[cass-without-the-andra]

Waddup this is ma blog! I'm Cass, or Cassie, and I like rocks and puns and a whole random bunch of fandoms that I've accumulated over the years and like to keep here and collect stuff from like my own personal internet trash museum (affectionate). I have a whole sideblog just for dishonored stuff, which is @a-song-of-rats-and-whales.

Terfs and anti-vaxxers dni, I will block on sight.

I've previously been known on this site as crispymew, chonundrum and maybe at one time wrathoftheaxolotl but I honestly can't remember. Oki byeee ^-^

one day they'll make the person on earth who's the most neurotypical. so neurotypical they can perfectly pick up on every tiny behavioral cue. every minute eye twitch. even through the phone. even via text. they'll put the whole picture together and detect every lie. moreover they'll detect even when people are lying to themselves and when people are lying via incomplete truth. they'll be so neurotypical that they will cut to the heart of every matter & have a perfect world-model of everyone they interact with. no one will be able to lie to them. and then they will work in fraud monitoring at a bank

[lohboh]

can you imagine you wake up one day in a dark room chained to a radiator with your phone at 1% and you unlock it and find that you've been added to this community

[shin-zaibatsu]

The first thing you do in that situation is open Tumblr?

[lohboh]

Where the hell else would I post about being chained to a radiator, fucking Bluesky?

[homoidiotic]

updated the link to his autobiography because it was broken! here's some more pictures of him (first is mid 90s, second 2013 and last 2024)

there's an interview with him from 2017 along with some information about his life and activism. and he was interviewed on a podcast here. he's not super well known but has been a really important trans activist for decades

[fruityculture]

Every day i think about those black musicians whose songs were made into covers by white people and now everyone thinks that these are the originals. Youtube comment sections are full of people like "is this what it feels like to find out you're adopted?" instead of celebrating and promoting the original creators of the songs.

Little Eva - Loco-Motion

Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing in the Streets

James Ray - I've Got My Mind Set On You

Big Mama Thornton - Hound Dog

Somebody in a Twitch stream chat was trying to insult a streamer by saying, "You're almost 40, and you've only gotten a tarot card reading once?" And I don't know, I'm still amused by this. I'm in my late 20s and I've also only had a tarot card reading once. One of those ones on the street you pay for. The guy doing my tarot card reading was like, "You're going to join the military," or something like that, and 15 year old me thought to myself, "Okay, well that's not true. So I guess I just got scammed," and then I just never got a tarot card reading since then.

[bowsersex]

Military recruiter who pretends to be a tarot card reader so he can tell every person who gets their future read by him and they'll be joining the military in the future.

[allegedly-human]

nonsense words such as "blorbo" and "skibidi" are outliers and a minuscule minority and thus do not invalidate that statement

[minihood31770]

Skibidi coming from scat, an art form pioneered by black people, is actually AAVE, and not an outlier.

[caprart1]

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

[amyrosedefensesquad]

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.
