it’s funny bc I think I have a lot to learn, with blindspots that I’m still trying to fill in by reading more and talking to people etc, but when I’m hanging around certain family members I suddenly become The Wokest Person Alive just by merit of having made some attempt to not be shitty. and this isn’t level 3 discourse like “conflating submissiveness with a preference for bottoming is misogynistic”, it’s basic shit like “no, health is not a state of mind, and sick people are sick for reasons beyond bad attitude,” and “no, you should not loudly talk about how shocked you were that a Nigerian man was at grandma’s funeral,” and “please don’t say that about Jewish people,” and so on.

and usually they are willing to listen when I talk about this stuff, so there is a benefit to me being there, but holy crap is it a tonal shift going from online to real life.

hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck

never not thinking abt this

fun fact - I took this screenshot back in 2018 so it's not that, the guy's name is Ross Draws and he's sucked for a lot longer than that

[sabertoothwalrus]

thank youuuuuu I’ve been seeing a lot of people lately confidently claim art is ai when it was very clearly drawn by a person.

yes, all the changes to the reference were intentional and deliberate and I think that’s important context here

A completely predictable mess.

i know everyone is tired of hearing it from me but i'll never be free from how people think you can only ship a het ship WOKELY if the man is a pathetic useless idiot and the girl babysits and pegs him and has the personality of a door. i promise you won't get your woke card revoked if you spend five minutes of your time to consider the girl has a personality and the guy might be a competent person. and maybe she likes getting dicked down and is a little pathetic too. have you considered also liking the girl and maybe wanting her to be a spoiled baby too? also I'll Kill You

When I was in undergrad, there was a time when I had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I would I work on MWF. While there was that one week I had to take off from work to write my final essays, in general I had better time management skills on the times when I had to work part-time while going to school than when I decided to just not work at all and focus on school.

I think I having more free time just let me procrastinate for too long. But I also think doing manual labor in between reading and analyzing texts relaxes you.

Adam "TheBrometheus" Lane Smith is a Marriage and Family Therapist and self-described "author, expert, and media personality" who makes his living off of selling coaching and courses based in attachment types theory.

I cannot find any actual scientific backing for this claim that "you are overusing some parts of your brain and underusing others," or any evidence for the methods he provides here. Importantly, "left brain vs right brain" is bullshit (you use both sides of your brain for all tasks) and I do not trust the brain science advice of someone who thinks its true.

I mean. Seriously. "If you are worn out by heavy emotional tasks, go to the gun range????????" Or martial arts? Where is the evidence that "something visceral" (which means what exactly) is what helps with emotional burnout, and why are his only two suggestions for that "do something violent" as opposed to like. Skydiving, or getting into running? Also, if we're supposed to be doing the "opposite" (again, defined by what) of what is burning us out (what if its multiple things? seems like a pretty obvious thing to bring up) then why would the solution to creative burnout be to engage in stories of a different genre, which would... also be using the "creative parts of our brain"? Why would genre matter if this is about brain parts?

This seems to me like pop neuroscience that just sounds true, and is banking on the reality that burnout (which is caused by many different things for different people) isn't cured by going on vacation. That isn't because of how your brain is being used or not used, it is because we live in Real Actual Hell (capitalist imperialist modernity) and even if you can get the rest you need to have some positive effect on your burnout, that shit is then negated by returning to the environment that burned you out. Because of the Real Actual Hell of it all. And like, yes, obviously if you are constantly doing one thing every day and its draining the life out of you, having Other Things you do that you enjoy and give you energy and stimulation will feel good and be helpful. That can be true without any of the shit he's saying being true.

Classic pop pseudoscience takes a real problem, and real things that some people find genuinely helpful, and then creates a theory that ties the two together with a sprinkling of actual (often outdated or decontextualized) science, and all of that makes people feel like it must be grounded in scientific truth. Do not trust the health advice of random people on Xitter saying shit with confidence.

@hyperlexichypatia I know you talk a lot about shitty brain science, I'd be curious if you have anything to say on this.
