Hey, don’t cry. Free online database of Japanese folk lore
Might I add, free database of mostly European folklore and myths
A Book of Creatures by @a-book-of-creatures doesn't update these days but is another thing along these lines, really huge, fully illustrated all by the author and cites all sources

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”
Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
#'this is present in the text' is often a good first step #but those second and third ones (naming it; describing its function) are vital (via @elucubrare)
A few years ago while trying to find ways to commit suicide as painlessly as possible, I came across a PDF of Dr. Paul Quinnett's The Forever Decision. Thinking it might go into actual methods of suicide (I read an article once that actually did that and was trying to find it again) I started to read it, and I think I only got about two pages in before I was crying too much to actually see the words.
I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.
All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."
But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.
It's intentionally legal to copy and redistribute this book to keep it as accessible as possible, and it's very easy to find, but here's a link for it anyways.
going with the flow in a face down in a river kinda way

think the biggest sign of tumblrs aging population is how we went from posting about how unethical and ineffective assigning homework in schools is to deciding that humanity is fucked because kids these days aren't writing essays with is much enthusiasm as you have for your fanfic about two white guys from the Pitt
if you are currently in school and you somehow see this post, heed my warning. any adult on here telling you essays/homework/school is easy or something you must be grateful for is fucking compromised. they do not relate to you, care about you, or respect your autonomy.
do what you need to survive, it is an injustice that anything more is expected of you
on survival

Important note from a (future) nurse: if you are chronically ill, on a lot of medications, even managing conditions on your own, buy a drug guide. Davis's Drug Guide is what they had us buy for nursing school, and I've looked up every single medication I take in it. It helps you understand what the drug is doing to you, helps you understand side effects, reasons why you shouldn't take a medication, things to monitor for while you're taking a medication. It's not perfect by any means, but the thing I've found is that it's helped me guide conversations with providers, nurses, pharmacists, it's helped me figure out what questions to ask. When I've heard people talk about what they didnt know about their meds, what they wish they knew about their meds, it's often in a drug guide.
Out of everything I've learned in nursing school, it is the biggest thing I'd advocate for having in any home, period.
something something the poetry of science etc
woah
yeah

a lot of you see trans women as trans people who happen to be women, instead of women who happen to be trans
sorry to screenshot your tags prev but. this is literally so real
"This study found that blocking internet access on phones led to better mental health for youth!"
Look inside
75% dropoff rate
hey so is there possibly a survivorship bias in that some youth don't have a viable replacement for the social outlets on their phones
Imagine studying whether getting strapped to a table and sprayed with a water hose is a fun experience. You look only at the people who go through an entire two-hour spraying session. Your dropoff rate is something like 80%, and you collect data from just the spray-loving sickos.
Your study inherently selected for people willing to participate in this unpleasant experience, and then you didn't report on what the people who tapped out early had to say, either.
That means your result is worse than garbage! It's actively refusing to look at the majority of information obtained!
in the end we are all creatures in need of love and comfort
KKK said the same thing about the hoods.
I NEED HELP
I have until Friday to pay $500 in rent or I get evicted. I’m so fucking scared it’s February in Michigan and I don’t even have a car to live out of. I don’t have any money. I don’t have a place for my cat. I’m going to fucking freeze on the streets and I’m freaking the fuck out. I haven’t eaten in days. My heat is about to get shut off. Idk what to do anymore. I give up. I can’t do this.

Maybe it's the neurodivergence, but one thing I cannot and have not ever been able to understand is why being offended at something is considered such a cardinal sin.
For example, some of you may remember an advertisement campaign from Dr Pepper from the early 2010's that "Dr Pepper is not for women!". A friend of mine wrote a very lengthy, yet calmly and rather academically written essay on why this wasn't harmless fun, and actually quite damaging and misogynistic. She posted it on her blog and shared the link over social media, and everywhere people tore her to shreds for committing the cardinal sin of being offended by something.
That was it. They had no other argument on why her essay or points were wrong or bad other than "she's offended aha!!" and then acted like they totally just owned her and put her in her place by pointing this out. Am I missing something? Why is it worse to be offended than to be offensive?
If you step on my toes, and I yell "ouch!" would you take your foot off of mine and apologize, or would you mock me for being hurt by you stepping on my toes? In what bizarro world would we consider the person who yelled "ouch!" to be weak, or worthy of being mocked, or committing some cardinal offense for yelling "ouch!" instead of just being chill with someone standing on their toes?
I actually had someone creating multiple accounts to harass me over this post last night. I would block them, and then the same username but just with a different string of numbers at the end would pop up again a few minutes later to continue harassing me.
The thing is, no one does anything like that unless they themselves are offended. A person who looks at this post and feels no offense at the sentiment behind it doesn't get worked up and emotional enough to create multiple accounts just so they can harass the OP.
It's interesting, people who get really angry and heated about this topic have a warped sort of double standard idea of what it means to be offended. Everyone does get offended, but people who get so angry about other people's offense don't see their own anger as offense, it's rational and justified (to them). It's only people who they disagree with / don't like whose anger / negative feelings count as "being offended".
this strategy is used specifically to try stop marginalized people from ever pushing back on anything damaging. It was extremely popular and successful as a took for misogynists to refute criticism from women, because it reinforced narratives that women were overly emotional. By reducing all criticism to a critique on women's supposed inability to be rational, it was an effective way of shutting down critiques. For Black people it draws on tropes of "angry Black people", ect
Harass someone until they get upset
Mock them for getting upset
Profit?
Pretty common bullying tactic when I was a child. And now, of course.
