Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

I can’t believe this smiths lip balm I stole from my mom in 6th grade is still kicking.

I’m probably late and I also had this problem (I have really thick hair though) and I found that washing your hair more frequently (or less frequently If you’re washing your hair everyday), taking a comb to it in the morning (very gently and from the bottom up) and a good leave in conditioner (I really like The Sauce) helps a lot. I went from having hair fall out on my hands when I took my hair down from a ponytail to being able to do my hair in nicer styles without worrying about a huge bunny of hair on the floor.

I have GOT to devise a way to stop my hair from falling out I am so serious

Slowly realizing that, as with any skill really, classic hair care/styling is it's own Pandoras box. You just wanna start small, maybe learn a couple simple styles, liven things up a bit. Next thing you know it's the middle of the night and you're freshening up yesterday's wet set for a brush out so it'll look fresh for work in the morning trying to decide whether to dress it punk or academic because you overshot 50s and landed square in the 80s

Twas the night before my Spirit Halloween interview and guys I hate to say it but I’m so Excited. Was the best seasonal job I’ve ever had last year crossing my fingers it’s at least okay this year. My hair is in pillow rollers, it’s my day off tomorrow and I get to go to Costco after.

fanfic writers will go "anyone gonna explore the kinda fucked up or emotionally impactful implications of this minor canon detail?" and then not wait for an answer.

Yeah no it was really weird too, I had to explain to my mom (who got me into mcr in the first place) that it was EMDR. It made a family friend of ours feel woozy though

Literally no one is talking about how Mcr performing Sleep in Seattle included blue and red flashing lights in a specific patterns during the song. Baby girls, those lights are EMDR. Mcr literally EMDR’d us.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Dw I only thought about it cuz of my own niche experiences

So I did EMDR and I’m not a medical professional and I completed my sessions like a year and a half ago and sometimes when you process trauma you kinda forget things and go through some skill regressions and stuff yadayada I’m working through some of that now and I’m saying this because I may not be describing everything correctly but this is my understanding.

EMDR ( Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is a ptsd treatment in which you are essentially lead into a meditation where you process the trauma while also experiencing bilateral stimuli (flashing lights, rhythmic taps on the hand, or following an object with your eyes) it’s kinda like hypnosis except it’s not meant to make you feel like you aren’t in control.

The form I went through had alternating blue and red flashing lights, it was done in a therapists office and in part of that experience I was told to create a place to store my memories. To quote my therapist at the time,

“Just think about what you want to dream of when you sleep”

The reason I’m saying that MCR EMDRd us and Gerard way possibly underwent EMDR and is using it as inspiration for the light show is because the song Sleep not only is about his experience with PTSD but opens with and talks about going through forms of therapy in order to cope with it

“The hardest part is letting go of your dreams”

Also stands out to me from the song and that lyric is what actually hit me during the show, it really made me think to myself that this is a lot of what I experienced going through EMDR.

Hence, MCR EMDRd us he said there was going to be flashing lights AND THERE WERE
