Salem inspired by ghetto fabulous fashion/aesthetic (WIP)

[rabbitkinglune777]

making him aggressively black coded...I think trans men who are feminine are cool but I wanna express my feminity in a way that isn't as "white" centered ig (hard to explain iykyk)

[rabbitkinglune777]

also giving him grillz cuz it's cool asf,,,I want Salem to be an outlet to embrace black aspects of myself and culture that are especially looked down on or seen as "uncultured" until a non black person appropriates it!

[rabbitkinglune777]

likw, I love drawing black coded furries who are prideful they are black in many different ways! it's rly fun and a good outlet

and with Salem I don't see black transmasculinity expressed the way I do it, it's lonely a lil bit but fuck it we ball. he's so cute and sexy and fun!!! he owns it!

I think we should just start shoving random extremely nsfw text in the middle of posts to ensure that lazy youtube shorts post readers can’t properly steal them

phew

Missed opportunity honestly, why talk about sex when you can instead make the content farms talk about communism instead. Can you image the random guy just quoting

This isn't part of the post. I need to tell you that if you've ever felt sad about the fact that you're not a girl, it's not too late. You can just be a girl. It's allowed. You can be a lesbian. You don't have to suffer thinking about how much you want to be the cool athletic tomboy with the short hair and flat chest, or like that girl you had a crush on in high school despite the fact that she was a lesbian. You can be her. It's not too late. It's never too late.

An international research team has discovered that the fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is biofluorescent. A study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science shows that the salamander reflects turquoise light when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. This phenomenon had gone unnoticed until now, despite decades of research on this amphibian species.

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!

"Be careful, there're mimics in this dungeon. They can take on the shape of any object!"

"Wait, they can do that? I thought they just look like chests."

"No, they can grow into all sorts of shapes."

"Do they maintain that shape after they die?"

"Yes. Why are you asking?"

"I just had an idea for a new business venture."

I'm on vacation with my dad for the first time in years, and its been really nice so far. We're at the shore of Lake Michigan and ive never been here before and it's so crazy to be at a beach that doesn't smell like brine. I still can't walk on sand though, it gives me a major debuff to walking speed and stamina overall ;w; and like literally within maybe 2 seconds of stepping onto the sand I ate shit and fell right on my ass cause my ankles are fuuuucked lmao

Anyway it's pretty here, I wish we were staying for longer but we're gonna be leaving Friday.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

As a former librarian I'm actually required to remind you that many libraries that subscribe to Libby are opted into a program that lets you subscribe and access magazines for free with no wait

And that this is actually a really fun, low cost way to not only access news and larger cultural magazines, but also to get free patterns for many different crafts that you can screenshot if need be and that lower the financial barriers to entry for trying new things

From my experience working in both academic and public libraries, many libraries are use it or lose it funding-- I have to say this because a lot of patrons feel guilty for how much they use the library and how often they're using it funny enough, but the worst thing you can do for libraries is not try out new features and not use what's already given to you as much as possible.

The numbers that come as a result of your patronage are how most libraries justify their continued existence in times of financial hardship, which sucks but, go check out some magazines on Libby!

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

That was a really fun read I love him just flat out challenging anyone to show him proof of the species in the state then going on to pretty much say ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT HERE
