Rio talking to baby Nicky

Rio: sir, are you aware that these, right here, are your hands? Rio: they belong to you. And you get to decide what to do with them. Rio: so when you use these hands to pull your binky out of your mouth that is not necessarily a Mami problem. Rio: I'll fix it obviously. Rio: I just want you to acknowledge that it's not my fault.

The definition of a woman is an adult human female, right? Is that transphobic?

No offense to you, I just want to see if the trans movement can actually define the term woman since I haven't been able to and I think your blog could help. I'm new to this and I'm pretty curious. Again, absolutely no offense meant and I'm sorry if you take any.

When I was a kid, I thought that nobody actually wanted to be a girl. That it's just one of those unfortunate fates you get handed, like being born with no eyes or no legs or something. That it's something miserable, that's supposed to be miserable, and everyone else is just better at sucking up and enduring it than I am. That it's supposed to hurt and you're supposed to act like it doesn't, and that's just what everyone does.

Being born in mid-90s, I was vaguely aware that trans women exist, but I was like 13 when I discovered that it goes the other way around too. Like you can transition female-to-male. And my first thought was "how hasn't everyone done this?" I thought it had to be some very well-guarded secret, because otherwise how else would they stop every woman from flocking to these things. My first initial thought was that if women knew there was an option to just stop being women, the world would run out of women.

I don't understand why anyone would want to be a woman, but it gradually came to my understanding that some women do. They actually enjoy that. So, as far as I'm concerned, the definition of "woman" is anyone who wants to be one. I don't understand why anyone does, but it's not off my plate if someone does.

The definition of a woman is a person who wants to be a woman. That is none of my business for as long as they let me stray out of it.

A Little Note : A.I. vs the Human Running This Page

* If you've read all of my last post, this is basically a word-for-word copy, so there's no need to follow this! *

EVERYTHING ON MY POSTS, besides the obvious quotes, ARE WRITTEN BY ME, MYSELF, and I.

I've been seeing too many posts with added history written by A.I., which is really stupid, considering that those types of technologies are wrong and don't list the specific data they utilize to get their information. Because I'm very wordy or know certain things doesn't mean I use a bot... you'd probably know if I did because I'd be posting every day💀 Instead, I bestow upon you real human text, an info-dump on a random thing I find online and think is pretty and/or interest asf, promises I can't deliver (aka I severely forget about or am too busy to do *rip March's posts lmfao*), and horrifically inconsistent posts.

I may make grammar mistakes here and there because I am also writing a book in my free time (that's why I'm usually too stressed to make posts—trust me, you should see my drafts—they're there, but I love to add info, yet it's time-consuming). My Grammarly hates me, and the feeling is as mutual as glass. I felt the need to get that out of the way, too.

I'm now adding all my sources so nobody mistakes this as A.I. garbage. It's not! I should've done this from the get-go, but it didn't feel necessary at first, as I barely did info posts. But if you do see something off, or you just enjoy this post and want to add to the conversation, please feel free to comment!! :)

...

I'm just a twenty-year-old girl who loves art of all kinds, history, and science. More than that, I am HUMAN, and I believe that willpower over a machine (rage against the machine💀) is the greatest form of intelligence anybody can possess. Let me explode all the knowledge I know to y'all without your fear that this is some bot typing everything you see. You can trust my page, and I welcome any type of comment if you see something off.

...

Thank you all for tuning in to my posts. I should have a better explanation for my absences, which I will concoct at some point. I appreciate feedback and the support on my posts!! I do this for fun, so don't expect me to ever turn to the dark side! That's primarily why I stray from reblogging art+history posts, but you can count on this page staying squeaky clean!

Much love;

Kaiti (@kaitropoli) <xx

Peter: I don't think anything will ever validate me more then watching a group of literal brain and heart surgeons confidently walk into the conference room, only to have their leader sadly shuffle out to my office 15 minutes later and ask me to come help them with the projector.

Peter: Having Stephen, a 5000 year old neurosurgeon say, "You're not gonna be able to fix it, Peter is the only one who can do it," is the modern day equivalent of being fed grapes on a fainting chair.

Kaity Eighty Story and Facts

LORE POST GO

Early Life/Childhood

At the beginning of her life, her infant brain was aptitude tested and was confirmed to be in the 90th IQ percentile or higher, and was soon whisked away from her parents at the young age of 5 hours old. All documents surrounding her birth and existence were destroyed, and she was soon to be habilitated in military school.

Growing up, she didn’t necessarily have friends, but brothers and sisters she would rely on. She had an aptitude for taking things apart and putting them back together, such as pencil sharpeners and mechanical toys. Her teachers became aware of this, and transferred her into an engineering program, with an emphasis in machinery. 

Messing with machines for assignments was probably the happiest she was in her childhood. She stayed in school until about 14 years old, where she graduated and was soon assigned to the Side Order project.

She was in charge of designing life-sustaining and oxygen producing machinery for the fallen dome, utilizing the nuclear power that was present.

With the sudden influx of Zapfish, the project was prosperous and a young Kaity was making great progress.

However, Zapfish would soon begin to disappear as the events of the first Splatoon occurred.

Splatoon 1

Kaity was really close to figuring out a solution to safely connect the nuclear power to power oxygen production, enabling a solution that would require minimum monitoring and could possibly be applicable to all the domes.

