Hey does anyone know what game Gus is playing in the pilot??? I’ve looked for so long at this point and the ship doesn’t match any ones I’ve seen from Galaga, Space Invaders, etc.. please someone know.

I like the idea of the main Psych four having a group chat, specifically because it would be like, oh yeah of course Shawn has a group chat with his girlfriend and his best friend.., and that other guy- wait no who is that, like why? Oh he’s their special little guy who says he doesn’t like hanging out with them but ultimately values them more than anyone else in the world? Okay I get it. Cool.

New day, new case

I sometimes have ideas for unfinished posts.

For example

“Every friend group has:

- that one steddie shipper

-”

There’s not even any thought behind the words since I think it’s completely possible to have a group of friends where none of them have seen stranger things

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

The women’s fashion industry, which is where I’ve seen this size labelling the most, infuriates me to no end. (There’s a rant incoming so sorry OP)

Picking out pants isn’t just ten times harder because they decided to assign random numbers to pants but it’s also just to make people feel shame about not being small enough through using a number constructed by an industry rather than using numbers that are objective, like ones relative to that of the width/length of the pants. There’s a general air when shopping for pants using the width/length measurements that the pants are that size whereas with the 00-14 scale it is almost saying that you are that size, it’s no longer that the garment is made to fit you but rather that you should fit the garment.

A size 12 on that chart would fit me at around 31 1/2 inches for the waist, a size 14 would probably fit somewhat more comfortably as it’s a 33 1/2 and my waist is around 32 inches. I am a fairly small person with a bit of tummy fat, yet size 14 is considered an XL. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care if I do have to shop for something and have it labeled as XL, XXL, or otherwise, but what I do care about is that these companies are shamelessly putting out products to mold women’s bodies to their liking using the power that they have in an almost subconscious manner, which is nothing new, but is something I think we most often forget is still a pressing and current issue as it has become a regular occurrence in everyday life made by these clothing companies.

Adding onto that not only is it normalizing certain bodies over others, it’s making shopping that much harder for people who don’t fit these sizes, and you don’t even have to identify as fat to not fit into these ranges. On top of that the fashion industry treats people who are fat like they are the most evil kind of person, and people back up those industries ideas with excuses like, “they’re unhealthy, they need to change their diet, exercise,” when most often that is not the case, or even if it is, that is still no reason (and I don’t believe there’s any reason at all) to shame people, especially for just trying to buy and wear clothes.

Even now that I am seeing more fat people in clothing adverts, I don’t believe that the industry or society is at all accepting of the idea that this is someone’s body, because what it’s boiling down to is, “if we can make this person attractive enough to an audience they will be accepted and we can profit off of that,” they’re trying to sell people, and that means they have to add a value to one person’s usefulness and to them what people find unattractive isn’t useful. No person should be valued by their usefulness. No person should be ostracized because of a subjective opinion.

Aside from pants and sizing, there’s the styling, which I’d just like to talk to briefly and specifically about the bathing suits. I’m not femme presenting most of the time now, but when I used to wear full body bathing suits I liked ones that offered shorts and these were extremely difficult for me to find, they only offered ones with a v cut and as a fourteen to seventeen year old this was uncomfortable for me. It showed me that the fashion industry made up of multiple very well known, very easy to buy from companies was just interested in keeping the status quo.

So, it just becomes glaringly transparent through this industry that people still can only see women as sexual objects, which begins to lose its meaning as time goes on and the idea of, “gender inequality? In this year???” becomes more and more of a normal statement as people begin to believe that their rights and their social standings are equal. That people become more comfortable and complacent because, “it’s not that bad.”

But I’ll ask this to everyone, because this does effect everyone who is living in a society where shame is normal, why should we let ourselves be shamed like this, why let ourselves be manipulated, and why should we settle for something that is harmful to ourselves?

Now not everything is awful. People thrive, we figure things out, we grow, and that is natural. I do believe we’re working towards something as a society that will be more inclusive and sustainable, but we can’t just stop talking about it, choosing to learn about it, and implementing change within or dismantling it altogether. This is a gradual process, either way, if we continue to become a society full of shame, it will just escalate to hatred and to other worse and worse things that will bar more people from simply existing, but if we grow towards inclusion and understanding, maybe we can all do something as simple as wearing clothes.

It’s not easy, but when has anything worth it ever been? So, thank you for reading, I’m really proud of you for being here.

You know American vanity sizing is crazy as hell because why the fuck do you guys have a size 0 like thats literally a size nothing, and on top of that a size 00 a size nothing nothing, nothing x2, what the fuck man, why not just make a size 00 a size 1 and shift the scale. Why the random numbers even, what happened to S,M,L,XL

watching twin peaks is hard because sometimes you think 'these characters could use some therapy'. and then you remember that some of them did seek out professional help but their only option was this
