lies on the floor and has just So Many Feelings about all the ways in which pericles and cassidy are foils, one of them being the comparison between how they use constant, vocal, unabashed affirmation of the qualities they value about themselves to cope with rock bottom self-esteem.
there's so much to be said here about how pericles' 'positive' self-talk is ultimately destructive to himself and everyone around him, whereas cassidy's has both been healing for her and held her back from processing her self-loathing in other ways, and so much of that has to do with her experiencing firsthand the results of pericles' shit handling of his poor self-esteem and desperately not wanting to be anything like him. fuck me up man
#sdmi#scooby doo: mystery incorporated#cassidy williams#professor pericles#SDMItag#there's SO much here god#the older i get the more i understand cassidy and *ow*#which like god the 'desperately does not want to be another pericles' is a whole can of worms of its own#cassidy: it's important to internalize that you're allowed to like and be proud of things about yourself without having to Pass Peer Review#not just as a matter of principle but because your brain needs to hear it reinforced to do so; especially when there's already damage#in the same way that someone tearing you down over and over and over will beat the idea into your head over time#no matter how Flat Out Wrong you believe they are on a logical level; and no matter how viscerally you believed that at the start#be the opposite of that for yourself#pericles: my entire personhood hinges on one (1) Good Quality(tm)#without it i am utterly worthless and deserve everything that has ever happened to me. everyone i refused to believe about myself was right#the only valid measure of whether i am a person and have worth is whether the One Good Quality demonstrably *works* in practice#and other people are forced to believe it is real and matters because it directly affects them; usually to their detriment#and the only reason people try to stop me from succeeding or give me consequences for my actions is because they don't see me as a person#'locking me up like a common beast' isn't wrong because he's inherently a person; it's wrong because *he's Smart and that makes him one*#and it does not cross his mind at all that 'seems to have murdered a bunch of children' *might in fact be a reason they'd lock up a person*#so fuck em he'll hurt anyone and everyone in order to prove his One Good Quality; and make *absolutely sure* they know it's being proved#there has to be someone else to witness and validate that proof; because to him his own judgment does not count#cassidy after having her life destroyed by the results: Hm! no thanks#dyn: so nice to meet you; angel

I regret to be vindicated in my personal belief that sometimes getting a re-release of an old game is a bad thing.
Listen, I don’t care about the Gameplay Issues TM or whatever that people are arguing about online. I have already made my peace with that argument by just ignoring any version of Tales of Symphonia that came out after the GameCube one because I don’t want or need them. Other people can play them. Other people can have hot takes about them. Whatever.
HOWEVER, there is something very nice about a game only really existing as mostly a thing of the past: companies don’t bother using all of the newest, shittiest, and greediest tools to capitalize on it. As soon as it gets a hyped up ~modern remaster~, regretfully, companies suddenly care about squeezing all it’s worth from it again.
All this to say.... everyone I know in the ToS speedrun circle has woken up to 4723843902483284 copyright claims on 10-year-old videos of the game because Bamco is seeing dollar signs right now and has started using Content ID to claim ToS stuff. happy remaster released in JP day I guess!!
[DISCLAIMER: from what I can see currently the claims are just allowing the owner to monetize it, and not like, actually blocking or taking down anything. thank fuck. but I preferred it when this stuff flew under the radar! I hate having the radar on stuff made decades ago because a remaster just came out!!!! Because that “monetized claim” switch could be flipped to a full takedown on a whim!!!!!!]
#i am just bitching dont mind me#the gc version is the only version i care about that really hasnt changed#but now the kids on my lawn have attracted law enforcement and i hate it#weirdly i seem to have escaped the massive symphonia copyright wave but it's probably because i have a tiny channel no one cares about#whereas jay and bertin get Views TM#dunno. anyway! i hate the modern internet sometimes#also this is mostly a vent post please dont take this as like a thoroughly researched and peer reviewed post about copyright fdsfljdsk

