Saw my therapist about my arm yesterday and it went well. But she’s going to the US next week for a conference. I said, oh. She said, yeah. Pregnant pause. She said, the numbers are down on last year, people cancelling. I said, well, you’ll probably be fine at the border, you’re white and you have blue eyes. She said, probably, but I don’t have a dick.
This is how perceptions of travelling to the US have changed in the last few weeks. However, Australians have been detained by border officials and sent back here for no good reason even before now, due to the weird culture among a significant number of US border officials who are suspicious of anyone not from the US.
#US politics#changing perceptions#even white non US citizens are wary of visiting legally due to weird behaviour at border control#it was present before trump but probably an order of magnitude worse now#the US is currently on my list of countries I wouldn’t risk visiting#hope you resist successfully

TW: Heavily implied Child Abuse
Stowaway AU where Pacifica becomes a stowaway on the Stan-O-War 2 after trying to run away from home to California. Things don’t exactly work out as planned, but at least she’s got a “Summer Internship” away from her parents now!
#gravity falls#Pacifica Northwest#Stanley Pines#Stanford Pines#Stowaway AU#my art#doodles#sorry I’ve been gone a while been busy with project and just plain general work#but had some free time today and finally put pen to paper on an idea I’ve had a for a while now!#Pacifica calls Stan by his name but still calls Ford Mr Pines because she’s got that ettiquette and fear of authority ingrained in her#but Stan is a bugger so she feels better just calling him Stan lol#this is honestly just a roundabout way of saying Stan is naturally good with kids I think#the more paternal grunkle lol#Also I feel like ghost rules in the show are ghosts can change their perception based on how powerful they are#since sometimes they’re invisible or unseen by people unless the ghost wills it (i.e. inconveniencing)#but Pacifica’s just too ghost pilled so she’s always seeing them regardless#Ford is very interested in the science of how this works and Stan has to remind him she’s still trying to get over trauma give her a second#I feel like after this summer at least specifically for this AU she’d end up staying with either Soo and Melody or the Corduroys#Soos might even say they’re siblings since he also sees Stan as a father figure and then Pacifica says ‘dang guess I gotta go die now’#from embarrassment lol

BEAUTIFUL SHADE OF FORDTRAMARINE!

#Notes: I keep thinking about how Bill altered Ford's colour cones so Ford can see his favourite colours...#Just the horror of an entity beyond your imagination changing you in a way that affects your every waking moment#But also Ford would wanna know about these new colours... This probably doesn't affect him too badly either 🧐#if he could alter colour perception#what else could he have altered?#also pls ignore the fact that he has five fingers on one of the hands i made a mistake#gravity falls#ford pines#stan pines#stanford pines#stanley pines

having a lot of thoughts and feelings about this comparison


#arcane#jinx#praying this new look means she starts embracing both sides of her instead of quote unquote letting powder die like silco wanted#hoping silcos death means shes free to make her own decisions and decide who she wants to be without someone manipulating her#and changing her perception of herself and those around her

hey guys… we all know that it’s okay for mithrun to have a caretaker for the rest of his life, right? that even after he heals and potentially regains his desires he will probably still need support?? that the goal of healing is not to become a “normal person”, but to build skills to navigate the world in a way that accommodates your disability??? that relying on the people around you is not a failure, but proof of your desire to live????
#i’ve seen multiple posts the last couple weeks saying that post-canon fan works that show mithrun w/ a caretaker#are ‘wrong’ because they imply that he will never overcome his trauma#there’s something more to be said about the difference in the perception of/expectations for mithrun’s recovery#depending on whether you read him as an allegory for depression or an allegory for chronic (physical) illness#both are valid btw - it just may change the way you headcanon his future (especially if you live with something similar yourself)#but that’s for another post that i will probably never make#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#dunmeshi spoilers#mithrun#mithrun of the house of kerensil

"For nearly two decades, the percentage of Americans who are committed climate skeptics has been pretty consistently below 10%. Likewise, if you ask Americans whether global warming is happening, roughly 4/5ths will say "yes".
[This graph] didn't change me because I got a useful piece of data, it changed me because this did not align with my perceived understanding of the situation. If you had asked me before I saw this graph, I would've told you that probably 50% of people in America thought that climate change is a scam or a hoax [...]
But if you believe that, you are fighting the wrong fight every day. You think there's a bunch of people who are impossible to convince so you're not trying to convince them. When actually the situation is mostly they're convinced, they're just not convinced that it is the thing that we need to be concentrating on right now because they're dealing with some other problem like the price of eggs at the grocery store.
So 1) you're caught fighting the exact wrong fight and 2) you're fighting it with the weight of despair tied around your neck.
If we could say this in the fewest words possible, it would be something like, With today's information ecosystem, it is very easy to believe that 50% of people hold the views of the most extreme 10% of them [...].
And it is no use to be weighed down by a world that isn't actually this one. This one's hard enough as it is."