This would revolutionize life in the domes, as an infinite power source for oxygen would be a miracle for a civilization so reliant on electricity.

However, just as she was about to hit save, the Zapfish that powered her section of the project was ripped from its socket, and everything was shot for power for a while before the backup electricity kicked in.

Kaity had lost everything. About 2 years of work, calculation, research and scripture was lost in just a simple outage.

Needless to say, a young Kaity was fucking furious.

She went up to her manager and demanded to be relocated as a military force to find whoever did this and to make them PAY.

Through propaganda, she would discover Agent 3 was the one ripping out the power. She decided to set her sights on Agent 3.

Splatoon 2

After a lot of demanding and determined requests, she was transferred to the armed forces.

There, she met Kirakira, a young octoling who wasn’t sure what to do with himself, so he applied to the most basic of forces.

Kaity and Kira would begin to grow a powerful bond. At one point they would even say they were brothers.

Finally, when their basic training was complete, they were assigned together to an area where members of the NSS had an interest. An unstable area on the mountains.

On their first day on the job, it didn’t take them long to spot a 17 year old Sicily.

Memories flashing before her eyes of the lost files, she began to fight with Sicily, much to Kira and Sicily’s dismay because of the unstable conditions.

As such, the surface they were fighting on began to crumble, and eventually gave out beneath the three of them.

Octo Expansion

Octo Expansion.

Kaity forgets everything prior! Yay no more file bloodlust!

When she heard the Calamari Inkantation, she developed an extreme longing for the surface.

At this time, everyone called her Hachi, but her accent made it sound like Aachi, which prompted the nickname.

After finishing the campaign and defeating Commander Tartar, the OTH helicopter immediately transports everyone to the NSS Military Hospital. Kaity, Kira and Sicily are treated for injuries.

Left without a memory of everything prior, Kaity feels extremely bad for an injured Sicily. She stays by her side constantly.

Marina begins to teach Kaity and Kira a little Inklish. Kaity is way more receptive to the lessons than Kira is, but Kaity is happy to translate for him.

She’s also a huge Squid Sisters fan and freaked out during Sicily’s big genetics reveal.

After Sicily was discharged from the hospital, Kaity stuck with her to help take care of her.

Kaity begins to learn more about life on the surface, and begins to fall in love with life. And eventually… with Sicily.

Sicily cracks her egg and she realizes she’s a girl, and changes her name from Aachi to Kaity Eighty.

After Sicily feels better, she sticks around to help with rehabilitation training.

SO much romantic tension during spar sessions dear god. These girls should kiss and commence yuri (they do)

Splatoon 3

At a NSS going away party for Sicily and the Squid Sisters to go to Splatsville, Kaity proposes and the girls are engayged.

She gets employed at Ammo Knights as a Weapons Consultant and Modifier. She’s popular for weapon repairs and being a design assistant for Grizzco weapons.

However, she would soon be assigned to return to the Side Order project for the Side Order campaign, due to areas near the project’s location above ground becoming dangerous and polluted.

Originally only she would go with Off the Hook, but Caroline insisted on tagging along with her.

She would go for a month and then return for a visit to Splatsville. During that first month she still had an internet connection, and was able to keep in contact with her friends and family.

However, when she returned to the Side Order campaign, contact would be cut for her, Caroline, and Off the Hook.

Currently, she’s been separated from 4 and Marina, and she’s exploring an illusion of Inkopolis with Pearl.

SELF LOVE BURIED

So, you've gotten through the beginning years! Buckle up, it gets worse from here. I will be getting into the more severe abuse from here on out, so this is a trigger warning for anyone who may have difficulties reading from here. The next few blogs will discuss years 6ish through my adolescent years and high school, how my self-love got buried under years of being told I was worthless, sexual assault, mental and emotional abuse, among other things.

After we left Wisconsin, my mother once again left Dirk, and we moved to Bloomfield, IA where we lived with my great-grandmother again, and Dirk moved to Omaha, NE, 3.5 hours away. During this time, Dirk started dating a lady named Sandy. My sister and myself went to visit Dirk in Omaha, and we met Sandy and went to Fuddruckers. At this time, I was approximately 8-9 and I was not dealing with Dirk dating another woman, so I called my mother bawling, wanting to go home. Little did I know that Sandy would be a permanent force in my parents marriage (she isn't the villain I made her out to be in my mind).

When my parents got back together, we moved to Glenwood, IA, a bedroom community of Omaha, and my parents were both working in LTL (less than truckload) sales, so they were gone all day, and once again, Dirk was gone on "business trips" all of the time. He was working for Midland Transportation at this time, and brought a couple of shady characters to our home, disguising them as "friends". It wasn't until later that I learned he was involved in a theft scheme with these gentlemen, but alas, he was never caught, only his partners.

There are many shady instances that I remember happening at this time, to include Dirk threatening a backhoe operator, who conveniently passed away less than one week later from "heart issues". I was 12 years old when this occurred, and I had the forethought at that age to walk away from the situation. When Dirk asked me later why I had walked away, I simply stated "because I didn't want to testify against you". Please tell me what 12 year old thinks that way, or has had to make that decision, well this 12 year old, as I knew he had a body count at this point, he used to brag about how no one would ever find the bodies. Something he has recently said about my mother and myself, which has caused us to get security cameras installed around our home. During this time, I also started experiencing disturbing and severe health issues, which were dismissed by Dirk and doctors for over 25 years, but I remained active and high achieving, as to not deal with the abuse at home if I did not perform at peak level at all times.