having access to medical information for the first time in our life is a little overwhelming. most peoples bodies arent like mine. im not this hairy, my voice isnt this low, my body isnt this different in all these places, for no reason. i wasnt called slurs and had my parents pulled aside and whispered to during physicals for no reason. i had any information of my own body and hormones and medical information actually hidden from me, like a doctor whispered things to my mother that she never told me even when we begged. i would say so often that i was different, i could point at what now are very obviously symptoms and be told that it was nothing or not a big deal or just told i was LYING. by someone who took me to a doctor maybe 4 or 5 times and knew nothing about health herself. fuck.
#im looking into hormonal and chromosomal testing for a few intersex conditions that i have many symptoms for#and i have one that i. mostly think is The One#this is another slow burning dicovery that takes years of exposure and slow learning and eventual research#and Peer Review(tm)#and months and months of slowing coming to terms and realizing that things that had always been normal for me#but clearly ostracizing me from my peers and society#are symptoms#this is how i discovered my autism#and idk im not gonna say im anything at all rn but. if i do at any point. its not out of the blue#i just havent talked abt this on my blog yet bc imscared of this but its kind of been a journey happening thats now#not able to be ignored or not talk about#and i have been talking with people who knew and still know more than me and. well ill stop rambling

honestly the problem with booktok (and bookstagram) is not YA lit. it's not about people enjoying books that some might consider "low-brow" or whatever.
imo booktok is the culmination of several problems:
firstly, there's the homogeneity of algorithmic recommendations and the enormous influence those recommendations have on the publishing market. booktok recs tend to be of a very similar style and subject matter. they're easily digestible, easily bingeable titles that arent overly complex. booktok favors stories written by white women, often featuring characters with traumatic backstories and focusing on themes like overcoming adversity and the pursuit of romantic love. they are also usually very anglo-/americentric. none of this is necessarily bad, and none of it is by design, but it's not a coincidence either. it's the result of the constraints of short-form content on the one hand, and on the other, of an algorithm that amplifies, in broad strokes, the preferences of the core demographic of any given group of users.
secondly, it's about the commodification, not of reading, but of being Someone Who Reads Books (TM), which i think is just a particularly obvious symptom of online peer pressure and social-media-driven self-presentation. booktok doesn't encourage you to read, for example, sally rooney. it encourages the cultivation of one's own identity as someone who reads sally rooney. the problem here is not that sally rooney is a shit writer whose work has nothing of note to say. quite the opposite. sally rooney's work is relevant and interesting. in fact, it's being studied by scholars, and even if it wasn't, people can and should be allowed to enjoy some light reading, and yes, even Problematic (TM) fictional characters.
the real problem is the fact that the very nature of how booktok works actively discourages the critical discussion of the stories that it circulates. the problem is not millions of teenagers reading colleen hoover's slop (i love me some slop) – it's millions of teenagers encouraging each other to read and internalize – UNCRITICALLY – hoover's particularly romanticized depiction of abuse. tiktok's algorithm does not foster diversity of opinion. it doesn't foster diversity PERIOD. it doesn't foster slow, in-depth discussion. its only function is *make line go up* – line go up = clicks, views, engagement, money.
due to tiktok's popularity, booktok also has an enormous influence on marketing-related and (apparently, to some extent) editorial decision-making in the publishing industry. this is not just the fault of booktok, goodreads is part of the same problem. i mean, booktok has managed to turn colleen hoover's 'it ends with us' into a bestseller FIVE YEARS after it was originally published. it has also led to publishers dropping authors or DELAYING THE RELEASE of new titles after booktokers flooded the goodreads pages of unpublished books with one star reviews.
as i said, the underlying issue here is not unique to booktok. it's the same homogenization that plagues the movie industry, the tv industry, streaming services, etc. the publishing industry is just particularly vulnerable to such manipulations of public opinion. in the end, tiktok is not a social media app. it's an entertainment app and its content is focused on brevity. the biggest booktokers aren't simply avid readers. they don't post actual reviews of books they enjoyed. they're influencers who receive boxes of books from publishing houses to show off in haul videos like "have you guys heard of squarespace?" and that's it. the level of engagement with the texts themselves is like reading a blurb on the dustjacket, and unfortunately that is reflected in the selection of titles that become popular. if it can't be sold to you in 3 sentences, the algorithm will bury it.
#and that dear children is why we hate booktok#and before you respond: THINK!#is it TRUE? is it HELPFUL? is it INSPIRING? is it HELPFUL? is it KIND?#<- that spells thihk but you know what i mean lmfkxkdkg#again: NOT about young adult fiction#im a staunch defender of the YA genre#a lot of hate towards YA books is just thinly veiled misogyny#this is not about that#this is about tiktok in particular and how it encourages superficial engagement with simple stories#how it *prohibits* deeper engagement with more complex texts#and about the chokehold it has on the book industry#&#oh also#booktok single-handedly destroyed z-lib

