“bits to use in everyday conversations”
I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.
You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
everyone's slandering my friend the regular african buffalo™, please he is innocent - water buffalos do not look like that TT
i'm so so so sorry i know 😭 i couldn't quickly find a transparent water buffalo PNG and i shamefully picked the next best thing and hoped no one would notice 😭😭😭 but i was mistaken. i beg the forgiveness of the regular african buffalo™ 🥺🙏
as penance i will now demonstrate the difference between these two bovids so none of my followers will let me get away with this shit again
Above: Syncerus caffer caffer, the noble African Cape Buffalo. Note how its horns are very close together on the top of its head — almost connected. It also has adorable multicolored ears. They are not domesticated.
Below: Bubalus bubalis, the wretched Domestic Water Buffalo. Note the position of the horns and the little tuft of hair in between them. They are also much smaller than the Cape Buffalo.
i hope this helps. again, i'm so sorry for falsely implicating the African Cape Buffalo in this wage theft debacle 🥺🙏🥺🙏

I think people no longer understand that "viewer discretion is advised" does not mean "vaguely bad content ahead," it means View At Your Own Discretion. As in, if you see the content going in a direction that is unsuitable for you in any way, it is your responsibility to stop viewing. Don't blame creators for your failure to listen to your own warning signs. Nobody is forcing you to finish the episode, the chapter, the sentence. That's all you.
While tumblr had put me in image limit jail yesterday, I made a Revenged Love relationship chart. As you do. State episode 16.
I was very close to include the snake children
Mads Mikkelsen, Sigourney Weaver and David Dastmalchian all star in DUST BUNNY, the feature debut from Bryan Fuller which finally has a firs
“…a young girl named Aurora (Sloan) seeks out her neighbor (Mikkelsen) for help after she believes her family has been gobbled up by a monster living under her bed. The neighbor just so happens to be a skilled hitman, who is fairly certain that the child’s parents may have been the accidental victims of a group looking to assassinate him. Keeping his young neighbor safe becomes the hitman’s top priority, as both characters go on a mission to face down their monsters side by side.”

There are very few things I enjoy watching extended videos of and I was unprepared for how stoked I was the entire time I watched this.
This is silly and is none of my business but I was kind of hoping that Sabrina was gunna go do like each album being a new era of her..different style in Taino and music as she grew into her own…like for some reason I had cornices myself this pin up thing was kinda of a parody thing (tho i do love it) and was a novelty but now I’m worried this is the jusy going to be the aesthetic and maneater vibe she is going to double down on
idk what taino is in this case but yeah! i am not that dedicated but it definitely seemed like she had a plan for marketing and then over the last year it's kinda flipped from women's empowerment in a bimbo shell to... just the shell. and i'm not saying she can't do whatever she wants and i'm sure this is meant to be a satire, but when the satire is indistinguishable from the thing it's satirizing, it's a miss for me, particularly if the thing being satirized is the 70 year backslide on how men see women. it's such a flashpoint right now. i don't really think i want the subtle message on that one.
and you know what her audience is a lot of younger women who are already in the absolute throws of this between girl dinner tiktoks and hilariously unreal body standards from AI edited influencer vids and shein hauls and i really don't think their favorite musician showing an album cover with her on her knees in kitten heels about to get facefucked by some older dude is going to be a net gain for their psyches. i saw the other inserts and stuff and none of it looks like parody or is any better than the cover. and i'm sure this is just like... a promo stunt to get people talking but i find it super gross and i think it sucks.
I’m about to save you thousands of dollars in therapy by teaching you what I learned paying thousands of dollars for therapy:
It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.
Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.
1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.
2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?
3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?
4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”
5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.
6. Repeat, it takes practice but is a skill you can learn :)
I have been in EMDR therapy recently to help with past trauma and like 90% of the appointments is just this post. Which I thought was silly at first bcs I was like "well I know how I'm feeling, I feel bad" but man you have no idea. Literally JUST talking through whatever stressful thing I have going on at the moment and whenever I feel a Big Emotion stopping and acknowledging, naming, and sitting with it. I've made more progress with my trauma and mental illnesses just doing this in a single year than I have in like 10+ years of therapy.
