[kittmoon]

waiting in deep suspense

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a book about a small child who is forced to solve RPGmaker puzzles, which is very impressive given that the book was written in 1865

so much of the problem with psychology and diagnostic labels to me is the fact that symptoms are often defined through outsiders and what they see from you, not what you experience internally. sure, NPD has symptoms that are like "you're entitled" and "you exploit people," but these are things that would be hard to be introspective about if you have a disorder that is literally known for making that difficult. all these symptoms come from what a doctor would potentially see from you, which makes it even more subject to personal bias and interpretation of what you must be feeling rather than what you actually are. hence why a woman might be more likely to get diagnosed with BPD or HPD but the man right next to her gets diagnosed with NPD or ASPD, despite both often having the same symptoms. or white people are more likely to be diagnosed with major depression or GAD, where a black person with the same symptoms will get diagnosed with OCD or bipolar. because it's all subject to bias and assumption from the outside, not internal experience from the actual person with the disorder

[co-fronting]

not to mention, the fact we even have disorders like NPD, ASPD, ODD, HPD, and the way that we describe the symptoms of them, etc... is pretty fucked up. histrionic comes from female hysteria. narcissism is self-obsession and vanity when NPD is a lot more complex than that. "anti-social" basically just means antagonistic and unacceptable behavior. ODD is "we're going to label you as a psychopath: child edition." like. while i do understand wanting to rehabilitate these labels and to some degree i support it (if this is the label that the system is going to put onto you, ie NPD etc, then we should be accurate and informative about what it actually is instead of letting people treat it like Evil Demon Disorder), at the same time i can't help but hope that people really do understand that the perception of these disorders as Bad Person Disorder goes all the way back to its diagnostic label and the people who gave it that name and those symptoms to begin with. its not just that people are mean about it when it's applied. the entire system and categorization of these terms is fucked up. why did we name a disorder after narcissism. why did we name a disorder after female hysteria. why did we name a disorder "oppositional defiant disorder" and start applying it to children, especially black children. simply accepting the labels and making them not have a terrible meaning in our own spaces is one thing, but on its own it is not enough. we need to change the whole fabric of how this type of shit even works and is defined in the first place.

[redstonedust]

people saying my evil clone would be called greenstonedust but you have failed to consider that 'evil' and 'opposite' are not the same. we all have capacity for evil and thus my opposite self would not be evil, they would be as complex and flawed as i am, just in ways that contrast my own flaws. my EVIL clone would be called shadowkiller666dust the fallen angel of blogging. and they would be cool as fuccckkkkkkkk.

[elliespectacular]

we could probably condense the 7 deadly sins down to like 4 because greed and gluttony are basically the same thing, envy is just greed with nuance, and lust isn't a problem

[elliespectacular]

pride: you think you're better than everyone sloth: you don't care enough to help out wrath: you cause problems when you don't have your way greed: you want more than you need gluttony: you want more than you need (food version) envy: you want more than you need and someone else has it lust: you enjoy sex

[identitty-dickruption]

I'm reading a study on how nurses define the term 'drug seeking', and what makes them more likely to put the 'drug-seeker' label on a patient's charts and. well. let me just throw down some quotes

"Needy, unable to cope" (<- you try coping with chronic pain)

"Comfort seeking" (<- you mean.. having a preference for not being in pain.. how criminal)

"Using or trying to obtain drugs on a long-term, chronic base" (<- do you understand what 'chronic pain' means.)

"Asking for pain med then returning to sleep."

"States he’s level 10 pain, but does not appear to be in pain (or ‘5= on appearance)." (<- it is well-known that chronic pain patients tend not to display pain in the same way as acute pain patients)

"Dramatic response to pain" (<- notice how this directly contradicts the comment above. you cannot win)

"Gets IV med, then leaves unit to smoke or walk around" (<- wow requiring medication and then going off to do something you needed pain meds to be able to do is so suspicious)

the article itself put it best when it says: “some comments depict patients trying to apply sound pain management principles, such as continuing to take medication for persistent pain”. no wonder all the other literature on the matter says that women of colour are the most likely group to be labelled drug-seeking. this shit is entirely vibes-based (read: based on the prejudices of nurses and doctors)

Isn’t it kind of fun how when your life sucks you just can’t talk about it with anyone

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

I’m serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just don’t talk about it

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

It’s socially isolating, which is dangerous—when you’re in this sort of situation, community is the difference between life and death, housing and homelessness.

I think the collective prioritization of comfort first is hurting people in a real and material sense

AND YET!

Pope Leo is letting American bishops entirely ban trans healthcare for both minors and adults in all Catholic-owned hospitals and clinics, and stop coverage for trans healthcare through Catholic-affiliated health insurance plans!!

People are having surgeries, for which they were on waitlists for years, suddenly cancelled. Hormones no longer covered, their clinicians no longer able to prescribe them. Considering in some states Catholic-owned healthcare organizations make up to a third of the market, as it were, this is a HUGE issue.

‘It’s a Nightmare’: The Human Toll of the Catholic Church’s Trans Healthcare Ban

Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawl

This has been happening since November of last year, when this vote took place, but no one is talking about it. The rehabilitation of the image of the papacy through Pope Leo is killing me, it’s still the goddamn Catholic Church. You do not gotta hand it to them.

I wanna say farm life sims are ridiculous, but honestly if a butch girl who ran a farm talked to me every day and gave me flowers twice a week I’d be sucking her cock by summer

[crunchsomebones]

I love kill la kill. I love how seriously it takes itself. I love that it is the most unserious show I've ever seen. I love how it somehow tricks you into getting deeply invested in a genuinely philosophical battle against the very concept of clothing. I love that it does this by showing you big titty anime girl fights with animation that rivals every other show I've ever seen. I love the lesbians. I love how it fails in its concept at times, and I love how much it succeeds. I love every dumb plot twist. I love that the villains genuinely do fucked up, unforgivable shit. I love the commentary on the nature of fascism and its relation to fashion. I love every dumb joke. I love how they made an 8 foot tall muscle man who's obsessed with discipline and school regulations and then made him a giant fucking masochist with a pain kink. I love that they made that one guys nipples glow pink for literally no reason. I love the insightful commentary on the social construct of nudity and what being naked really means, and how our bodies are morally neutral. I love the dick jokes. I fucking love this show.

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

[toskarin]

to fallout 4's immense discredit in the matter, its decision to mandatorily define all female player characters as lawyers who married a soldier puts it behind literal fallout 1 on "does the female character feel like you're the punchline to a joke"

[toskarin]

to elaborate on that a bit, it's actually toothgrittingly misogynistic that they contrived a scenario where there are two player characters and one of them was clearly conceptualised as The Wife of the Male Player Character, while the other was made as a character first. it's remarkable they managed to do that in a game with a character creator and no mechanical distinction between genders
