hi yeah i know ive been on this medication for 8 years but i need-- yeah. yeah 3 more months please. I'll call you in 3 months to beg for 3 more months, thanks. Bye. Love you.
Im sorry but you need to come in person for a checkup to make sure you actually need the medication you’ve been taking for 8 years
Every single person I know who did football in high school, without exception, has a chronic injury. Many regret what it's done to their knees and back, even major organs like the brain.
There is no serious legislative push to ban high school football.
Also, like, if you want to talk about social pressure on minors to undertake activities that will result in regrettable, irreversible damage to their bodies:
No one, *ever*, tried to persuade me to transition.
My gym teacher tried to persuade me to try out for the football team almost every single day that I was in junior high.
#i firmly believe that the reason why concussions and brain damage in general#are not taken nearly as seriously as they should be#is because of football#if we take concussions and brain trauma seriously then we have to acknowledge the risks that children are undertaking at even#high school level football#but we can't do that#because the kids need to play football in high school so they can play football in college so they can join the NFL#This time I'm really gonna queue it.
I recently watched this video by hydn called “The Great Concussion Denial” and holy fucking shit. Made me sick to my stomach. The tldr is that it’s all the NFL pushing football on kids but that’s really diluting the story

Just so you all know, my tumblr glitched egregiously so now every time someone reblogs this from me, tumblr takes me off of my dashboard or search results and forces me to see this post again
WHY DID SOMEONE ADD AN INCINERATOR ????
I STILL HAVE TO SEE THIS BTW. ITS BEEN YEARS.
And you will see it again.
if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html
how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity
"we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button"
when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen
ouch
important that you never forgive ice agents, ever. even years after all this is over (and I do believe we will make it out on the other side, alive and for the better,) they live in shame and disgrace forever. no excuses, no forgiveness. they ruined their own lives when they decided that human freedom and liberty was an acceptable sacrifice for a paycheck
Hey, I'm handing out magical girl artifacts that grant mysterious and untold powers. All I need you to do is choose your element of power. It's-
No you can't all choose darkness. Or shadows. Because either you're joining the bad guys or you're going full chuuni with that option. Pick again.
Crystal? Good stuff, can't fault a classic.
Water? Girl, ok but let's work on that self esteem. Where's your main character energy? Water is sidekick stuff.
Can you- sorry? Did you ask for your element to be *guns?* Are you Rob Liefeld? I don't care what Homura did, you're supposed to be healing hearts and fighting darkness, not capping asses. Back in line.
BDS- wait what?! You can't do that on this show. I don't care what kinds of magical girls you're gushing over! And no whips!
Yeesh. Ok then. Who's next? You want... the endless void? Goddess dammit, no chuuni stuff! You're getting stars.
Who else? You want fire? Just regular fire, not all-consuming hellfire, not flames of lust? Finally! Take two.
Next!
When you look at your inbox after a popular girl reblogs you and it's suddenly full of hundreds of trans women who need powers and looks like
Anyway, let's get started! *cracks the knuckles on my tiny cat-bunny paws*
@miraclemaya Stars, granted! This somehow doesn't overlap with suns or moons, so enjoy your niche! Have Space too just because it fits the theme and this magical girl onslaught you've caused is fun for me.
@flippin-egg-because-noodles Electricity, granted! Please don't fight with Lightning girl. She was talking a lot about sinister things and it made me worry.
@comegetyoursister You didn't specify so I'm picking and you get Bats!
@ardienteprofeta Sunlight, granted! Praise the sun! \o/
@esthermika Plushies granted! This power comes with a commemorative plushie of yours truly. Enjoy your complimentary cat-bunny-thing.
@dollgirllandsknecht Swords, granted to the proud knight. Stand as proud and tall as a doll can.
@pokeballvictimized Cutting, nightmares, and entropy are all firmly in evil town, regrettably. Sooo Lightning, granted! Please don't fight with the girl who got electricity.
@haboat You must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, because you get Water!
@canjustdeflecttheemeraldsplash Lasers are an element, because if they're good enough for Nanoha to redefine the concept of overkill, they're good enough for this.
