@scistarborne
okay i am THIS close to buying a jacket patch that says "having love in your heart will save you from the otherwise cataclysmic experience of being a human being"
like goths really have the right idea here
@heavenlyoption
If you want to follow her on Tumblr this is @musterni-illustrates and I got the "what survived may not be kind, but it's me" illustration as a printed handkerchief and put it on my vest as a back patch and it's incredible.
another thing about b12 that i learned from my therapist today: apparently if you have anxiety you need even MORE of it because your body just barrels through it at full racecar speeds. which, as someone with the motherfucker gene mutation (as MTHFR has been so lovingly dubbed by my family) and as someone who just got diagnosed with anxiety out the wazoo, was both incredibly annoying to learn and also incredibly validating. like, YEAH, this is why i'm so tired all the time! also fucking hell!
It’s the same with ADHD. I’m unable to medicate my ADHD due to my MCAS, but I’m able to somewhat get around that by upping my dosage of b12. On normal days I usually take 2000ui, but if I’m having a really bad brain fog slump day I’ll go up to 4000ui and it’s like my brain suddenly has enough energy to focus. I keep wishing I knew about this all through college when I was really struggling.
Wait wait wait…
So, having ADHD makes you burn through B12 faster?
And being low on B12 makes you tireder than normal?
I should maybe start taking a B12 supplement because guess who has ADHD and is tired. (It me)
Wild, right? I’m going through the notes my therapist gave me, and it looks like it’s B vitamins in general get burned up quicker, so B6, B9 and B12 are the likely culprits, so for some folk a B complex might be better. I can’t take a b complex cause I react badly to biotin, but that’s cause I’m my own brand of genetic fuckuppery. (As ever, talk to your doctors and maybe get some basic blood tests as part of an annual physical to see if you’re actively deficient in anything, cause that might help more.)
WHAT?! Ok, this would have been good to know forever go. Time to start on a B complex supplement and find out!
…….shit my doc did say my bsomething level was low but since she didn’t elaborate I just shrugged n assumed she’d say something if a thing in test result was important
Don’t get your sex ed from fanfiction!
Get it from
Scarleteen
Not even joking, y'all, Scarleteen is an amazing resource that deserves attention and (if you've got the cash for it) donations so they can keep providing thorough education about sex, consent, relationships, etc to folks of all ages who need it.
@sage-derby Yes!!!
Here’s a rundown of their general policy, from literally the first article I clicked on just now:
As you might be getting from that, they’re pretty intersex inclusive, too. Here’s a sample of something that’s a little more directly about sex-specific stuff in case you’re thinking “well but they said that was just about pleasure tho”:
They have a lot of sections on their site, but number two is Gender:
“That’s probably just like hetero gender dynamics stuff tho...” Nay nay! Here’s a few of the articles from the first page of their “Gender” section:
Scarleteen was a huge help to me as a trans person. They have a live chat that has sex-ed type folks giving real-time answers, and even just the staff+volunteers who happened to be attending to the live chat were able to help me with weird niche trans problems - a decade ago, when trans people, it seemed, damn near didn’t exist. They are EFFING AWESOME and want to help you!!!!
isn't girld*ck like... a fetish term
The article’s author is Liz Duck-Chong, a trans nonbinary woman. She’s pretty solidly in favour of the term “girldick”. I’m betting that if Scarleteen gets a lot of feedback from trans people that they don’t like that much prominent use of the term, they’ll update it to use a newer preferred term (though probably keeping at least one reference to “girldick” just so people know what the article’s about and search engines will catch it.)
Part of the reasoning about prominently using terms that may not be 100% great is so that if someone uninitiated googles “girldick sex”, Scarleteen is more likely to show up in their search results--which is preferable by far to either dehumanizing porn or TERF tirades.

I’m buying a castle.
https://www.moulin.nl/en/realestate/castle-for-sale-france-midi-pyrenees-gers-32_102909/
Update: The castle as of April 2015 is actually only around $1,300,000 USD now due to the currency exchange rates! :D
this goes even further, some European countries will give you a castle for free if you submit a plan stating how you intend to restore or preserve it. Italy alone for example has somewhere between 100 and 300 castles they intend to give away to anyone with intent to be a caretaker, they literally cant keep track of how many discount castles are up for grabs it doesn’t even have to be an ambitious plan, even if it says you just intend to keep it from becoming more shitty and will occasionally add a few bricks when you can afford it. given that most of them come with land you could convert the grounds to actually produce enough income to pay for the repairs- like setting up apple trees and brewing cider you sell with your castle name on the bottle, or raising some goats for cheese, a hobby farm could turn this into an actual income opportunity. hell, throwing parties at the castle could make it an income opportunity they will literally -GIVE- you a castle to make sure someone is taking care of it rather then let them all sit empty

