Okay can I just say how proud I am of Zach, Eugene, and Keith??

Like going from this

the absolute worst moment of their careers. Feeling depressed, angry, betrayed. Not knowing what the future looked like.

To this

They're happy. They know it's not the end of second try. They're so excited for what's to come!!!!!

And after watching both the what happens next video and the live Without A Recipe, I just feel like such a proud fan. Like they've pushed forward, they're starting to make more content that makes them happy, and they're shinning brighter than ever!! I mean they almost hit 7 million viewers on the without a recipe stream!!!! They're crushing it!!! I've had a smile on my face for hours because of them and I'm just so happy for them and I can't wait to see what they're gonna do

It's not that I'm mad at Iran for retaliating against Israel. It's the fact that it seems like they're faking them out or some shit? And they're just giving Biden a reason to give Israel more weapons that they'd just use against Palestine.

Then a repeat of what happened in 2016 will happen where a traitor who would be much worse for Palestine.

And like... Fuck, man. This started when I was grocery shopping and I didn't know about it until I got back a few minutes ago. I probably missed a lot of things.

All i can really hope for is that Iran will help get Israel a new leader with this attack.

I realised I haven’t been active in miraculous or zelda fandoms much for the last year so I should probably take them out of my bio or at least move rdr2 and Star Wars to the front and that made me so sad

Like that’s it. The end of an era.

Katadastical known among her 2 followers as the Marichat shipper and link obsessed is done I’m the cowboy himbo space wizard girl now and I didn’t even realise

I still love TLOZ and MLB I just … don’t have them occupying my brain as much as I did 5 years ago because I’ve grown up a little and moved on like oh my god I AGED

That’s the thing with fandoms you grow into them, age out of them… the brain rot will restart when I watch the movie and play totk but for now :-:

I hate how in school growing up, the meanest teachers were always the art teachers. They would always get so fucking rude and judgemental if you weren't good enough at certain mediums. I was always being told that I "didn't try" or "didn't put in enough effort" whenever I wasn't good at certain things or ever didn't do a perfect job. The most judgemental and condescending teachers were always at teachers. Or music. Music was even worse. The music teachers would always get extremely mad at me because I was hard of hearing and had trouble distinguishing notes and stuff. They really hated me. Once I was in high school and could opt-out of most art classes I just stopped.

I've had bad teachers in other classes, but the art teachers were the most consistently rude. Always telling me how little effort I put because they couldn't believe that I was so bad. Especially at realistic stuff. Always telling me I wasn't even trying. Usually wouldn't even get that bad grades either, I just wasn't up to anyone's standards.

Hola Shitty Simblr Here!

Last night I had to uninstall and reinstall my Sims 3 games, because I couldn’t open my fucking game, and I was already have issues with my mods and CC not showing up! But game is working, but my mods and CC are still not showing up! I might mess with it today because I can’t play without Mods and CC.

Wrong side

Jan 21, 2023 

Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, today I am in a battle with myself and my own thoughts. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how my face, arms, and legs are getting bigger.

I always had a struggle with food. I remember that whenever I would go on a diet it wouldn’t be healthy, and by that I don’t mean me having cheat meals because I couldn't control myself or my hunger, but I would be so cautious of the food I take that I would starve myself. From counting the calories to everything I ate and drank, that it came to a point where in my mind I thought that if I drank water it would make me fat.

I would start to get addicted to the feeling of hunger, addicted to the pain that it would give me in my stomach. That even if it made me feel weak at the same time it would make me feel strong because I knew that I wouldn't gain weight because I wasn't eating.

Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to be one of those girls who could eat so much but yet not gain weight. Someone who can enjoy food without having this constant guilt running through the back of their mind. To go to the mall and find an outfit that you really like and being able to get it in your size instead of having bad anxiety to go into shops to try the outfit on.

"Eat healthier" "Go to the gym" "Stop being in your bed all day" all the things I hear from people who don't understand.

Don't you think I have been trying to eat healthier? but when I do it's like my mind is programmed to just not eat because in my mind that's whats healthy. Not eating.

Going to the gym really helped me to be honest, it even helped with my mental health and if I being completely honest going to gym helped me more than paying $100 an hour to see my therapist. However, going to the gym was easy when I didn't have responsibilities and when I was still studying in Uni. I had so much free time, but now after graduating and having work I now understand why my dad seems so tired everyday when he comes home from work. I work a 9 hour shift from 9am-6pm everyday except on Sundays. Though I am just new here and there are days where I just play Tetris in the office, some days are just so draining to the point where I have a hard time driving myself home.

Being in bed all day on my day off is honestly the only thing I want to do from being tired all week. I don't want to go out, catch up with friends, go to the mall, to the movies, etc. I just want to stay in my room and watch Netflix and just be at "peace".

So yeah, today I woke up on the wrong side. A dark side.

Endos are mostly children, and it shows. You want to demedicalize a disorder so that your “wilogenic” or “demo” roleplay nonsense seems more legit? You want to mock traumatized people who want to be taken seriously? Really? Has it never occurred to you that if a disorder (which DID and OSDD very clearly are) is not generally seen as a disorder, then it will be hard for people who need help to get it. I’ve been trying to apply for government assistance shit and I was told that I’ll probably be denied because of my age and because I have a dissociative disorder. There is already so much fucking misinformation about dissociative disorders because they aren’t as common as like general anxiety and depression. Its not a field a lot of people specialize in. Trying to pretend that being a system is “friends in your head” or anything purely voluntary or something fun is a mockery. Pretending that this is similar to being transgender is a mockery. Shut the fuck up and stop acting like your role play is valid.

I find it unfathomable and astounding that Tumblr isn't more obsessed with Sam Reich. You're telling me there exists out there a man who was born into the aristocracy of our country—with every privilege of modern society at his fingertips—who didn't complete high school (due to his mental health) and instead chose to devote his life to making strangers laugh and raising awareness on mental health. A full-bearded short king who is so committed to being the change he wants to see in the world that he decided to take the company he worked for into his own hands so that he could make sure all the people who worked under him could keep their livelihoods.

How many other CEOs are out here being as honest and transparent with their target audience/market as Sam Reich is? How many of them acknowledge when they fumble and continuously strive to be better than they were? How many of them actually seem like they respect their talent, both in the cast and crew? Sam Reich is the standard we should be holding other CEOs to.

But forget about all that (I could talk for a long time about the respect I have for Sam Reich)—ignore just how respectable he is as a businessman and a person. Ignore all the wholesome reasons for obsessing over Sam Dalton Reich.

The man is a stone-cold fox.

He's a little chaos gremlin and an absolute evil mastermind all rolled into one classy suit and well-groomed beard. Whenever Sam is on the set, you can guarantee he is going to make you crack a smile. And for someone with such natural authority, he's never afraid to be the butt of a joke and show himself being embarrassed. Go ahead, watch any clip of him trying to improvise in No Laugh Newsroom and just try to resist that blush.

You're sleeping on a goldmine of a man, here, damnit! And I will NOT let this go ignored any longer!

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

Oh, so you DO know how to ask civilly. Color me surprised. Also was it really that fucking difficult?

Also also don’t call shit out if you’re gonna turn around and do the thing you just called out. Hypocritical bitch.

I think a thing that people get wrong about Jason's anger is that it's not explosive.

It's cold. Jason isn't the type of person who storms off at every little thing or goes throwing tantrums and setting things on fire blindfully.

He's the type of person who's very practical. He keeps to himself, always. You rarely see issues where Jason's anger is reactive at the moment where the trigger happens to him. If you see his character up close, most of the time when he's triggered his reaction is calm. Even cold.

He gets triggered -> He keeps to himself → He makes a plan → And then he reacts.

Jason's anger being something explosive and out of character and out of place is actually how other people (characters) see it, because they have no idea on how it's playing out on Jason's head.

And that's a thing you can see operating since he was a child.

Where the only exceptions about this effect is either when someone he believes needs his help is involved.

See Nightwing Annual (2021)

But In Batman #411 when Jason learns the fact that Two-Face was responsible for his father's death and Bruce was keeping that from him as a secret his first reaction isn't to blow up on him.

Was to seethe.

Bruce goes up home after dealing with a Two-Face case (in my field we call that poetic irony) and asks Alfred where Jason is, Alfred's answer is that he's been sleeping all day (which is a conclusion that Alfred drew probably after going to check on Jason and seeing him in fact on his bed all day).

But when you see the next panel, even though he is on the bed, He's fully awake and both his expression and his body language shows that he's in fact angry.

This is the first time he appears again in the comics after learning that Two Face killed his dad.

Jason doesn't go towards Bruce immediately to demand an explanation or ask why he did this, or even to throw the truth on his face.

(Which could be debatable that that's something the Dick would usually do, but I'm not that literate on Dick's comics)

His reaction wasn't immediate.

His reaction was to go to his bed and stay quiet. Jason stayed calm and collected the whole trip until meeting Two Face again.

But the moment Jason as Robin has the opportunity to get his hands on Two-Face he does this

From Bruce, and maybe Alfred's perspective it could be interpreted as out of place or him storming off.

But it isn't. Jason was able to keep his cool (even though he shut off), until he was face a face to Two Face.

Does that mean he planned that to happen?

That's debatable, in any moment of this issue it is shown that Jason was actually planning to get to Two Face and do this. I my personal opinion, other and much more plausible explanation is: That he was in fact trying to keep to himself but couldn't hold back the moment that he saw his dad's murder.

You can see the same thing happening as Jason learns that Batman got another Robin in Red Hood: Lost Days.

Talia asks "You all right?" and Jason's first answer is "Sure Why Wouldn't I Be Alright?"

When he's alone he finally has the moment to break down.

(Actually both Red Hood: The lost days and Batman: Under the Red Hood are great case studies on how that usually play out on Jason's head.)

Jason is way more in control of his emotions than people ever give him credit for. The thing is that Jason holds it back until he either blows off or is capable to throw it back in someone's face.

tired of nonbinary people being pressured to be thin hairless elf like pretty and always depicted as white afab skinny kids with blue hair, of course only using they/them. give me nonbinary people who are heavily fem/masc aligned!! give me nonbinary people who use neopronouns and xenogenders!! give me fat nonbinary people!! hairy nonbinary people!! nonbinary POC!! amab nonbinary people!! disabled nonbinary people!! nonbinary people who wear crazy clothes, or nonbinary people who don’t stand out and don’t feel the need to!! nonbinary people with names like Moss or Socks, or nonbinary people with “regular” names like Susan or James or something!! Give me every flavor of nonbinary people, and stop trying to make it into yet ANOTHER gender binary!! Nonbinary can be anything, not just a third gender to adhere to!!

thinking about how my mom would always get mad at me for a child whenever I was doing something fun. even when it was something I objectively shouldn't have been doing, it doesn't stop it from being upsetting.

everything just blurs together as her constantly yelling at me and sometime violence. does it matter if me as a kid banging on pots with wooden spoons and breaking the spoons is something I shouldn't have been doing? maybe. but it was the same reaction to anything.

any toys I had, she would yell at me for being annoying (not that I was often given toys). I remember getting in trouble for painting on the walls or whatever as a kid. if you were going to get so mad over it, why not give me paper? or just not leave a toddler unsupervised for that long?

all anything ever was was constant yelling and punishment. that's all childhood is, and that's the good parts. the good parts are being yelled at. those are the least traumatic parts is just constantly being yelled at.

having it drilled into me by my mother that singing is the same thing as hitting someone cause of how bad and awful it was to hear. just everything goes back to something back then. always just yelling and hitting and I hate it all

and I hate nursery rhymes so much. they're the worst. nursery rhymes are just the soundtrack to raping kids. that's what they're for. that is their purpose. that is what they are for. that is what they exist for. I hate hearing them. I hate hearing nursery rhymes. they disgust me.

At the start of the pandemic, I got a new neighbor who was learning sax. It was rough at first. So rough I thought he was playing a trumpet. It took him a couple months before he practiced scales. That was an improvement. There was a time he spent an entire week on what seemed like only 4 bars before he got it and could play the whole song.

Anyways, he is clearly learning a new complicated song because it is rough, it brings me back to March 2020.

Before him was a family with four children. Kids that would run around the tree out front and play soccer inside and just be loud kids. They were more quiet and I miss them.

Always remember this is the one and only time I will ever speak about this Netflix live action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender.

The sexism elements are a very important part of the show. Sokka being a sexist at the beginning is important because it’s a part of his character development. He has this delusional view point of masculinity all while being ignorant about women and what they are capable of doing. He gets humbled hard by the Kyoshi warriors, especially by Suki, who mostly did all of the humbling, and that is where their relationship starts.

The sexist interactions between the water tribe water benders and Katara is in the show not just to have Katara gain a win over a man, but to prove her biggest point, which is simple: she is just as capable as the male water benders in the tribe, and she doesn’t care if she loses or wins, she is there to prove her case.

So removing the sexism in the live action show shoots Sokka’s character development in the foot, and it takes away the biggest character highlight for Katara. It would be just like them removing the genocide elements from the show because it would be too scary or too dark for kids, which would declaw the Fire Nation, especially Azula, who is the best female villain in the series.

i wish so fucking bad that schools would teach even the most basic nature and wildlife literacy. bc what they teach now is how we get these godawful lawns and monocultures and an endlessly growing list of extinct animal species. like i can’t even count how many times i’ve been trying to explain to people why mosquitoes/moths/bats/flies/wasps/etc are so important and people have gone “but that’s what bees are for (pollination)” or “birds can just eat other things” or “things decompose on their own”. it has to be in the dozens. nothing makes me as upset as when people simply cannot wrap their heads around the fact (fact, fact, fact) that every single organism has its purpose in nature and there is *nothing* that is “pointless”. ignorance like this is what leads to barren monoculture lawns and deforestation and “pest control” and devastating invasive species and expanding extinction/endangerment lists. i just wish schools would teach that every animal and plant has its place, and *nothing* needs to be exterminated as a whole, *especially* native wildlife. but of course capitalism can’t thrive on proper environmentalism so i guess we’ll just have to deal with this.
