Tr: "Every single time someone talks about yumihisu, even well-meaningly, like it's implied and not explicitly romantic in the text it makes me feel like the goverment is subjecting me to a psyops, there is no subtext! It's just text! It's in your face! You want queercoded? You want queer subtext?? You want interpretations the author probably only intended to half-assedly??? KENNY ACKERMAN IS RIGHT THERE!"

“kids spend too much time on their devices” well what else are they supposed to do? there’s no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. there’s no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and there’s no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just don’t understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people aren’t truly looking out for them.
#autumn rambles#sorry i started thinking about this and now i can’t stop#my parents had arcades and corner shops they could hang out in where the owners treated them like family…#i have a gas station where only old men like to hang out there#(also want to clarify i left libraries off of here because you have to be quiet there.#it’s nice for a place to study but it’s not really a place for fun unless you love reading which not everyone does)

Just wanted to jump in here with a clarification on my first point since I've seen a few questions about it!
"Pain is not normal" means that if your symptoms are not manageable by basic otc means such as Tylenol/Midol or heat packs etc, and it continues to affect your life in any way, then you should absolutely discuss options for help with your doctor. This goes triple for if you black out, throw up, or generally lose any ability to participate in daily life.
To put it in perspective, when I went to my doctor originally I was passing out from my period pain. Continuous hormonal bc took that pain down to what I called a "4"- I'd take a sick day usually, but if I curled up with a heat pad and Tylenol and tried to sleep it off it was manageable. I attempted to phrase this as a total win- I didn't feel like I was dying, so I figured we were done.
He told me in no uncertain terms that any pain "less manageable than a bruise from knocking your knee on a table" is not acceptable, and that I had more options to explore. I now have nothing I regularly experience worse than a 1- mild irritation, can still function and do everything I want to do.
When I say "no pain is normal"- I mean that. Whether that means not feeling guilty about taking otc meds and getting a little extra sleep, or seeking further professional help, you deserve to be pain-free.
It took me nearly 15 years to get my endometriosis diagnosis and comprehensive treatment, but I recognize I’m super privileged in being able to access care where I live from one of the top doctors in endometriosis research(specifically endometriosis in adolescents, but his research spans all age groups). I want to share some of the things I learned, along with study sources he linked me to, so others can advocate to their providers for the care they need. So without further ado:
✨ What I Wish I Knew About Endometriosis 15 Years Ago ✨
No amount of pain is “normal”
Don’t get gaslit into thinking “everyone” who has periods goes through pain. Seek treatment - you deserve better.
Diagnosis/treatment is kinda a pain, even with a doc who takes you seriously
The general course of action for diagnosis/treatment will be attempt treatment through OTC painkillers (Tylenol, Midol, etc), attempt at least 1-2 forms of hormonal birth control(typically oral contraceptive/birth control pill or the ring/patch/shot), then decide with your doctor whether to pursue either further hormone treatments, such as GnRH(which suppress estrogen/can help stop progression of endo) or an IUD, and/or surgical intervention where they go in and find/remove the existing lesions.
Surgery for me took a couple hours, and I had an IUD placed during the operation(at recommendation of my doc). Full recovery was around 2 weeks. Its worth noting right now you can technically only be diagnosed through surgery.
You may have to mix-and-match to find the right solution.
Only 33% of people with endometriosis in a recent controlled study saw significant improvement by IUD alone, as compared to IUD with supplementary hormonal treatment(like oral birth control or hormone inhibitors). Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1083318812002379
Some options may actually make it worse. Keep an eye on your symptoms.
Studies show that estrogen based treatments can potentially exacerbate endometriosis and promote endometrial growth, so treatments without estrogen or with specific types of estrogen are more recommended. Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5683134/
Its Got Hella Comorbidities
Fibromyalgia, scoliosis, arthritis, thyroid disease, migraines, chronic fatigue, and bowel disease(IBS, crohn’s, celiac, etc), and more are all potential associations/comorbitities. It’s also worth noting that having any of these in your family history may also put you at higher risk for endo. As my doc said - you’re not guaranteed to get all, or even any, of these, but they’re things to keep an eye out for. Sources:
IBS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9357916/
IBD/Crohns: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32629225/
Celiac: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24992792/
Thyroid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10234359/
Migraine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38436302/
Painful Bladder Syndrome: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3015716/
EDS: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937824001637
Arthritis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35258592/
Scoliosis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9238674/
TMJ: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10144081/
Kidney Stones: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9108729/
POTS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3413773/
Fibromyalgia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30682223/
Chronic Fatigue: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6537603/
Sjogren’s Syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39083399/
Bonus Advice
No published studies exist showing any increase/decrease of symptoms between usage of different menstrual products. Do whatever makes you most comfortable!
For OTC pain management, Tylenol or Aleve may be your best bets over Advil, based on their anti-inflammatory nature.
He also recommended probiotics pretty heavily, since digestive issues(ie bad period poops) are super common. Any with >10Bn active cultures are good!
(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, just someone that learned a lot and wants to share)

