just saw a tweet where someone was being nasty in the ao3 status twitter accounts replies and so here's your reminder that ao3 is run by volunteers!! while i also make jokes and don't know what to do with myself when ao3 is down, we gotta be mindful about the fact that they don't get paid for running ao3. like at all.

tbh i kinda hate the "lol tumblr users are old and thats why we're in pain" jokes

like. no. you arent old, youre fucking 30, and if youre in constant pain there is something wrong and you may be able to actually DO something about it if you acknowledge it!!!!

like yeah the only medical care a lot of people have access to is worse than useless but instead of pretending its fine and normal we could be sharing resources and figuring shit out!!!

this is super important

I'm a lot older than 30, and my history includes motorcycle accidents, getting shot, tearing tendons, breaking bones, dislocating a shoulder, etc

yet I only feel pain when I do things that I can easily avoid, neglect to do mobility work after hard physical activity, use bad ergonomics, or just do something stupid

if you're relatively young and feeling pain unrelated to a physical injury, talk to someone who's an expert in physiology or physical therapy

if you have good health insurance, get thee to a doctor or a physical therapist who can diagnose what's going on and put you on a treatment or maintenance program

living with unnecessary pain can lead to or mask chronic illness

pain is a warning sign - understand what you're being warned about

i want a game that uses disco elysium’s same insanely well crafted narrative system and wonderful writing…. but it’s about a 6 year old named calvin and his stuffed tiger hobbes

PERCEPTION[SOUND]-The "WAP! WAP! WAP!" of hammer onto nail is consistent. You weild the tool with skill and precision.

HALF LIGHT- Oh, yeah! Destruction incarnate!

MOM- "Calvin!" She yells, dashing to stop you. "What are you doing to the coffee table?!"

YOU- You look at your handiwork. A dozen crooked and bent nails stick out at different angles in the wood. It feels pretty obvious as to what you're doing.

LOGIC[Trivial:Failure]- Is this some kind of trick question, or what?