I remember one time sitting at the coffee table eating cereal from a pottery bowl. Dirk was going through my backpack (one of the rare times he actually gave a shit about what I was doing). I had gotten a B on a math test (I struggle with math), not the class itself, just a test. He proceeded to walk over to me, grab my bowl, and throw it against the wall, sending pottery fragments and cereal flying all over the living room. It was at this moment that I realized the only way I was going to make him happy was to be perfect, absolutely perfect, no mistakes, ever. You can imagine what that did to my 12 year old psyche. He would call me "half-assed Kylie" if things weren't done to his standard, which was unobtainable most of the time.

During this time, my parents fought incessantly. I would hear them at all hours of the night, Dirk telling my mother that he hated her, didn't love her and that he wouldn't have to have affairs if she were a better wife, even though she literally drove herself to the brink of insanity trying to make him happy. She was focused on us, her career and her weight, as Dirk covetted good looks and a slim, beautiful figure, anything short of that was embarrassing for him. This caused a lot of issues with not only my mother, but me and my baby sister as well. Both Kaitie and I had an unhealthy relationship with food; her, not wanting to eat and making sure she stayed slim, me, yo-yo dieting and making myself sick to keep that ideal. One of those instances where parents don't directly instill these ideals in their children, but through watching and listening, we learned. We also learned about alcoholism, extensively, during this time. large

I watched Dirk drink himself into oblivion every single night that he was home. He couldn't have a meal, including breakfast, without a drink. Johnny Walker Red and water was his drink of choice, although I knew how to make a mean screwdriver by the age of 10. If it wasn't hard liquor, it was Bud Light. If Dirk wasn't drinking, I was wondering what was wrong. He once got to drunk that he decided it would be a great idea to take my sister and I on a ride in our Porsche on the icy country roads, after having an argument with my mother, resulting in us losing control and spinning on the ice, something that gravely scared my mother as well as us. Scaring people was something he absolutely loved doing, and would talk about his intimidation tactics and whom he had used them on frequently, violence and intimidation were standard ways of dealing with issues. During this time I dealt with issues of self worth at school as well, trying to fit in and not really knowing where to turn.

My friends at this time consisted of a mixture of personalities. Most of the kids had their groups that they had since elementary school, but I had gone to 5 different elementaries, so I didn't have that core group of friends. I threw myself into basketball and school, trying to be the best at everything I did, not the best I could be, but the absolute best, because anything short of that, in my mind, was unacceptable. The basketball court was my happy place, and I spent every free minute I had at one of the basketball courts in town, playing pick-up games or one-on-one with my mother, which was always a tough game as she is an extremely talented ball player. I dealt with a lot of rumors and nasty comments as my mother was my coach and comments such as "you only start because your mom is the coach" were thrown at me almost daily. Comments like these stuck with me, making me work that much harder. I was constantly trying to outdo myself and my peers, just to feel some sense of worthiness.

Social functions were a huge source of anxiety for me, as I was constantly second guessing the words that came out of my mouth. Something I still deal with daily, at the grocery store, church, wherever really. One school function will never leave my memory, unfortunately. I was at the Corn Festival dance in Glenwood with a bunch of my friends, and their parents who were chaperoning. Dirk had gone out with some of his friends and decided to come crash the kids dance. He came into the church, found me in the middle of the dance floor, and just starting screaming nonsense at me, in front of everyone, drunk, I was mortified. My friends mom jumped into action, shooing me away into the girls bathroom until they had successfully gotten him out of the building, to say I was embarrassed is an understatement. This wasn't the worst thing to happen in middle school though, that would come where I least expected it, and with zero support.

When we lived in Glenwood, a family with 3 young kids moved in across the street. The father befriended Dirk, and we all became family friends. I would babysit for them a lot when they would go out together, this was a very normal thing until one night. The mom was out of town, the oldest daughter at her father's house, and the dad out with his friends at the bars. I went to bed in the oldest daughters bed, waiting to fall asleep. Around 1 am, the dad came stumbling in, drunk as a skunk. He then proceeded to come into the room I was sleeping in, and crawl into bed. I told him that he was in the wrong room, he proceeded to say "I know", and continued to lay there. I was paralyzed, what was I supposed to do? I had been raised to be a people pleaser, how was I going to gracefully get out of this situation? He then proceeded to try to touch me, I finally came to my senses and jumped up and ran home. I cried all night long, waiting for Dirk to wake up so I could tell him. The time came, he woke up and I told him. He told me "He was just drunk and probably thought you were his wife." I was dumbfounded, his wife?! are you serious?! This bedroom was on the other side of the house! I felt worthless, dirty, and that my body didn't matter. This is not a lesson a little impressionable girl should learn. I learned more about sex, unhealthy sex, in the next few years than any young person should.

Ok, I promise I will get to the lighter, easier things, but the only way to get to that point, is to get through the hard stuff. Stick with me! You don't get to appreciate the beautiful light without trudging through the darkness :)

Little Loopy

Summary : The reader attempts to attack a drunk Jim. The results are ... unexpected.