Shared here today by Matthew Boroson on Facebook. (ETA: Gaining inspiration from other authors is great. Lifting passages and avoiding giving credit isn’t.)
Tanith Lee was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award for best novel, for the second book of the Flat Earth series. She died in 2015. You can buy Tales From the Flat Earth here and here .
#neil gaiman#tanith lee#I had no idea#this has made me even angrier#and also clarifies a few more things for me#anyway I thought you’d want to know#eta: inspiration is not plagiarism — the problem is not that he was inspired by other works#most good authors are#the problem is lifting passages#and the other problem is not crediting inspiration where it’s clearly due

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?
#This was prompted by a specific thing but it is also about dozens and dozens of things#Former Prime Queue-sector of the Trust#ETA: Everyone going “XYZ is actually bad” like congratulations I wasn't saying stuff can't be bad.#I was saying that you should ask yourself these questions first bc sometimes it's just not to your sensibility.#ETA 2: now that it's been months and this is going around again while certain conversations happen in other fandoms I'm in#It's good to clarify what specifically set off this post even tho it applies to many things. But this was about someone#saying Midst is thematically and narratively incoherent bc it wasn't “everyone is miserable forever and nobody gets better” like they wante

I must not respond to the bad take. Responding to the bad take is the mind-killer. Responding to the bad take is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bad take has gone there will be nothing. Only I (and my good takes) will remain.
#my nonsense#surely someone has made this exact post already#I want to clarify that this isn't even really about anything I just thought of the joke and thus was compelled to make it

Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you
#art#comic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#shadow the hedgehog#infinite the jackal#sonic fanart#sonic#sonic forces#My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL#I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny#I'm gonna shove him in a locker#Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem#He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans#The bones of a good character are there it’s just the writing of this game failed him So Bad#Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I can’t stop thinking about it because of its missed potential#Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

Preparing for your first holiday season with your griblings is hard. Especially when your grand niece insists on celebrating Every. Single. Holiday.
#ngl this was not the original context for the drawing but I can see Ford looking into christmas properly for the first time when Mabel#mentions that she chooses to celebrate EVERY holiday (as per the wiki) & ending up going slightly overboard with it (& every other holiday)#the actual context is him shifting into esoteric mode and tattooing oranges. Which I understand does not clarify in the slightest#Been working on a lot of bigger pieces so wanted to punt the perfectionist in my brain by posting a nice simple doodle :]#gravity falls#GF fanart#Grunkle Ford#Fan art#Stanford Pines#Ford Pines#Fanart#artists on tumblr#my art

immortal witch riding hood for WIP Wednesday please
WIP Wednesday Game
Can do! And thanks so much for asking!
Then a bumbling woman with bright gold hair (like the yellow flowers, but thicker, if yellow could be said to be thick) and a protruding stomach that she covers with her hands in a protective gesture waddles out of the house. “Arthur!” she exclaims. “Where have you—” But her voice cuts off as she catches sight of you, and her eyes narrow. “Who is this?”
#zyrafowe sny#musings#bandit writes fic#wip wednesday writing game#wip wednesday game#bandit answers questions#witch hood fic#also want to address now#woman is not fat woman is pregnant#and out of context this can feel a lot like fat woman is evil#or bad#or something#so just#wanted to clarify#is not fat#is /pregnant/#(we riff on fairytales here; that means wicked stepmother's gotta be a thing)

Sooo... who's worried about Sunny exploding because that's dangerous for others, who because this will be an inconvenient mess and who because they actullally care about him and don't want him dead?
Wonder if Star still has the "literally so what?" attitude about that ;-;
About Star's attitude on Sunstorm...
tfw you receive validation from your creepy clone?
[the follow up…]
#transformers#starscream#Sunstorm#rodimus forces starscream and sunstorm into group therapy because he's tired of starscream being mean to his little buddy#sunstorm being the blorbo ever#starscream's trauma is acknowledged and he doesnt know what to do about it#tf rung#Sunstorm wont explode unless he wants to cuz he actually does have control over the radiation which is why roddy isnt worried#(to clarify sunstorm is forgiving starscream for being mean to him not for having trauma or causing him spark pain)
