Sending love to anyone who is just… tired.
Of the bills. The responsibility. The emotional labor. The constant pressure of trying to make life work for themselves and the people they love.
Be gentle with yourself. The caregiver deserves care, too.

I have no way to explain it, but one of my biggest overarching/general pet peeves is performative language policing. I just deeply, immensely, viscerally FUCKING HATE IT and absolutely REFUSE to participate, even when I theoretically could just do it to make people happy.
No, I’m not going to call my nationality by some clunky name that no one would ever come up with if they didn’t have an agenda and want an easy way to dunk on us. No, I’m never going to play the game of “this group wins the Oppression Olympics, therefore they get the acronym in all situations, regardless of the ease with which anyone with a brain can figure out the meaning from context”. No, I’m not going to remove any non-slurs from my organically acquired vocabulary because someone thinks that language use is a closed community that they get to personally gatekeep. It’s just never going to fucking happen, with the possible exception of it being required in a professional space, but that’s part of how we all swallow our dignity to get paid.
And that goes both ways, I’m not a hypocrite. I’m never going to do anything more than giggle when parenting communities use FTM to mean first-time mom. And I’m not going to demand a queer card from someone naturally, fluently using queer slang. It’s equally as abhorrent to me on the other side of the issue.
Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.
oh you wanna survive my torture chamber? why, so you can suck more dick?
Why would you join a monster-fucking shitpost group and then get mad at people posting Pokemon? Especially the kind that have mental manipulation powers and are therefore clearly, in every canon that exists, sapient.
What a bunch of puriteen, anti bullshit.

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.
Clarice Lispector, from a letter to Fernando Sabino featured in Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector
COMPOSURE – Stop. You've gotten too close to him. Your heart is pounding, and you can barely stand.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY – Yes! Don't waste time. Grab him by anything. Better yet – kiss him.
AUTHORITY – The Lieutenant is a professional. He would never let this happen. Accept the fact that after this, he'll mock you for being such an incompetent officer.
VOLITION – Keep yourself together. Turn it into a joke. No disaster will occur.
LOGIC – If you step back now, you can say you tripped.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Impossible – Success] – Kiss Kim Kitsuragi.

no but like imagine being Pryce and having those super secret plans, and you want to involve Harry in it, then Jean comes back like so Harry has amnesia, allegedly. and you as Pryce think about how that is great because if he knew anything about the secret plans before, he won't tell anyone anything now for sure. probably very easy to manipulate him now too. and then Jean would go so I fired him. yeah my coworker. my superior. the guy who you wanted to include in your secret plan and for sure won't tell anyone about it is going to die. the guy with 16 or something years of service, who was taking drugs so he could work more, had the lowest kill count and most solved cases. the guy who was promoted twice which made me rise in the ranks with him. the police partner who i am allegedly close with. that guy? he has bullet wounds and an alcohol addiction which he is supposed to just quit cold turkey, he's in a shack in buttfuck nowhere with no medical service or any money. because he was having a 3-4 month long mental health episode and was mean to me. even though he just solved the case (did his job.) all going well boss. can I get a new partner pls. someone less annoying to work with. from the bloody murder police station. that has cops with high kill counts and John "Archetype" McCoy
this reads like it was submitted to a local newspaper in the early 1900s
Before I have to sign an NDA: providing tech support for billionaires sucks exactly as much as you would imagine.
We don't work directly with many billionaires but the ones that we do are uniformly whiny pissbabies who throw tantrums about totally normal tech stuff and try wheedle their way into free services by threatening to fire us if we don't give them free shit.
The problem is that every whiny pissbaby billionaire is perfectly willing to whine to the board members of companies and nonprofits we *do* want to work with, so if you fire the whiny billionaire as a client or get fired by a whiny billionaire as a service provider, it can destroy your business.
This the same with massive multinational corporations. Business owners get excited at the chance to work with them and see a potentially lucrative customer. They demand so much extra special treatment and labor that working with them destroys every business, hemorrhaging money, cutting quality standards to meet absurd demands. They ultimately end up taking cheapest, lowest profit option and receive it a massive discount, and never return or generate any other business down the line. It's fascinating how they all seem to be the worst people to work with on all levels, but company owners blind themselves to the risk, repeatedly. You'll see people walking around hollow eyed and numb, and it's because you did like a one word logo design for an Amazon subsidiary or sold copper wiring to Microsoft or whatever, everyone worked 100 hour work weeks for a month and they paid two shiny nickels for it. And they will not send business your way either, no chance, unless it's like, you're a company specialized in corporate accounting and it's some dude who wants you to print a t-shirt idea he thinks will make a billion dollars.
once you realize you don’t actually need to sleep, you can really (stops talking abruptly and stares straight ahead for 4 minutes)
Video games kinda suck at designing female heroes
In 2002, the photographer Howard Schatz published a photo collection called "Athlete" featuring pictures of, well, various top athletes from every sport and genre. These are some of the women he photographed, and the thing I want you to do in your head is compare the variety of humans that you're seeing here to the variety of humans you see in the cast list of your favourite video games.
These women are all in peak human condition for their fields - if you wanted to design a character who is tough and strong, these are the kinds of bodies you should look to for reference on what that looks like. You tell me how many video games or comics or movies or anime create their characters with even this limited variety in shape and size.
Of course, realism is not the end-all and be-all, fantasy characters don't need to be realistic, but if you are given the chance to make a character look like literally anything and justify it by "magic," and the only thing you do is reproduce the same 3 or 4 generically hot women over and over again, you are doing character design very poorly, in my opinion.