@garden-of-edens They're gonna be power rangers explosions where they can't explode people super well, but you can still blow up buildings and stuff, so feel free to live that Megumin chuuni dream!
@wizardwithawand Rock! Oh weird, all the stones are shaped like legos. Well, have fun with that!
@2ws2ls Sowwy, no Shadows here on the good side. You, my crepuscular comrade, receive Twilight! The line between night and day, the liminal times, the quiet moments... I have no idea what this power does, but you can probably make it do shadow stuff. Comes with a really cool cape.
@ontologic-catgirl Durability, granted! Stand strong, swordbreaker, bulwark, tough enough to lift the kettle with no pot holder-lady.
@msh2o2 I gave out water already, so you get... Sea! The tides, the waves, the deep dark. Are you a mermaid? A naiad? I have no idea, but it's cool!
@honouredsnakeprincess I don't think I- oh wait, it's in the bottom of the bag. I didn't think we had that- it feels like such a darkside power. The condition for getting Vampire a good magical girl is that you're stuck pretty firmly in the realm of haughty ojou-sama vampire who can't drink blood on-screen because we're rated PG. But you drink a lot of red fruit juice. And you know very well that's not the acronym I meant.
@patchworkbuffoon I already gave out Stars, but I've got a nice shiny new Planets in here where the planetary rings of stardust form cool bracelets for you and you can hit stuff with the force of an asteroid sometimes if it's plot relevant!
@taurcatfoxgirlpolearms Someone is feeling Lucky! You may have to fiddle with the costume a bit because Luck likes to come with a rabbit theme and I think that's gonna clash with your animal thing.
@rhoselacksthorns All magical girls carry the seed of Hope, but you'll carry it as a blossoming joy. Shine and grow, hopebearer, galanthus nivalis, the first flower of spring.
@zanpapa Uhhhh... I'm gonna give you Healing. I feel like you're gonna get into trouble with anything I give you, so go heal a couple cancer wards or something before you do. And you're not allowed to use it to heal people you torture.
@lillyviarabbit Does everything feel lighter? Because now YOU'RE DEFYING GRA-VITY -*i get sidetracked badly singing wicked songs for five mins and nearly forget to give you the power*-
@mollymusicbox Sound, granted. It comes with a cool music box leitmotif too. Please don't judge my singing for the last girl too harshly.
@estrogenesis-vaporeongelion wtf you got termed again this site sucks wtffff *cough* I mean uh yeah Technomancy, granted! I'm not even gonna complain if you use it to destroy this site's admins. That's a good deed, so it's magical girl a-ok!
@phenoct I think this is just you tagging for later reference, so feel free to request something specific. Otherwise... I can't grant Leviathans, that's a no-go, but I do have Summoning? The stuff that comes out is mostly fluffy critters, but it's still pretty cool.
@gallantblade To the chuuni system, one who lives every day with their heart(s) bared and lovely, I could only ever grant Heart. Or if you want it to be suitably chuuni, I'll say it like
@low-polly unfortunately, the chuuni directly in front of you in line claimed Heart, but I can offer you a shiny new Toys? That's a fun power.
@faerytaletgirl I am looking, but only until I realize you meant Breath, not Breathe. And Pneuma the sacred Wind is the world's breath. Granted!
@nauseapuppy Poison is not allowed, but I can do Alchemy? Or Medicine? Basically every medicine is a poison in the right dose.
@foxgirldick Fog+Space = Illusion for the foxgirl! Don't get into TOO much trouble, okay?
@cottageslimelass Slime, granted! No bones, no problem. You don't stain carpet, and you even smell nice. My current dnd character is a slimegirl. <3
@cuckerfailson I gave out Sun already, soo let's see... Ah, this one's a bit esoteric, but I think you'll appreciate it. Sol Invicta, The Unconquered Sun. That's basically Sun except you've got kind of a war/military theme. (if you peek under the hood it's technically Indomitability, but close enough) Also I violated causality to see your second post and just want to say that I granted Love to a girl about five mins after this moment. Time is a real B sometimes.
