If there were no consequences for my actions I would eat a raw egg immediately. And maybe a raw steak too. Then crime
this line from a scanlation of beastars is the funniest thing i will ever see
OK I saw the person that shared diego from Dora that reminded them of diego reprogrammed but when I was reading reprogrammed I could only think about Diego Armando (ace attorney) who:
1) Has a cat thing going on (calls his gf kitten yes I know 💀💀💀)
2) Hispanic
3) (kind of spoilers but whatever) later wears a mask on his face that ONLY COVERS HIS EYE AREA (like the lion mask)
4) is an antagonistic character
LIKE. WHEN I READ REPROGRAMMED. DO YOU SEE. I love diego armando and I thought of him instantly for diego reprogrammed
WHY DOES THIS LOOK MORE LIKE DIEGO THAN DIEGO....
Have you ever been injured while playing an instrument?
Did you guys know there's nothing inherently wrong with selfish thoughts and desires and there's no such thing as thought crimes or thought sins and a balanced amount of selfishness is healthy and adaptive for living things to have and it's fine to act selfishly as long as you don't harm others
I think this trend suits him
okay i made another quiz but this time it’s which monster you’ll get to hook up with. reblog with your result!!
I started watching Ducktales
do you think time lords get like embarrassing sex ed style lessons at the academy but instead of sex ed it's regen ed. do you think there's time lords out there who don't get taught this stuff and know what regeneration is but have no idea how it works so when they start regenerating they're terrified of what's happening to them
portal coffee shop au but glados is a vindictive keurig
four years later anyone still out there
this is literally my favorite bit of metatextual doctor who canon
stupid silly creature
I hate it when people argue for the sake of arguing. As someone who comes from a very combative family, it stresses me out. You don't always have to interpret what people say in the most disagreeable way possible or play devil's advocate. Looking for reasons to argue makes you an unpleasant person.
I have horrible news
School’s out for The Grand Festival!

If you make fun of people for harmless actions you will inevitably find yourself being ableist.

new eeveelution quiz! Take it and tell me who you got :3
be kind to kids (yes, this includes teenagers) who identify as nonhuman, otherkin, fictionkin, therian, alterhuman, or a furry. they are living their life the way that makes sense to them. they don't deserve an "i told you so" if they grow out of identifying that way later on. they don't deserve to be asked "aren't you too old for that now?" they don't deserve to be laughed at and mocked online. children forming a wolf pack aren't hurting anyone. kids who want to meet other kids who identify as nonhuman aren't embarrassing.
kids need a sense of community no matter who they are. kids deserve the right to identify their own feelings. kids are allowed to express parts of themselves adults find "embarrassing". adults are allowed to do all of these things, too, but it's become routine for folks online to mock literal children for embarrassing behavior.
identifying as an animal isn't embarrassing; what is embarrassing is being an adult and picking on literal children. who cares, it's not hurting a singular soul. let them explore identity in ways that make sense to them. identifying as nonhuman isn't a danger to anyone else. they aren't hurting themselves. let them identify as a nonhuman and explore what that means to them. let them live their lives.
i think there should be an episode of doctor who where the doctor returns to a time when police boxes were common and then forgets where he fucking parked
Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific
Let's get something out of the way
Let people live how they want to. I don't care if you don't think it's real, we've had a million issues like this already and I'm catching onto a pattern. People will find themselves in new and beautiful ways, and people will come out of the woodwork to say it's not valid. You are valid. You are valid even if you aren't certain. You are valid no matter who claims otherwise. You are the expert on your own lived experience.
Absolutely shaking everyone worried about "faking" their alterhuman identity, AND everyone that likes to claim others as "faking".
Faking is something you do on purpose. If you are not going out of your way to consciously lie while rubbing your hands together like a cartoonish supervillain, then it's not faking. That's just your genuine experience.
It IS possible to be wrong, but being wrong is harmless. It's literally whatever. This is not equivalent to faking.
ugh we hate gatekeepers
they'll do so much just to invalidate or even spread hate to people they don't even know
just remember that if you encounter someone who's misguided like that, that there's only so few of them in total compared to the amount of people who would happily support you for who/what you are <3
also maybe don't support people like that either, just a suggestion
bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”
By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
Meditation
Martial arts
Sports in general
Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
Woodworking
Cooking
If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers
Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
