Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.
relentlessly funny to me when people treat a relationship between someone in their 30s and someone in their 40s as "age difference". bro i cannot tell you which of my friends are 34 and which are 44. i can probably tell you which ones aren't 30 yet, but it's probable some of them are 50 now and i didn't notice. if you're over 30 and don't have kids, it's kinda all one age until you can collect social security.
I think what’s wrong with a lot of people is they’re not eating breakfast. They’re starting the day with at most 16 ounces of milk with espresso and riding on that until lunch time. What they don’t understand is eating breakfast helps absorb all the excess yellow bile that builds up overnight when they sleep and makes them angry. It’s basic humor balancing
You know what I fucking eat up every time? The thing where one character is an optimist and the other is a pessimist, and something happens that just, snuffs the hope right out of the optimist, and the pessimist has to desperately try to do what the other has always done for them, cheer them up. I live for that shit omg.
sick post i just found online. sorry i couldnt find the source
if this gets more notes than the memedaddy repost it would be really funny actually

its kinda hard to celebrate trans day of visibility because the visibility we're getting lately is like
dude.
i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me
when i was taking my first year anatomy lab, we’d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order, and when we’d ask our prof about it, he’d just shrug and say “they must not have read the book”
When my friend was in med school one of the cadavers donated for them to autopsy didn't have a belly button, just smooth skin.
In the past 10 years of teaching in an anatomy lab, I have seen:
- A donor with a scrotum the size of my head. When we opened it up, we discovered it was a MASSIVE inguinal hernia and a good 1.5 ft of intestine were trapped down there.
- A donor with situs inversus totalis, whose organs were a mirror image of what we normally see (ie their heart pointed right and their liver was on the left, just for starters)
- A donor whose right common carotid artery branched off the aorta waaay over on the left hand side of the body and crossed alllll the way back across the thorax to get where it needed to be.
- A donor with 4 lobes for their right lung (should only be 3). We named the 4th lobe the Lisa Loeb, but all of the students were too young to appreciate our sparkling wit.
- A shocking variety of penile and breast implants. Y'all would not believe the number of different ways science has come up to counteract gravity.
- A couple of cases of ectopic kidneys, where a kidney didn't rise to its typical position just deep to the lowest ribs and instead stayed in the pelvis.
There is probably some other stuff that I am forgetting. Take home point is: the human body is weird and wonderful and you should learn more about yours!
....duuude.

My contribution: client co pinched nerve in L side of neck. I asked about health hx; she said, “I've got some extra ribs on that side.”
me: “some?” (!!!!!??!?!??!???)
Some was 2, but that’s crazy enough.
Yeah, I don't discover the anatomical weirdness but I've had clients come in with extra ribs, missing ribs, extra vertebra, accessory muscles (that's when you have duplicates - sometimes fine, sometimes not), bones connected where they shouldn't be (spoiler: if your lumbar spine is connected to your hip, it Causes Problems), all sorts of stuff. Bodies are weird!
More from the notes
This made me remember that I had a friend in high school who had one thumb that was like half an inch shorter than the other. Not sure how that happened.
even the things you never think about are a spectrum
Hey! Spin this wheel of Every Pokémon!
This is now your Pokémon Partner. Whatever you would want to do in the Pokémon world, your Result goes with you. It would be your Ace in Battles and/or contests or they might just help you around with your regular Not-Inherently-Pokémon Job or just hang around your house as your beloved Pet. If you really really want to BE a Pokémon than this is the Pokémon you just turned into.
How are you feeling about it?
HELL YEAH!! THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE POKEMON!!
OH!! I LOVE THIS POKEMON!!
Yeah, this Pokemon is great!!!
This Pokemon is good!!
This Pokemon is nice, but nothing more
...I mean, it could be better
This Pokemon is okay…
I have mixed feelings about this Pokemon…
Not bad, but I’m still kinda disappointed…
Well… it could be worse?
I mean, at least it’s better than NOT having a Pokemon, right?
OH NO THIS IS ACTUALLY WORSE!!

