⭐️ customer reviews⭐️ “in need of therapy” “who the actual fuck are you” “i feel bad for people who know you” “stop armchair diagnosing animals” “everything that’s wrong with tumblr” “just a no-name blogger” ‘stfu’ (multiple occasions) and my favorite, ‘coward.’
i do not post, answer, or reblog donation requests unless they are for established charities or close friends. verified lists of individuals are not established charities. donation request asks and messages are deleted and accounts are blocked. because of my very clear message here, all asks and messages requesting donations or submitted/linked posts about donations are reported as spam. real people do not read this kind of message and send asks anyways.
im sterling! you can find far too much personal information in my carrd.
yeah i did name myself after sterling archer. and all the customer reviews are things people have actually considered appropriate to say to a stranger on the internet.
screenshotting out of context posts is a massive loser move. commit to the bit and find another way to embarrass me.

DNF/and yes i actually check this:
im not joking about blocking people on sight if they post anything below. if you follow you won’t be following for long.
us military veterans unless you can be chill about it, gun enthusiasts/no gun regulation supporters, anti-aquariums/animal reserves/zoos, anti self diagnosis*, anti-mental illness recovery*, eating disorder blogs/pro-eating disorders, fanblogs for: hazbin hotel, attack on titan, 13 reasons why, south park/other ~adult animation like it~. hamilton is on thin ice.
about self-dx: there’s nothing wrong with identifying your own symptoms and determining possible reasons for those symptoms. however, you cannot say you have a diagnosis when you do not meet the diagnostic criteria. idc if you think you have some weird unique form of a condition-if you do not meet the criteria and have not been diagnosed after extensive work with a medical professional, do not represent yourself as an example of that condition.
about mental illness recovery: it is completely up to an individual to decide what this means for them. however, i do believe it’s in someone’s best interest to at least find some kind of management plan that works for them, even if that doesn’t include classical psychiatry. take care <3
if you read this entire thing we share a warrior’s bond
the thing they dont tell you about learning to "trust the process" is that you forget and relearn it every single time you make a new piece of art. unfortunately there is no cure either
Hey people who have several pets, with obvious differences in intelligence levels: How did you figure out that one of them is smarter than the other? What do they do?
There are a lot of things that lead me to think my elder cat is unusually intelligent compared to other felis domesticus I have known (understands pointing, can open every door and cabinet in the house except the ones with round knobs or that I added child locks to, understands enough English to know from a phone conversation that a stranger is coming to the house) but in terms of specifically comparing one to the other, there was The Case Of The Mousey Puzzle Box.
When we got our younger cat Skadi, her favorite toy was (still is, but she's calmed down with age) the rattley mouse. She would bring the mouse to be thrown for fetch so many times that not even two human adults in the house could keep up with her. So my partner started making puzzle boxes to put the rattley mouse in that would occupy her for longer.
So, we have a setup: mouse is in the puzzle box, puzzle box is on the floor, younger cat is trying to resolve the puzzle box, elder cat is sitting on the cat tree observing all this. Skadi spends about fifteen minutes trying and failing to get the mouse out of the box. She sticks her paw into the holes. She sticks her nose into the holes. She pushes the box to and fro on the carpet. She meows beseechingly for a human to come solve the problem. Sticks her paws into the holes again.
Finally, she gives up on the puzzle box and wanders over to see if there's any food to be had. As soon as she walks away the elder cat gets up from the cat tree, big stretch, jumps down, walks over to the puzzle box, hooks a paw under the edge and flips the whole thing over, spilling the mouse onto the floor.
Gives the younger cat a look of utter disgust as if to say "That's all you had to do!" and then walks away, utterly uninterested in actually playing with the toy.
ive noticed u made the common mistake of stoppijg petting me so i will whine and paw ur paw until u realize this mistake its ok its a common mistake here let me lay on u to makr it easier
That weirdo billionaire obsessed with stopping his aging/taking his son's blood to stay young has, as far as I can tell, taken a hero dose of shrooms that led him to fall in love with one of his employees(?) and is now attempting to use his wealth to find a cure for her endometriosis? Which like, sure
I'm going to *remembers how many times in my life I didn't tell anyone I was suicidal* you know, I'm not going to, but I honestly think even joking about it is better than never talking about it, and I think people who have dealt with such a difficult thing deserve to be able to joke about our own experiences without getting lectured about some knock-off CBT that's been ground up and shat out of the online pop psychology void, and also you know this format in itself is a suicide joke right it's just euphemistic
No, Word, I do not “want to rewrite this paragraph with copilot”. Similarly, I do not “want to hire a drunk chimp as a chauffeur”, so perhaps you can fuck off?
at my old job there was a guy who was a liability in every possible way. socially inappropriate, obliviously rude, seemingly incapable of learning, sly and self-aggrandizing, dismissive of every suggestion until enough time passes that he thought it was his own brilliant idea. and everyone found this irritating but he experienced zero consequences for it, ever, and every single professional conversation about the problems he caused began and ended with reassurances that he was a hard-working nice guy whose heart was in the right place.
meanwhile our sister location had an employee who was almost identical to him in every conceivable way except that she was a woman. and she was fucking reviled. l never heard anyone say a nice thing about her or scramble to defend her. Everyone was eager to shittalk her unapologetically even though her offenses were more cringe than they were hurtful. It started to drive me crazy because I disliked her too but I hated that I was encouraged to complain about her failed program ideas but discouraged from complaining about his abject disrespect and incompetence. Towards the end of my time there I had enough sympathy for her that I was going out of my way to be kind to her and she suddenly became way more tolerable and even pleasant—it was incredibly obvious that most of her objectionable qualities stemmed from defensive hostility about being openly treated like a cringe weirdo. Which like. Same lol.
Actually you know what. I’m gonna call her to chat right now. Post cancelled.
if you experience any disability or neurodivergency please fill out this form. it is equally important to me to have data that says progesterone doesn't affect autism or testosterone doesn't make you hard of hearing or whatever, as it is to document changes. so if you have any health condition. please fill it out. even if it to say "no change". i am begging you all.
and if you can't. please. please do reblog. i need this to be as big as humanly possible. it is the best way forwards to inform decisions.
whenever someone calls me and says they're from my bank or car loan company or whatever and asks me security questions, I always tell them "excuse me, you called me, how can you prove who you are" and every single time they act like it's the first time anyone's ever asked that, which absolutely boggles my mind. for the love of fuck please do not answer "security questions" when you didn't initiate the call, at least without making them answer a few first
I agree, never give your info in a call you didn't initiate. Phone numbers can be spoofed. They may actually sound like your bank or credit card company.
If you receive a call, hang up and call back using the phone number on their website. Explain that you received a call about X and if it's legit, they'll be able to tell you so. They're also not usually going to get mad if you say "I'm going to hang up and call you back." Scams will though. Because you won't be calling THEM back, you'll be alerting the bank someone is committing fraud in their name. So they'll get urgent about it. Ignore them and hang up. Call back on an actual line.
