I was just gonna leave this in the tags until I saw this note and had to bring my tags out to agree with them

[dukeofdune]

Some questions I’ve found to help when choosing a therapist:

Do you have your own therapist?

Why did you get into this job? (“I just like helping people” is not enough and also a bit of a yellow bordering on red flag for me)

How many people do you typically see at one time and how many are you seeing now?

When can and can’t you disclose our conversation with others (also who are these ‘others’)

Where do you stand politically? (Im kinda 50/50 on this question because for me it’s really important as both a trans girl and as someone who’s issues often stem from capitalism and if I have to explain that capitalism ≠ good then that’s not gonna fly with me)

For my fellow queers, I know it can be limiting but please please try and find a queer therapist. It helps soooo much. If you can’t, ask them about their sexuality/gender regardless. Asking straight/cis people to reflect on their identities is a great way to figure out what color those flags are.

Same goes for any racialized people! I’m white so I can’t speak to it with the experience but I would bet my left AND right hand that having someone of the same culture/lived experience is gonna be such a better environment to do therapy in.

Remember, you’re paying the therapist! I know there are some situations where people can be required to be in therapy but even then you aren’t stuck with any one of them.

Listen to your instincts, if things feel not 100% tell them that if you’re comfortable and otherwise finish the session and get outta there!

Therapy is a tool, you wouldn’t use a tool that hurt you so don’t think you have to keep seeing the same therapist just because you’ve been with them this far.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Any good therapist will understand when you tell them that you think you need to look for a different one. If you explain to them the sort of therapist you think you need they might even have some recommendations for you. In my experience at least most therapists and counselors I’ve been to understand that you need someone that you click with. Not everyone’s approach or focus will work for you.

[thepeacefulgarden]

Remember, they are someone you are hiring, so you can and should conduct a job interview. You definitely want to weed out people who aren’t going to be able to meet your needs, or who are dismissive of you, or are just…not good people.

[minesweeping]

not to be that guy but girls will read lemony snicket’s love letter to end all love letters ONCE and then have strange ideas abt romance forever

[minesweeping]

this did something to my brain

[nebulations]

[ID: A quote from Lemony Snicket’s “The Beatrice Letters” which reads: “I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong.” End ID]

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fuck you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

Anastasia 1997 is such a funny movie in that it's opening sequence is like, "the Romanovs died because rasputin put a curse on them AND NO OTHER REASON DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHY THE ROMANOVS ARE DEAD OKAY IT WAS RASPUTIN"

opening song of this movie literally a bunch of workers singing about how idle gossip is the only thing that gets them through this NASTY TERRIBLE REVOLUTION. what did they have a revolution about?? movie says don't worry about it!! look Anastasia wants to find her family don't you want her to find her family????

This.

Look, always remember. Any sort of porn ban will be used to:

ban a variety of queer content (both trans and just other queer stuff)

ban certain health education content (especially on women's health)

create a precedent to charge minorities for any sort of content that will be argued to be then "pornographic"

will also very certainly create precedent to go against platforms like tumblr and AO3 and whereever you consume your favorite fanwork

will definitely also charge any depiction of "female presenting nipples"

Even if you think all porn is bad (you are wrong by the way), this stuff is never just about porn. Heck, chances are they would use such a law to in some roundabout way also prevent simple sex ed!

Project 2025 has been full steam ahead!

This article is from July of 2024. I suggest we ALL get our hands on an illegal free copy of this damn book. It is basically our government now. What hasn't happened yet is coming. They have been following this shit bar for bar.

Opinion | Project 2025 proposes banning porn. Here's what that really means.

The far-right game plan for a second Trump term defines pornography to include "transgender ideology."

america is a fucked up place that's all i have to say about it. and then they make it everybody else's problem.

best of luck (because that's partially what it'll come down to). if there's anything a foreigner could do, i'd love to know.

