any thoughts about asexuality on the mind?
being asexual is so rad and cool and freeing. good stuff
also, it’s good that I can still be a horrible depraved pervert and still not have sex. sex is so scary i’m glad it only exists in my fucked up fictional scenarios
horrible depraved perverts are a cornerstone of the asexual community
asexuals are a cornerstone of the horrible depraved perverts community

I think it's really interesting how early in worm, Lisa tells Taylor how Rachel's mind was altered to understand dogs and she lost her ability to do the same for humans, and that if they told Rachel then she'd probably break down. Wish that was explored sometime in the text, with Rachel realizing that the the dogs she loves are the reason she feels so alien and alone, and breaking down crying and howling and punching and not knowing how to deal with this until Taylor sits by her without speaking and pulls her into a hug and Rachel doesn't know how to interpret the hug but knows enough to figure out that Taylor is trying to make her feel better and she tries to hug back and it's awkward but she's sobbing on Taylor's shoulder while Taylor runs her fingers through her hair, and even if she lost her ability to understand people, Taylor understands her and she means so much to her and they're gay if this wasn't clear
If there's any chance, I wish there's new anime film of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Telling more about Kushana's part.
Be careful which portals you take. You may not be returning so easily.

Sorry to break it to y'all but believing in anything, participating in anything, has the capacity to harm people. There's no perfect system of belief that exempts you from having to continually work to not be an asshole.
Like, it never stops. It's not like you're gonna read the right book of philosophy or religion or magic and be like "I've found it! The perfect idealogical framework! Now all of my actions for the rest of my life will finally be perfectly moral and impossible to criticize!"
you, reading this. you're a creature now. reblog to creature your followers
get creatured idiot
I mentioned it before but it is very striking to me that as of the last tumblr update, there are now no (0) ways to open someone's desktop blog from a dashboard post. like you can't access the url dot tumblr dot com page at all now unless you already know it exists. imo this seems like a canary that personal blog pages will be gone very shortly, which would suck, since to me that is one of the only good things this site has going for it
Correction: you can still open the top-level URL.tumblr.com link from someone's avatar on the dashboard (so, someone you follow). Actually, I should specify. Here's a post on the dashboard with seven ways to access a post:
- Followed blog avatar: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to URL1.tumblr.com.
- Reblogger URL: Hyperlink, opens in new tab, to tumblr.com/URL1.
- Reblogged-from URL: Same as #2, but to tumblr.com/URL2.
- Uhh... hitbox?: Whatever this is can't be opened in a new tab and doesn't even look like a link, but clicking on it opens the dashboard view of tumblr.com/URL1/post.
- Copy link under meatball menu: Not a hyperlink, but copies to the clipboard tumblr.com/URL1/post?trackinginfo.
- OP URL: Same as #2 and #3, but to tumblr.com/URL3.
- Other... hitbox... thing: Same as #4, but to tumblr.com/URL3/post.
So you can access the custom blog, but not a post on a custom blog, despite the plethora of links. Very annoying.
No, here’s the worst part: you can indeed get the link of the post you are clicking on and view it on the person’s custom blog!
IT’S JUST ON THE FUCKING MEATBALL MENU TIMESTAMP INSTEAD FOR SOME REASON I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS SITE
oh my god
I always wonder if it would help making a general post about dental care tips so here goes. (For reference, I am able to provide this guidance under supervision usually in a hospital setting, so this information is correct and expected of me when treating patients).
Brushing 2x day is important, even once a day if you can, do it before you sleep because that's when you're not swallowing and flushing out your mouth so plaque stays stagnant and causes trouble.
Use a fluoride toothpaste - it is the single most impactful component in our modern hygiene ritual from the past 40y that has reduced the amount of caries we see in patients.
Spit, do NOT rinse after brushing. Not even with mouthwash. Just spit the excess toothpaste out. Trust me. You'll get used to it after 2 days!
Please floss. Find the best way for you - use floss, flossettes or the tepe brushes. 1x a day is the optimal amount, before you sleep. 40% of plaque is between the teeth!
A Waterpik cannot replace floss, it can feel nice but you need to mechanically scrape away plaque and bits of food stuck in there.
If you can, use an electric toothbrush cause it can be helpful with timing and pressure sensing.
2 minutes of brushing is a lot longer than you'd think. Have a go at timing it and see what you find :).
Make sure you're replacing your brushes/brush heads every 3 months or once the bristles fray.
Keep in mind the amount of pressure you're placing when you brush - you don't need a lot otherwise you'll traumatise your gums.
If you wish to use a mouthrinse, you can at any time other than brushing (unless the rinse is prescribed). The reasoning for this is the fluoride content is significantly lower and will essentially wash away the toothpaste fluoride you've just applied, rendering it meaningless and your teeth are unprotected. You can have a look at the packaging- most toothpastes are around 1400ppm whereas mouthrinse is 350ppm.
Avoid charcoal and whitening toothpastes. They're too abrasive and will wear away your teeth if you use them. If you really want to use a whitening toothpaste, do it 1/week and avoid foods/drinks that stain e.g. coffee, wine etc once you've used it.
Charcoal blocks fluoride uptake in the teeth so seriously avoid it. It's not going to help.
Don't forget your tongue! Scrape it with your brush or you can get tongue scrapers. The tongue is a reservoir of bacteria and can replenish unfavourable bacteria species population after brushing, leading to some bad breath.
If you find your mouth is quite dry, you may have xerostomia which could be caused by a number of things. It is a common side effect of many medications so keep this in mind and drink water :). Saliva is really helpful in maintaining the health of your mouth so we want to make sure we're maintaining that role!
Also want to add in a bit of advice I got from the dental hygienist at my last appointment, when I said I didn’t brush as often as I should, because the taste of toothpaste in my mouth causes a problem with [stuff that’s a long story and not relevant here, but it is a valid issue for me]. She told me that in those cases, I could brush without toothpaste, just water. Because it’s not as good as brushing WITH toothpaste, but it’s better than NOT brushing at all.
The real important thing is that I didn’t use that as an excuse to brush LESS with toothpaste; I’m brushing MORE overall, even if the “with toothpaste” is still the same amount.
If you have sensory issues with foam texture, I recommend looking into SLS-free toothpastes, as SLS is the main foaming agent. Some amount of foam is unavoidable, but it is WAY less and way more tolerable. The brand I use (Hello) also has quite a mild flavour if that is a problem for you as well.
Some of their toothpastes don't have floride in them, tho, so be sure to read the ingredients.
I had trouble remembering to brush in the mornings on days I spent those mornings at the computer, but I realized I could brush my teeth before breakfast if that was going to be an issue. It's probably less effective than after, but it's definitely better than not at all!

Now that Micolash is (mostly) done, it's time to integrate him into the racer select screen for today's Bloodborne Kart dev post!
