this part of stevie nicks’ interview with rolling stone is taking me out

[weaseltotheface]

Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato

[weaseltotheface]

Actually let's get specific with it

*checks wiki*

Everybody say thank you indigenous people of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from 7-10,000 years ago for the humble potato

Okay, so this post always makes me giggle

But I was thinking just now...

Literally no one in the friend group aside from Aang knows Zuko was the Blue Spirit

So do you think... they're just hanging out in the palace post canon all piled up in one of the rooms reserved for when the royal family wants to chill—and Zuko is voicing his (extremely reasonable) upset about his father for one reason or another

And Sokka just says something like, "So are you gonna just leave him to rot in jail for the rest of his life, or are you gonna give him another punishment?"

And Zuko goes quiet. Thinking. Then he says, "Maybe I should send him on a quest to capture the Blue Spirit to regain his honor"

And Aang just fucking loses it

yesterday i had a nice southern teenager call me "ma'am" and then look at me and go, in a well-meaning tone, "uhhhh, if you go by ma'am. sorry if not." and i had to be like yeah man ma'am is fine. appreciate you being inclusive though. i could almost see the little warning pop up in his UI-- hold up! people with blue hair often have pronouns. are you sure you want to address this individual with a gendered term?

the next day after exerting myself too much because i felt good for once

when people who want to be vaguely progressive say 'nature' all secular style but it's painfully obvious they mean 'god' while thinking they don't mean god

[maykitz]

"natural behaviour" "the natural body" "nature intended" "nature created" no da fuck it didn't

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

“Culture tends to argue that it forbids only that which is unnatural. But from a biological perspective, nothing is unnatural. Whatever is possible is by definition also natural. A truly unnatural behaviour, one that goes against the laws of nature, simply cannot exist, so it would need no prohibition.” - Yuval Noah Harari

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.

Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

Except, critically, at bedtime.

[findersfeeders]

Ravings and urges get miscoded over time. Let’s say you’re thirsty, and you live in a strawberry field. Strawberries contain some water and a bunch of sugar so, over time, you may start to crave strawberries when you are thirsty because you get a reward and some relief in shorter time from the need starting than the trek to the stream. This can happen for every need: sleep, food, whatever.

Trevor Noah has a great tip, that when he craves ice cream at night he breaks it down into parts: I want something cold, I want something sweet. He drinks a glass of cold water then waits to see if he still has the ice cream craving. Usually he doesn’t.

So listening to your body isn’t “follow every urge” but “decompose the urge to discover the underlying need.”

If you always feel like getting cozy in bed you may be: cold, dehydrated, and/or malnourished (maybe a need for high calories that are bioaccessible…not processed).

If you do not feel tired at bedtime you may: need to eat dinner earlier because your body is still digesting, need to exercise or go outside more during the day, get the fuck off your screen for an hour so your brain can enter sleep mode.

Hope this helps someone.

P.S. notice i said nothing about neurodivergence. Not that it’s not a likelihood but the over-pathologization of behaviors prevents us from taking simple actions to improve our wellbeing. Also, these tips are pretty accessible and applicable to most brain variations.

this did numbers on tiktok so i’ll post it here too :)

merry lexmas everybody!!

[clarkslex]

it kind of just occurred to me how funny it is that on their second meeting lex looked clark in the eye and said “we have a future and i don’t want anything to stand in the way of our friendship” and clark just went yeah okay sounds good to me and then this man proceeded to get too involved in his love life and tried to give his family money on multiple occasions and hired lawyers to get his farm back and harbored and got medical attention for a fugitive because clark asked and told him their friendship was gonna be the stuff of legends and tied his tie and shot a man to save his dad’s life and hid a minor in his home that clark legally kidnapped and got the necessary restraining order to keep said minor safe and dropped an absurd amount of money on bail bc clark asked and gave him access to caves that the linguist he hired said no one could have access to and asked to live with him when he lost everything instead of with his girlfriend and made him his best man (twice) and came back from the dead and said “three months on a deserted island was almost worth it just to see the look on your face” and bought the deed to his family’s farm so it wouldn’t foreclose and asked for nothing in return except to be a part of the family and came straight to clark when he was going out of his mind and under attack and needed a place to hide and kept his secret for a month while in a mental institution and screamed that clark was taken when he himself was literally being dragged to have his brain fried and let clark steal his car and return it and never called him out on it and pulled him out of a tank that was killing clark even tho he sold him out to his evil abusive father and threw him a surprise party

and clark really walked into a room that was essentially a shrine to him and had the audacity to be shocked

[ekkolocat1on]

Hear me tf out okay. This version of Clark who is known for being too trusting and *too* honest with people, who’s parents raised him to be that way, meeting and befriending this version Lex who would have killed for an honest friendship.

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

if they're gonna remake The Princess Bride, it should open with a kid sick in bed scrolling on his phone. his grandpa arrives with a gift--it's a DVD player with a disc already inside. grandpa hooks it up to the TV and presses play. and we all just watch the original 1987 film again.
