Great to know that Lucy Edgerunner escapes from Night city and its plutocracy after her whole gang dies, travels to the moon, and then picks up a career as a fighter in a completely unrelated game.
True! Lucy should hang out with Bus ticket, it would be enriching for her

#they’re not technicalities!#they’re the law!#cops say it’s a technicality because they didn’t do their due diligence#if a cop finds evidence in a place he shouldn’t have had access to without a warrant#and the case or that evidence gets tossed because of it#the cop and media will say it’s a technicality#but it’s not!#it’s a constitutional right they failed to adhere to!#and the penalty is that evidence which was found illegally can’t be used
As usual, @socialjust-ish leaves the gold in the tags and it’s up to me to mine them.
I need to be the most fuckable person on this public transport
it’s a great time to be a hater, many things are bad and lots of stuff sucks. it’s also a terrible time to be a hater, because many people will insist that you have to like the bad thing because a company spent millions of dollars making it and it’s just not very nice to say it’s bad
hating is ultimately a philosophy of optimism. the knowledge that things could be better, and the desire to see them improve, differentiates it from the pessimism of idle consumption.
The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.
Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They've been visible on my page - corrupting viewers - for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven't learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.
In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.”
Thinking about when I was like twelve years old and I had 100 youtube subscribers so my mom bought me a shirt that said "youtuber"
I don't know where it is, I hope I burned it

Fixed a wasp meme :)
Also even if wasps were just aggressive and hostile all the time that would still be admirable and cool because the one and only reason that social wasps have such painful stings is for the protection of the larvae. One mother raises a bunch of daughters so devoted to defending their baby sisters with their lives that they are willing to confront you, literally the size of a Kaiju in comparison, even all alone.
A wasp should be nothing but a universal symbol of bravery and heroism. It's a fairy with a poisoned sword putting herself between her family and a hairy Cthulhu. Frankly all wild animals would deserve that much power to make humans fuck off and it's only a shame that so many can't.
Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT
Non-transfems can reblog this as well btw
Do you guys ever think about the fact that Beardsley was a last minute addition to the cast after Rekha turned it down? They weren’t even supposed to be in this show.
Think about how different this show would be without them, without their constant finale nat 20s. How many years has that decision shaved off of Brennan’s life do you think?
I do wonder what Rekha's character would've been. would it have been katja? I feel like probably not?
I rlly love how Adaine is almost kind of childish. And I don't mean that to say she's immature or anything but I loooove when she says "FABIAN HIT ME!" or has silly banter with Aelwyn or lies on the ground in fallinel because she doesn't want to cooperate with evil elves. Like she's so fussy is what I'm saying and it's incredibly funny and endearing because she's also SO smart. She's very different from her family's attitude.
"I wish i was pretty like the other girls :("
- trans girl who is literally so very pretty
Like I highly recommend practicing some self love, lest you find yourself in an endless cycle of self-loathing that no one will be able to fix. My clocky ass is just as guilty of this but y'all are absolutely gorgeous and you have no reason to fight yourself so hard. The world is mean enough.
for everyone commenting "I wish that were true for me", you may be surprised to learn that it is, in fact, true for you
also that the more you talk about yourself like that, the more you're gonna believe it
You either learn to love yourself through loving other trans women, or learn to hate other trans women through hating yourself. Choose wisely
people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
"Don't you feel satisfied that your windows are so clean now?" It sucked and it sucked and now I don't care. I just remember the sucking.
Hello, I have ADHD and I am also a licensed clinical therapist!
This part sucks. Not gonna lie to you. That said, our brains DO still get rewards, just not from "task completion" (something something, the combination of executive functioning whammy that is task initiation, task break down, task execution, and task transition following completion). Instead our rewards tend to come from one or more of a few areas:
Food. If you've ever seen the stat that ADHD folks are more likely to have "binge-eating" patterns related to sugar and carbohydrates, this is why! Simple sugars are an easy burst of energy, comfort, flavor, and sometimes even joy! For everyone, but for ADHD folks this may feel really significant because we so rarely have other reward responses
Drugs. People with unmanaged or undermanaged ADHD are more likely than non-ADHD peers to find themselves reliant on substances like alcohol, weed, cocaine, opioids, etc, due to the way these substances interact with our reward centers. And even once our disabling symptoms are well accommodated, reliance on substances to induce reward responses is still common, and can be essential to the "rest and decompress" process that our autonomic system (the sympathetic nervous system specifically) needs in order to reduce hyperactivity of motor movements, thoughts, or activation/reactivity responses.
