Thanks! I was wondering if the Stanford-Binet would have any indirect suggestion of something like discalculia that a professional could interpret, since I was tested at a young age and have a roommate who's doing school psych grad work, so I figured she could poke around and it also might be interesting for both of…

Holy FUCK.

I know that feeling. I have a lot of crossed wires, so as soon as I see more than 4 digits I start to swap them and get this feeling of confusion and wrongness (manifests as "bad" texture.) I've always been really bad at computation — I was usually fucked over by computation or procedural mistakes, and had a very…

I think that's the new face of racism. Assuming that POC = hypersexual, under educated, and lazy. I got a lot of shit at my old admin job, too, as if there was somewhere else an unconnected lib arts graduate could work.

Holy fuck. You two just might have changed my life.

I hate those people with a passion. Their inflated sense of their own intelligence is unmatched.

THIS. My school lets you keep your school email. I very much enjoy handing it out to snobby people. Yes, I went to the school you and your offspring couldn't get into. On scholarship. Merit, not need-based.

I just laugh when people try to talk to me about calories. Because they usually don't understand how calories or food work. Also, because counting calories isn't really effective.

Oh, the willowy ones get it worst.

of course. everyone should know a few tricks. but there are multiple arm bars and there are several that don't require equal height. the over the shoulder is just the simplest one, most popular one, and it should start with knees bent to add leverage. i'm 5'2 and i've used it on men who are 6'0 and taller.

I love getting called anorexic and told I have food issues by people who are constantly whining about how fat they are, whilst being quite skinny. I stopped doing that attention seeking bullshit when I was 15 or so, when I started getting all womanly and junk.

Immigration + marital rape + mental illness + poverty. But we're getting better and better at getting away + giving hell. I'll tell my kids, "If you end up in jail I'm not getting you. Unless someone tried to assault you. Then I'm showing up with bail and we're gonna go find that person and I'm gonna end up in…

Also *trigger warning*

I thought you were suggesting the woman is usually shorter than the man, sorry. I meant, a woman isn't always going to be significantly shorter than a man.

Unless you get the eyes, it's really not going to stop someone really interested in inflicting violence upon you.

Indeed. However, there are plenty of tall women, and it takes maybe a minute to show someone how to do it, and it can be used, with very little leverage, to put strain on the arm of someone who has tried to grab you from behind.

I Googled it. The common, "ridiculous theory unaccepted by establishment" and "complete lack of understanding of science" combo

How are we descended from...what...how do...what?

So weird. Dolphins have always creeped me out a bit. And when I did the dolphin experience thing, they were just kinda scary and huge.

My mom is crunchy and I was born at home with my parents' dogs (and a midwife) in attendance. My father disappeared for several hours, and when he returned, she tried to crush his hands while alternately screaming, "WHERE THE FUCK WHERE YOU?" and, "GIVE ME THE FUCKING DRUGS"
