tumblr was the only place where i mentioned my situation, hence there are some people that know and still care, so I'll write an update (which is hopefully the last one i will need to write regarding this, ever) on how i've beein doing

i might take this down, im afraid i might be watched by some people, im unsure. but i thought id talk about this regardless

im free from the relationship. i am in a safe place now, have been for almost a month at this point. some things happened, but so far it has been quiet. im definitely doing a lot better though, but i see there is a lot i need to recover from

funnily (and stupidly) enough, im still yet to finish some of the commissions that ended me in this position, even though it's been like.. 3 years. not the most professional thing of me, but i will work on the few ones that are left. ill admit though, drawing has been difficult due to... all of this. but i know i will push through, eventually

so uh, yeah. just wanted to let you know im safe now

day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”

i promise: however big you think this wave will be, it is bigger

[uinuvien]

That wasn’t a joke. I aimed my estimate high and then added some.

The wave was bigger.

[fozmeadows]

I like to imagine that, thousands of years ago, humans still stood a (reasonably) safe distance from the ocean during weather like this to watch the waves, hooting and cheering when the spray came closer than expected and left them drenched

The beginning of the end for every digital artist

[nariarts]

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

[dailymanners]

I take issue with how many people conflate being rude with being more "honest" "sincere" and "real", while the same people will often conflate being nice and polite with being "fake" "insincere" "two faced", and even though this line of thinking has always existed, I think it's gotten worse in the last decade or so.

Don't get me wrong, brown-nosers and people who try to use a veneer of "kindness" as a manipulation tactic are very, very real. And they give kindness and good manners a bad name.

But I take issue with the idea that in order to be sincere and honest with someone you have to be rude and inconsiderate. It's a very childish view on human interaction and human relationships IMHO. You can be honest and sincere with someone while being considerate of them and their feelings as a fellow human being.

I also think it's incorrect to conflate kindness and good manners with being fake and insincere because, at least the people I've met who are fake and insincere people (brown nosers and manipulators if you need a more concise definition of what I mean by fake and insincere people) yes they can be good at making first impressions. They can come across as quite nice, at first. But if you spend any amount of time around them and actually pay attention, they are actually rude as hell. And it will always show at some point.

#some people need to learn the difference between insincerity and diplomacy

[texasdreamer01]

#tact is not LYING #tact is taking a moment to ask yourself ''does this particular thing NEED to be said right now?is it helpful?then it can wait'' (x)

[dailymanners]

It's also asking yourself "does it need to be said this bluntly and/or aggressively and/or emotionally? Or can I find a way to say it that's not going to unnecessarily make the other person feel bad? Or make them feel attacked and put themselves on the defense?"

[dailymanners]

#it's also asking “what is the most effective way to get the outcome I desire?” and that way usually does not involve#insulting people!

[pingintech]

smthn i wanna point out abt this which i think is the stumbling block many trip over is that in a way saying things with the goal in mind to get your specific desired outcome is manipulative BUT!!! its not actually inherently a bad thing nor at all uncommon

most human interaction has explicit goals sometimes that explicit goal is literally just to make someone happier with no secondary motive and if thats your goal and you use language in a very specific way to achieve that it could absolutely still be argued to be manipulative the question shouldnt be is this person being manipulative imo but what are they trying to achieve and 9 times out of 10 if they have ulterior motives those motives tend to fall well within standard social engagement ie. casual small talk that makes someone feel better in order to make transactions less awkward or even compliments that may not fully be sincere in order to encourage you to do the thing you are nervous about or even and this is quite commonly mistaken careful language used in order to deescalate a situation

we tend to demonize manipulative behavior and consequentially ppl with personality disorders who tend to err on the side of manipulative either because they are not easily prone to sincere emotions or empathy or because they are not super emotionally vulnerable in general as a result of whatever landed them a pd (usually a lot of very intense lifelong trauma) but its literally everywhere in society for those with eyes to see it and thats not bad

humans are a social species we often require social engagement in order to peaceably meet pretty much every single one of our needs being insincere is not inherently bad nor often ultimately discernable bc you cannot know most ppls true intentions and as long as the insincere action has positive effects and does not harm anyone i feel those effects far more important than speculating about intention

if a narcissist saves someone from a burning building it doesnt become an evil action simply because their motivation was admiration a life was saved from death like literally the motivation at that point matters fuck all and even in a smaller scale if a narcissist pays for an old ladies groceries in order to receive praise girl me next!!!

[scribefindegil]

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

[bluishorange]

actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly can’t help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.

and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”

listen we’re never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

[raginrayguns]

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

[manyblinkinglights]

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

[tell-the-stars-hello]

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

[emoracreations]

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes. 

https://www.youtube.com/user/billvicars

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

https://www.lifeprint.com/

[naurielrochnur]

Update: you guys this is an amazing resource for learning asl. Bill Vicars is an incredible teacher. His videos are of him teaching a student in a classroom, using the learned vocabulary to have conversations.

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore

And it’s all FREE. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to learn ASL

[brightlotusmoon]

[jewishtransdyke]

Yeah, it’s important to know that ASL (American Sign Language) is not mutually intelligible with BSL (British Sign Language), Auslan (Australian Sign Language), or NZSL (New Zealand Sign Language), even though they’re all from countries where English is the primary spoken/written language.

(BSL, Auslan, and NZSL are mutually intelligible with each other, afaik, just not with ASL.)

ASL is much more closely related to LSF (French Sign Language/Langue des Signes Française) than it is to the other Anglosphere sign languages.

(Irish Sign Language is in the same language family as LSF and ASL, but it also has a lot of influence from BSL and I don’t know whether or not it’s mutually intelligible with ASL.)

ASL is used in the USA, Canada, West Africa, and a few other places, and but it won’t necessarily help you communicate with Deaf people in other English-speaking countries (unless they’ve learned ASL as a second language).

It can definitely be useful to learn at least one sign language, but it would probably be a good idea to prioritize learning the specific sign language that’s going to be most useful in your area.

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
