hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

Physically pains me how unused to affection and positive interactions in general Lake is. We see...

Them be initially uncomfortable with Alan Dracula being affectionate before warming up to him:

Them be extremely awkward and not really know how to handle the mermaids complimenting them:

Them being mildly awkward/surprised when Jesse first hugs them before Lake's expression changes to be more comfortable:

And the one I find most heart-wrenching is in the Lucky Cat Car when Jesse says he wants Lake to leave the train with him. And Lake is genuinely shocked and awkward about it. To the point they feel the need to specify, "you want me to come with you?". Like even after all the time they've spent bonding with Jesse, they're still surprised at the notion that Jesse cares about them enough to want to leave the train together.

It just speaks volumes about how rough Lake has had it. The show just hammers in over and over how surprised and awkward they are when receiving kindness that it makes it clear they’re not used to. Like when you think about it, the only positive interactions Lake got anything close to experiencing was reflecting positive moments in Tulip's life, moments that didn't hold weight or sincerity for them because they fundamentally were intended for Tulip, not Lake. Then from the moment they're free onwards, they're constantly on the run and constantly being harassed by the flecs. Like unless something happened off-screen between books 1-2, Lake really hasn't had the opportunity to have positive interactions like this before AD and Jesse... ever. Sick and twisted, i hate this show.

Because of the tent life and the spread of infectious diseases and many epidemics, she deserves a better life like other children; she has the right to play and study.

If this page suddenly goes silent one day, know that my brother Samer didn’t make it. I will never forget those who saw him suffering from severe bombing injuries, lacking his vital medications, yet chose silence and kept scrolling.

[hazemsuhail]

I feel completely shattered and deeply ashamed begging strangers for help every single day. This endless nightmare has stripped us of everything, forcing me to sacrifice even my own dignity just to keep my brother and my family alive.

[hazemsuhail]

​I want nothing from this world except to see Samer healthy and free of pain, and to save my family from this slow death. Please donate so we can afford his essential psychiatric and medical treatments before it’s too late.

Please Please donate GoFundMe

I swear these donations are our only way out. Please keep supporting us to save my brother Samer. 🙏

Was thinking about how my professor used ai to edit headshots of us to put in the program and how bad they looked.

I looked wrong. My skin was the wrong shade (darker and almost orange), my expression didn’t look good (which may have been my nervousness or the removal of my glasses but it was almost a pained smile). A professional photographer agreed that it didn’t look like me.

Mine wasn’t the worst in the class. There were 2 black cast members and another mixed race and all of them got their skin tones changed as well to make them paler.

Idk if y’all used Dalle-2 before you knew the dangers of ai and back when it still made jank conglomerations of images but I did. I specifically remember at the bottom of it, there was a disclaimer saying that it was drawing from the internet at large and the biases and prejudices there would influence the pictures. And it struck me that this is still the case. But there’s not a warning anymore. And the internet at large is using ai like it’s unproblematic when it’s drawing from the problematic sources too.

Idk I just- hadn’t seen this point made very much and it seemed worth talking about.

Skinny

Pretty

I love to

Skip lines

Just move

Onto the

Punctuation is

Rarely needed

When I

Consider

My writings

An abstract

Mess

Take it

As you will

And read

It in your

Head

Because

No one

Will truly

Understand

What these

Words mean

To you

Or what

They mean

To me

When said

never thought i’d say this, but unironically the among us show was peak

[dracula2-83]

I lowkey hate that it was genuinely good. I never would have watched it except that it was made by Owen Dennis. A number of things when I was watching it were like “oh this is just like in Infinity Train” (namely the intro video and the theme song)

[a post about the police where they're called pigs because they're a detestable sort]

the notes: aww noo i thought you meant the animal they're so cute and nice they're just little guys, don't be mean by using them as an insult

[a post about how dogs are valued more than women, disabled, black and brown people, or where you call some bigot a dog bastard]

the notes: yes but dogs!! you have to care about them too. they're so cute and nice they're just little guys, don't be mean by using them as an insult

[bebsi-cola]

you people care more about comparison to an animal being used as an insult than you do about actual slurs

[five-thousand-loaves-of-bread]

same thing happen to me when talk abt dogs & cats who get animal buttons that say words when press get more attention n aww n positivity vs communication disabled especially nonverbal nonspeaking disabled children n adults still without AAC & discouraged from access to AAC in every way
