I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.
ive also come to the conclusion that "laziness" is probably the stupidest, most hurtful, least useful, deliberately cruel concept in the world
I don't think I've ever seen anyone benefit from being called lazy but I've seen hundreds of people destroying their bodies and minds trying to avoid being called lazy because at some point someone decided that if someone wasn't miserable then that means they're a bad person
Where did you first read fanfiction?
Someone's personal website
An archive for a specific fandom
Fanfiction.net
AO3
Ficbook
Wattpad
Another multifandom fic archive
Tumblr
Long-form blogging platform: Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Blogspot etc.
Quizilla, Twitter or somewhere else comically unsuited to fanfiction
A physical copy, e.g. a zine, a friend's handwritten or printed fic
Somewhere else/what's fanfiction?
hi. just a reminder
you’re not too much. not too broken. not too late.
you are allowed to be proud of your survival. you are allowed to rest. you are allowed to take up space.
you are already enough. you are already whole.
love, someone who gets it
Stop just asking "is it normal?" and start asking "is it harming anyone?" Lots of harmful things are normalized in this society and lots of things considered weird or rare are completely harmless. Whether something is considered normal or common shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether it's okay
Like a lot of disabled and neurodivergent and mentally ill ways of living and expressing yourself are both not normal and not harming anyone and it's the last part we should focus our attention on
@heterodox-heterographer you've hit the nail in the head
not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth
positivity tells a sad person that there is no reason to be sad. warmth asks the sad person if they want to go get some ice cream
Been a moment since I saw this. Glad it’s back on my dash when I needed it.
wait, this is freaking eye opening
People who are hard on yourselves: may I humbly offer you the 100 floors of frights philosophy?
In the SNL David S. Pumpkins sketch, a couple is on a ride called "100 Floors of Frights," where they see a different scare on each floor, and at one point they complain about many of those floors being lame. And then Kenan Thompson delivers this line of deep philosophical wisdom: "Hey look—it's 100 floors of frights, they not all gonna be winners."
My husband and I use this line all the time to give ourselves grace. For instance, I'm a good cook, but when I make a dinner that doesn't turn out well, I will literally say out loud, "It's 100 floors of frights—they're not all gonna be winners," or just "Look it's 100 floors of frights."
It just means when you do a thing a whole lot, there's bound to be some instances that are bad. You don't have to be good at the thing 100% of the time. You can't be good 100% of the time. Some of the 100 floors are gonna suck. It doesn't negate your skill at creating the rest of the 100 floors.
You can use this for anything: art you make, performances, school assignments, days at work, outfits, sex sessions, literally anything that you are too hard on yourself about when it doesn't go great. Listen to Kenan Thompson and remember that it's impossible for them all to be winners, and that's okay.

Fantasy is when Hugo Weaving is a good guy and sci-fi is when Hugo Weaving is a bad guy.
Fantasy is when Sean Bean dies and Sci-Fi is also when Sean Bean dies
Art about transformation I think
listen. There's a whole mentality shift that needs to happen culture wide here, from the schools to the public infrastructure to pet ownership to the justice system
The proper response to your dog doing a natural behavior you dislike (digging/barking/protecting etc) it to give them an appropriate time and place to engage in that behavior
The proper response to skateboarders damaging infrastructure is to build more and better skate parks, or build skate elements into the public infrastructure on purpose.
The proper response to homeless people sleeping on park benches is to build them houses.
you see how there's like, a commonality at play here?
The proper response to a disruption is to address the root of the disruption directly, not somehow attack the disruption itself -
you don't invent a muffler by swinging a bat at the engine noise, you don't relieve your hunger by punching yourself in the stomach, you don't resolve public unrest by sending armed men to control them and you don't prevent homeless people using bus shelters as a roof by removing the bus shelters.
a whole ass shift in a basic mindset, i'm tellin' you. We need it.
Listening to the local fire department radios as they rescue a cat in a sewer. Here's how it's going:
FD: We can see the cat. Do you have an ETA on animal control?
Dispatch: Twenty minutes.
FD: Alright, we think we can get the cat.
Dispatch: Copy, we'll let animal control know.
FD several minutes later: We've got the cat.
Dispatch: Copy, do you still want--
FD, interrupting: Update, the cat DOES NOT like us.
Dispatch: ...so you do still want animal control, then?"
FD: Yes. Tell them the cat is in the engine.
Dispatch: ...are you also in the engine?
FD: Not anymore, no.
Classic catitude! Love the last three lines of the exchange!
The cat is the fireman now.
In a fantasy setting, my job would be exactly the same
Epilouge:
Why is this crystal ball filled with goo? Or possibly chlorine gas?
Idk how they build 'em, I'm only first-level user support 🤷♂️
The chlorine gas is there as a safety feature
One time I saw a fake headline about the Vatican announcing the virgin Mary's new nemesis, la puta Waría, and ever since that day I've quoted it like anybody else knows what I'm talking about