It might feel silly or pointless at first but stick with it, it really helps.
This is so important! For some people, this kind of work could be the most crucial thing they get out of therapy. Others may need more or different things from therapy, but for a lot of people, getting more in touch with emotions in ways like these would be a huge help with the other work they need to do, and sometimes it's a prerequisite for it.
I have an addition to make!
It's best to engage in a substantial way with emotions as they come up, either in response to a situation in a present, or when something stirs up something from your past. But there are times when this isn't feasible. Occasionally, you really won't be able to engage at all. It's OK to make a choice to avoid the emotional response entirely, but this should be saved for the toughest or most high-stakes cases, like when you're in the middle of a job interview, or your two-year-old is having a huge meltdown in the street, or something.
More often, you'll run into situations where it's hard, but you still have the capacity to sit with an emotion at least partially. Even if all you can do is take a split second to name the feeling and acknowledge it, that is better than engaging in full-on avoidance. You're still chipping away at the backlog of unresolved stuff you're carrying around. You're still building the habit of being mindful and making space for your feelings.
To put it more succinctly: sit with your emotions fully when you can, and when you can't, sit with them in some small way whenever you possibly can, while being gentle with yourself if you really need to go into full avoidance mode in a crisis.
Also, the more you process your emotions fully at those times when you have the right (or right enough) circumstances and energy to spare, the more you'll build habits that will be there for you when your situation is more challenging.
I'll give a couple examples from my life. After working on sitting with my feelings more for a number of years, I learned about the concept of self-compassion and tried doing some compassionate self-talk in hard situations. I would find myself, when I did this, putting my hand on my chest like I was giving myself a comforting, centering touch. At another point, I heard about the benefits of having a shorthand phrase to use in distressing situations. When my twins were babies and I was off-the-charts stressed a lot of the time, my shorthand phrase was "this is the work." It meant that when things go "wrong" in a parenting situation, this isn't some kind of interruption to a default parenting situation where everything goes perfectly and exactly as you planned—actually, unexpected, challenging situations are the norm in parenting and how you handle them is what defines your parenting, not your ability to avoid them ever coming up (which, again, is impossible). Over time I started to apply the same principle to other areas of my life because really, everything worth doing is like that.
Nowadays, if I can't sit fully with a feeling and can only take a minute, or if I'm someplace where I can't let on that I'm experiencing a tough emotion, I can put my hand on my chest and channel a little bit of self-compassion, or I can tell myself "this is the work" and it'll often help me to shift my perspective away from inwardly protesting about the challenges of life and toward facing them in the best way I can.
i need there to be an on-screen warning whenever pavel is about to do an emotional scene bc i really can't take it when he cries
My Sweetheart Jom is doing such a good job with the character-building, and setting up the push/pull between Jom and Yo that is eventually going to click together into cohesion at a future point.
I loved getting a glimpse of Jom's flaws. I did not expect that kind of anger hair-trigger, and it's going to be fascinating to learn more about where that comes from, and whether it's always set off by issues related to family & respect.
And similarly, seeing how Yo is so mired in his resentment over this cycle with his parents, that he ends up acting like the brat that they see him as, and it all just keeps repeating.
There's the fun in seeing the brat/brat tamer dynamic, but each scene also gives us so much insight into who both Jom and Yo are as people.
Even with the parents - of course it's bad that they weren't more supportive of his actions around the predator teacher, or the events with Sack, I'm not at all disputing that. But I think it's interesting to realize, as reflected by the scene with Jom & Oat, that they have spent their lives raising a very impetuous and headstrong child, and having to spend a lot of time smoothing over conflicts. They are also stuck in a cycle, and it's preventing them from seeing their son as he really is.
Which is why Yo deciding to step outside of the cycle and apologize is a big character moment. It's not about who's right, it's about changing the dynamic.
I already know there will be takes annoyed with both the parents and Jom around the apologizing and focus on filial piety, but these are people who belong to a collectivist culture, and their values reflect that. This is part of who they are. And it's setting up an interesting story.
