tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb
#if you’re wondering if this is for you #it’s probably for you
If I have ever messaged you or messaged me and never heard from me again, I still consider us friends. I just suck

Concept: reverse Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the factory is 100% up to code and the eccentric owner’s tests consist of tricking the kids and their guardians into committing various OSHA violatons so he can have security throw them out. The last kid standing is the nerd who studies industrial safety protocols for fun.
(The workers are just regular dudes, but they still sing topically appropriate songs. Nobody pays them to do that, and frankly it’s a little concerning!)
ppl talk shit about tumblr but it’s delightfully ungovernable and chaotic. That has its downsides but watching companies try and fail to control it is amusing as fuck though it’s making the site garbagier than before.
I really think we shouldn’t overlook the impact of xkit here bc tumblr is like the one site where the user base wants and uses the ability to “push back” on site development. Most companies these days just roll out changes to force the user base to push whatever new behavior they think will make them millions and give the users no say. Tumblr does the same except *a bunch of use can push code back* because some awesome people make xkit available.
Like between that and the lack of visible follower counts tumblr really does offer the best at-will low pressure social media experience compared to the busy, forced user experience on other social media platforms.
Tumblr is the only site I know of where this happens regularly:
Staff post: “Here’s a new feature we’ve added!”
Every user reblog: “And here’s how to turn it off”
i’m a simple person. i see media where the setting is a masqueradle/ball with mysterious and/or paranormal things afoot and i lose my fcuking mind

I was just about to spiral into a bad panic attack, and my boyfriend goes "Stick an ice cube in your mouth." I'm not really sure where he got the idea, and I kinda laughed at it because I didn't see how it would help, but he was insistent. So I did it.
And now I'm on my second cube, because it worked.
He explained his reasoning to me when he got home.
1. I would initially think "what the fuck" and be distracted from the anxiety. (Correct.)
2. The cold of the ice would shock my system, bringing me back to the physical world and reality, drawing my focus to the cold in my mouth, and keep my brain away from thinking "I'm panicking, I must be dying." (Correct.)
3. He assumed I hadn't drank much water today and wanted to keep me hydrated. (Triple correct.)
It also forced your mouth to make saliva!
When you go into fight or flight mode, non-crucial body functions stop working so you have more energy to do what you need to do to survive (oooor to spiral into a panic attack). By forcing yourself to make saliva it helps calm you down because since fight or flight is an all or nothing response, they can’t happen at the same time.
Learned that from my old therapist, who would use it with veterans with ptsd
I’m doing this right now and its working????
THIS! Do this!
Anxiety is an emotional thing BUT there are feedback systems in place in your body that pay attention to physical states as well, which is why you then experience raised heart rate and so on when anxious. Eliminate or confuse one feedback system? Reduce anxiety.
Go be free!
biting into a lemon also works
Btw, this is part of Dialectic Behavioural Therapy, DBT for short, which was invented by a woman with borderline. It doesn't only work with panic attacks but also self harm, negative thought spirals, and sometimes even intrusive flashbacks.
Eating very spicey stuff works as well. I used to keep little packets of wasabi in my jacket, and that saved me more times I can count.
there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”
It got better

there are four kinds of tumblr users:
likes posts as bookmarks, to find them again later
likes posts as receipts, so they know they’ve reblogged them already
likes every post they see and enjoy because that’s what it’s for
has no liked posts at all, is possibly a cryptid
Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.
I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.
This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit.
This works for academic writing too. If you know where you’re going just leave yourself notes to fill in later. I do this all the time,
something that people really dont understand about ADHD is that we dont “jump from one idea to the next”
we have very fast, very associative minds that connect ideas. we have a train of thought, it just goes WAY faster than yours!
example: im thinking about dogs. that makes me think of pitbulls, which makes me think of an animal planet show i enjoy. the show connects to tv in general, which makes me think of my favorite cartoon. i associate my favorite cartoon with art and animation, and i wind up thinking about shading techniques.
TL;DR: having ADHD is kinda like playing a lifelong game of 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon
…WHAT THE FUCK
I am plagued by this but also that associative learning makes it really easy to be a hyper-generalist in terms of skills and knowledge.
This is how my brain works….
The downside is, very few people can keep pace with these jumps, and I’ve actually been told my “mind leaps” are annoying.
Yeah.
Let that sink in.
Being told that the way my mind makes connections between Point A and Point D while seemingly bypassing B and C is “annoying”.
… this.
It drives my husband absolutely NUTS- we’ll be having a conversation and in a lull between sentences I’ll have jumped ahead six topics, pop back in with a “Yeah, and-“
Meanwhile, he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. To him, whatever I’ve just said is a total non sequitur, but I can track EXACTLY how I got there… it just doesn’t make any sort of sense to anyone but me.
“Meanwhile, he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. To him, whatever I’ve just said is a total non sequitur, but I can track EXACTLY how I got there… it just doesn’t make any sort of sense to anyone but me.“
And if both people in the conversation have ADHD, that doesn’t mean they’ve made the same leaps. This is occasionally a source of strife in our household.
I learned to preface what I’m saying to people with, “I promise this is related, I’ll get there, stay with me,” so long ago…
Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.
fuck this gifset do you know how long i sat here waiting for fucking neptune to drag its lazy ass into the frame

I’m body positive
I got the results back today and they confirm that I do have a body
my condolences
People tend to make fun of you or look at you weird when you say you listen to game sountracks but really that is just a shame for them because
1. A lot of games have really good music
2. Doing mundane tasks but with over the top epic, dramatic or ominous music
3. Guess what, music created as background music in games also works really well as background music in real life. Who would have thought!
