Thumbs Up Baby 👎🏻

zoning out or imagining things is not dissociation. dissociation is a severe trauma response. fucking stop with this. you were not traumatized by your math homework and dissociating at your desk, you were uninterested and zoned out.

I can see where they're coming from with this, like yes getting really into a hobby that provides escapism can be a trauma response...or it can just be a hobby. What rubs me the wrong way though, is the implication supposed to be that children without mental health issues wouldn't read a lot? That would be some straight up anti intellectual bullshit, funny how they're saying that with therapyspeak.

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

"we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button"

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

it's been so long I can't even remember that technology is supposed to help us, not exploit us

Have you tried on a milk & honey soaked bread with a note tucked inside? That usually grabs a fae folk's attention.

I am allergic to all of those things so I don’t like handling them. But it’s fine. I grew up here. My dad once left me at the fairy mound unattended on accident. They know I’m good for it.

Was your dad trying to get a witch child? Because that's how you get a witch child.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

you'd think occasionally men would need to touch other men like this to manoeuvre them out of the way but it never happens

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

my teeth were perfectly designed to tear abd rend the soft white flesh of the gentle beast known as the mozzarella

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

In the "Rookies" episode of the Clone Wars animated series, we see Cody taking one of Rex's pistols (calling them sidearms here is technically incorrect, not only does Rex carry them as his primary weapon, but because as far as I can reasonably tell, the DC-17 fits the criteria for an Offensive Handgun) from its holster without Rex giving it to him, and if that's not deeply homoerotic, then I don't know what is.