PASTA I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
*heavy breathing*
DO YOU THINK MATT LIKES CITRUS FRUITS?! LIKE MANGOES AND ORANGES?
Because he can sense when a fruit is ripe so would that affect whether or not he likes them because he always gets perfectly sweet mangoes and oranges? And what do you think his favorite fruit would be considering his taste buds
YOU'RE RIGHT, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT SO IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME, I HAVE MADE A VERY SCIENTIFIC CHART TO DEMONSTRATE.
As you can see by the VERY official chart I have made, I agree with your hypothesis (it's science, peer review, something something citrus molecules). I believe he can and WOULD be able to enjoy citrus fruits if they're JUST ripe, though for a very short amount of time, and he would absolutely have to use his heightened senses to find the Perfect One, likely one he'd eat the same day because if he goes even a hair too long or grabs one too soon, it is VERY easy to drop down into Stinky Cat Face (TM) range. But when he gets it right? Oooooh, when it's just right, perfectly sweet, hovering exactly center between sour and overripe, he could moan in delight. I have a feeling it would be something akin to sensory overload but in a pleasant way - citrus is consuming, and biting into a ripe one brings him a brief sting from the acid (and a little shiver cause he kinda likes that sting, subconsciously he thinks he deserves it, dumbass probably forces himself to eat an unripe fruit on a bad day, bad bad Matthew, suffersuffersuffer with the lemons matthew) before he's swamped with taste. The only reason the sour and sweet don't torment him is that they are in PERFECT balance, in such high amounts that his heightened senses can't full comprehend them and so just signal DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS all at once.
Favorite fruit overall I headcanon as strawberries BUT, if we're talking citrus I could see him leaning towards either clementines - lower acidity, a little sweeter, and juicy af, cause no one can tell me this man doesn't like to slurp and suck and fully engage his senses via tongue diving into that fruit when he's not being watched (get your minds out of the gutter i see you all out there) or possibly a blood orange considering how complex the flavors of those are - subtly sweet, but also kinda tangy like raspberries and cherries.
HE CAN LOVE CITRUS FRUIT.
But only for the single day it's perfectly ripe.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
#ask response#matt murdock#daredevil#daredevil headcanons#and those are my thoughts on matt and citrus fruits#i made a chart i'm a scientist now

Here's a hilariously self-centered comment for everyone to enjoy
I got this at the end of a chapter where I remind people that launching their amateur Kirkus Reviews career in the comments of a fanfiction without being asked is rude as fuck. (Not Top Gun. I made the author's note after a person reacted with utter scandal and dismay to ONE sentence referencing a protag sleeping with someone outside the pairing before they even met)
Highlights
"Hmm"
"Ffn encourages criticism so writers can improve" Girl WHAT. ~*~fanfiction dot com has a culture of criticism~*~ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. ITS CULTURE IS YAOI, BAD SEX, AND WORSE FORMATTING
The assumption that everyone is writing fanfiction "to improve" [in a way this person approves of, naturally]. Sorry, some people post things that are full of mistakes because they don't give a shit, and neither should you! Click that back button, babe!
"Maybe the people over at ffn are more the university grad type?" LASKDJFLASK girl PLEASE for the love of god give me some of what you're smoking. This is my favorite line. It is shirt-worthy
Big Cringe[tm] all around
"Your talk of hurt feelings strikes me as kinda immature" is this flirting
"HMM"
"It could be a difference in educational background and/or age" oh my goooood the Cringe. The condescension. The possibility that this wasn't even MEANT to be mean, but EARNEST, which is even more Cringe.
I'M the one being immature. The 20+ year fandom veteran informing people that critiquing fanworks without solicitation is and always has been rude as fuck. Not you, the oblivious, self-important grad student condescending to me because you think I ought to expect and desire [yours, naturally] criticism.
The implication that I am less educated than they are. I'm willing to bet the possibility I could be more educated did not even cross their mind.
The absolutely unsubtle classism dripping from every word
And while we're critiquing without asking, (and treating judgment of people's writing as the Default Reading Experience) I will point out the spelling of "caveat" as "creveate" despite the fact that this comment was edited at least once. Come onnnnnnn.
They didn't even criticize anything! Their single comment on this story before I replied, froze the thread as a monument to their sins, blocked them, and nailed their corpse to the wall, was THIS. They spent time saying THIS instead of literally anything else. An undesired opinion, responding to my post about not wanting undesired opinions.
Pitiful.
Literary critique is a skill. It is not a selection of negative observations written using big words. It is not a list of likes or dislikes. It is not suggestion itself. It is a skill, and a difficult one to develop at that. The fact that your English teachers always made you "peer edit" other students' essays does not make you a real critic. Go to the bars and calm the fuck down. Talk to a single human being who isn't also in your ENG 680 class.