Harvest Moon - Feudal Paradise
[Image description: a card on a lanyard reading “VidCon” in large letters, and above that, reading “In observance of the Sabbath, this attendee is not required to use their wristband at RFID locations from Friday, July 12 at 5:00pm through Saturday, July 13 at 11:59pm.]
This is so incredibly important. Religious Jews who keep Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) can’t use electronics (among other things) from sundown on Friday until nightfall on Saturday. As someone who used to keep Shabbat, it was so hard to participate in so many things. Simple things like electronic hotel door locks — or, in this case, RFID wristbands, can mean an event isn’t accessible to those who keep Shabbat. So, even though I’m not at VidCon myself (I’ve never been and I’m on the opposite side of the country!) and I don’t keep Shabbat anymore, I’m incredibly grateful and moved that they did this. This isn’t just a kind staffer waiving a rule for an individual, this is a convention-wide policy and system that allows observant Jews full participation in the con. This is what inclusion looks like. This is what welcoming diversity looks like. This is what making sure your space welcomes Jewish people looks like. Thank you thank you thank you.
(Non-Jews can definitely reblog this!)
the things i would imagine running alongside the car when i was a kid
This is gorgeous and I need a pack of them so we could run through the woods together hunting.
The Runalongs are rare in worlds without fast transportation. It seems they are brought into being when someone, bored by a journey, looks out to watch the countryside go by. They daydream of a creature that follows their path (guarding? Or hunting?) and suddenly, without fanfare, it appears.
Runalongs have little in the way of ecology, but they are known to eat other dreams. Sometimes if the one who called them is particularly lonely or afraid they will get closer and even speak in humming voices without opening their mouths. But the second you stop moving, the creatures turn and vanish behind themselves, disappearing to wherever fantasies come from.
A Runalong can also have other forms; a humanoid figure (without distinct features) is common, and these may also ride things that are supposed to be horses. If only we were better at imagining, then they might not look so terrifying.
WAIT
OTHER PEOPLE DID THIS
???????!!!
Mine were large cat-like creatures
I forget what mine were but I imagined this too! I like the name Runalongs.
Please, I’m nearly 30 and I still have Runalongs join me on long, boring car journeys. They must be able to sense people who are in need of their presence, for company, for entertainment, or are just so used to them being there.
when you put your hand palm down out the window and it jumps and sways in the speed, the pressure you feel, not quite solid but not quite air is the ghostly backs of the runalongs arching up for a pat.

WORM UNSTRINGED. THE ALLWORM
URGENT! If you're in Colorado, please, please be careful! If you know any trans men or transmasc people who might be in Colorado soon, please let them know about this. If you know any trans or LGBTQ+ groups, community centers, etc. in Colorado, make sure they're aware!
If you're cis, it's encouraged that you reblog this. Just spreading the word is a great opportunity to be an ally.
WTF
one of his messages to a trans man who has a big following was like "not every trans man follows you. You cant save them all" when he starting posting the dms to his insta story... this dude is evil. He said he has already had unprotected sex with 8 trans men.
Always listen to your brain wolf.
I love you brainwolf
september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone
Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.
His dad is dead, just don’t.
In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.
He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.
It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.
reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.
Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.

AO3 won the 2019 Hugo Award for Best Related Work!
Here’s the speech given by Naomi Novik when the award was accepted:
All fanwork, from fanfic to vids to fanart to podfic, centers the idea that art happens not in isolation but in community. And that is true of the AO3 itself. We’re up here accepting, but only on behalf of literally thousands of volunteers and millions of users, all of whom have come together and built this thriving home for fandom, a nonprofit and non-commercial community space built entirely by volunteer labor and user donations, on the principle that we needed a place of our own that was not out to exploit its users but to serve them.
Even if I listed every founder, every builder, every tireless support staff member and translator and tag wrangler, if I named every last donor, all our hard work and contributions would mean nothing without the work of the fan creators who share their work freely with other fans, and the fans who read their stories and view their art and comment and share bookmarks and give kudos to encourage them and nourish the community in their turn.
This Hugo will be joining the traveling exhibition that goes to each Worldcon, because it belongs to all of us. I would like to ask that we raise the lights and for all of you who feel a part of our community stand up for a moment and share in this with us.
They are not of the body. They will be absorbed.
Take this with you
to all my white followers who stew in unnecessary guilt trying to come to terms with the privilege you have, watch this
I’ve been watching all of the star trek shows from the beginning of Next Generation through Discovery. I’m at the beginning of Voyager at the moment and just saw Tuvok use his com badge to talk to an officer on the other side of the bridge. Haven’t seen this before, and strikes me as a bit weird. I love Star Trek, but I’m not as knowledgeable about the mythos as I’d like. Curious as to why Tuvok would have used his com badge for this purpose (it was to reprimand an officer for an off hand comment). Since the com badges seem to be recording devices as well (we see officers take them off plenty of times to have conversations “off the record”) could this be a way of kind of highlighting this exchange to formalize the reprimand, or is there something else going on?
Interesting. I never took the removal of the communicator as a deactivation of it, rather as a symbolic gesture. At the time it was made, we couldn’t yet envision our “always listening” technology, so I wonder if the writers did? Regardless it’s interesting to see that be the thought process of today.
wait
if they are “always listening” isnt that like, how we want cameras on policemen these days?
This scene from DS9 certainly seems to imply that removing the badges disables them as a Star Fleet *admiral* removes his comm badge explicitly to have an off-the-record discussion.
