whatever whatever the “dopamine addiction” industry is lying to you the point of life is to have as broad a range of pleasures as you can. the problem with dependency is not that it’s evil to be dependent on something, it’s that it can be unhealthy to rely completely on a singular source of happiness/pleasure/escape. this does not make the desire to escape inherently evil or some kind of inherent weakness. you are not addicted to dopamine you have a habit of relying on one thing for all your needs and that is a habit you can change slowly over time without complete ‘abstinence’ so to speak. and comparing any of this to a substance addiction is unhelpful + unhealthy + will get your local addict (me) to kick you in the shins very hard

I read The Worm and his Kings (and the sequel Even the Worm Will Turn) by Hailey Piper and was blown away that it was a queer book because there was no queer focus on it anywhere, in the blurb, in the actual story, anywhere! And it was fucken awesome.

the infuriating thing is that there is genuinely so much good queer literature out there, contemporary and not, but there is also a sizeable chunk of readers who think that a book only "counts" as good queer literature if it's a) unproblematic, b) contains romance as its central focus, and c) has the characters state their orientation and/or gender identity directly to the audience using socially acceptable 21st-century terms (as opposed to resorting to cowardly tactics such as Subtext and Themes)

Okay, I guess I'll be the one who says it. Bobby not being a joke character is so refreshing and I'm so happy KPDH actually cared about him

I can't be the only one who's noticed the trend of female-led media who give the female leads a male support who is basically just a punching bag or a jerk the girls put up with

It's so nice that Bobby isn't either of those

Bobby is out of the loop about their demon hunting, but he isn't bumbling or stupid about it. He's just unaware about that side of world. In their civilian and idol lives, he's very conscious about their well-being and makes efforts to make sure they're okay

It's also refreshing that while Bobby isn't traditionally masculine, he isn't emasculated if that makes sense. Like, yeah, he's comfortable with color coordinating with his girls and shamelessly dances along to their dances, but he's not treated like a purse puppy

Maybe it's just me, but it does feel like a lot of feminine guys usually get stuck being paraded as collectibles in groups like this. Like, "look at us. We managed to snag a girly guy." Does this make sense? I don't know if that made sense. It made sense to me so I said it

I just love that Bobby gets to be a supportive older brother character for the girls, gets their support in return, and actually feels like a beloved member of the group

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.

Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

Exercise is a celebration of what you can do goes hard as shit tho

the exercise lady whose videos I follow says things like "Exercise is a celebration of what you can do, not punishment for what you ate" and "Think of some small thing you've wanted to change, and try making that change just for today so you don't stress yourself out over a major change" and "The brain craves blood"
