I wanted to reply to a thread with "reassuring hand grasp", and I find myself in awe at the amount of bandwidth that hands have, as tools of expression https://t.co/pMlNLv5M7f
hands are kinda like micro-people https://t.co/euGcpHoYKJ

iirc most of us use our hands more than anything else. we use them to tap and touch and swipe and scroll and squeeze and point. i feel vaguely like i've read something about how hands -> tools -> brain dev -> consciousness. a bit of a stretch, but I like it https://t.co/wRUQysJoT5
when I think of God Of War, I think of this scene – Kratos learning to be tender with his son. It's especially powerful because Kratos had a shitty, abusive, violent dad (Zeus), and until now has mostly used his (extremely powerful) hands to murder and destroy. Hands, man https://t.co/eH8z9dgncp

there's so much going on here. open, close, almost open again, close, cover mouth, cover more face https://t.co/ywmXQ1cUl7
another classic. how many micro-gestures is that? there is so much nuance in non-verbal communication that we seldom consciously realize https://t.co/1jgGNhBrVz