[ankle-beez]

not to shit on zack snyder again but it's really funny that he tried to make a big, grand, complex moral quandary on where superman should stand when he saves people around the world and then james gunn is like "he wants to do it because he thinks it's the right thing to do". sometimes going simpler means you get to the crux of what the character is all about much more efficiently. like wow it's really that easy

[ankle-beez]

we still haven't seen much of gunn's version of clark but him screaming "people were going to DIE" in extreme frustration over pedestrian political nonsense (by no fault of lois' own, btw, it's just prepping him up for the inevitable placating everyone in power will want him to do) already gives us a much clearer vision for his character than what snyder did in 3 movies

[ankle-beez]

like wow it all really comes down to this one simple line, doesn't it. who gives a shit about whatever any high-ranking asshole has to lecture you about. people are going to die. people WILL die. you are in a blessed position where you can do something about it. and you WANT to do something about it. and you WILL.

pro-tip: don't ever use the sentence "thousands of years" in your worldbuilding unless you really know what a thousand years is like

[elbiotipo]

Quick cheat sheet:

The middle ages were one thousand years ago

I don't know if I need you to tell you this but Jesus was alive 2 thousand years ago during the Roman Empire

3 thousand years ago the Mediterranean and Middle East were recovering from the bronze age collapse. None of the philosophers of Western philosophy (or Eastern for that matter) were born yet

Earliest writing dates roughly to 5 thousand years ago.

Agriculture started roughly 10 thousand years ago

So yes, you can write whatever you like but if you're telling me that an individual dynasty has been ruling since 8000 years ago (HOLA JORGE) I have to wonder if they even had writing back then

John Boyega Calls Out Star Wars for Failing Black Heroes

John Boyega has once again spoken honestly about his experience in the Star Wars universe. In the Apple TV+ documentary Number One on the Call Sheet, he said Star Wars is “so white that a Black person existing in it was something.” His words reflect more than just his personal journey—they expose a long-standing discomfort within the franchise when it comes to Black characters in leading…

John Boyega Calls Out Star Wars for Failing Black Heroes

[galactic-lore]

I am gonna do bullet points to highlight important things the article mentions.

•Talks about how Amandla Stenberg, lead of The Acolyte, addressed the hate she faced before the show even aired, calling it a “rampage of hyper-conservative bigotry.” In a show of support, Boyega commented on her Instagram post with a GIF of Han Solo, a symbolic gesture of solidarity during a painful moment.

• Mentions Moses Ingram faced similar racist abuse after her role in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Disney issued a statement defending her, but the damage was already done. Kelly Marie Tran was bullied so badly after The Last Jedi that she left social media altogether.

•Talks about The Acolyte: Despite solid performances and fresh storytelling, the series was canceled after just one season. Online, racist influencers celebrated its end, calling it a win against “wokeness.” YouTube videos mocked the cast. Elon Musk posted a cryptic message that many interpreted as support for the backlash. The hate was loud, coordinated, and encouraged by platforms that profit off outrage.

• Lastly it talks about the treatment of Boyega, Stenberg, Tran, and so many others shows that the industry still has far to go. Until major studios stand firmly behind their stars, the cycle of casting, backlash, and silence will continue. And fans like Boyega—who wanted to lead and inspire—will keep calling it out.

introducing my four year old niece to the concept of "moral dilemmas" by telling her that i'm a monster that eats children and that i know it's wrong but i'm so so so hungry and everything else tastes yucky. i've tried all the human food in the world and it all tastes so yucky i can't even eat it. i can only eat children and i'm so hungry

[pipshinwhatever]

her resolution was that if i meet a kid that has the same name as their sibling, then i can eat one of them. their parents won't be sad, because they have another kid with the same name right there. speaks to an uninformed but fascinating worldview

[error-404-fuck-not-found]

our history teacher tried a similar tack but the theoretical scenario was "the man who invented the medicine necessary to save your wife is charging more money than you can pay and won't accept credit. you're against stealing but you also don't want your wife to die. what do you do?"

our answer was not only to steal the medicine but to murder the inventor because if he's paywalling life-saving medicine, the solution that involves the lowest body count is killing him. we're ethically and morally obligated to eliminate this threat to human survival

did not go the way he thought it would
