Unless you have concrete evidence, "The government did X thing to distract from Y thing" is conspiracy thought.

Thanks for the question, Anon!
I got my lobes pierced when I was 12, so elementary school. I added more over the years when I was in high school and then took those out, but got my conch pierced when I was 27. So I have my lobes and conch currently.

i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

The really annoying thing about ADHD is that it always feels like I’m only able to do 90% of what I need to, no matter how much that actually is.
If I have a 100 things on my plate I’ll do 90, but if I only have 10 I’ll do 9 no matter how much I want to just be finished. And I understand not being able to do 90 every day, but it constantly feels like my ability isn’t determined by me, but as an arbitrary fraction designed to keep me permanently one step behind.
It feels like my ability has nothing to do with me and is just a dice roll in a game engine that’s scaling difficulty way too effectively

I just read that post going around about how “we only have 18 months to save the planet from climate change and also the Arctic is on fire” and I’m just so scared and tired. It seems like every time I try to fight anxiety, something comes out like “nope sorry your worst fears are true we’re all going to die within a year and a half” and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m scrolling through your blog trying to calm down—thanks so much for doing this, it really helps. You’re awesome!
Hey Anon!
I’ve gotten a couple of asks about that article, so I’m going to cover them all in one fell swoop.
It’s really important to remember that articles on the Internet (particularly the headline and introduction) are designed to be dramatic and attention-getting. Despite what the headline implies, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has not changed the 12-year deadline that it issued in October.
What that article IS saying:
-Some scientists believe major political and social changes need to be started in the next 18 months for us to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement
-Specifically, the headline references a quote by Britain’s Prince Charles, in which he was talking about a series of critical UN meetings on climate change that will take place in the next 18 months
What that article IS NOT saying:
-The world will end in 18 months
-Human society will collapse in 18 months
-All scientists agree that this is our last chance to stop apocalyptic climate change
-We are all doomed
A quote from the actual article:
“Whether it’s the evidence of heatwaves, or the influence of Swedish school striker Greta Thunberg, or the rise of Extinction Rebellion, there has been a marked change in public interest in stories about climate change and a hunger for solutions that people can put in place in their own lives.
People are demanding significant action, and politicians in many countries have woken up to these changes.
Ideas like the green new deal in the US, which might have seemed unfeasible a few years ago have gained real traction.
Some countries like the UK have gone even further and legislated for net zero emissions by 2050, the long-term goal that will keep temperatures down.”
Yes, we need to make big changes and we need to start making them as soon as we possibly can, but there are already many cities and countries taking big steps towards making those changes and public concern regarding climate change is increasing rapidly.
Unfortunately, the internet really likes to pass around dramatic, out-of-context screenshots, which are understandably very upsetting when they make it sound like the world is going to completely end in a year and a half.
Remember to take breaks from the bad news if you need to and focus on things you can actually have an impact on (voting for and promoting leaders that take climate change seriously, supporting causes working to fix environmental damage, making your community more sustainable, etc). You aren’t alone and there is always hope. Take care of yourself. Keep fighting.

“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”
I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

Every discord I’ve ever been in has had a pets channel. I like that about humans. Our companions will never understand this form of affection, yet we still love them so much that we make space for them even in a virtual communities. We care regardless of whether it can be understood or returned.
