I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground

There's a car with a broken horn. And it's 2am. And this horn has gone off in straight blasts several times over the course of an hour. I caught it on video and called the non emergency police to investigate it. Y'all I got less than 2 hours of sleep yesterday and I just wanna sleep now. And I can't even do that with the damn broken horn blaring right outside my fuckin house at 2 in the goddamn morning...

Please go watch Sex Explained on Netflix. Not only is it a great resource for the basic sex education that is sorely lacking in the U.S., but some of ya’ll need to take a deep breath and remember the difference between fantasy vs reality. This purity culture thing that we’re going through right now is directly harmful to responsible, healthy sexual expression. BTW this woman, Lisa Diamond, is a noted psychologist and has been pushing for greater understanding of womens sexuality as a whole.

When I was just a young preteen and then a young teen, social media was BOOMING for the very first time in society. I watched it negatively impact my own mental health, and that of my classmates, and friends, and family, and I saw it literally tearing families apart when Facebook became mainstream. It tore tight-knit long-time friend groups apart with Snapchat. And various anonymous websites ruined entire lives through tarnishing their reputations. Nobody knew what to do about this, and laws were being passed left and right in various places to prevent certain things from happening, seminars were held during school time to teach us students possible measures for internet safety regarding social media, and some places banned social media sites as a whole.

In college, I learned through various means, but especially my psych and sociology classes, how to limit your social media, how to take breaks, and how to responsibly use it.

A few weeks ago, I saw on an autism subreddit, one young teenage girl was panicked because folks on TikTok were spreading rumors in mass quantities about autism, and which negatively impacted autistic folks like us. She said she didn't know what to do, that it was ruining her relationship with her boyfriend, and she was becoming paranoid.

I calmly told her my story. I told her about how this same thing happened with Facebook more than a decade ago, and how the negative impacts it has on society are large, but I learned eventually you cannot change society as a whole as just one person, nor is it your responsibility as one person to do just that. You can nudge individuals in the right direction, but if you try to "correct" every single individual and teach them whatever it may be, you'll exhaust yourself beyond measure. You'll wear yourself so thin, and it will cause anxiety, and such levels of anxiety can weaken your immune system and lead you to gaining physical sickness. I told the teen to just take a few days, like 2 or 3, avoiding TikTok all together, and just breathe, focus on herself, and managing her emotions.

A few days later, the girl wrote back to me on the subreddit and told me she felt MUCH better mentally, and that she took to heart what I told her about trying to "fix" everybody. She said she would be limiting her time on the app from now on, and I sincerely felt happy for her.

When I was in her place years ago, I got physically ill from anxiety to the point I developed an ED, and I have to live with this forever. EDs don't go away. Anxiety doesn't always go away, either. But I was able to help a stranger reduce her anxiety and learn just a little about how to control her encounters leading to increased anxiety. And as damned hard as my life is, being able to help someone else to live a life without these struggles is everything.

in case any of you haven't had the pleasure and in case it helps, you should all know: having a much younger person ask your advice, and then being able to watch in real time as the story of something difficult you went through long ago for which there was no present justification is alchemically transformed between their ear and their brain into knowledge and understanding that actually helps them? feels like party drugs

Moon-kissed child of Hircine: / Accept mine proffered blessing do / So thou wilt never flee or rue. / From faun to fear-bringer, / Nadir to night-singer / Even the odds and return those who huntest thou to basest parts / Hearts and all.

My Skyrim Dragonborn, Vakna True-Thunder shortly after turning an unlucky band of highwaymen into a three-course meal. Wanted to make an illustration alluding to her history with lycanthropy and the Daedric Prince of Prey over the course of a decade. After all, where is the sport in hunting an unarmed prisoner on the run--a young messenger for the Jarl of Windhelm himself who had yet to see even her sixteenth winter? The pursuing Dominion jailers and hounds never had any intention of playing fair, blood moon or not, so Hircine offered the desperate girl the power to even these odds and make his forest a proper hunting ground once more. And in years since, she has certainly never let this power go to waste.

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby
