WELL HOWDY THARR YOU TERRIBLE FUCKING ENABLER!

I'm Sam, aka Silverbirch on AO3. He/Him. I like, in no particular order:

Netflix's Shadow and Bone (currently ficcin')

Jewelry (I'm a professional authenticator, appraiser and aspiring historian, btw. Yes, of gems and jewelry. Yes, that's a thing. Stop slipping law school applications under my door, MOM, I'm 36 years old)

Archaeology (long neglected degree)

Classical studies / mythology (currently resisting the urge to get a degree)

An ungainly shitload of comics, books, and videogames

Humanism (of the secular variety)

Plants (I'm one of those gays)

My cats (I'm also one of those gays)

Interior design that bespeaks color, personality, the input of living people (fuck off with your grey-beige shiplap, and yes also that kind of gay if you're taking notes)

Two of the finest people I have ever known and two of my closest friends, Gremble (@abeautifulblog) and Hilary (@qqueenofhades), both of whom I met via AO3 comment seduction

Gabriel having a small d*ck is a theory, Gabriel having a purple d*ck is a fact. I have no idea about the size but he has that energy, he's constantly compensating for something, while I know his d*ck is purple cuz his body is purple when he unified. So enjoy this mental image and I'm sorry but I had to point it out the difference.

ways I protected my mental health

Disable notifications on your phone.

-When someone gets a like, a retweet, or just an notification icon the brain receives a flood of dopamine and sends it along reward pathways. Dopamine is a key contributor to enjoyment/pleasure. The lack of pleasure/enjoyment overtime can lead to depression.

Depression is so high and rapid because dopamine is so easily obtain and when something is so easy you expect it frequently, the more frequent you expect the less value you have for it. So you always want those notifications to feel rewarded. By disabling your notifications, you are re-engineering your brain. You will no longer crave those type of reward paths over time.

Instead

Try making yourself a TO-DO LIST. It can be very minimum. (Try to aim for stuff you can do in a reasonable time - in a day, in two weeks - and work your way towards bigger things)

The TO-DO LIST will provide you with objectives you can complete. After completing a task, make sure you mark ‘done’ on your to-do list. This marking will provide dopamine along with whatever was completed. It will be a physical representation of your work and/or self care that has a WAY HIGHER VALUE than any notification. This fulfillment will stay longer with in you.

For example: 3 years ago I made a list. On that list I had ‘get new tires for my truck’ it took me several months to save and get them on but even til this day, I feel accomplished that I put my mind to something like that and completed it. 3 years later and that task holds weight in my heart.

For those that aren't in Australia right now, we have the funniest scandal going on.

Firstly let us introduce you to the eye of the storm: Sam Kerr. Sam is a women's soccer player who has in the last year become one of the most famous and beloved athletes in Australia. Captain of the women's national team, Sam became something of a cult figure after the last Women's Soccer World Cup became a complete unpredicted sensation in Australia, with the whole country getting behind the team.

Sam, up until now, has had probably one of the most squeaky clean images in sport. Generally in Australia it is not uncommon for our sports stars to be caught up in scandals involving drugs:

violence:

drinking their own urine:

or if you're cricket legend Shane Warne, probably all three at once.

Contrasting all this, Sam's image as the squeaky clean saviour for sport made it all the more shocking this last week, when it was announced that Kerr was to face trial after having been charged by the UK police of a "racially aggravated offence" involving a taxi driver.

This was shocking news. Nobody knew what to make of it. Sam was a model for young girls everywhere and a national treasure. "This is why we can't have nice things" screamed the nation. It seemed like all hope was lost.

That is, until, yesterday, when the UK police finally revealed the full details of the case, in which Sam Kerr, sporting legend, was arrested for vomiting in a cab, and then telling an intervening police officer that he was a “stupid white bastard”.

Now we probably don't need to point out that in Australia, vomiting in a taxi and then calling a cop a bastard is about as close to a national culture as we have.

You could not have come up with a better headline to make someone a national hero.

Needless to say, Sam in now being hailed down under as the greatest legend that ever lived, and a petition has already been started to have her picture added to the $5 note.

The tide has swung so far that not one, but TWO, state Premiers have spoken out in support of Kerr, and the Prime Minister has even gone on the record describing her as "a delight".

And so ends the racial abuse saga of our greatest sports hero of all time, and the very first reverse milkshake duck to ever exist.
