An Android Dreaming of Electric Sheep

look at the republican calendar and see which animal/plant/item is associated with your birthday ok. if you're born january 14 you get the day of the cat

solidarity for everyone who was born on the day of the cistern or the watering can or something like that

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.

this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for

Revolutionary idea: imagine [character I like] with [disability I have]. More people should get on this!

"Are you saying we should just allow people to have bad and scary thoughts and feelings??? And talk about them openly??" Yes. Yes I am. Your need to forcibly correct other people's thoughts and feelings into something more palatable and punishing them if they refuse to hide them is FAR more toxic than the hypothetical suicide joke you're getting mad about

mobility aids and glasses should be free for everyone

people need those to live

MEDICATION SHOULD ALSO BE FREE ACTUALLY. PEOPLE ALSO NEED THAT TO LIVE

ok i get the sentiment from people in the notes and i do agree with it but this is specifically a disability post

so fucking humbling to be like “no I like that character a normal amount” and then you can literally feel your heart rate spike at a mention of them like a dog that just heard the word “treat”

i think a part of executive dysfunction that isn't talked about a lot (mainly because of capitalism being more concerned with your ability to generate profit rather than your overall wellbeing, and that leaking into psychiatry) is the fact that it turns hobbies into chores. like yeah it's really tough to do homework or to schedule this appointment or to clean my room, but what really hurts is not being able to write. gathering the mental energy to shower sucks not just because of how dirty struggling to shower makes me feel, but because now I can't go to the park or the library. i WANT to read, but my brain is actively dragging me away from the book i'm trying to get invested in. i want to finish this DIY project, but god is it so much easier to sit and do nothing. it sucks. i just wanna do things.
