Didn’t see any posts about it so here it is for the other Photosensitive folks,

Nimona has a lot of flashing lights, no intense strobing (ie Incredibles) but includes:

Alarm sequences (red lights, ‘police’ lights), explosions and gunfire

Sparks/flashing/flickering lights, firelight

Thunderstorms and lightning effects,

Flashes from color to black (hard to describe)

All within the first few minutes of the movie, frequently throughout.

It wasn’t too terrible when I watched with other lights on during the day but I tried watching it with them off and it was pretty bad. Sharing this so other people can find it would be much appreciated!

This is a school that gets 95% of its funding from the government. Jesus christ. I really think we need to just go back to feminism for babies 101 just as a cultural movement because apparently we're still having the "are girls allowed to wear pants at school" debate. To be clear, the sc declined to hear the case leaving the decision of the lower courts to stand which sided against the school. So that's nice at least. But Jesus Christ.

Gotta love a government funded school that every day has your child recite that they're going to guard against the stains of falsehood such as listening to experts relying on rational arguments. Making it out of this current wave of christian nationalist assault on education is gonna be so fucking rough

I don’t LIKE this happening but it is amazing HOW it is

It's totally not "temporary". He has said that so he can backtrack when twitter blows up. Which it has. Or it was doing, before I dooms rolled through my 600 read tweets limit watching people call him names.

Now I just get the "rate limited" message. 🙄

These are the most plausible suggestions I’ve seen as to what’s actually going on

some things i’ve learned about adulthood that no one warns you about

mybuckystar

  • you will in fact continue to have acne past the age of twenty
  • you will eventually hit a point where you start to feel icky inside if you go too long without eating some sort of vegetables
  • depending on your current level of athleticism/physical activity as well as the kind of activities you did as a kid/teenager, your joints may start acting whack in your twenties, despite what everyone says about that not happening until middle age
  • eventually you will reach a point where you wonder how you were able to stay up until 3am nearly every night and be perfectly fine the next day (and this moment will come much younger than you expect)
  • it is much harder to meet new people after you’re done with school than sitcoms would have you believe
  • don’t let society tell you shit: it is perfectly acceptable to live with your parents after you graduate, there’s no need to be broke and miserable just so you can have some misguided attempt at independence straight out of school

  • aging in general will catch up to you much sooner than you think. you’ll notice your first grey hairs ~25. crows feet appear when you smile ~30. aging is a slow and gradual process that’s happening throughout your life, including your 20’s. it’s not like an Old switch flips when you turn 40, any more than a Puberty switch flipped when you turned 13.
  • same thing with not being Cool anymore. you’ll be vibing one day and suddenly media is saying your favorite style of jeans or hairstyle “date” you. (on the up side, you probably won’t care about that kind of thing anymore.)
  • taking care of your body and your home is Relentless. nobody will make you do chores or eat your veggies. it can wear at you if you let it. setting and keeping good habits lessens the strain.
  • measuring success is harder as an adult. in school you get graded most days, sports are measured in points. feedback at work regarding performance will be largely arbitrary. nobody can tell you if you’re on the right track to raise children into well-adjusted adults (though there’s plenty of conflicting advise out there). are you happy? how happy?
  • outside of some obscene luck, you probably won’t build the life you want at the speed you want. that’s normal.
  • you don’t have to stop liking “kid” stuff when you grow up. if you can still like ice cream or sports, you can also still like disney or nerf guns.
  • you’re gonna have a favorite burner on your stove.

  • You will start to genuinely enjoy those ‘boring’ gifts like socks or hand soap (because now you don’t have to buy socks or hand soap)
  • It’s not the bending over for an extended period of time that’s gonna get you, it’s the standing back up after that’s gonna throw out your back. Take your time

STRETCH. Just do it. It will save, do you a world of good when stuff starts feeling stiff/breaking down.
