It’s a cliche that there are always rpg companions who disapprove of you dragging the party around to help random people out of the goodness of their heart but honestly I’d probably be one of them. Like if I was grouped up under some incongruously beat face CC’d ig baddy or worse, some fucking guy, because we had a job of world saving importance to do and they kept getting distracted by every sad peasant who lost their family heirloom, insisting we help and not accept a reward, you’d be seeing Nico Disapproves in the corner too. Bitch we have a job to do the darkspawn tadpole chip in our head is going to summon the reaper Sith invasion of Hoover Dam any day now get with the fucking program

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

i have a suggestion

i hate the way fat antagonists have their weight moralized and used as a metaphor for greed and corruption and i hate the way it's overcorrected into fat people being "soft squishy friend-shaped cupcakes who look like they give incredible hugs" and i long for the day we have nuanced, interesting, and complicated fat characters and most of all i long for the day people are normal about fatness

there’s absolutely something to be said about ‘booktok’ books being largely wattpad quality written erotica i’m certainly not reading them however having seen a guy on tiktok make a video like ‘all the women in your life are READING PORN’ about a book he picked up and read in his FEMALE FRIEND’S HOUSE in a tone of scandalised horror and disgust i actually don’t think men should be making those criticisms. he said he picked it up expecting a romance and was horrified it was GOONER SHIT he said specifically like ‘who are you getting your pussy wet FOR??’ in a tone of revulsion. idk man im not sure shes the weird one. i kind of wish you were dead

"a lot of books that are successful on booktok are not very good" and "people can read what they want and we need to stop being so fucking weird about women enjoying erotica" are both correct statements

whats the loudest reocurring noise that happens near ur house for example i live next to an airport so its definitely the planes

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

Anytime I learn more (and why is there ALWAYS more?) about how repressive the US is towards specifically native people I burn in my body. The quote above is the culture we live in and has been perpetuated for literally HUNDREDS of years. If you stand with natives literally work to get involved and back them up with policy changes and give them the freedom they deserve

Underrated hack for tracking progress and not being hard on yourself during early stages is to have a “demo day” where you track what your baseline is without intentional modifications to improve. For example, say someone is trying to decrease their screen time. They give themself a screen time limit (2-3 hours usually) and try to abide by it. Sometimes they’re good about it, other times they fall off. They’re really hard on themself when they fall off track. However, what’s not in perspective for them is the fact that they started with like a 9 hour screen time. Even the fact that on some days they’re succeeding is huge. You need to have a “tangible” view of your baseline to compare your improvement to. That way you’re way less hard on yourself. Don’t skip the demo day

Just to add to this: I feel like most people’s “demo day” is Day 1, where they’re at peak motivation and doing everything by the book. So if they fall off later down the line, naturally they’re harder on themselves. That’s why there should be a Day 0, or demo day. You need to always remember where you used to be so as not to fall into an all or nothing mentality. I’m veryyy guilty of this.

I love doing a "demo day" (not actively what I call it, it's been vibes but I love having a title). I do this when I have multiple days in a row off and I want to do a deep clean. I'm like, okay, what can I possibly do today with no pressure to reset my home? And then I get some stuff done and understand the pace of activities I need to do for the next few days to actually finish what I started without feeling like I did a lot with no results. It's sooo nice to be kind to your brain and body using a "demo day"
