I wish adhd didnt have the reputation of the oh my god you people cant do anything disorder because i feel like i am barely staying afloat at every single moment of my life dawg. Maybe i have adhd 2 but um jesus fucking christ, jesus christ,

[garaks-padded-bra]

Like i literally feel like a loser. What do you mean the disorder is Affecting me. It shouldnt be doing that, ppl online said thats cringe. Thats not allowed

[garaks-padded-bra]

Like when i say this i mean even getting dressed in the morning takes me fucking forever cuz i genuinely get distracted between putting my left sock on and my right. I forget things literally instantly. I get so little sleep cuz i cant ration out my time doing everything else on top of my 2 jobs. Switching tabs while im working to go grab a file leads me to stop what im doing because I FORGOT I WAS WORKING

celebrating and encouraging the slaughter of jews makes you a bad person, it is irrelevant to me what political camp you stand in

People have been saying for years that these political hipsters did to I/P what they did to BLM in 2020. It's 6 years later and it still gets me that these (often white and at the very least, majority non-black) Leftists (tm) hijacked a whole political movement surrounding the murder of George Floyd and made it about themselves and their desire to be seen as cool through advocating for completely unrealistic, fringe positions that never had a snowball's chance in hell of happening. Obviously, the GOP played a big role in trying to kill the momentum for police reform in 2020, but it really didn't help convince normies that criminal justice reform was desperately needed when you had so many people earnestly saying the only solution was something that everyone knows will never happen (that being prison abolition)

And now some of them have the audacity to be like "lulz well we all said crazy things during Woke 1." Even aside from that further contributing to the bastardization of the term "woke"--which originated with black Americans and was used to talk about being socially aware of racial injustice--it shows that they merely see political movements as fads. And they've done the same thing with I/P, spending years talking about an issue they still refuse to read any real information about (from actual sources, not tiktok) because it's a popular hashtag, makes them feel cool among their friends, and is a replacement for an actual hobby and personality. A lot of college students in particular treated I/P as a fucking after school club in 2024. So at a time when people could have listened to Palestinians advocating for peace, such as Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, they just saw a bunch of privileged poseurs celebrating in the streets after Jews were raped and massacred.

And like the tweet says, they'll eventually casually drop the cause with a shrug and move on, because at the end of the day, this is all a pastime for them and doesn't affect them directly.

Chibi Gaang in their animal costumes (sorry, no Sokka)! These are redraws of some old art I did in my late teens (see below)

Thanks to the animated movie, my affection for this franchise has rekindled.

Please do not repost! Reblog only!

1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

[headspace-hotel]

4) if you actually are the worst person in the entire world, the scientific curiosity of this fact alone would make it worthwhile to continue

I love that the ATLA franchise just keeps showcasing how airbending is the most terrifying element and that the Air Nomads were not peaceful due to being weaker but due to seeing it as a moral obligation because of how lethal they knew their element could be in the wrong hands. It just continues to prove what Ozai said to Aang in the finale wrong. And it shows us how strong Aang’s heart and mind are, because he could be a monster, he could easily take lives as revenge, but that wasn’t what his people stood for or how Gyatso raised him

[coyotelemon]

Also how them being the smallest nation IS, in fact, the way to balance because they are so ridiculously OP’d.

[dukeofdelirium]

Very true, because imagine if they’d been as big as the earth kingdom? Everyone woulda been COOKED

[what-even-is-thiss]

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

[theswisscheeserag]

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

[theswisscheeserag]

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

I feel like it hardly matters anymore, but Flock isn't the only unsecured intrusive data selling crime inventing AI hallucinating automated license plate reading mass surveillance camera operators. Axon and Motorola and Amazon and ALPR and CCTV and security cameras should be equally rejected. All surveillance must go.

[cipheramnesia]

There is no such thing as benign surveillance.

[cipheramnesia]

You are never monitored for your safety.

Playing through Persona 5 has made me realize just how deeply Deltarune has affected my perception of games. More specifically, how Kris as a character has affected my perception of player choice.

It used to be that when I was given a choice where both answers mean the same thing I’d be annoyed at the blatant railroading. But because of Deltarune I now think of it as “well, my character really wants this to happen so I need to go along with it.”

And it used to be that I would think of the character I’m playing as being just a self insert, and would only ever think about how the choices I make will affect other characters. But because of Deltarune, I now think about how the choices I make will affect Ren. I’m picking more “selfish” options because I’m now just as concerned about Ren’s needs as I am about the needs of other characters. Even if it’s something I wouldn’t pick for myself, I want him to be happy to.

I think Toby Fox has either made RPGs 10 times better for me or ruined them completely and I can’t tell which one it is.

one day i will crack my back in a way that will solve all my life problems

Somebody posted a screenshot of this tweet with the OPs name blocked out so I did a 10 second google search and found the original tweet so I could share it with credit

[elodieunderglass]

Forgot that your avatar is like An Actual Painting and got jumpscared by my friend Elodie from Tumblr while visiting the museum today.

I do that 😌

My old rubbishy icon was pretty good for this. It was a fairly easy to find stock image. It was often used as a reference for a lot of art pieces for years.

If you look at the wing on the left (the swan’s right wing) you’ll see that the long feathers have been cut short! They were clipped off, short and blunt, with a blade: the natural spread of feathers should match the other wing, and at that angle would make a dramatic shape. A similar angle with full feathering is here:

What’s fun about it is that the reference image I used in my icon was near the top of Google Images for many years. Thus, as a stock image, people used it as a common reference image for swans.

And you can always tell.

I spotted this one a few days ago near Exeter Cathedral, Exeter, Devon, UK (didn’t take a picture, this one’s from Google)

Look at the wing! A portrait of me, baby!

seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.

Sometimes I hate how my style keeps changing

but drawing in the same style and same way is pretty boring to me.