Pairing : Spock x reader

POV:  Third person

Word count : 1233 

Beta read by the adorable @kaitymccoy123, who writes some of the best Spock fics in the galaxy <3

A/n : This is meant for Kaity’s Spring Has Sprung Challenge! I was given the color White and the quote  “I swear if you weren’t so attractive, I’d have punched you in the face nine times by now.”

It  was average end to a day on the USS Enterprise. Everyone was tired and exhausted from the day's mission, people were being patched up at Medbay, Jim was crying over his beloved ship and engineering was having a field day.

“She did so well today” Jim whimpered, sipping his glass of scotch with Scotty at his side.

“Aye, I know lad. She’s a real star” Scotty nodded filling a glass for himself.

This annoyed Y/n, his second in command who was this close to fainting from exhaustion. This happened every time the Enterprise got beaten up. Jim cried, Scotty listened and then they both fell asleep while singing old Terran songs.

And she was left to manage the engineers and revive the Enterprise’s engines so that they were ready to go for the next adventure.

It was time to put her foot down, y/n decided. Enough with this madness.

“Alright that’s it hand over the bottle” she sighed, trying to grab it out of jIm’s hands. “What , no go away Y/n I am in pain” Jim whined clutching the bottle to his chest.

“Oh please, you say that every time the ship makes a slight bump. Hand it over now” she argued.

“Noooooo” Jim groaned getting up and stumbling back as the short engineer charged at him.  

And so the chaos began. It was quite amusing really, watching the confident and headstrong captain being chased after by the grumpy tiny engineer.

Very Tom and Jerry- esque (Terran reference)

Scotty laughed, tears welling up as he watched his second in command pick up a wrench , Jim running under the pipes.

“James Tiberius Kirk, come back here right now!!!” she huffed, weaving through the winding pipes.

“You will never find me” He roared back.

James believed he had won, Y/N would never find him because he was an expert at hiding. A master of stealth. A connoisseur of the con.

“Found ya!” She smirked in victory, a few pipes away. She ran towards him failing to listen to his warning.

Smacking face first into the ground.

The world turned dark and the last thing she heard before the world stopped was

“JIMMY KIRK IS VICTORIOUS YET AGAIN”

Spock couldn't think of one reason as to why he’d been called to Med Bay this late at night. The only one he could think of was that Jim might have hurt himself in his drunken state, but that was Doctor Mccoy’s job. He made steady pace, walking through the quiet corridors of the Enterprise.

Until he heard the crash. His ears perked up and his hand fell onto his phaser, quickening his pace. “Captain are you al…”

“Jesus Christ, y/n calm down!!!

Spock froze at the sight before him. His beloved captain on the floor, hugging a bottle of liquor to his chest and scrambling away from the door. Another crash.

“Alright, alright I’ll leave, Ya bampot (means idiot)” Scotty roared running out, ducking as yet another empty hypo flew at his head.

“Damn it Jim, where is Spock!!” Bones called from Medbay.

“What happened?” Spock as, eyes darting from Scotty and Jim.

“Y/n she..”

“The crazy lass”

“...Chased after me”

“Fell over a pipe!!”

“Hit her head.”

“Bloody insane!!”

Spock nodded and entered the Medbay, stopping at the threshold. “I shall send Dr Mccoy to your rooms. Wait till he treats you and then get some rest. You will need it for tomorrow” Spock ordered.

“Yeah but Spock you don’t get it she is…”

“I will see to the lieutenant” He replies and enters the Medbay.

Dr Mccoy stood in front of the cot.

“You done?” he asks grumpily to his frazzled patient.

“Yes. Now whatcha gonna do to me next” she hiccups. Bones rolled his eyes and turned towards Spock.

“Never thought I’d say this but glad to see ya Spock” Bones grumbled, slapping Spock’s shoulder. The Vulcan, still unsure looked at Doctor “What is it that you needed me to do?”

“I need to patch Jim and Scotty up so can you babysit…”

“I AM NOT A BABY”

“Look after Y/n for me? She’s on a lot of painkillers and is borderline insane. “ Bones sighed.

“I do not understand why you didn't call any of your nurses” Spock replied.

“Because they are all exhausted and need sleep, you, on the other hand I do not like. Look there’s a hypo on the table, just inject her with it and she will fall to sleep.” Bones grunted, patting Spock on his shoulder again and walked away.

Spock stared at the engineer, playing with the hem of her dress. He agreed that she looked slightly...unhinged. She stared at him with big brown eyes.

“How you doin!?!” she smirked wiggling her eyebrows, bursting into a fit of giggles.

“I do not understand why my well being is amusing to you” he replied.

“Cause it’s from a Terran show, ya know FRIENDS. Chandler Bing, Joey, How you doin, Joey doesn't share food, he’s so pretty I could cry...:”

“I do not know the source of these references. Is this some Terran form of entertainment?” he asked, searching the table for the hypo.

“Are you gonna shoot me up and make me go to sleep?” she asked him, kicking her legs in the air.

“It is the Doctor’s orders.”

“Do you always do what you are told?”

“If it is a logical order.” He answered, walking up to her while inspecting the syringe.

