What’s your fantasy?
I wake up, my debt is all paid off, my bank account is full, my relationships with my family are healthy, and I’m able to travel anywhere in the world.
reblog for this ultimate fantasy life to come true
my life with ADHD
This is very true and a great post.
But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced
I think your point is excellent. But also consider:
That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”
For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.
This addition is so important.
Also it turns out it is really helpful to your mental health to be able to accomplish boring chores like dishes when they are a quick few things and not an enormous pile of everything you own?? And then you find yourself doing things like not eating because it will add to the dishes and you know you won’t be able to do them any more than you could earlier so now maybe TECHNICALLY you don’t have an eating disorder but your eating habits look like one. And you feel horrible about yourself because why can’t you just do some damn dishes like a billion other people???
Like it or not being a functional human being does in fact depend on doing something other than ~experiencing things~. Getting rid of capitalism will not fix the fact that I have no executive function and can’t afford an actual adhd assessment and as a result spend a lot of my time just absolutely miserable because I physically cannot make myself start a task, any task. I hate the “value what you experience not what you produce” line SO MUCH because all I want to be able to do is produce clean dishes and laundry on a regular schedule and my brain just doesn’t work that way and it severely negatively impacts my life.
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
wizard college is going to kill me I swear to god. I just saw someone without a component satchel reach into their pocket and pull out a handful of LOOSE tapioca to use as a substitute for blood in their fell ritual. and it worked. I've never been so fucking mad.

What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?
Milotic is one of my favourite Pokémon designs - aspecially the shiny form! - so I wanted to give it a spin. Its abilities are really interesting and different from each other. Hoenn is a tropical region so I found a lot of inspiration from tropical fish.
Also, shoutout if you get the 436 water tiles reference. Players these days have it easy.
a really little animated black cat with giant eyes and no other discernible features
do you get it or do you not know anything
more examples that people keep getting upset with me for not adding
That’s just how black cats be
Elon is recruiting randos from Twitter to compete for the chance to work themselves to death figuring out how to take away your welfare.
Nothing says efficiency like creating a whole ass new department with two co-chairs.
Nothing says efficency like creating a new "department" to do the job already being done by an existing office.
Elon is only calling it DOGE cause he can't call it THE X DEPARTMENT because he already wasted that on trying to rename Twitter
it is absolutely BONKERS to me, the number of people in the united states i have talked to who have never even heard of the battle of blair mountain. how the largest labor uprising in our history manages to skirt by so many leftists unknown is just downright astonishing. the largest labor uprising, and the largest armed uprising, period, since the civil war.
did yall even hear me?
THE LARGEST ARMED UPRISING!! besides the civil!!! fucking!! war!!! was fought in 1921 in the name of LABOR RIGHTS AND UNIONS by TEN THOUSAND RIGHTEOUSLY PISSED, STRIKING COAL MINERS
these absolute fucking LEGENDS marching out the hollers of west virginia, wearing their red bandanas and wielding their papaw's shotguns pointed at the lawmen. waging war against the fucking UNITED. STATES. MILITARY!!! for their right to work safely and be paid fairly!!!
and people just like. don't know about that? put some fucking respect on west virginia!!! and fellow appalachians, yall best just own it when ignorant people call you a fucking redneck cause our ancestors did that shit and they did it for us
The mine owners hired planes to drop bombs on the striking workers. Chemical weapons and leftover WWI explosives were also used against the striking workers. All for the “horrific crime” of wanting to join a miner’s union.
That is why we celebrate Labor Day in September. That is why Labor Day is a national holiday.
To the best of my knowledge, the continental United States has only suffered air-to-ground attacks four times in the nation's history.
9/11
One (1) successful fire balloon attack courtesy of the Japanese Empire in WWII
The Battle of Blair Mountain
and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
A full half of these attacks are US citizens bombing other US citizens because the victims of these attacks were willing to do the hard work required to improve their material conditions within the oppressive systems that defined their lives.
Eri and Sol being band members. They're pretty close, I can tell ;)
Idea and reference based on Damiano and Thomas - Maneskin.
