as straight when did we start telling people with marginalized orientations that they’re “basically straight” in order to dismiss their voices when did we become so bad at radical liberation