“I swear if you weren’t so attractive, I’d have punched you in the face nine times by now.” she grumbled, sitting up straight.

“I do not believe one's physical appearance has any affect on you hurting them. You did after all punch Captain Kirk in the face and he is appealing to the eye”. Spock pointed out, gesturing to you to hand over your arm.

“Aw don’t see yourself short my little vulcan friend, you are extremely appealing to the eye too” she laughed, sticking her arm out.

“Well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder” he whispers. Spock refused to acknowledge the closeness between him and the engineer. Her hair, falling on his shoulder, him between her legs.

The logical thing to do would have been to back away, inject the serum and walk out. But he stayed. Her fingers trailed over his chest.

“Hey Spock?”

“Yes, Y/n”

“Lift your hand up for me would ya”

Though a bizarre request, Spock did as he was told. She pressed her fingers to his.

Electricity sparked, causing the two of them to jerk back.

“Oops” she giggled, covering her mouth.

“Did I hurt you?’ he asked her in concern.

“Nope’ she replied popping the ‘p’.

“Was that supposed to happen?” she asked softly.

“If the two participants desire the action” he nodded, green blush filling his cheeks.

“Aww so you do like me !” she giggled yet again, lying down on the cot.

“ I believe so” he mumbles, the green in his cheeks darkening as he stood beside her.

“Just so ya know, it’s not because of the drugs that that happpened okayyy?” she slurred, making herself comfortable on the bed.

“I understand” he replied.

She yawned, curling up with her legs to her chest. He turned around to leave, placing the hypo on the table.

“Nighty night Spockyy” she whispered.

“Good night Y/n”

WARNING YOU RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE FILLED WITH LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA PRAISE SO BE PREPARED.

1. What’s your absolute favorite scene from any film?

I have honestly thought about this question all day.  I have a very, very hard time picking favourites, for ANYTHING, especially books and movies.

One scene I loved was from The Fault In Our Stars and I thought it was really well done.  It is the scene where you know Augustus is going to die **spoilers** and Hazel is sleeping, but then the phone rings.  And you know.  You just know what the phone call means and I swear my heart broke with her as she just turned inwards on herself and started to sob.  Beautifully done.    

2. What’s the most terrible book you’ve ever read?

There have been a few, but I am actually going to switch the question to the most terrible MOVIE you ever seen.  I may rant for a minute.  

I hate stupid movies.  And I know that sounds really obvious to say but like I hate stupid humour movies where it is just dirty jokes and stupid boys the whole time, for example, 21 Jump Street, or Step Brothers, or things like that.  My entire family and all my friends know I hate those movies and if I walk in while they are watching one they will flat out tell me it is one of those kinda movies and I will shrug and walk out.  I hate them.  

But my all time least favourite movie was Napolean Dynamite.  Please nobody shoot me but me and my brother couldn’t make it halfway through that movie because it was so dumb.  I hate stupid humour.  :)

3. Star Trek NoTP, and why?

I had a hard time warming up to Spones for a while, and still am pretty iffy about it because I just don’t think they would work that well together.  They are both stubborn beyond belief, so it would take a hell of a long time for either of them to even admit that they liked each other, at all, and there would be a lot of arguements.  

4. The four most badass humans to ever walk the earth? If you’re feeling it, I’d love to hear your justification. ;)

KAITY IS DEFINITELY NOT A HISTORY BUFF SO THESE ARE PROBS GOING TO BE ALIVE PEOPLE.

((I have also just filled these out and realize I should probably change the question to ‘The four most influential nerds to ever walk the earth’ because that’s where my mind went.  Kaity does not dig deep.  Kaity does not know a lot of famous people, especially famous historic people.  So these are basically nerdy celebrities.))

1.  Lin-manuel Miranda: Of freakin course.  He is ridiculously talented, the cutest cutie pie ever, and humble on top of that.  He works to inspire creators, young and old, and I look up to him in every way.  

2.  John Green: Once again, nerdy with a purpose, my kinda people I guess.

3. Misha Collins: though I am not an avid SPN watcher (though I have seen up to season 9) I have seen posts about Misha Collins and all the stuff he does and all the charities he runs and things and I think that’s awesome.

4. John Barrowman: once again not an avid Doctor Who watcher (though I have seen up to the eleventh doctor) I think John Barrowman is another nerdy with a purpose type, someone to change people’s views on the world.

5. The fictional character you identify most with, and why?

SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM.

Right now I would honestly have to say Scotty.  

I would say my favourite character is still Bones but since I did my little kinda meta-analysis on Scotty, I realize him and I are very much the same.  

We are kind, soft, and appear very positive, upbeat and willing to help, and we are all those things, but we are often taken for granted and our easily trusting nature is sometimes used against us.  We are gentle and docile, but will turn on you at a drop of a hat if you break our trust or try to hurt our friends.  We will go to the ends of the earth to help people, so much so that it is sometimes exhausting.  One-on-one is best for us, and are generally quite quiet, but if you get us talking about something we are passionate about we could talk your ear off for days. -I am also 100% sure he is Hufflepuff (as I am) and I will fight you on this. (I have so much more but Imma hold back to keep this post relatively short)

6.If you could hang out with one person for a day, living or dead, who would you pick, and why?

