I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

There was a parenting-kids-with-trauma book I remember running into around 2010 (I was not and am still not a parent, but I am an older sibling) that had a lovely little slogan I like to quote all the time:

“It’s not about the Cheerios.”

This was in reference to a story about a kid flipping the HELL out into a full-blown panic about running out of their favorite cereal. Not a tantrum, not a whine-fest, but an all-hands-on-deck, code-red, world-is-ending blowup.

The kid had originally come from a very unstable situation and experienced food deprivation. The new adoptive parents were stumped, because look at all the other food! You’re safe! We can get the Cheerios tomorrow!

But it wasn’t really about the Cheerios, it was about that first flicker of unease triggering all the old trauma. From the outside, it looked ridiculous. To the trauma-trained reaction of the kid’s brain, it made perfect sense.

Human brains are weird, and we’re all out here trying to survive. Sometimes our brains do this in socially acceptable, convenient ways. But not often.

(The book was titled “Beyond Logic, Consequences or Control” I think, I’ll look it up and edit this in a bit.)

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

If you’re not aware, Canvas was hacked. Canvas is a service that allows schools professors to grade assignments and students to do assignments online. It also has a built in email system.

So like 200 million people worldwide were affected by this hack, including me, who takes all of my classes online through Canvas. To be extra cautious my school isn’t letting us use it until Monday so I’m just lying here on my bed staring at the ceiling wondering if my professors are gonna count my assignments as late anyways.

I can’t know. The canvas email system for our school is down.

Weird that my personal information was possibly hacked and my current concern is exactly how stupid my professors are gonna be about this whole situation but that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth.

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away

It's really quite bizarre how much work in trans healthcare bases itself on the idea that a patient who deliberately seeks out the Penis Removal Doctor and says "Yes, Penis Removal Doctor, I am certain that I would like to have my penis removed" might be lying to the Penis Removal Doctor, so that they can have their penis removed without actually wanting that.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Fun fact: The vast majority of people who have a penis are terrified of losing their penis. There is a whole cultural Thing about that, and deliberately going to the Penis Removal Doctor in the first place is a strong indicator of wanting to end up without a penis.

“nobody wants to work anymore” WRONG! bosses do not want to pay people appropriately for their labor

I think it would be funny to write a murder mystery where not only did every single character involved have an obvious motive to kill this mf, they were actually all attempting to murder him first, but the murder attempts all cancelled each other out all except for one. Two people tried to poison him but the poisons just happen to work as antidotes for each other, and instead of killing him only gave him the shits, and due to having the shits he couldn't go hunting that day like he had planned, foiling the plans of the one who had conditioned his favourite hunting horse to panic and bolt at the cue of a whistle, and the other murder attempt of tampering with his gun so that it would have exploded his whole face off.

The whole mystery isn't about who could have done it or how, but who was the one who got lucky and actually succeeded.

Have you ever wondered how tech technicians recover data from faulty flash and memory whose data cannot be recovered by normal methods.