@ghostly-harmless @theafrochick Chuuni has kind of come into vogue, hasn't it? I'm not gonna say no if you really want some super dramatic power after I just granted someone Sol Invicta... If you two think of a power, I'll do my best!
@roundearthsociety The joyous part of being a magical girl is that no yuri is truly doomed. A magical girl is one who turns doomed yuri into saved yuri. To a girl who's concerned with matters of the heart, I grant, Love. I can't get you a date though. If you're fumbling girls, that's still on you.
@himejoshiknight I don't think I can do Envy for an MG, and definitely not Blood, and you're right, you don't feel like a Plants girl, soo... Metal, granted! But you can get fairly conceptual with it. I dunno what conceptual metal means, but you get to do it!
@softsunlightprincess You are entirely correct! It's just that water tends to be a very sidekick/second fiddle power for magical girls. Also I wasn't paying attention to the first post from 18 months ago and already gave it to someone higher in the list. The girl you cut in front of wanted Light, so you get Crystals. Granted!
@superoffsetrhombus I accidentally violated causality and read your post before prev's, so I knew you wanted Light. Stand proud, pharos, your light will lead the way!
@mixingmetaphorsoup Am I seeing double? Triple? More?? Ah, must be Mirrors!
@treesurface Much like the award-winning 2008 platformer, you're thinking with Portals. Try not to fling yourself into any infinite loops before you figure out how to stop your momentum.
@riderthehenshin There's going to be a lot of annoying people arguing on reddit that your power is actually something ridiculous and conceptual like "Light Spectrum" and that's why you're secretly hyperpowerful, but they're wrong and we don't care about them, so I'm giving you Colors!
@roze-gallant I think I did wind already, so have Plants. The best time to plant a tree is... right this second, because your thumb is very, very green. Please fix my tomatoes while you're here.
@in-a-state-of-trance I can't grant antizionism for various reasons, so how about Understanding? The world needs more of that, and also I watched Gnosia this year, and the act of knowing and being known is very powerful.
@chiaroscuro-pneuma We're all protagonists of our own stories, so I can't grant you something you already have. I'll grant Magic, but you'll have to pick either a stage magician theme or a witch theme. I don't make the rules on that part, it's just baked in for some reason.
@lovelovevalentine Gonna have to be Flowers! Maybe befriend the Water, Sun, and Plants girls and see what kind of wild blooms you can make. I'm partial to daffodils because they're the first thing that grows in the spring here.
@harpyboytits How gloomy, some might say. =) I granted Electricity and Lightning already so how about... Galvanism? Like, Bioelectricity stuff? So you can power your frankenstein body? I finally read that book this year and was a little disappointed the lightning thing was from the movie.
@veincube There are a lot of girls with big smiles who really want Heart today... Unfortunately, a very chuuni girl already beat you to the punch. How about Joy or Laughter instead? You have such a lovely smile, I think it'd be nice to spread some of that energy to everyone.
@the-missing-number Computers, granted! You'll never need to download more ram now, cuz you'll always be surfing the internet superhighway. You might be surprised to find it looks exactly like how it was depicted in Digimon/Summer Wars in there, weirdly enough. They got that part right.
@poorwhayfairingstranger Sowwy. We're only rated PG, so no blood. How about you get uh... where is that? Ah- there we go. Chi! Power over vitality and lifeforce itself. You can't touch-of-death people, but you can do cool wirefu moves and make weapons out of your life energy!
@demonmuttmusings Correct. The feedback has really reinforced that I was too flippant about the joys of chuuni-ism in my original post, and I'd like to say I've warmed to it since then. For you, Rainbows, granted!
@missmaisyrose I'll never rain on your parade, because you're granted Weather!
@emitter-of-learjets I gave out Color already, and I'm not sure how we'd do Pink... How about Candy? Or Wonder? Something to really brighten the room.
