Pikachu has something important to say.

I’m actually so disappointed in myself

I was scrolling through this Facebook group I’m in and one of the memes stands out. I stare at it, I’m not even reading the funny words. I recognize it, deep in my soul.

Immediately, I scour the web (I go to internet archives) and look up what I believe to be the true origins— I look up “Unus Annus”. Episode 2: Cooking with Sex Toys.

And… it’s there.

Everything within me settles. I knew I’d recognize it. I knew it. It’s Ethan making eggs with a vibrator.

I’m sorry but I can’t get the idea of Tank having a stutter out of my head. I think during the fight with Quinn when he attacked their friend, Quinn hit Tank too hard in the head. David and Asher bolt in, just before Quinn sends another blow. Seeing he’s now slightly outmatched, Quinn flees (like the coward he is), leaving a very disoriented Tank on the ground. They can barely talk, barely know what’s going—clearly suffering from head trauma. They start stuttering and it doesn’t go away.

Tank, who used to be such a spitfire, so quick to retaliate with cunning insults and creative threats, so used to speaking their mind and trying to get the last word in, is now struggling to sound out even one sentence. It demolishes them. After Quinn has taken so much, he’s now taken this too. Tank feels permanently marked, in more ways than one. David and Asher and Milo, with all the best intentions, just don’t know how to help them. They urge Tank to seek speech therapy (or any therapy, really). They cut into Tank’s sentences, trying to help finish their thoughts but unintentionally speaking for them. It’s a big reason why they leave for so long. The shame and the embarrassment is too much, not to mention the looks of pity from everyone in the pack that Tank can’t even tell them to wipe off their faces. When they’re away, they barely talk at all. Mostly head shakes and nods and single stuttered words. They go months and months without speaking. I think that’s why they start resorting to more violence. Nobody can misinterpret or speak over a punch to the gut.

When they finally return home, the first person they speak to is Sam. Their first interaction, though tense, feels different. Sam doesn’t finish Tank’s sentences for them. Doesn’t interrupt. Doesn’t give sympathetic looks or roll his eyes. He’s only concerned about the security threat in front of him, and he’ll wait all damn night to figure out why they’re there and how to get them off Solaire land. He’s…patient. But not condescendingly or self-righteously so.

As Tank finds themself spending more and more time with Sam, they begin talking. It’s not much, but it’s more than before. And Sam is quiet and patient every time. He never tries to persuade Darlin’ to go to speech therapy. He does gently push them to speak more—but not to get rid of or “fix” their stutter. He just wants to hear them, wants them to feel confident to say what’s on their mind. Although their stutter does subside a bit as they begin talking again, it never fully leaves. Darlin’ grows to accept it. It becomes a part of them. It’s just a scar in a different form, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

redacted audio fans how are we doin tonight?

[gaymattsharp]

when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive EightYear Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

You get it!

playing the Touchstarved demo feels like that iconic tumblr post about that guy who felt really out of place in his friend group for ages until he realised that they were all in a polyamorous relationship together except him

[sylvermoths]

This is why it's moving around in there

[hinotorihime]

hey let's start spreading the reminder now that you cannot safely self-manage an abortion with herbal medicine or essential oils. natural abortifacients function by poisoning you; you wait for your body to realize you're dying and reject the pregnancy in order to conserve resources, and hope that happens before the rest of your organs shut down.

i think there will be an upsurge soon of unscrupulous and/or malicious actors preying on desperate pregnant people; do not help them kill people. don't spread recipes for herbal medicines or ingestible essential oil mixtures that purport to cause a pregnancy termination.

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:

-2/3 of Senators (60)

-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)

-3/4 of the states (38)

In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.

Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

[iamnmbr3]

This is so important. Also pay attention to local elections. Now more than ever it's important to have staunch anti Trump democrats at every level of government - from school boards to senate seats. Apathy and not voting helped Trump win. Now is the time to wake up and get serious and hold on to the freedoms we have left. We have got to fight for every inch of territory. Do not give up. Do not give him any more power than he already has.

Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?

That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.

Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.

Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.

[thebreakfastgenie]

What happened is that version of feminism got coopted by corporate interests that rendered it toothless and it stopped being about women at all. The women who are saying they hate men and want nothing to do with them now are for the most part just trying to protect themselves. They're just done dealing with men and want out. After the US election men have been gleefully tweeting about controlling women's bodies and rape. Right now we're being constantly reminded how much men (as a class) hate women.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

Contact Us | The White House

Contact the President, Vice President, get help with a Federal Agency, or request a Presidential Greeting.

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.