Once again, my true and honest answer would be Lin-Manuel Miranda.  I just think it would be an amazing day, and I could share my writing ideas with him and my passion for nursing, and I just think he would be a really good listener. I honestly really just want to talk to the guy just to tell him how much he inspires me, not only with all his wonderful musical talents, but also as a person, because he advocates for loving things with your whole heart and expressing that in every way possible.  Also he maybe would take me to go see Hamilton and with that I would die.  

7. What character, from any source, do you think gives the best kisses, and why?

My mind can only think Star Trek at the moment and I honestly would probably say Jim would.  I think he would have the most skill and practice and be able to be receptive to your skill and comfort set.  But I wouldn’t turn down a chance to kiss Bones either. ;)

8. Who is your favorite artist (any medium; this can be interpreted broadly), and why?

**tries to think of any other person than Lin-Manuel Miranda** **cannot**  He is an artist in every sense of the word.  The way he is with words and music is astonishingly inspiring and I can’t sing his praises enough.  

9. What’s your favorite theoretical crossover? In other words, what characters, from different fandoms, would you like to see interact, or who would you like to see thrown into a different universe? I hope this question makes sense, guys.

I think a Guardians of the Galaxy/Star Trek crossover would be hilarious.  But I guess timelines don’t quite work out.  

10. Who is your favorite iconic scientist, and which of their contributions do you find most significant?

Kaity is not a history buff and whenever we talk about the history of whatever we are learning I kinda zone out because I like to focus more on the future than the past but I will scrounge around for something.  

I guess Florence Nightingale, for pioneering modern-day nursing?  That’s pretty darn awesome.  

11. If you could remake any movie, in any way you want, what movie would you pick, and what would you change?

This one took me a while, and that is only because I could only think of book-to-movie adaptations where I would actually know how to change something.  The only one I could think of was Divergent (it’s the one I most recently watched) and I would change two things:  

1. Add in the scene where Tris falls off the ferris wheel and Four saves her.

2. Have their first kiss be actually where it’s supposed to be, near the chasm, sitting on rocks together.  I thought that the way they did it was too overdone, too predictable.  

Bonus?  If you could make any contribution to any field (cure any illness, make any discovery, invent any technology, write any book or create any art, be remembered for anything), what would it be, and why?

I would definitely say anything to do with nursing honestly.  I want to be remembered as the nurse that held your baby while you weren’t there, while you had to go take care of your other kids and you felt so safe leaving them with me.  I want to be remembered as the nurse that saw the change in vitals and new something was terribly wrong with your child and reported it right away so it could be fixed.  I want to be remembered as the nurse that wouldn’t give up on your child when it seemed like everyone else would.  I want to be remembered as your child’s favourite nurse.  

I would love to rid the world of any childhood illness ever, so I didn’t have to become a pediatric nurse, but I do, so I want to be remembered for that.  

Kaity’s 11 Questions:

What person do you most look up to in the world and why?

What book really spoke to you, maybe even changed your view on things, and how did it do that?

If you could spend the afternoon snuggled on a couch watching a movie with a fictional character, who would it be?

If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or have someone to cheer you up?

Do you judge a book by it’s cover (literally or figuratively)?

What’s the one thing that people always misunderstand about you?

What is your Harry Potter house and do you feel you were sorted correctly?

Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

What is your favourite colour?  Why?

What’s your most listened to song?

What celebrity would you trade lives with?

5 Things People With Bipolar Want Others To Know About Their Condition

Ponomariova_MariaGetty Images

When you hear that someone has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, you may have some questions and concerns. There is also a good chance that you will make some assumptions about what it is like to live with mental illness, many of which may not be based on facts. After all, thanks to the misrepresentation of the disorder in the media – as well as the careless use of the word bipolar to describe everything from the weather to someone who has just changed their mind – there are many myths about this mental illness that are perpetuating.

Kaity Cash was diagnosed with bipolar disorder over a decade ago.

Kaity Cash

Kaity Cash, a 29-year-old publicist from Sommerville, New Jersey who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in college, can tell. “People talk so much about depression and anxiety that those conditions have normalized, but bipolar disorder is still so stigmatized,” she says. Melanie Carlson, a 39-year-old who was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder in college, agrees. “People often think that I’m always at one emotional extreme or another, or they look at me and say, ‘You have a job?’ – as if they were shocked, ”says Carlson, a social worker who is also getting her PhD .D. in psychology. “There is so much great activism around other mental illnesses, but we still have a long way to go when it comes to bipolar disorder.”

That’s why we sat down with Cash and Carlson. We wanted to understand the common misconceptions about bipolar disorder these women face – and hear from them why those assumptions are just not true.

1. To use the word “bipolar” carelessly is offensive.

When Cash hears someone using this word as an adjective to describe someone who is angry or whose emotions are all over the place, she winces – and frankly, gets angry. “People throw this word away like it doesn’t mean anything, which is very frustrating and also really harmful to those of us who live with this disorder,” she says. “For example, I’ve heard that former President Trump was called bipolar the whole time he yelled at people. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of him – but let’s not call him or anyone else bipolar if there is no diagnosis. “

2. People with bipolar disorder are not necessarily manic or unstable.

It is often believed that someone with bipolar disorder lives in one extreme or another and is constantly struggling with severe mood swings that include the highest highs (also called mania) and the lowest lows (depression). While bipolar disorder can cause these extremes, this is not something that should be taken for granted. For example, Cash has bipolar II disorder, which means she has never had a manic episode. Unlike Bipolar I, which often includes episodes of mania and depression, Bipolar II is a subgroup where people experience depressive episodes and hypomania (a crazy state) – but never a full manic episode.

