DIVA ALERT

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

listen to me. i am holding your hand through the screen rn. i was diagnosed with adhd when i was like 6 and i’ve been struggling with it my whole life and it sucks it sucks it sucks so bad i get it. and it won’t go away. but you CAN live with it. it’s not just about being on the right medications, though that was certainly helpful for me: it’s also about learning to understand yourself and work with your brain instead of against it. you have to figure out what works and what doesn’t, you have to find the little victories, investigate, and replicate them until things become bearable. i have spent years building up brain infrastructure that allows me to function better than i ever imagined i could and exactly 0 of that was born from self hatred. you have to let go of your shame. you have to learn to stop applying moral value to your disability. this is not about incompetence: there are things you can do and things you cannot do, and none of that reflects on your moral character or your level of effort. once you figure out how to accept your limits you can work within and around them and the world in front of you will unfurl with possibilities. not the possibilities of someone who doesn’t struggle this way, and i get how disappointing that is, but there ARE possibilities. you have to stop comparing yourself to a neurotypical person if you want it to get better. it cant be perfect but i promise it can get so much better. if hearing that doesn’t help right now that’s okay just hold onto it until it does. we’re all gonna make it. i promise. i promise

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

It has already crumbled. As #SCOTUS nominees they all lied under oath not to touch abortion precedent or birth control. #perjury

The Conservative justices deserve impeachment off the Court. Americans need a righteous non-partisan Court for all.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

The Blessing of Light is something that is intentionally left pretty vague by the story, probably as another way to let the player fill in the gaps with whatever they want, and while sometimes this manifests in the story treating the blessing like a bodysuit of kevlar, I think the much more interesting interpretation is to go full whump with it and establish that the only rule is that the warrior of light cannot die. Aside from the subplot in post-ARR/HW being more interesting with the real threat of death now upon them, it just adds so much sauce. We can magick away the possibility of their head getting chopped off with the superhuman reflexes Hydaelyn hath granted, and so it is very delicious to imagine someone who, rather than being unable to be meaningfully injured, is instead able to just keep going despite catastrophic bodily harm. The warrior of light just keeps fucking going, no matter how much they may wish they were dead. More blood than humanly possible spilling out onto the ground, face pale, hands shaking, still moving with eerie grace and agility, screaming with pain every time they bring another desperate strike down? Thats the good shit.

I recall the devs saying that party wipes in a dungeon are just the WoL having Echo visions on what Not to fucking do, implying that they hallucinate their death repeatedly before triumphing.

Which is equally, "That's rough buddy."
