It's sometimes pretty interesting to watch people struggle to navigate the murky space between "AO3 is a website that exists to support a social hobby," and "AO3 is categorically not social media and does not invite ephemera."
It really inhabits a space that many contemporary young adults simply do not seem to recognise. A non-profit text archive available to anyone in the era of the for-profit internet is like a weird bird that evolved on an island unpopulated by humans lol.

ppl like to talk big about how smartphones are rotting our brains but neglecting to mention how weirdly engrained they are in a lot of modern society to the point of almost being a necessity

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore
now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week

genuinely also curious from other ppl who have drawn from live models. whenever i talk about this experience ppl ask me if the models were all attractive and young and in-shape. in my figure drawing class only two of the regular models could somewhat fit that description. most of them were middle-aged or older people of ordinary (but diverse) proportions. like my experience may not be representative but i find it curious that ppl hear about modelling for a drawing class and wonder if that's like a hot 20-something job. it doesn't seem to be lol

I think a (potentially) generation defining thing is how you feel about the phasing out of internal optical/DVD/CD (however you say it) readers in laptops.
I do not want to have to buy an extra external device that has to be plugged in. That (in my opinion) is way more inconvenient than a laptop that's heavier.
I have plenty of physical media I still want to enjoy! (I also want to collect more before things disappear.) I already own them!! so, I'm sorry, the only way I'm experiencing it digitally is if I can rip it or if I download it by other means.

I love explaining to my mom how the world works nowadays because she’s become so open minded as of the last three years, especially when it comes to trans people. (She had a trans patient once, and she came rushing home to me and she was like “Summer how do I address them cause it still says Mr on their form?” And I was like “….just ask them, and they’ll tell you what they want you to say” And then when she saw this patient again, she asked and the person told her to call them Mx, and that they were super happy she asked, and then my mom was happy cause she’d made someone’s day)
But this isn’t about that.
Yesterday we found out my sister’s boyfriend (and her baby daddy, I’m gonna be an aunt y’all-), has ADHD, just in passing, and my mom asked me afterwards if I knew and I said no. I then explained to her like how big the neurotypical to neurodivergent scale is, and how even if you aren’t diagnosed some people can still present symptoms of ADHD because we’re all on different spots on a very long line, and she was like
Really? Oh I didn’t know that, yes that makes sense, so that’s why you forget things?
And I was like 😑