As for Carlson, she says she fielded everything from people who assume she walks down the street talking to others and thinks she is always unpredictable and unstable. “Even when I started my Masters in my early 30s, a nurse looked at my file and said, ‘Wow, most people with bipolar disorder don’t get together until they are 40,'” says Carlson. “Such statements are so hurtful because they are simply not true.”

3. I’m allowed to be sad or angry – and that doesn’t mean I’m having an episode.

Can you imagine getting really mad or angry and not expressing these emotions without someone thinking you are having a nervous breakdown? That’s what happens to Cash, who says it’s incredibly frustrating. “I have to be allowed to have feelings,” she says. “I can be angry and not be in the middle of an episode.” Instead of assuming someone with bipolar disorder is irrational or not thinking clearly when they’re having great emotions, let that person let off steam like you would recommend to any friend, Cash says. “If you guess what I’m feeling, it gets me down and I feel discharged,” she adds.

4. I can (and do!) Lead a “normal” life.

When Cash was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after a major depressive episode that resulted in a life-threatening drug overdose, her then-boyfriend split shortly thereafter – and he told her she would never graduate from college. (She did.) A few years later, she had a boss who told her that because of her insanity, she would never be successful. (She runs her own booming publicist business now.) “It was nice to prove these people wrong,” she says. “Diagnosing bipolar disorder is tough and it can take you a while to gain a foothold, but it doesn’t have to stop you from fully living.”

Finding the right mix of medications was a tipping point for Cash too when it came to keeping her symptoms under control. Still, she wishes her disorder were less stigmatized. “If I had to take pain medication for a broken arm, someone would say, damn it, you broke your arm. You would get it. It’s similar with my mental illness. Ultimately, the imbalance in my brain is a physical thing. “

5. I want to talk to you about my condition so that you can understand the disease.

If you find out that a friend or loved one has bipolar disorder, you may be tempted to avoid the topic altogether. While everyone is different, many people with the illness appreciate having others talk to them about their beliefs and ask questions about the mental disorder, say Cash and Carlson.

“Bipolar is a part of my life, so I love it when friends ask me about it and want to understand my experience,” says Carlson. “In fact, the more I talk to people about it, the more comfortable I feel talking about it – and the more comfortable others feel too.” Cash feels similar. “If the people in my life take the time to understand this disorder, they can be super supportive. And don’t we all want that? ”

Your Biggest 'Riverdale' Season 5 Promo Questions Answered By Writer Chrissy Maroon Kaitlin Reilly New episodes of Riverdale are, tragically, still two months away. Which means that any lingering Riverdale questions we have — the identity of the Mothmen, the origin of Jughead's writer's block-inducing trauma, whether or not Polly is alive — will remain unanswered until at least August 11. Fortunately, however, The CW is giving fans some breadcrumbs for the upcoming episodes courtesy of a recent promo. While the promo doesn't reveal too much, it does tease us with juicy moments we can't help but speculate wildly about. Like, is Penelope starting a cult? What the hell are Tabitha and Betty doing? Is Archie's life in peril? Did Jughead really get abducted by aliens? So we went right to the source for answers to our burning questions. Riverdale writer Chrissy Maroon was kind enough to answer The Dipp's biggest theories, questions, and general WTFs about the promo... as well as finally share with us her number one favorite ridiculous Riverdale moniker. Enjoy, fans.

Oh Pissypants Kaitie, these are YOUR “biggest questions”, cause you’re a fucking dullard who inexplicably focuses on non-issues.....and Chrissy Moron is the last person I’d peg as “the source” to go “straight to”, also love that this is already two fucking months old and you;re all “the is brand new information!!!”. Speaking of, TBC, dragging Chrissy’s complete non-answers

A) not remotely “cute”, dumbass----meant to be scary/creepy.....

B) Is it “really funnnnn”, Chrissy???? Umm....Betty and Tabi wouldn’t have shared scenes “pre-time jump”, because Tabi didn’t exist on the canvas yet. And since you didn’t show up until 4B, neither did you.....and your failure to research anything shows.

C) She actually didn’t remotely answer, but LBR: JTB triangle, y’all!!!

That Peneloho!!! Such a LARK!!! Nothing cuter than being a bloodthirsty psycho serial killer of children, amirite????

Hahaha!!! Maybe our far and away most popular character is DED!!! Aren’t we amaazzzzeeeballs???? Cause doing this same plot NEVER gets old!!!

Oh, also, yeah, the ep’s his FB/centric (which we don’t really do for anybody else, but I’m pretending) and then he’s chill....

RAS said if I don’t pimp his pretend backdoor pilot that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell, he’ll fire me pronto! Never mind it’s again, character fucking nobody GAF about (and two of the actors RAS screwed over, previously), we gotta make this happen!

We actually had dick and “we’re” gonna get dick.....also Chrissy will never answer anything....

That said, Jabi’s rising, y’all!!!

Love how, again, fuckin’ Chrissy can’t follow the show she legit writes for. Vermin lived in Plaiderdale for less than three years----and got TF outta there as soon as she and Douchie split. It couldn’t be moar obvious she has only EVER been there to suck off Douchie (no idea why, but....)

And the jewelry store plot is beyond fucking stupid and, once again, when they don’t know what to do with Vermin, they give her a small, pointless, “glam” brick and mortar business to “run”.....i.e. stand in the set of

i wanna tell them.

who?

everyone.

Every night, I feel this pull to text someone, tell them I’m trans, tell them I want to use he/him pronouns, and I fight it. I keep fighting it, and I keep putting it off, and then in the morning, when I think about it again, I’m afraid again.

Why is that?

Moreover, why can’t I just do it?

It’s so frustrating. I know this is who I am. I know I’m trans. I know I’m a guy, but I’m just not making the leap. Why?

Well, I know why. I think too much. I’m petrified of losing the people I love, of being stared at, of violence, of being hurt. I’m so scared of being hurt, and it fills my entire life, so I build up walls constantly to protect myself from any and all vulnerability. I don’t even realize I’m doing it now. It’s just like the second I go to say “I’m transgender,” I get this feeling in my gut like NOPE don’t do that. Shut that shit down. And while it served a purpose, and still does sometimes, it’s really hard to be genuine and authentic with myself and other people when I’m so scared of any vulnerability at any point.

So, like any good millennial, I googled. I googled, and here are the tips [courtesy of x]:

Open up: Override the unspoken childhood rule DON’T TALK. Identify the trustworthy people in your life, and talk to them about difficult things in your life and difficult things in their lives. Talk about things you never would have before. Be vulnerable. Talk, talk, and talk some more.

Starting off with a doozy, I see.

Who are the trustworthy people in my life? Well, my roommate for one. Sarah. Sasha. Kamila. Kaity. Jason. I trust Nicole and Maya too, but I just haven’t had the emotional connection with them yet. It’s not like I’ve cried in front of the others or some shit, but I’ve drunkenly told Sarah, Sasha, and Kamila I’m trans already, so what’s the harm in doing it again? (I say in total and complete deadpan.)

But start with talking about difficult things in both people’s lives. Do the thing long-term. That’s what the advice is. And I guess I’ve done that. I talk about my mom, or about my meds, with relative frequency. But those things are dissociated from emotion for me. At a certain point, it’s almost clinical.

I do have some vulnerable conversations, I guess. I go to a support group for children of addicts, I go to therapy. I do that stuff in the designated space. But just translating that into real life is what’s tricky.

Make friends with your emotions: Several times each day, close your eyes, focus inward, and ask yourself, “What am I feeling?”  Pay attention to how you feel about things, and listen to those feelings. Know that your feelings matter. If the feelings that come up are difficult to handle, please find a trained therapist to support and help you learn to tolerate and manage them.

I have all the apps that check in with me. I try and stay on top of it. I try and, like, meditate or some shit for a little bit every day, or talk to my brain before I go to sleep. It’s probably not enough, but it’s something.

I’ve already got the therapist part down pat; I’m an expert at that shit by now. But it’s difficult trying to prioritize my feelings over other people’s. Because I feel like my feelings are dictated by others. I used to say if people don’t like me, what’s the point? And like, that’s a really bleak way of looking at things, but it’s true. I feel like if I don’t provide usefulness to someone’s life, or if people don’t like me, I’m fucked. I’m an introvert that needs external validation and constant stimulation to thrive. Who the fuck designed this shit?

Take your own needs seriously: Override the unspoken childhood rule DON’T ASK. Tell the people in your life when you need help or support. And then let them help you.

This is a hard one. When I’m upset, I isolate myself. I don’t even know how to ask for help. Sometimes I’ll ask for a hug, but that’s about it. I never let people see me in actual distress. Not even the therapist, and that’s saying something.

I don’t know how to do this part. What does that mean? Particularly for the trans question. I guess, it’s telling them. I need to external declaration of “you are a trans man, and we’re going to use the name and pronouns that honor that.” To hear that would be sweet, obviously, but... the chance of not hearing it. (My friends wouldn’t not support me, but my panic-filled, anxiety-ridden brain doesn’t fucking get that.)

Let people in: Fill your life with quality people. Meaningful relationships are a primary source of richness, connection and meaning in life.

Learned this shit years ago. Done and dusted. I dropped the people i didn’t like, and I only surround myself with people who care and are kind. If there’s one thing I’m proud of that I did, it was protect myself from people who could potentially hurt me.

Get to know who you are: Pay attention to everything about yourself. What do you love, dislike, excel at, struggle with? What is important to you? What are your values? What do you care about? Once you see the full picture of who you are, you will see your value and worth, and you will feel stronger.

I kind of got this. It hasn’t translated to seeing my value and worth (at least, not outside of the ways that those things impact and improve other people’s lives, or the ways that I can prove to people that I matter, but they still have to tell me), but it’s a step. I can work on that.

Well, with that five-point list completed, and with it nearing 3am when I have a full, packed day tomorrow, I’m gonna sleep. Or play Minecraft. One of the two.

I can’t tell if I feel better or not. I think I just need to sleep.
