cancel your plans we’re thinking about the pale blue dot voyager pic tonight
this image of earth from saturn rattles around in my skull at all hours of the day
Please don’t dox me guys :(
The completely successful normalisation of left handedness in my native culture with zero negative consequences is inspiring to me. It is a deepseated neurological feature! Which correlates with lots of important facts about a person! And was the focus of a long history of violent brain-damaging child abuse! And now is so completely unremarkable as to hardly even be interesting
Today’s youth (at least here) don’t remember it but the times when left-handed people were forced to use his right hand are not that far. My grandpa is forcibly-taught right-hander (as we call them here) and he’s 84. My dad who’s 52 would be forced right-hander if he was like 5 years older.
Like, it’s not sone überdistant future. Dexterity is doom. Sinister people gained freedom mere 50 years ago. And I’m pretty sure there are places where they’re still oppressed and forced right.
This isn’t a joke. This is 100% the truth. My grandma was beaten by teachers as a child for being lefty. She rebelled and is still a lefty today as point of pride.
my gran was left handed and got so abused for it that she still hates writing at the age of 78. She still writes with her right hand too, and complains that she could never learn to draw. Cruelty inflicted in the past is still hurting in the present.
My mother-in-law is lefthanded. When she was a girl, her teachers tied her left hand to her desk so she couldn’t use it and was forced to use her right hand.