@tammog Ice, granted! Somehow no one else picked that this go-round yet. Please don't fight with whoever gets Fire too much. That kind of rivalry is always such a risk of handing out Ice and Fire. If you wanna practice your chuuni ice moves, maybe that bit from the one DBZ movie where Piccolo comes out of a glacier like a badass?
@helirubys Correct and tagged. And for you, the power of Names, so that you may tag all things and make them Known.
@dykeymothmaam I've granted every variation of electricity so lemme dig deep in the bag here... uhhhhhh wait! There we are! Electromagnetism! It's the peanut butter and chocolate where you get the best of electricity and magnets. I don't know how they work, but they're neat!
@mysticscorpia Teleportation, granted! I really wanna rewatch X-Men 2 now because of that scene where Nightcrawler teleport kicks all those dudes, but watching Brian Singer movies just feels wrong now... Anyway, go see some sights around the world with your new powers.
@madz-the-3rd Plants? In theory, yes. In practicality, no, because someone else already got it. I can grant you Nature though. That's like plants scaled up with attitude.
@kenku-aracne-shenanigans I do not. For your friend who wants to be closer to pets, I grant Transformation. For you, who was kind enough to ask for her, I grant Birds.
@glovefae I was too harsh, certainly. For you, the power of Faerie. Perhaps a bit redundant, but now you get it with a magical girl flavor.
@shadesofthemanifold Utena Hiiragi is a national treasure. For you, I grant Hypnosis! It comes with one of those goofy swirling discs that you wave back and forth so it's a bit cheesy. I don't know how well this actually works on MGs, so you might end up being stuck in "questionably useful jrpg status effects" zone sometimes.
@samimasen Already taken, alas. I can offer you a lovely little power called Prism though. It can be a bit conceptual at times when you split things into their component parts, but you can use it to make rainbows. It looks really neat too!
@totalmemoryfailgirl Toon powers, granted! Try not to get any ink on the furniture, but definitely enjoy being able to do the rubber-hose animation thing on your limbs. That always looked like fun.
@i-just-wanna-read-shit-no-popup For the girl who is concerned with what is right, and what wrongs are done, I grant Justice. Not blind, for what is done in the world must be seen to be judged.
@chthonic-thought Insects, granted! You'll need to fiddle with the costume settings. It defaults to butterflies. Which is... it's not bad, but the wings are like 8 feet span, and the last insect girl knocked a bunch of stuff off my desk by accident. So I won't miss butterfly wings much.
@lemnisrewind I've given every variation on plants and such so far... Let's see whats in this big bag of supernatural concepts here... Ah, how does Spring feel? Not the sproingy kind, like the season. And lots of plants grow in Spring. It's a bit esoteric compared to plants, but I think sometimes big-picture type elements are more fun to figure out.
----
Alright, this is probably gonna be the last mega-round of these for a while.
@calledbyflowers Already gave out love, but I do have a very nice Devotion here for you. Truthfully, any power should be considered to have Love in it, just as every MG carries some amount of Hope in their magic.
@yokiforreal I'm glad you specified Cold, because I gave Ice already. Soothe heated hearts, ice wounds, ease burns, and lower the temp in any way you need. You get to enjoy those nice chilly nights where it's just cool enough to need some cozy blankets all year round now.
@wlthe-r Well uh... I'm not here to judge what people do with their powers so long as they're not hurting others (and remain thematically appropriate for an MG show). If this power can help you love yourself, in whatever way that takes, I'll grant it. Maybe do some good deeds with your small army of you's while you're at it though.
@voidcatdoll technically my mutual got Time in the first round, but I kind of just treated this megapost like its own iteration, so if you'd like Time Dilation, granted! Do your best to avoid paradoxing or timelooping. You won't explode like in Time Cop, but it does give you such a headache. Don't ask me whether there's a single timeline or not, that's above my paygrade.
@cottageslimelass I think I just hit the link limit in a tumblr post, so by the end some of the people I was trying to @ just didn't get @-ed, and it didn't show me that until it was already posted. If you check on them, I believe most of them are still on here. For now, at least. Because the admins suck.
