I know physical media isn’t a thing anymore but the way I want to own a Heated Rivalry bluray box set. Oh my god. Full six episode commentary with Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney. Full six episode commentary with Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie. Supercut of the best parts of the fucking press tour. Bloopers. Outtakes. Deleted scenes. Get the straights on What Chaos to give me a hockey primer. and I get to own it? Forever? Burn it on little discs and sell it to me. You can have all my money.

I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

[caspercryptid]

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

[pine-branches]

things humans are known to do when stressed:

-hallucinate

-cry over what seems to be small things

-become furiously angry over what seems to be small things

-hit a self destruct button over and over again

-lose all sense of reality

-becoming straight up unable to communicate

-view every situation as life or death

-experience delusions/become vulnerable to irrational worldviews

-perceive hostility where none exists

-become extremely nauseous and/or throw up

-stop engaging in sleeping/eating/basic hygiene

-stop processing sensory input

-process way too much sensory input all at once

-lash out at others/themselves

-and more!

being able to recognize when a human (ie. you or another person) is so stressed out they cannot think clearly is VERY important for conflict resolution and diffusing emotional crisis. highly recommend trying to train yourself at being able to recognize that state of panic- there is a point in which logic and rationality is useless and you have to address the underlying emotional issue first. knowing that saves everyone a lot of pain and struggle.

I have started refusing to move out of the way for oncoming ablebodied people and so far today I've nearly crashed into 3 cis boys. wheelchairs get right of way :) I'm no longer yanking on my shoulders (which hurts, btw) to make sharp turns to dodge ablebodied people who don't want to walk 2 feet to the left. either get out of the way or say goodbye to your ankles :)

it's really funny to watch them startle and jump to the side when they realize I'm not moving to the side for them. they're so used to being prioritized on walkways that they subconsciously expect me to move for them. I'm not doing that anymore. my shoulders hurt and I'm not putting myself in more pain to dodge you anymore lol. get the fuck out of my way.

[godzilla-reads]

I am very attached to some of my vintage dog-related books. I have a couple Lassie adventure books, and I love love love anything by Albert Payson Terhune and his collies. Actually I’m very attached to collie books, but dogs are amazing and I love them all.

I feel this emotion so hard

[deathgripsforcutie]

i always thought it was funny how in the lord of the rings sam and frodo head out and after awhile sam’s like “mr. frodo if i take one more step this is the farthest from the shire ive ever been” and then a ways after they meet up with merry and pippin on their daily vegetable run like jesus christ sam get out of the house once in awhile

Parents: "I need you traumatized because I believe that you'll cope with the trauma by obeying me."

Parents: "Your trauma is no longer convenient for me. I need you to stop being traumatized."

I saw this when it was posted! Some highlights from the comments:

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

some things that horror movie culture has taught you are scary…. are just ableist

[artishroom]

….clarify?

[fangirlinginleatherboots]

okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people who’s bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.

its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing an “episode” of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc

literally the only “horror” is the ableism. and the only way you can write good horror about disability and mental illness is if the focus is on how society and the medical field treat us rather than focusing on how we are apparently so scary, threatening, and bad.

[quiet-reassurance]

Horror is and has historically been an incredibly ableist genre, and it is still largely unrecognized as such. This has genuine severe and real-life consequences for disabled and neurodivergent people in real life. Please keep this in mind if you are abled and/or neurotypical.

[mindflamer]

honest to god we've got to start naming the elderly as a vulnerable group & calling their disabilities, disabilities. we sugarcoat and distance these things by only calling them "elderly," "old & frail," etc. most of them are disabled.

too many people completely separate disability from themselves in their mind. it's something that happens to other people. other sad people i don't want to think about. are they really even people, it's too much to bear thinking about that happening to a person... those background characters over there. it would never be me, i can't cope with thinking about that possibility.

this mass denialism of the fragility of the human body (YOUR human body) has created a whole category separate from the disabled - the "elderly." since anyone can join it if they live long enough.. no they can't be disabled. that's scary, and worse it's political. so they are just "old." so what they lost their hearing, their mobility, their heart function? that's just how it goes for old people. as if that's not a person as real as you. as if you wouldn't be devastated if that happened to you today (and it can btw). as if you won't be when it's your turn to be old, and disabled.

simultaneously the disabled are dehumanized as not people, and the elderly are dehumanized as not disabled. so the illusion of disability as separate can be upheld.

This is a big part of what I mean when I say ending covid prevention in full was bald-faces eugenics

Many older adults who died of COVID weren’t close to death before infection, study suggests

In fact, 28% would likely have lived at least another 5 years if they hadn't contracted the virus.

"Why would they support such a thing." you may ask. Money, frankly.

So many Americans died from COVID, it boosted Social Security to the tune of $205 billion | Fortune

The increase is “driven primarily by the premature death of people who would have received retirement benefits.”

Propping up the economy by throwing grandma in the wood chipper. Mask up. Keep your communities safer and healther. Stop viral eugenics in its tracks.

underrated benefit of masking everywhere:

being spared most of the smells in every busy public restroom.

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

[ashintheairlikesnow]

"Going a couple hours without eating a single kind of food? No thanks, I would rather kill a child" is such a wildly horrifying take to see MULTIPLE people proudly stating.

[milf--adjacent]

I wonder how many people reblogging this scornfully stopped masking circa 2022 because "the high risk will protect themselves" from covid.

every other week, my mom would make a giant pot of vegetable soup. she'd pack half of it in a tupperware and take it to her best friend's house. they both had three kids whose ages aligned. they'd lock us out of the house and go through each room, finding every piece of dirty laundry and then spend the afternoon keeping the washer and dryer running, folding and putting away each load while gossiping.

every alternate week, her best friend would come to our house with a tupperware full of chicken spaghetti. they'd stick us in front of a tv with a stack of disney vhs tapes and go through each room, finding every dirty dish, and then spend the afternoon at the kitchen sink, washing each dish by hand while gossiping.

it wasn't always soup and spaghetti and laundry and dishes. but it was almost always a meal and a chore. here is a night you don't have to cook dinner. here is a chore you can cross off your list. and here is a day you don't have to spend alone. because really food and friendship and a feeling of accomplishment are what we all need most.