4 years ago I sent this to a complete stranger…. I have no idea why I sent it or why it is completely deranged but I sent it and 4 years later we are probably closer than two people 1,000 miles away could be
Kaz it’s been 4 years, 1,461 days, that have been the best days of my life, because you have been in them. You are my oracle, my rock, and the other half of my brain. I have no idea what I did to be so lucky to have met you.
In the first days of our friendship I think we wrote 4 peer reviewed papers just on Ezra Standish alone. I don’t think I ever told you this but I saved some (most) (for at least the first week) of our messages in a word doc because I liked rereading our convos. You are still just as verbose and detailed as you were back then and I consider myself so lucky to be able to read about your OCs and Aus whenever you get a hankering to share (which is fortunately often)
You have made me grow in so many ways, with your kindness and your snark. I strive to be as good a friend to you as you are to me. You’ve broaden my tastes to the moon (Fire and Ice and The Eagle are still burned into my brain) (Special mention to Rem Lezar and those eps of Rawhide because I can’t put those psychological horrors in this category but I wanted to mention it because they would have been good cause to lose my number... and yet)
Kaz this message could probably last at least 3,000 words, when it probably needs just three, I love you, I honestly believe it’s more than love, it is just a natural part of my heart, that you now inhabit. There is not a quality that you’ve shown me that I don’t love, from your strong convictions (that have rubbed off on me), your imagination that knows few bounds, and especially your patience. You are probably more important to me then you know and I hope I give as much as I get because you deserve it. Kaz you are the whole package plus about 6 other packages that I didn’t expect but happily unwrapped
I remember in 2022 when our friendship went from a casual, still very close but casual relationship, to what it is today. Our first watch party was the last two eps from Our Flag means Death season 1. What babies we were back then, there was little talking (due to how we watched but still) there was no screaming no brain melting a far cry from today. Our Saturday nights have always been sacred to me and I will/have bent over backwards to not miss them, they make getting through the week an easy task because I know I will be able to hang out with you for approximately 4-8 hours which sounds crazy and is crazy. Anyway now in 2024 I literally can’t imagine a day we aren’t in contact (I still get soft when I remember that week where I barely had the energy to open your messages and yet you were here on Tumblr being a bright spot which i definitely needed) And I get to have that everyday even if it’s just a check in or a in-depth psychology analysis on Jess Harper I get to have the pleasure of talking to you which is priceless.
One more thing Kaz when I met you I didn’t have close friends I had a couple but they felt very hollow and it was hard to communicate with them sometimes, due to my Visions TM (it’s probably the autism but I’ll blame Visions and not how my brain functions) my real world friends did not share my interest in Gay cowboys or weird shows from the 70s so I felt very alone for a long time but then I threatened a random Incorrect quotes blog and I found someone I could make a home out of a multitude of fandoms with. You will have no idea what an impact you’ve made on me. And I hope we have at least 80,000 more anniversaries that we can share
I could go on, I should go on because I definitely don’t think I talked enough about how perfect you are and literally you are perfection but this has to come to an end for one our sakes lol. Kaz you really are the breath under my wings and I want to make sure you never forget just how much I cherish you
I am so excited to see you in person in 144 days!!!
@incorrect-gunslingers
#I’ll see you Saturday my love#does 8 paragraphs mean I win?#I was listening to your playlist while I wrote this becasue i wanted the right amount of feels to write this#sorry for not mentioning our sons I was going to I swear#I wrote a rough draft at work and like none of it made it in lol#4 year anniversary#AND YES I SCHEDULED THIS ON THE EXACT MINUTE I SENT THE MESSAGE BECAUSE IM A SAP#im so excited to watch trapeze with you (i know i keep saying this but its true)#okay so I was gonna post this at 105 BUT ITS 105 your time and 1205 my time#I think