@orbital-lesbian-railgun Magnetism, granted! If you promise to use it like Magneto and blast some nazi's, I'll look the other way on the whole "don't use your powers to hurt people" thing.
@poorwhayfairingstranger I'm not really familiar with homestuck beyond staying at the same hotel as Hussie in 2010, so it's hard to say if I have a suitable power for this... They say bonds forged are stronger than blood, so perhaps Camaraderie? Or maybe just Friendship, and you can empower your friends and allies or something?
@qqchurch Someone just ahead of you got cloning already. You might appreciate that they wanted it for naughty reasons. In place of Cloning, I do still have Duplication for you. Promise not to shout "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" too often and it's all yours.
@blogfeind I'll do you one better and grant you Roads. That's Traffic Safety + like eight other aspects. No caveats. Traffic safety benefits all of us.
@cogby-manynames @ruby-branwen-xiao-long-rose Flesh is... a bit sinister. I can offer one of you Body, and the other will receive Form. You should find either one to meet your needs, I think.
@angelicbunnycharm I've granted powers TO angels and dolls, and I am 40% bunny, but I've actually have not granted any of those three powers, so you may pick freely.
@comegetyoursister You have Bats already... I can just give you Ghosts, or if you'd like I can meet in the middle between the two and grant you Halloween?
@watercolormagicalgirl Sweet dreams are made of powers like these. Dream, granted!
@no1himejoshi I can't grant Psychedelics for the same reason I couldn't give someone Drugs. Industry is very doable though as long as you remember to be OSHA-compliant! I wanna see a hardhat and closed toed shoes on that MG outfit.
@why-does-this-happen-to-me We here at MG Industries are experts at splitting hairs. So while I already gave out Computers and Technomancy, Robots is its own thing. So if you want Robots, Robots you will get! Transform and roll out!
@localdollgirl Is it redundant if I just give you Kitsune? That's a power I have in here. You'd get illusion and foxfire with it, so that's sort of temperature-y too.
@myrrhderous The Hunt, granted! And it comes with a cool cape! The hood has little ear shapes on it so you can wear it without smushing them.
@theafrochick Sound was taken, but I can offer Song. I can't endorse you selling your soul to Gwi-ma though. That guy was big rude, and those magical girls in Huntrix are gonna stick it to him one of these days.
@tessalationsensation I granted Illusion to a foxgirl, but I can offer you the very fun Trickery instead. -*I try to hand you Trickery and it repeatedly pops like a balloon and scatters confetti all over me before I finally catch it*-
@e-to-ipie-plus-1-equals-zero Time Dilation was given, but not Time. Don't ask me what the difference is between them, but you do get the same rules as Time Girl - no paradoxes, no loops. No one wants another Homura situation. It just makes everyone involved sad. Go see the dinosaurs if you get a second. (get it? a second? it's a time joke, tee hee)
@whimsica I somehow didn't grant Moon yet this round, so if you just want the whole kaboodle, it's yours. Don't step on any toes with the Moon Kingdom though. They pay most of the salaries around here.
@redlilyqueen Hm... that's an interesting one. I can offer Music, but perhaps Symphony would better suit such a bombastic request? Or maybe something like Passion, with both music and elements as your expression of strong emotion? That might take a lot of effort to get working, but I think you can do anything you set your heart to.
@ghostkittysweets Flight is just something MGs can do, so perhaps the stillness, solitude, and quiet of Rain would suit someone seeking peaceful vibes?
@stellar-lake-sys You might have seen this coming, but I grant you, Fate.
Hey, I'm handing out magical girl artifacts that grant mysterious and untold powers. All I need you to do is choose your element of power. It's-
No you can't all choose darkness. Or shadows. Because either you're joining the bad guys or you're going full chuuni with that option. Pick again.

BDS- wait what?! You can't do that on this show. I don't care what kinds of magical girls you're gushing over! And no whips!
Yeesh. Ok then. Who's next? You want... the endless void? Goddess dammit, no chuuni stuff! You're getting stars.
Who else? You want fire? Just regular fire, not all-consuming hellfire, not flames of lust? Finally! Take two.
