TW! SEXUAL ASSULT MENTIONS BELOW THE CUT!

also one of my friends was nearly sexually assaulted at school on school grounds last year while we were waiting for the busses to go home. there were tons of teachers around, but they didn't do anything.

so, im *sick* cough cough so i dont have to worry about *april 24th, named national rape day* by *grown ass men*

Not taking any chances!

Ladies, please stay safe tomorrow!

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

The man himself! Full of jokes..

How do I say, without coming across as a jaded miserable little bitch who likes raining on everybody's parade, that the PJO Disney plus adaption is nostalgia bait, in the same way that their live action remakes are

have just been introduced to a kitten named rascal who lives on my floor and whose babysitters (who are not his owner?) were trying Really hard to goad me into adopting which like. he's a little baby and he's so so so silly and he barely even bit me but like also. this cat isn't yours???? anyway if the owner's giving him up then I might finally have a cat which like AHHHHHG

I've been trying to put this into words for a while now and I think I might have something -- most of the time when people examine storytelling tropes, especially experts in a related field, especially historians and medical professionals, they are setting out to disprove the trope.

Even if they're not, once they find some evidence that the trope doesn't work in real life or isn't how it was done historically, they often expect that to be the end of the conversation. Historically, people did not go adventuring with two-handed greatswords strapped to their backs -- and therefore you should not have it happen in your fiction, and the conversation ends there. In real life, having a character get hit so hard on the head that they pass out for several hours would demand immediate medical intervention and likely cause permanent brain damage -- and therefore you should not have it happen in your fiction. End of discussion.

These people fail, I think, to understand the reason these tropes exist. It is not because people are just uneducated and think that's how things work. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say far more people are already aware of these things than these experts assume. The attraction of the trope doesn't come from the belief that it is accurate.

These tropes exist because it is widely agreed that they are cool, sexy, emotionally fulfilling, narratively convenient, or any number of other things that really have nothing to do with whether or not they are accurate to reality. I'm not quite sure what it is about most of these experts that makes them unable to understand that, or unwilling to play the game that the rest of us engage in, where we all quietly pretend that it does work because it's harmless and enjoyable.

Really the only people I've ever seen who understand that and try to work their own expertise on the subject into the tropes in a cohesive and satisfying way are Shadiversity on YouTube and blumineck on here. Both in the martial arts categories, which ties mostly into history -- I've yet to find a medical professional online who's willing to play the game.

since i have such deeprooted issues w my body image and eating nd food i feel like ashamed of saying it but omg im thinking abt food constantly now.... i miss unhealthy stuff yeah, but i cant even have stir fry w a shit ton of broccoli nd cauliflower nd carrot which is one of my fav things to eat. i cant eat anything without pain and nausea and that sucks so much. in 50 hours i have eaten one small portion of oatmeal nd one potato like im so fkn hungry nd im obsessively thinking abt food it drives me crazy. i cant even sit down and drink a cup of green lemon tea!!!!!!!!! soooo just had to complain abt this a little bc even if im trying not to think abt it, trying to be like well at least a surgery will most likely fix it i just have to wait, im like.... so exhausted so weak so hungry thinking abt food constantly :( </33

Jamie's behavior has been pretty odd recently, but even he can tell when he's met an equal

met this weird-ass delivery guy named Baileys and BOY HOWDY

HE IS REALLY DEDICATED

TO HIS JOB

any way Jamie has an egg now and i think Baileys is gonna sleep for 3 years straight

swiftie mutuals please know that i still love you i just cant help but be a hater

Serious life update: im medicated now

i just took my first dose of my adhd meds this morning :D we'll see how it goes

secondary thought from Camp Jupiter Confidential: Claudia got her SPQR tattoo from her mom, rather than through the normal ceremony. Love how this implies sometimes, Romans just spontaneously get their tattoos from random sources and no one can verify it so it just becomes a “Source: Dude trust me” about where it came from. I now suspect this has absolutely been exploited before.

i think im gonna quit my job. i rlly dont think i can do this anymore. it is just so exhausting my body is falling apart i am in so much pain all the time. & it is so thankless too. i mean, thats not always true. i have clients that love me & i truly care about them & their dogs, but theres just - so many assholes. & ik thats everywhere. i get it. but i put in so much work for what? & something that i actually said to my bsf the other day - i could deal with my body falling apart if the pay was good. but it isnt!! & there isnt truly anyway for it to get better!! it was never my dream job to begin with, but i could stick with it, but i really think it is time for me to leave now, before too long & theres even more pressure for me to stay. i just cant do it anymore.

my mom kind of gave me some tips on how to make a cv etc (how she did it) on excel and she said i could try making mine and then she could check it if i wanted, but the thing is that she doesnt know i use libreoffice. she HATES anything thats not excel....😭

whooooo having an anxiety attack about covid. again 👍

Triage is such an interesting topic I felt like I'm not even studying and instead reading on a random topic I'm accidentally hyperfixate on