☕️- if you feel like it, the spectrum from deeply academic to un-canon-based in meta? You described it a bit in your various meta posts, and your views sounded interesting...
I think this kind of misidentifies the potential spectrum actually! I don't think "academic" > "based in non-canon" is necessarily a logical progression. Whether or not a piece of work is "academic" has more to do with its form, proximity to things recognised as "academia" in terms of distribution, and/or perceptions of what it means to originate "from and for fandom", IMO. All of these things are variable, too. Is something which accurately invokes critical theory enough to call it "academic"? In some fandoms, yes- and in some fandoms, maybe not. (I always go back to this as a kind of logical extreme, but Tolkien acafandom expects more than just "doing literary theory" IME to be called "academic", whereas I think if you wrote an essay in TF fandom explicitly using poststructuralist frameworks, that would count in that fannish context as "academic". The distinction is (sub)cultural as much as anything, I think, based on expectations of what an imagined baseline is.)
It is very possible to write highly academic work that is accepted as such which I'd argue is based more on cultural reception than "canonical" textual analysis, and it is possible to write using modes of analysis that are extremely idiosyncratic to fandom which are frankly reverent of the idea of Canon Lore TM. What is "academic" is something that is often distinguished by ideas about form, norms, even prestige and a perceived "legitimacy" more than close adherence to text. Similarly, if fandom has a reputation for anything, it's at least as often a slavish (even unhelpful) adherence to "lore" and "canon" in the abstract as it is a tendency towards fandom-telephone-fanon, right? (Think of all the folks out there who will write 6 hour youtube essays ignoring blatant symbolism in favour of working out the diagetic 'explanation' for things in canons where the work clearly requests a certain amount of emotional interpretation and generosity.)
It's why articulating what makes meta "academic" and what academic analysis does or doesn't get to be "meta" so hard. It's partly a judgement passed on any given work by the consensus of fannish norms in whatever cultural fandom. You can paint some broad strokes (meta has to meaningfully originate from within and be intended for fandom folks, academic work has to engage with something clearly originating from a framework culturally recognised as academic), but. There's no clear answer. I do think some things (hyperdiagetic analysis that treats characters as somehow existing independent of their texts for fannish transformative purposes) are clearly outside any academic framework, like there are types of analysis that are distinctly fandom-derived that are of no real use to academia. Or external observations of fandom as subculture that are clearly not for the in-group (even when produced by members of that ingroup) that are clearly not meta. But at the risk of chickening out of an obvious answer, it's so contextual. The lines are blurry! I routinely read a peer-reviewed journal that started as a literal Tolkien fanzine! They still produce an actual fanzine in addition to that! Are the works in that used-to-be-a-fanzine meta? If they aren't, when did they stop counting? If they are, do we consider peer-reviewed journal articles for e.g. Transformers "meta"? What's the difference? It's an interesting question, more interesting I think than setting up that imagined spectrum.

