Sometimes it's good to read a deeply tragic fic and bawl your eyes out over it actually

daily affirmations:

i am kind

i am in control of my emotions

it does not bother me when someone is in the kitchen while i was planning to be in there alone

everyone in the house has the right to be in the kitchen

i am kind and in control of my emotions even when someone is in the kitchen while i was planning to be in there alone

Genuinely so relieved that I graduated high school before using generative ai for plagiarism became mainstream because I just know my undiagnosed ass would've gotten flagged far too often for my utilization of big words and semicolons

It was the year of fire

The year of destruction

The year we took back what was ours

It was the year of rebirth

The year of great sadness

The year of pain

And the year of joy

It was a new age

It was the end of history

It was the year everything changed

It was the year the fire nation attacked

Reblog if your art project has not, does not, and never will make use of generative ai at any point in your creative process.

one of the more valuable things I’ve learned in life as a survivor of a mentally unstable parent is that it is likely that no one has thought through it as much as you have. 

no, your friend probably has not noticed they cut you off four times in this conversation. 

no, your brother didn’t realize his music was that loud while you were studying. 

no, your bff or S.O. doesn’t remember that you’re on a tight deadline right now.

no, no one else is paying attention to the four power dynamics at play in your friend group right now.  

a habit of abused kids, especially kids with unstable parents, is the tendency to notice every little detail. We magnify small nuances into major things, largely because small nuances quickly became breaking points for parents. Managing moods, reading the room, perceiving danger in the order of words, the shift of body weight….it’s all a natural outgrowth of trying to manage unstable parents from a young age. 

Here’s the thing: most people don’t do that. I’m not saying everyone else is oblivious, I’m saying the over analysis of minor nuances is a habit of abuse. 

I have a rule: I do not respond to subtext. This includes guilt tripping, silent treatments, passive aggressive behavior, etc. I see it. I notice it. I even sometimes have to analyze it and take a deep breath and CHOOSE not to respond. Because whether it’s really there or just me over-reading things that actually don’t mean anything, the habit of lending credence to the part of me that sees danger in the wrong shift of body weight…that’s toxic for me. And dangerous to my relationships. 

The best thing I ever did for myself and my relationships was insist upon frank communication and a categorical denial of subtext. For some people this is a moral stance. For survivors of mentally unstable parents this is a requirement of recovery.

Ok I don't know who needs to hear this but stop parking in the bike lane. I don't mean the parking lane, that's fine. But people are always double parked in the bike lane like what the fuck dude

If I had a nickel for every time Kirk convinced an AI to kill itself I'd have four nickels. Which is kind of a lot when you consider the context of their peaceful mission of exploration

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue
