Actually, just thought of a cool concept for an art project
Wearing full white you get others to paint it and see what comes out
They all only have one colour but must collaborate
You could do two projects really
One is the finished piece
The other a picture of the stains that seeped onto your skin. Call it something avant garde like The colours of those who love me
Or something
How do people go out in full white attire?
Do you not know fear?
Do you not understand the danger you are in from every errant drip or smudge or careless touch from a nearby plant???
So apparently there was a whole convention like 2ish hrs awau and i didnt know about it
Devo
Thats not too far for me to travel i promise you
I could have been fem!tf2 medic there too
Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.
Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.
Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.
SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.
This feels like calibrating my normal detector
Really hope the dr is willing to listen and doesnt pull the old

Or the only thing eating your veggie garden that you cannot legally poison without police involvement
Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???
as a black gay person real like where y'all be finding this stuff pass the name
for real though, those DO NOT WATCH OR YOU'LL CORRUPT YOUR CHILDREN lists put out by conservative christian family groups is where I find all the stellar tv shows. Like, shit I didn't know half of those existed, thanks for finding them for me, gonna go watch 30 hours of gay tv now!
I think I know how this works.
For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.
So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?
Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?
Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.
Same as the journalists describing Black Rock City as all naked. Same as the right-wing religious culture warriors describing television as entirely mixed-race and gender non-conforming. Not because it's even vaguely true, we know that, but because they haven't gotten over their discomfort over the last one by the time the next one comes along. The anger, not the stimulus, is the part that's continuous, so their mind lies to them that it's "all" the thing they can't get over.
Similar effect for the presence/proportion of women in things, by the way: https://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/how-17-equals-496-the-amazing-multiplying-women.htm

Please check in on your local animal rescues and see where you can help.
Most are overrun right now and facing horrific injuries and neglect for a number of little creatures.
They might need your old towels and blankets, your time, your cash, or just your eyes on their page and your share.
Do something for the animals and wildlife.
In a weird place
Like, not feeling overly anxious or anything else really
Its just a sense of nothing
Other emotions flit in and out like penguins through a school of fish
But thats it
Is the nothing, which is neither good nor bad, typical... who knows
Its fruatrating
Things feel less heavy at least for now
Getting tired of feeling like my every thought is a deliberate attempt to distract myself. In general. Sometimes in particular.
But it leaves a sense of uncertainty too.
Like now what?
Everything still feels like a task you are waiting to perform, but also something to check off when it arrives. Not to wnjoy, but to endure.
Odd, right.
Its not depression, not fully anxiety bit a third thing.
Is this how npcs feel?
There are main characters swanning about but your code knows you Must do x then y the z, and reset.
Nothing is fun, but nothing is world ending.

Genuinely kind people don't get enough credit. People seem to think that being nice is just a personality trait, but it's actually a commitment to treat people well, even when it's hard. It's not just being nice to the people you like.
It's choosing to be kind to people when you're in a bad mood, or when they're being annoying.
It's choosing to be kind to people who your friends don't like.
It's choosing to be kind to people who you don't particularly like.
It's choosing to be kind to people who you envy.
I'm not saying that you can't be a kind person and stand up for yourself, or tell someone to fuck off when they're doing something genuinely harmful, but there are a million petty reasons people use to justify treating people badly.
It is a conscious choice, made over and over, often several times a day, to treat people with kindness and respect, even when they make it hard. So appreciate the consistently kind people in your life, because they work hard to be that way, and they really don't have to.
Something that comes up when I discuss kindness with people is that people who I experience as being kind believe that they're just faking it. They don't believe it counts if you're kind to someone who you're secretly annoyed by.
But that's exactly what kindness is. It's making the effort to treat people well when you don't feel like it.
If anything it should count MORE when it's not effortless.
shout out to all my friends who are running on the hardware that makes for narcissists and psychopaths and who are trying to be kind people anyway. even when you don't always nail it, i really respect it.