Next!

@dollgirllandsknecht Swords, granted to the proud knight. Stand as proud and tall as a doll can.
@pokeballvictimized Cutting, nightmares, and entropy are all firmly in evil town, regrettably. Sooo Lightning, granted! Please don't fight with the girl who got electricity.
@haboat You must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, because you get Water!
@canjustdeflecttheemeraldsplash Lasers are an element, because if they're good enough for Nanoha to redefine the concept of overkill, they're good enough for this.

@mollymusicbox Sound, granted. It comes with a cool music box leitmotif too. Please don't judge my singing for the last girl too harshly.

@treesurface Much like the award-winning 2008 platformer, you're thinking with Portals. Try not to fling yourself into any infinite loops before you figure out how to stop your momentum.
@riderthehenshin There's going to be a lot of annoying people arguing on reddit that your power is actually something ridiculous and conceptual like "Light Spectrum" and that's why you're secretly hyperpowerful, but they're wrong and we don't care about them, so I'm giving you Colors!
@roze-gallant I think I did wind already, so have Plants. The best time to plant a tree is... right this second, because your thumb is very, very green. Please fix my tomatoes while you're here.
@in-a-state-of-trance I can't grant antizionism for various reasons, so how about Understanding? The world needs more of that, and also I watched Gnosia this year, and the act of knowing and being known is very powerful.
@chiaroscuro-pneuma We're all protagonists of our own stories, so I can't grant you something you already have. I'll grant Magic, but you'll have to pick either a stage magician theme or a witch theme. I don't make the rules on that part, it's just baked in for some reason.
@lovelovevalentine Gonna have to be Flowers! Maybe befriend the Water, Sun, and Plants girls and see what kind of wild blooms you can make. I'm partial to daffodils because they're the first thing that grows in the spring here.
@harpyboytits How gloomy, some might say. =) I granted Electricity and Lightning already so how about... Galvanism? Like, Bioelectricity stuff? So you can power your frankenstein body? I finally read that book this year and was a little disappointed the lightning thing was from the movie.
@veincube There are a lot of girls with big smiles who really want Heart today... Unfortunately, a very chuuni girl already beat you to the punch. How about Joy or Laughter instead? You have such a lovely smile, I think it'd be nice to spread some of that energy to everyone.
@the-missing-number Computers, granted! You'll never need to download more ram now, cuz you'll always be surfing the internet superhighway. You might be surprised to find it looks exactly like how it was depicted in Digimon/Summer Wars in there, weirdly enough. They got that part right.
@poorwhayfairingstranger Sowwy. We're only rated PG, so no blood. How about you get uh... where is that? Ah- there we go. Chi! Power over vitality and lifeforce itself. You can't touch-of-death people, but you can do cool wirefu moves and make weapons out of your life energy!
@demonmuttmusings Correct. The feedback has really reinforced that I was too flippant about the joys of chuuni-ism in my original post, and I'd like to say I've warmed to it since then. For you, Rainbows, granted!
@missmaisyrose I'll never rain on your parade, because you're granted Weather!
@emitter-of-learjets I gave out Color already, and I'm not sure how we'd do Pink... How about Candy? Or Wonder? Something to really brighten the room.
@tammog Ice, granted! Somehow no one else picked that this go-round yet. Please don't fight with whoever gets Fire too much. That kind of rivalry is always such a risk of handing out Ice and Fire. If you wanna practice your chuuni ice moves, maybe that bit from the one DBZ movie where Piccolo comes out of a glacier like a badass?
@helirubys Correct and tagged. And for you, the power of Names, so that you may tag all things and make them Known.
@dykeymothmaam I've granted every variation of electricity so lemme dig deep in the bag here... uhhhhhh wait! There we are! Electromagnetism! It's the peanut butter and chocolate where you get the best of electricity and magnets. I don't know how they work, but they're neat!
@mysticscorpia Teleportation, granted! I really wanna rewatch X-Men 2 now because of that scene where Nightcrawler teleport kicks all those dudes, but watching Brian Singer movies just feels wrong now... Anyway, go see some sights around the world with your new powers.
