being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.

being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.

partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Thank you, but do you have any advice for teens?

[kuttithevangu]

So my FIRST piece of information if you’re still a teen is that genuinely as you get older it will get easier to regulate your emotions. During adolescence our brains are undergoing a lot of growth and change that genuinely does make it harder to do this, on a scientific level. However, practicing emotional regulation skills can still help a lot and if you can find something that works it will make life easier going forward

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

[transguyjusttrying]

so many people are quick to remove the "trans" descriptor when taking about trans men.

"you don't experience discrimination/bigotry based on your gender, you're a man."

"you couldn't possibly understand how women are objectified, you're a man."

"you don't face medical misogyny, you're a man."

genuine questions for people who believe this: what do you think trans means? how do you think most trans men lived a significant portion of our lives? do you truly believe we're treated the same as cis men, even when we are visibly trans? do you believe that trans men aren't actually trans, or that we're not actually men?

Ik a lot of folks here follow me for my formline designs- so i just wanted to give a shout-out to another formline artist!!

Jessie Everson, another artist I've been following for a bit on insta!! He just opened up his own etsy shop for some of his designs, and while I don't use Etsy a lot, ik how much good reviews and sales factor into the algorithm or whatever that helps genuine sellers stand out from dropshippers (and unfortunately, there are quite a few AI-generated "formline" pieces by dropshippers that float to the top when you keyword search the artstyle)

So consider buying a sticker or two from him and leaving a five star review to help him get a footing on Etsy- I'm sure he'll appreciate it!!
