fucked up beauty standards will have you genuinely wondering if someone with fat arms could experience real love and human connection in their one singular lifetime

Did you know an old wife’s tale was that if there’s a ring around the moon it is going to rain very soon but the wider the ring you count how many stars are in it and that is how long it will be till it does rain. The truth in the matter is to see the Ring around the moon there has to be enough ice crystals in the air, high moisture, and that is usually what you see when rain is coming. The further out the ring is the more stars you have. The percentage of moisture in the air is high, but not high enough and the more stars the further out the rain possibilities are. This is your lesson for today. Enjoy.

To be completely fair to the dog, most humans would just die if you dropped them out in the wild too.

Yes I know I said the casting choices of the 1992 Dracula movie are perfect and that includes Wynona my beloved but I find Isabelle Adjani in Herzog's film an even better Mina Harker casting (ik her name is Lucy here).

She looks perfect for the role to me, especially in her moments of determination and torment. It's also probably influenced by the fact that the script of that movie (that has a sympathetic, tragic, obsessed Count Dracula actually DONE WELL) doesn't do her character insultingly dirty like the Coppola one, allowing her to be intelligent and to find the solution herself (which even the 2024 film didn't let her do).

I watched an insane amount of TikTok and other short form videos for the story I'm writing right now. I gotta say, afterwards, I found myself picking up my phone and opening the apps, almost unconsciously. I was walking and I thought about watching some vids at the same time. I was on hold to the ATO... maybe some videos.

I also happen to specialise in gambling addiction (although I'm not practicing in that area right now), and all I could fucking think about was how these fucking apps were conditioning me in the same fucking way gambling apps do. To be constantly plugged in, consuming. To not even think about just picking it up and having a look. To feel bored when I wasn't watching them, to think about watching them when I wasn't watching them....

That shit is fucking evil.

I deleted it. I'm not exposing myself to that.

That shit will fry your dopamine/reward system so fucking bad you will never read a book or watching a movie again without it.

Love yourself and your potential enough to put that fucking shit away. Watch longer form things that require focus and engagement. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Read books. DO ANYTHING BUT CONSUME SHORT FORM CONTENT IN AN UNSTRUCTURED WAY.

If you MUST consume it (I'm sure people will be like 'but my classmates' or 'but my own channel'.... etc), do it in a siloed and structured way. 30 minutes between x time and x time on x day. Focus on it. Don't eat and do it. Watch each short form video to completion. Engage critically with the content. ANd never watch them first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

PLEASE. From a gambling professional, short form videos ping your SAME circuitry and you will fuck up your life and your brain so badly if you don't put up guardrails for yourself.

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.