Support a Class Action Lawsuit of Tumblr for its Discrimination of Transfems
I have created a Discord server to, well, do what is in the title of this post. Please join to support this movement, and please reblog for reach. I will not be able to do this on my own.
Check out the Transfem Tumblr Class Action Lawsuit Organising community on Discord – hang out with 2 other members and enjoy free voice and
If you cannot or do not want to join this Discord but want to support, please DM me instead to see what you can do.
If you were affected by the recent ban wave or any other moderation action, please either join the Discord or message @transfeminist-action to let us know! We are still working on the lawsuit, we have not just gone down quietly. We've starting speaking with lawyers at this point, and have monthly meetings available to anyone on the server to help guide our progress.
If you can't join the Discord, please follow the linked blog instead! We are setting up monthly announcements and more on that blog. We also have a Bluesky account by the same name if you wish to follow that instead.
I’m working on this whole series of articles on the birth of fandom in the 1930s to basically get across an idea that can be summarized in a couple paragraphs:
The way people approach rebuilding the internet is backwards. What people usually do is they start by making a neocities site, or a forum, or something like that, and then they try to attract people to it. Then, almost every time, nobody shows up and they get discouraged and give up (or it ends up being a solo project.)
If you want to rebuild thriving community spaces online, the community comes first. That means the group of people you want to build a space for needs to already exist. Organizing people is always the same, whether it’s a union, a party, or an online community. It comes down to doing the work of talking to individual people, getting them interested, then bringing them together into a space (such as a group chat), and trying to get those people to become a stable group.
Then, once you have a stable group, you make a neocities site that meets their needs, you make a forum to give them room to grow. The people have to come first. There is no getting around that.
This is the trick for if you want to start something that doesn’t already exist. The majority of subcultures and communities are splinters of other subcultures and communities. Starting a new thing from scratch takes a lot more work, and some magic.
The first science fiction convention was 18 people.
I need to add the rest of @simiantrousers' comment thread, it’s all SO good:
It's hard for me to imagine what fandom feels like for people who came to it after the advent of social media. The massive and progressively mainstream state of modern fandom online is so different from even the Livejournal era. It's larger but lonelier than ever. I've always found my way from small subgroup to small subgroup, because that's what I was familiar with from the start, but many newcomers will have never known fandom as something that can be small and intimate or how to approach finding or establishing a subgroup.
I can see the same inverted approach to community-building when people lament lack of engagement with fanworks. I don't begrudge anyone wanting comments or reblogs, of course! But I think a reduction in engagement is a symptom of the degradation of fandom community rather than the disease. When people feel like they're part of a community, they're more likely to meaningfully interact with creative endeavors shared within that community! Without the context of community, a creative work is just content to consume. Without a sense of community, a fanwork is no different to a person than an original work, and very few people actively review and share every book, movie, or piece of art they consume.
People are creating and posting fan content as a bid for community and getting discouraged and sometimes giving up if they don't receive enough engagement. But engagement isn't community. Comments are encouragement, but they're not community. Reblogs are increased visibility, but that's not community either. For me, posting a fanwork is the endpoint of a community process, not the beginning. For me it starts with bouncing ideas around with my subgroup until something sticks. Then we help each other refine our ideas, cheer each other on, offer constructive criticism, edit for each other, etc. I create for and with my community, so when I post a completed work, any engagement from outside my community is just a bonus.
I think a lot of fan creators these days have lost the community in their creative process and are trying to fill the hole with post-creation engagement. But if you want more engagement then you need to build the community FIRST. And just encouraging people to comment and reblog more is not going to build a community. It's a losing battle.
All I would like to add is that none of this is limited to fandom - it's true of online communities and art of all kinds.
the cops are trying to sue afroman for invasion of privacy bc he used the cctv footage of them stealing and breaking shit and going through his fridge for his music video "Will You Help Repair My Door?"
HE WON!!!
dukat is obsessed with sisko because as the emissary he’s everything dukat has always dreamed and pretended to be to the bajoran people with all his “the bajoran people are like my children” and sexually harassing every bajoran woman in his life and then LITERALLY BECOMING BAJORAN to rise to the top of their religious structure. insane.
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal
Soooo...those tables at the Replimat? Pretty small imo. 🤔