Mentally/emotionally stimulating activities. This one is vague. But that's because they're going to be different for every person, and likely different even within one person's lifetime! For example, right now my "stimulation exposure" activities are to go outside on the deck with my dogs and tear bits of herbs off my garden growths to chew on (combining sunshine, watching my dogs play or playing with then, and fun variable tastes works well for me), or maybe putting on my noise cancelling headphones to my "caberet" or "southern gothic" playlists while I curl up in bed with some hot tea (the caffeine in the tea is regulated when I feel hyperactive, and the heat, steam, and flavor make for great mindfulness opportunities. Also, the music lets me shrink my world to a size that is tolerable for me at that moment), or diving into whatever my latest research project is (who doesn't love a research rabbit hole!)
Sometimes individuals have other things that can trigger rewards for them, and it's always worth making a note when you run across something like that!
I find that by popping off one of these options DURING or IMMEDIATELY AFTER a task that would otherwise be next to impossible to get thru without becoming a raging self hating asshole can make a big difference in how one experiences that task.
Examples: when I need to clean the house because my maintenance routine has fallen apart, I prep a vape with sativa delta or sativa THC, and shove it in my binder. I take a hit periodically throughout the task process to keep me functional and regulated. I also set pomodoro timers for 45 min each so I can alternate between "working" and "resting".
When I fall behind on notes, my wife buys me peanut M&Ms from the corner store and I pop a pair of M&Ms for every late note I submit for work.
When I'm having a low-function work day, I will prioritize taking my breaks outside with the dogs, and sometimes will splash water around from the hose on them and myself for a bit of a temperature change.
If I've overextended myself but still have essential tasks to complete, I will pause about every 15-30min to do a breathing exercise (5-6 count breath in through the nose, and 2-3 count breath out through the mouth - this is really good for short energy boosts and overcoming brainfog)
It's important to keep in mind, that these are not "incentives" in the traditional sense, where if you don't do the task, you don't get the reward. ANY use of your executive functioning would be rewarded in the brain to some extent for regulated neurotypicals, and just because our reward systems aren't great at self-activating as expected, doesn't mean we should have to live without the positive reinforcement that EVERYONE is supposed to get. So if you made an attempt at the thing, you get to trigger your reward response.
Overtime, myself and clients I work with have all noticed a shift in how we perceive tasks once this becomes common practice. Because we now have history and memories of tasks feeling positive to do (even when they are demanding or difficult for us), it becomes easier to interact with that task overall. You start to better notice the changes in approach that may make it even easier. You stop dreading the knowledge that the task needs to be done. It's easier to hop back into maintenance routines even after they've fallen apart. Basically, when you manually trigger what your brain NEEDS and can't self-create, a lot of the distressing aspects of executive function become WAY more manageable.
There's also a lot to be said about the experience of shifting self shaming and self blaming around what it means to "succeed" at a thing or "complete" a task, but that's sort of a different post. For now, suffice to say that being the kind and compassionate and understanding person you likely are for others, FOR YOURSELF, makes a big difference in how easy or hard the above strats will be to execute.
You probably know a few of the things that manually trigger that reward response for you. How can you make that ability work in your favor?
So if your brain won't give you a reward for completeing a task...store bought is fine?
I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.
Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.
Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.
Psychologists have talked about this extensively. In order to repair the damage caused by the stressors of life, your brain needs to have down time in which it is not being stressed. It needs to be able to turn off sometimes and turn down during others. That's how your brain processes stress enough to regulate cortisol production and let you get through whatever it is without being on-edge the entire time, all of the time.
At some point we will, as a society, have to unlearn this idea that if you're ever caught not thinking about something serious, you must not give a shit about others. Your mind is not designed to constantly be stressed.
Your body also isn't, btw - prolonged stress without breaks is linked to all kinds of cardiac problems.
Not only will it not kill you to let the Pokemon Unite server or Naruto/Sasuke server just be about Pokemon Unite or NaruSasu, it would actually benefit you to do so.
If you won't let a place be peaceful for someone else's sake, at least do it for your own.
cannot believe Brennan retconned Cassandra taking away Arianwen’s magic at the end of sophomore year *FOREVER* just because he wants the Abernant sisters to suffer more.. how dare he
my headcanon is that she entered a warlock pact to be given magic
so do you guys think brennan forgot that cassandra took away arianwens magic or did she somehow find even more evil bullshit and somehow got her magic back? or maybe it’s a red herring and it’s not arianwen at all? idk that’s really sticking with me and is going to bug me until next season (if we even get a next season😭)
spitballing here, but if she had done something that resulted in her being given magic like enter a warlock pact that could explain it
Being a Renaissance noble sucks. My dad died, now the alchemist who was scamming him is trying to scam me, my wife is a teenager with cholera, and some heathens are translating the Bible into DUTCH.
Wife died. Got a new one with no cholera. Exiled the alchemist.
Serfs are protestant now.
Alchemist is back.
Mercenaries killed my peasants for being protestant. Pretty sure the alchemist fucked my wife. Exiled the alchemist again.
Wife died. Local archbishop tried to buy my estate. Told him to fuck off. Not like, in a protestant way though. Got a new wife.
Alchemist is back.
