The Shawn & Gus dynamic in Psych is so subtly yet beautifully shaped by the fact that they cast a naturally deadpan introvert to play the world's most hyperactive attention-seeking detective, then cast a chronic theater kid to play his supposedly boring, reasonable best friend

6 Ways To Handle Scapegoating

Scapegoating is a harmful practice that often leads to social injustice. This article outlines the psychology behind scapegoating and strategies for coping with its emotional impact.

Scapegoating is a psychological defense mechanism where one person or group is unfairly blamed for problems that are actually caused by others. It’s a common occurrence in various settings, including families, workplaces, and social groups. The term originates from the biblical practice where a goat was sent into the wilderness to carry away the sins of the community. It is a harmful practice…

Superman is good because Clark Kent is good. And Clark Kent isn’t innately good simply because he’s powerful or Kryptonian. He is good because his ship had the good fortune to crash on the Kents’ farm one fateful night. Because they raised him.

there was a fire in the building that houses my studio on new year's eve. i'll probably elaborate on that more at some point idk but tldr

it wasn't a big fire, nobody lost any stuff, nobody was hurt. the electrical mains gave up the ghost (likely due to an ongoing leak the landlord wouldn't fix)

but because the landlords have already wanted us out for ages so they can "redevelop" (read: tear down a slightly run-down building from around 1900) the place into Yet More Soulless Shiny Flats Nobody Around Here Can Afford they decided the damage is uneconomical to repair, refused our offer to contribute to repair costs, and are kicking us all out

because there was an "accident" causing "irreparable damage" they're exempt from the usual 3-month waiting period and everyone has to vacate by Feb 1

this is a community space occupied by artists and musicians so now there are a couple dozen broke-ass bitches who have to relocate short notice. the landlord, spectrum properties, is refusing to extend the time any further

so! there will shortly be some form of gofundme type situation to raise money for the costs of doing that (like storage units if we can't find another studio space), and also to tide over any artists who relied on that space for income since they've not had anywhere to work for a couple of weeks and probably won't for several more

i'll reblog this with the link when that's up and running but uh. yeah. that's a thing. which is happening.

The Power of Assertiveness: How to Harness It for Success

Assertiveness is a valuable communication and interpersonal skill that empowers individuals to express their needs, opinions, and boundaries confidently and respectfully. Harnessing the power of assertiveness can lead to personal growth, improved relationships, and greater success in various areas of life. As an  talktoangel online counselor, I can provide some guidance on how to develop assertiveness and use it for success:

Using assertiveness for success:

In the workplace, assertiveness can help you communicate effectively with colleagues and superiors, advocate for your ideas, and negotiate for better opportunities.

In personal relationships, assertiveness fosters open and honest communication, leading to deeper connections and understanding.

In managing stress and conflict, assertiveness can help you express your needs and feelings, reducing resentment and tension.

Assertiveness can lead to increased self-confidence and self-esteem, as you gain control over your life and decisions.

Remember that learning to be assertive may take time and practice, especially if you have a history of being passive or aggressive. If you find it challenging to develop assertiveness on your own, seeking help from an “online counselor” or therapist can provide valuable support and guidance in this process. They can offer personalized strategies and techniques tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.

I just wanted to say I really admire how effortlessly masculine you are but how you also love so many traditionally "feminine" things. I am working on coming out as a trans man and dread people telling me I'm not allowed to knit and stuff anymore

One of the annoying aspects of transition is you become this walking litmus test for weird gender essentialism - even in progressive folks - and you're gonna learn just how much people deprive themselves of personal joy because of it.

I cannot tell you how many well-meaning people ended up shitting on my hobbies out of a desire to give me "man lessons" that I never asked for in the first place.

All I can say is, stick to your guns. Sure, knitting has also historically been a masculine activity, but to acknowledge such feels like giving credence to the argument that you have to drop "unmanly" interests. Knit because you like to knit, not because you are "allowed to" based on some gendered technicality.

Don't feel like you need to sacrifice parts of yourself in order to transition. If the best version of you is a man who knits, or a man who likes pink, or a man who enjoys wearing makeup, resist the urge to destroy these pieces of yourself.

Detractors will attempt to weaponize everything about you in an attempt to de-legitimize who you are. The most radical thing you can do is show them how your passions only make you stronger.

The dread is real, but it gets easier to assert yourself over time. You might even find yourself becoming an ambassador to other men wrt your hobbies. Good luck!
