Ouch

I'm so fucking tired of dealing with health care workers who fundamentally do not understand ME like ohhhhhhh my god you've got the wrong paradigm your framework is irrelevant your worldview is invalid your logic is inverted your swag is absent

HEAVY on the absence of swag

why is this getting notes again everyone STOP talking about white collar & rich guy shit i am a BLUE COLLAR DYKE!!!! THIS IS A JANITORIAL COMPANY!!!! i will NOT let you make this about white collar businessmen the poors are funny too ok

snake pareidolia is one of the strongest things in human minds too! people report freezing mid-stride before being consciously aware of a snake in front of them, and the same happens with coiled rope, etc. in humans and other primates. it’s even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primates’ insanely good color eyesight

It’s because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost

quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog

I actually lost one really nice follower because of this and I’m still sad.

If you're ever worried about whether your writing is too self indulgent, I just want you to remember that Sharknado had 5 sequels. I'm only partway through watching Sharknado 6: It's About Time, but already they've traveled through time and ridden a pteronadon into a Sharknado so they could use the magic teleportation portal inside of it to travel forward in time to King Arthur's time, where they are currently battling a Sharknado full of fire-breathing dragon sharks with Excalibur, which is a chainsaw sword that calls lightning. You're fine. In fact, be a little more self indulgent if anything.

Is this a hallucination? Are you ok?

You must understand that perfectionism isn’t striving for excellence, it’s a crippling fear of being flawed and therefore worth abandonment or punishment. It’s a kind of psychological avoidance. You’re avoiding fear and failure , not embracing the thing you want to do bc if it was about the thing you want to do you’d be fine with partial victory.

It’s an on going battle for me but I’m getting better! Finding little things to help, especially with showers and brushing my teeth, makes a huge difference. Like those little disposable tooth brushes that you don’t need water or to rinse and those no rinse shower cloth things that suds up and you just have to pay off after have made a big difference for me. But sometimes even that’s hard and that’s okay too. What matters is doing your best.

do not underestimate my ability to overthink & make myself physically ill
