Call me Robin! She/her, 28. 💖💜💙 Blacklist “#vigilantes manga spoilers” and "#bnha manga spoilers" if you don't want to see them. Once the episode has aired, I change to "spoilers" (not "manga spoilers") for a couple days, then stop tagging. I'm one of Kankri’s writers and Aranea’s writer at @befriendus, and was previously narrative director. Icon by the amazing mercutiodidntdieforthis! This was once a mix of Homestuck blogging with miscellaneous other fandom and day to day life. Nowadays, it's mostly my interests and some original BNHA posts, shifting hard into Shepherds of Haven lately, but that probably doesn't mean I'm done Homestuck posting forever! Especially about the Signless. On Twitter at @StandUpIngenium, Bluesky at @standupingenium.bsky.social, one day I'll return to @RyeRhythmic on one of those sites. Main blog of drjulien/falconfriend (Ninjago), youreenoughnow (TRC), and captionedpoetry.
If something does happen to Tumblr, I would love to see you all on my fandom Bluesky. Right now it skews BNHA, but a lot of it is stuff I wish I was posting here too anyway!
I’m standupingenium.bsky.social
If you follow there and we’re mutuals / Beloved Oomfies, please lmk who you are!
I have a deep appreciation for trans people in general, of course, but especially those who take the opportunity afforded by the chance to pick a new name in adulthood to pull an interesting but out-of-fashion name out of mothballs and give it new life. I'm not sure it would be appropriate to give a newly-cooked baby the moniker 'Millicent' - there's no way of knowing if they'd be powerful enough for that name - but if you want to make yourself Millicent? You're my hero.
EXCUSE ME THERE IS A PLANT THAT CAN MIMIC FAKE PLANTS?????
IT'S CALLED A BOQUILA TRIOFOLIOLATA AND IT'S FUCKING WITH MY BRAIN
IT APPARENTLY CAN MIMIC OTHER PLANTS AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "oh cool man it must take it's genetic code and copy it or feel the roots or something like that!! :3"
AND THEN I READ AN ARTICLE ON IT AND THESE FUCKING PARAGRAPHS HIT ME LIKE A BUS
In retrospect, consider the number 1 thing every grade-schooler knows about plants is they take in light, the idea they might be able to see should not wreck my shit as hard as it does
the bit about the Crocker family tradition of taxidermying dead relatives always kind of stuck out to me as a weird oddity considering all the implication suggests it originated with Meenah, a troll, and a notable point is made that trolls do not care at all for the bodies of their dead. and then it clicked for me very recently that it's Meenah who tries to preserve her friends' souls by killing them during the scratch, and it's Meenah who keeps attempting to resurrect the troll race after their extinction even when she's given another planet to rule over entirely. attempting to preserve what she's lost is literally a specific character quirk of Meenah's
Cishet peoples' feelings is collateral damage at best
Buddy if "let allies attend and participate in pride" reads to you as "what if excluding them makes them feel bad :(" and not "Shit Is So Fucking Hard Right Now, We Are Going To Flood The Streets In So Much Unity And Love That Fuckers Think Twice Before Screwing With Any Of Us" then I'm not sure what to tell you
"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade
At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever
happy pride month to those in the closet. to those who went back into the closet. to those who have unsupportive families, friends and relationships. those who were bullied and harassed because of their identity. those who were killed because of who they truly were and loved.
i think avoidance is such a little-recognized ocd compulsion. all the time i talk to people with ocd who are like "i was always having intrusive thoughts about using kitchen knives and harming myself or others but i'm okay now because i just stopped using knives ever 👍 so i'm good now"
if you don't know why this doesn't work, the issue is that ocd never stops when you implement a compulsion. it evolves. today you've "solved" it by never using a knife again (and losing access to an important cooking tool, thus limiting an aspect of your life) but in a few months or a year it'll be that forks are dangerous too. and hey, isn't it risky to use the stove? avoidance will even begin to manifest in places you might not recognize.
the point is that OCD compulsions are never solutions, they're actually the problems. the intrusive thoughts SEEM like the problem and the compulsions FEEL like the solution. and that's how it getsya.
Hey here's the food that I've figured out his the right combo of cheap, easy to make, tolerably tasty, and relatively nutritionally sound for when my brain is bad:
2c rice (2c is dry, prepare as you usually do. Whatever kind of rice you have is good, brown rice works well)
2 cans of pinto or black beans, drained (or one can of each. Whatever.)
12oz frozen broccoli
1c chunky salsa
Optional: .5c sour cream, .5c shredded cheese.
Also optional: salt, garlic powder, and cumin to taste (to season the rice)
Cook the rice in one pot (with the seasoning if you want to). Put the frozen broccoli, drained beans, and salsa in another pot and bring to a boil. When the rice is done and the bean broccoli salsa stuff is hot, mix the rice into the beans (if adding cheese or sour cream, stir into the beans before adding the rice).
Now you have a food. It's got protein and carbs and fiber and a vegetable (and fat if you add the cheese and sour cream).
The amount described above is a lot. You can portion half of it into single servings to freeze and still have like four meals.
It's not the kind of thing I'd serve to anyone else, but it's a better option than eating instant oatmeal for dinner for another week.
i think baby-priority-seating should be a thing on planes. like. not, "they go on first", i mean how seating is ARRANGED. like o shit there's a baby on this flight? then the attendants ask everyone in the waiting area "who here is good with babies and enjoys the communal human experience of helping a parent soothe a scared child?" and then they rearrange everyone to make sure those people are sitting next to the baby just in case, and boom, less stress for probably literally everyone including the baby
i have no idea why i am thinking about this. i have no baby and have not been on a flight in years. this is dan levys fault