In another, happier universe, Ratchet has a nightmare, sadly Optimus is bad at lying
Yesterday I was talking to another person about how much Optimus valued Ratchet in the Marvel comics and I still can’t get over it
#I was talking to another person who knows what the average person knows about transformers and started talking about marvel Optiratch#oh yeah man here’s Optimus going bonkers over his hot medic the yearning is insane#I may have changed their perception of Optimus way too much but you know what#I don’t regret it#ik i already drew this but fuuuuck the price of life is in my head again#transformers#transformers fanart#transformers marvel#tf g1#ratchet#optimus prime#Optiratch#maccadams

(small child starting to meltdown) “Hey, hey. *snapping* We’ll play later, okay?”
#idk why but this is making me emotional#something about how jack is surrounded by all this chaos and all these people#but he recognizes the rising wobbling voice and the getting-overwhelmed body language#how many almost-meltdowns do we think jack had to snap little lukey out of?#lukey always so intense and feeling things so hard#and jack always so perceptive and calming him right back down#also something very sad about jack on his draft day promising his little cousin that “we’ll play later”#because after this day jack’s life changes forever#he goes from high schooler to full-time professional hockey player#a brutal rookie year. a life lived on the road. injuries.#did he ever actually get to play one last game with his little cousin?#did jack know it would be an empty promise?#jack hughes#post#jhughes & kids tag

personal take on fem tsukasa
#no the white bow is not part of my vision...... my apologies#if i was more tsukasa literate id think more about how being a girl would change her character and how the people around her react to her#like. instead of 'oh shes surprisingly caring' maybe more like 'oh shes surprisingly disruptive as fuck' because of hashtag society#and hashtag gender roles and whatever#but like i said. not really that well versed on everything he has going on so im just gonna leave it at the design#ann art#prsk#pjsk#tsukasa tenma#femkasa#prsk fa#So stupid looking in every universe god bless#IG WHAT I MEAN IS being a role model of an older sibling and being responsible i feel are traits more expected in girls. so it wouldnt rly#be 'unusual' or unexpected of her to be like that. i think. idk.#among other things probably. like realistically a lot of her personality would be changed but ASSUMING its identical to the original.. what#sequence of events/reactions/perceptions would have to have happened to get there. yknow. maybe.#education major in several child psych/development courses in ur area ! my bad

There's also a reason I almost always say "harm" when talking about issues in the church and not "bigotry". Bigotry is part of harm, sure, but it isn't the whole picture.
I think sin doctrine is harmful. I think the concept of original sin is harmful. I think purity culture is harmful. I think hell doctrine is harmful. I think vertical morality is harmful. I think mandatory forgiveness is harmful. I think sin leveling is harmful. I think emotion and behavior and thought control are harmful. I think child indoctrination is harmful. I think believing you are separate from the world ("we're in the world not of the world") is harmful. I think isolating/insulating yourself from the world is harmful. I think believing this life is your "practice life" and your "real life" is in heaven is harmful. I think believing that you alone hold the one source of truth is harmful. I think spiritual bypassing is harmful. I think atonement theology is harmful. I think proselytizing is harmful. I think telling people that their thoughts, actions, emotions, beliefs are being monitored every second of every day is harmful. I think believing you are more knowledgeable than experts because you have an all knowing God on your side is harmful. I think believing you know other people's experiences better than they do because you have an all knowing God on your side is harmful. I think encouraging/requiring victims of abuse to put up with abuse because divorce is a sin is harmful. I think prioritizing faith over evidence is harmful.
I'm certainly missing things but this is long enough as is. And not every christian or church does or believes every single one of these, but none of these are one-off or two-off or even three-off things I've experienced. These are all patterns I've noticed.
So I find it odd that when I talk about harm within christianity, a lot of christians only hear "bigotry". And I also find sentiments along the lines of "it's not the doctrine it's the people carrying out the doctrine imperfectly" odd. Even if there were a church that was 100% bigotry free, addressing bigotry doesn't automatically address any of these other things. And I think that the harm christianity does goes far beyond bigotry. I think a lot of the harm is baked into it, baked right into the doctrine. Which means that for every person causing harm by carrying out the doctrine "incorrectly", there are just as many causing harm by carrying it out "correctly".
#ex christian#religious trauma#exvangelical#ex fundamentalist#and like. you're well within your right to disagree with me that these things are harmful#but going “nuh uh” doesn't change my perception. doesn't get rid of the trauma. doesn't maks me feel safer#you're free to dismiss me. but you can't be shocked when i don't trust you#mine

day 6 || this era lasted like 2 minutes but i love it anyway
#daily gi-hun#art post#redhead gi-hun my beloved#i know i barely ever draw him w/ red hair its not on purpose i swear#god this era of gi-hun in general is just so. hes exquisite to me okay#all eras of gi-hun are exquisite jsyk but while we r on the topic of this one#ppl kinda misunderstand this gi-hun lots i think. it was esp bad in 2021 i remember when he turned around before getting on the plane#hes not healed. like. At All.#if im being honest i dont even think this couldve been the START of a healing journey for him#other people have pointed this out before but like. what was he gonna do in america#that guilt would still follow him there. the trauma and ptsd would still be a huge part of his life#and its not like there are readily available resources for dealing with the trauma of going thru a death game#yeah he'd get to be with his daughter but ga-yeong is very perceptive and i think she'd notice the changes within her dads personality#which could even put a different kind of strain on their relationship thats different from the kind that existed before#gi-hun could only rlly distract himself for so long. i feel like even if he did go to america it'd just be a matter of time before he >#> couldnt take it anymore and went back to stop the games OR. something.. Worse.#its just not the kind of person gi-hun is. to forget like people want him to. thats just not him im sorry#there was never a world where he got on that plane and left it behind for good#anyway whatever i dont think we should shame a guy for trying to stop mass murder#yea we can debate all day about the effects his self isolation had on other people but i will NOT back down on him being right for TRYING#(side note: you can acknowledge gi-huns isolation had negative effects on other people [ie his daughter] WITHOUT VICTIM BLAMING HIM)#squid game#seong gihun#seong gi hun#squid game fanart#my art#doodle