@madz-the-3rd Plants? In theory, yes. In practicality, no, because someone else already got it. I can grant you Nature though. That's like plants scaled up with attitude.
@kenku-aracne-shenanigans I do not. For your friend who wants to be closer to pets, I grant Transformation. For you, who was kind enough to ask for her, I grant Birds.
@glovefae I was too harsh, certainly. For you, the power of Faerie. Perhaps a bit redundant, but now you get it with a magical girl flavor.
@shadesofthemanifold Utena Hiiragi is a national treasure. For you, I grant Hypnosis! It comes with one of those goofy swirling discs that you wave back and forth so it's a bit cheesy. I don't know how well this actually works on MGs, so you might end up being stuck in "questionably useful jrpg status effects" zone sometimes.
@samimasen Already taken, alas. I can offer you a lovely little power called Prism though. It can be a bit conceptual at times when you split things into their component parts, but you can use it to make rainbows. It looks really neat too!
@totalmemoryfailgirl Toon powers, granted! Try not to get any ink on the furniture, but definitely enjoy being able to do the rubber-hose animation thing on your limbs. That always looked like fun.
@i-just-wanna-read-shit-no-popup For the girl who is concerned with what is right, and what wrongs are done, I grant Justice. Not blind, for what is done in the world must be seen to be judged.
@chthonic-thought Insects, granted! You'll need to fiddle with the costume settings. It defaults to butterflies. Which is... it's not bad, but the wings are like 8 feet span, and the last insect girl knocked a bunch of stuff off my desk by accident. So I won't miss butterfly wings much.
@lemnisrewind I've given every variation on plants and such so far... Let's see whats in this big bag of supernatural concepts here... Ah, how does Spring feel? Not the sproingy kind, like the season. And lots of plants grow in Spring. It's a bit esoteric compared to plants, but I think sometimes big-picture type elements are more fun to figure out.
dislike how many mental health posts on here are just "you've never done anything wrong in your life ever and they were evil for that"
maybe you did do something wrong. maybe you hurt someone. maybe you have said awful things. maybe you were just as bad as them. maybe. but what matters is that you move on. you have to try. you have to wake up and be kinder. you have to learn and listen and grow. maybe you did do something wrong but that doesn't mean you have to keep doing that. as long as you are alive, you can change
Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)
So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.
Source: (the link to the actual study is in the article)
In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU
hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing
tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk
librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for
Spent the day with regirock. He's a fantastic guy. Great sense of humor and also 200 physical defense
using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
commission!
pet peeve that happens more often than you would both think and want
[image description: a four panel comic of a blank grey person, a blank blue person, and the artist's sona, doc, an axolotl with glasses. in panel 1, doc and the grey person are looking at the blue person, who is saying "hi i am male character with a complex about my identity. i am miserable and forcing myself to be something i'm not. transgender imagery keeps being associated with me especially in scenes where i'm most sad and/or angry about my identity, which is male. even if i hate it. even if it's painful." in panel 2, doc is thinking of an egg over a trans flag while the grey person says "omg transmasc king". in panel 3, doc's thought bubble pops as he quickly looks over at the grey person with a baffled expression. in panel 4, doc, still baffled, looks back over to the blue person, who is saying "i cannot stress enough that i am so unhappy with who i currently am and who i currently am is male". end id]
hey do you guys like my new outfit
[image description: three drawings of doc wearing an oversized shirt. in the first, he is showing the front of the shirt, which says "i did not nor have i ever said that you specifically are not allowed to ever headcanon any male character as transmasc and the fact that so many of you assumed that says more about you than it does me". in the second, he is showing the back of the shirt, which says "lots of you could benefit from taking a second to assess why you feel so threatened by the idea of a character that you enjoy being transfem and also consider how one's biases can bleed into all aspects of one's life including how they enjoy and engage with media". in the third, he is lifting up the shirt to show off short shorts that say "some of you are just misogynists though". end id]
