My brain, having a meltdown like a toddler: I just can’t do it! I don’t want to !! I can’t!! Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Take a deep breath, it’s going to be ok. We don’t have to do everything today that’s overwhelming you. Let’s pick the most important thing to work on, ok? What’s the smallest step we can do to work towards that? My toddler brain, wiping away tears: Um, I think we should…open up the important spreadsheet and look at the first row. Me, parenting my tired toddler brain: Great! Let’s do that, and then we can have a popsicle, ok? My toddler brain: *nods through drying tears, upset, but cooperative*

THIS IS HOW YOU MINDFULLY ACCEPT YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS, THOUGH.

I’m a clinical psychologist, and I use this example with literally everyone I work with where the goal is to give thoughts and feelings space in a non-judgmental way. We literally never grow out of this need for compassion, but when we become adults we must become skilled in giving that same compassion to ourselves.

This is emotional regulation and as an ADHD person who grew up in an ADHD household, I *had no idea how it worked or how to do it* until I started working with my current therapist who was like, “actually relying purely on forcing yourself to do the things that make you sad or upset is not actually a sustainable approach”

christmas eve what about christmas adam

[qoti]

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

[forfuturereferenceonly]

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Yesterday, one of my preschoolers came up to me very concerned, and said, “Miss ____, this book doesn’t have any pages!”

Now, this kid is only three, and I can’t always understand what he says because he’s still so little. However, he carries himself and has the conversational lilt of an 80-year-old academic, so I absolutely believed him. Also, like any library, not all of our books have been as gently used as one might like, so there’s always a chance that the pages of the book this kid was holding actually had fallen out somewhere, and he was only holding the cover. I hurried over to see if this was the case and he opened the book for me, still very concerned.

He had only opened to the end sheet, that blank page at the front of a book. I turned the page for him to reveal the title page. This look of absolute relief crossed his face and he went, “Oh, silly me. I didn’t look hard enough!”

I love kids.

There are some amazing books in the Planescape line, but if you had to have just one, I think my pick might be The Planewalker’s Handbook (1996). It’s a mechanics-light, player facing sourcebook that restates a lot of the core box set in friendly terms and is packed with some of Tony DiTerlizzi’s best artwork for the entire line — there are so many interesting faces in these pages.

Monte Cook is the scribe here and I think Planescape Monte Cook is my favorite Monte Cook. Perhaps it’s just my long-time familiarity with D&D’s cosmology giving me a leg up, but he seems to have a real talent for conveying out-there metaphysical concepts in an easy-to-grasp manner, and he’s at the height of his powers here. He does a particularly good job explaining how magic twists and changes relative to the plane you are on, something central to the setting that the main box makes feel ponderous. Here, it’s still a lot, but you can get a grip on it easier. Overall I get this book in a way that is far deeper than my experience with Manual of the Planes (which this somewhat resembles in presentation) or even some of Cook’s other Planescape books. It’s a great entry point for the entire D&D cosmos.

What mechanics are here are player options — kits, proficiencies, spells, the usual potpourri of 2E offerings. The kits are especially nice. They just take the four core classes and tweak them for existence on the planes — planewalker rogue, planewalker priest and so on. Of course planar warriors are different from prime material sword swingers! It is a weird oversight that this wasn’t included in the original box.

Brian Williams delivers the cover for White Dwarf 70 (October 1985). Again, a clear example of the differing standards in the US and the UK of what is acceptable for a magazine cover because that monster lady looks straight naked. Compare to some of the covers that Dragon Magazine got crap for and the difference is stark. Anyway, I am always down for a skull-faced weirdo, a massive idol and some extra eyeballs. Inside is a cool article for occult themed villains for a superhero game. Nothing else really jumps out at me tho.

Dunaliella salina

Italy-based photographer Paolo Pettigiani shares beautiful shots of the pink algae (Dunaliella Salina) which lives in it. This pink algae can exist in just about any kind of natural body of saltwater and is the main source of nutrition for another common resident of saltwater: a miniscule shrimp called the artémias salina.
