LOOK AT THIS RAT YAWN

Okay, you may proceed.

The whole thing is just so deeply factional which has never been an aspect of the game I liked. Not really. Conflict? Yes, good. This “Hey babeh wanna kill all Allies?” stuff?  Bleh.

One of the things I really like about The Secret World is that all 3 factions actively dislike, mock, and work against each other BUT they also work together and help each other at the same time. I play a Dragon and my wife plays a Templar and we can totally quest together as though we were both Horde side, for example. We have some separate questlines unique to our factions and motives etc but it’s all about shades of gray and things being complex and twisty, ya know? Ultimately there’s always bigger things to deal with than factional pettiness, regardless of how the narrative tries to justify it.

I hate this black and white “no fraternizing, kill them all” nonsense. Even though I’m not actively RPing these days I like to run through any MMO with that individual character I’m playing in mind. This ain’t workin for me. 

Makes me all the gladder I’m writing a non-WoW oriented story for Rou. >_>

So yeah, life has been pretty shit lately and I am struggling to find a job. I have PTSD, Panic Disorder, and Depression and I need help affording meds, food, and appointments.

This photoshoot is dedicated to all the South Asian women out there who are often underrepresented in media simply because the color of their skin doesn’t fit South Asia’s unreasonable, fair&lovely, eurocentric beauty standards. As we all know, colorism is huge in India and Pakistan. Our society has come to the point where people talk about fighting oppression and uplifting women, but no one actually does anything about it. In this photoshoot I wanted to help represent darker skinned girls in the media, and address an issue through fashion photography.

Little girls grow up with their mothers bantering them about their skin color and how a man would never want them because they’re too dark. This does not help a girl’s self confidence, and it’s important to teach them from a young age that they’re beautiful and worthy in order to prevent them from being a self conscious teen. It’s also important to teach other girls that are lighter skinned to support these girls. In high school, a South Asian boy my friend had a crush on said that she was “too dark” and basically implied that’s the reason why he wouldn’t want a relationship with her. Comments like these are what destroy girl’s self confidence, especially when they’re young, vulnerable and lost. Support and help your sisters!

With the rise of young South Asians taking their pride in jewelry and colorful clothes to Instagram, it’s important not to romanticize the culture. Every culture has it’s good and bad, and although it’s totally fine to appreciate and be grateful for the good, we shouldn’t be silent about the bad especially if we are privileged. While our own South Asians are constantly romanticizing our culture, but not acknowledging it’s dirty laundry they are also promoting social marginalization. Women are treated horribly, LGBTQ isn’t a thing (especially in Pakistan), and more of our afro-south asian brothers and sisters are murdered on the streets the longer we stay silent. Instead of bringing light to these issues, our culture keeps quiet.

I recommend this approach to anyone facing discrimination instead of diagnostics. (I have 2 autoimmune disorders.)]

This is a really useful tip for dealing with a doctor who’s just unwilling to work with you.

Will it work 100% of the time? No. Some may find it too aggressive and go on the defensive; some may say they’re making a note and then “forget” to; some may be so certain of their medical opinion that they’ll make the note and just move on. Be sure to take context into consideration as you deploy this line.
