Literally just here because my friends peer pressure me into it

I am many things, an introverted enigma among them. Fan of obscure non-human protagonists in scifi/fantasy fandoms, and Tragedies in the old literary way. Ghostie_Jakxy_Gray on ao3, insta, kofi, assorted others. If I want you to DNI I'll block you like a regular quasi-human being.

Sometimes what you write isn't what is popular. Write it anyway. Imagine how unutterably dull the world would be if the only stories that exist were the popular ones. Sure, you may not get the traction you might want, but you get the satisfaction of creating something that matters. It's not easy, but it is important, so do it anyway.

ADHD Medication information sheet

[brazenautomaton]

I have been struggling

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

[firebirdscratches]

Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS

[perpetualanachronisms]

Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info

[punsbulletsandpointythings]

Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.

[sharm-the-shark]

Ok what the actual fuck , why does nobody tell you this like , wtf

[skellymom]

Citric Acid is added to A LOT of food items as a preservative and flavoring agent. Things you may not even consider having it. Check ingredient labels on everything!!!❤️

PS: Citrus affects SO MANY other drugs as well. Check your info sheet, or go online for contraindications and drug reaction info.

**For those saying this is misinformation: citrus DOES render some meds ineffective. I have to even disclose this to owners that give their dogs fruit treats ( just like milk products affecting some meds too). Keep in mind a lot of the meds I’m dispensing for veterinary use ARE ALSO originally used for human patients (vet industry does a lot of off label use).

I've seen a bunch of "fandom etiquette" posts on my dash today and I'm going to say something that is maybe going to be unpopular but;

The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.

And I am not going to mince words here:

A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.

That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.

"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.

So much of "fandom etiquette" seems to be about insulating creatives from Feeling Bad and hostility to any kind of negative feedback is a pretty big contributor to why bigotry festers in these spaces.

[iridescentoracle]

#imo the potluck analogy applies- it would be rude to critique someone's icing technique at a potluck bc it wasn't as good as at the bakery #but if they had decorated their cupcakes w hate symbols it wouldn't be rude to tell them that's gross and gtfo #in fact it would be inappropriate to NOT say anything in that situation #or to complain that another guest who did point it out was 'ruining everyone's potluck' #and pointing out racism in fan works is 100% the second thing not the first! (via destructions-daughter)

[swamp-spirit]

There's also a tendency to conflate anyone who critiques general trends with bad faith randos. Like, there is fandom behavior that is 100% racist and should be talked about, but there are also trends of racist/sexist/ableist preferences.

If I say "I am uncomfortable with fandom's tendency to write trans men as feminine and submissive" I do not mean "I think every person who writes feminine submissive trans men should be chased with pitchforks". I don't even mean "any cis-person who writes feminine or submissive trans men should be chased with pitchforks". I mean "I would like writers to seriously think about why this is so common, why they write that, and if it fairly and genuinely engages with what it means to be a trans man, or if they just think it's hot when submissive people have vaginas and didn't want to write omegaverse of m/f".

Similarly, when people say "fandom is systemically less interested in black characters, less willing to give flat black characters rich fanon than flat white characters, and less interested in black characters in ships", the response is not to explain why you, personally, just happen to like popular white guy in that fanon. Your job is to look at yourself and ask if you tend to "just happen to be more interested" in the popular white guy across fandoms, be honest, and start unpacking that. Sometimes it's easier to love the flat character who's already getting 10,000 fics with headcanons and art and meta.

If somebody says "I wish there were more gluten free options at the potluck. I hate always showing up and not finding anything I can eat*", they are not asking you to throw your cake in the trash and weep. They do not want to hear your long speech about how actually this is your grandmother's recipe, and you've tried it with rice flour actually, but it just didn't work. You think about what you can do, and you listen to how they feel.

*The metaphor here not being that you can't read fic that isn't "good rep". The metaphor here is that it can be isolating to be in spaces where nobody is trying to make sure people like you are welcome.

[homunculus-argument]

oddly specific insults that could also be used as compliments?

Just describe them. The tone of your voice dictates which one it is. You could tell someone that they walk like a sled dog and that's going to delight or bother them for the rest of their life.

“I hope you have the day you deserve” can be a good one

There was an incident on reddit where someone replied to a rancind OP with "if you ever end up in a state of needing help, I hope people show you as much kindness and patience as you have for others", and got immediately banned for "threats of violence".