I have a BA in psychology and I'm in my grad psychology program, if you are already on a psychoactive medication like ketamine for your treatment I do not recommend taking a non-prescribed non-regulated psychedelic as it can have a great potential to have a SEVERELY negative reaction with the treatment. Crossing two strong substances is already a risk and pairing it with a condition such as yours is a severe risk to your well-being and can potentially have negative effects on the treatment and harm it's true effectiveness in treating your condition
Also unless it's being prescribed and carefully monitored by a doctor do not take such a risky medication treatment such as psychedelic mushrooms especially if you are already on a strong medication treatment like ketamine
Also there have been reports of people who have taken psychedelic hallucinogens developing a condition called HPPD Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder. Rare but can be extremely distressing this basically means the high goes away but the hallucinations stay ((to sum it up please read more into it using the DSM-V (DSM-V TR) empirical and peer-reviewed reliable sources from academic sources not just basic websites ))
Urge your family to think empirically and objectively, just because it works for one person does not mean it will work with you specifically
1. Has there been proven cases of crossing these two treatments going negatively and causing any form of harm on the patient (including emotional and mental)
2. Is the dosage meant for the patient specifically to take into account the patients height, weight, sex,age and medications and treatments they are on with the full knowledge, prescription and observation from the doctors administering the already prescribed treatment/medication to ensure full safety and well-being and highest level of benefit and least level of harm (even potential) to patient
3. Is this under the watchful eye of the doctors
4. If this is an experiment, is the IRB knowledgeable of this experiment? does it follow the APA ethics codes? Will taking another substance harm the integrity of the experiments results? Has the participant been fully informed of the risks, dangers and benefits of this trial including the risk of Crossing another powerful substance with an already powerful substance that is prescribed and carefully monitored by a doctor? Has this been successfully replicated more than once on multiple occasions with multiple participants over a long period of time that differs and mimics the others to ensure full validity and reliability? What is the most recent research? Not just supportive to the opinion but contradictory to the opinion?
5. Is the patient at all comfortable with such treatment? ((Meaning adding a (prescribed or not) psychedelic to a ketamine treatment)) do they understand completely what this means and the risks and benefits?
Sorry it's long but please do not take the shrooms it's super dangerous
Don’t worry my last ketamine infusion was June! I absolutely would not combine those two and my practitioner wouldn’t allow it. I don’t smoke weed, drink, or take benzos within five days of an infusion. Also I’m not enough of a dumb ass to lie to a doctor that’s putting me under anesthesia.
HPPD is something I’m terrified of and why I don’t do recreational drugs. I’ve been pressured insistently to microdose for years and since TMS is the next step, I decided to try because I was told I wasn’t going to hallucinate (which I did). For so long I told family members that combining hallucinogenics with bipolar was dangerous, even in small doses. They did pressure me to trying mushrooms while I was still getting infusions which I outright denied for obvious reasons. I should have just stood my ground because it’s my body and they aren’t physicians but they wore me down.
The trip was like a migraine minus the headache, but with stronger visuals. I don’t know yet if I regret it, but I’m relieved I can tell them to fuck off.

hey, this is my first time sending an ask here so im kinda nervous but I just thought you might find this interesting. i was doing the confusion ending earlier and when i was following the adventure line(tm) i got this super weird glitch where it looked like I teleported a few steps ahead of where i was and everything looked choppy for a second? i dont really know how to describe it but it happened right by the peer reviews room. then i tried to do the confusion ending again and the game crashed just as the narrator was about to reset and im??? ok buddy, thats not a reset, you just kicked me out lol
I GOT SOMETHING SIMILAR LOL it bugged out the second I tried to enter the peer review room, he got cut off at one point in his Wall Room dialogue but no crash. I think narrys toying with us in different ways LMAO

ALSO LIKE, learn to interpret peer reviewed articles and learn to figure out if an article was actually peer reviewed or not. A quick google search of the journal in question should tell you about it's peer review process - there are some journals that anyone can get into if you pay enough, and some journals that don't have as rigorous a peer review process, and of course peer review for all its benefits isn't PERFECT, so some stuff will slip through the cracks.
Just because you read something in a journal article - peer reviewed or not - doesn't make it 100% True Fact (tm). The process of science is an ever changing one. I would also recommend to try to keep your research up to date, within the past 10 years if possible.
The more you read science, the more you'll come across the odd article where you're like "how did they draw THAT conclusion from THAT data?!" lol
BUT peer reviewed articles (and primary sources, in the cases of historical documents) are always going to be your most trustworthy sources of information. Not social media influencers. Not even Rattus N0rvegicus Dot Tumblr Dot Com. Peer reviewed articles.
#like inb4 someone cites Dr Colin A Ross as a source lmao#I see RESEARCHERS doing it sometimes and it's like aughhh no that man is unethical and draws his patient databases from#HIS OWN HOSPITALS OF PATIENTS HE TREATS

By identifying high-potential employees and nurturing their skills through targeted development initiatives, organizations can ensure a steady pipeline of future leaders, mitigating succession risks.

Engaged employees are more likely to stay committed to their roles and contribute positively to organizational goals. Talent development software facilitates ongoing feedback, recognition, and opportunities for growth, fostering a culture of engagement and retention.
