you know how you occasionally see a really bizarre guitar in an anime and it's like, "huh that's weird, the artist shoulda looked at a reference because guitars do NOT look like that"
now of course, having done the research, ive realised that theres probably tons of guitars kicking around in japan since the 60s and 70s that look EXACTLY like that

“You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.”
“The spectator-buyer is meant to envy herself as she will become if she buys the product. She is meant to imagine herself transformed by the product into an object of envy for others, an envy which will then justify her loving herself.”
― John Berger, Ways of Seeing

Julia Serano on the "Activist Language Merry-Go-Round":
"[It] does not stop when the marginalized group finally finds 'all the perfect words'…
"Stigma is the engine that keeps the Activist Language Merry-Go-Round in perpetual motion…These negative meanings and the social structures that propagate them run deep and remain largely out of reach. One of the few areas in our lives in which we can exert a modicum of control is through language: the words we [embrace/discard/tolerate/not tolerate]."

OK so I'm finally getting this built out. Watch this space as I complete cards and add content: http://www.neonmoontarot.com
people can be more or less skilled at particular types of reasoning or analytical frameworks, they can have more or less knowledge about a topic, and they can be more or less willing to change their mind in the face of new evidence or logical errors. people can have cognitive differences that make those easier or harder.
but people are not more or less intelligent. don't criticize people by appealing to a concept of generalized intelligence, it's just inaccurate (in addition to being ableist)
