Hey! I’m working on a comic AND an infographic about RSD.

❓What are some things you wish your loved ones / family knew about RSD? What do you wish they would do?❓

(RSD = Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, an inofficial term for the fear and deep emotional outbursts we experience when people make remarks or negative comments about us.

It can also just be behaviors or the lack of response. It can be part of emotional dysregulation in ADHD, but isn’t it’s own diagnosable term.

Examples that can trigger RSD: “why don’t you just do it?” “Ah it’s just Pina, don’t listen to her” )

the past few days have been a shitass blur but this is def that stuck out for me on friday. Like I’ve lost who i was the past year or so, and now just a anxiety husk rug that if someone spills soup on me that I be saying sorry. I use to draw all the time. Now I rarely draw. I use to talk to so many of you. Now I dont

I’m always tired all the time, and my mental health took a huge beating the past few years. Hopefully i can  find myself again

Magical.

👌👌 👌 👏 👏

lmaooo

For the record, the guy actually invented this with the intent of it being used to crack down on human trafficking. Traffickers often cover their victims in heavy/unusual makeup before posting pics of them online, to make them harder to detect using normal software.

So basically this is a case of really shitty reporting. The article could have been about an app used to rescue victims of trafficking but they decided to flippantly make it about make-up

"The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

I have always been partial to stories which feature the removal of many layers of clothing as an important plot element. One of my favorite Scandinavian folktales is about a queen who, through some magical conception mishap, gives birth to twins. The younger twin is beautiful and normal in every way, but the older twin is just. Y’know. A big horrible snake with arms.

When the younger twin grows up and wants to get married, the lindworm returns and insists that he, as the elder prince, must be married first. When a massive horrible snake with arms lays down the law like that there isn’t really any room for disagreement, but it turns out to be awfully hard to find a bride willing to marry him. The king and queen search far and wide for a woman who will take a husband who is 50 feet long, doesn’t have legs, and may or may not eat his would-be wives when they are appalled by him, but eventually they find a local shepherd’s daughter who is either coerced, a monsterfucker, or just very open-minded and agrees to marry the lindworm.

Depending on the version, the bride either seeks out the advice of a witch or comes up with the idea all by herself, and goes to the bedchamber on her wedding night dressed in many layers of dresses. Her big horrible snake with arms husband is waiting for her and bids her to disrobe, but she asks him to shed a skin as well. Her sexy Russian nesting doll cosplay has so many layers that by the time she is naked, he has shed all of his skins and is 1.) either a sexy naked human dude underneath or 2.) is this meaty blob of helpless worm meat that must be whipped and bathed in chemicals before he transforms into a sexy naked human dude. Either way, they presumably live happily ever after and the younger prince can finally get married.

I’d like to know how the elder prince adjusted to having a human body. He was born a lindworm and lived his entire life slithering around—he’s never worn pants! He’s never had to sit on a toilet! What’s he gonna do now that he’s a sexy 20-something heir to the throne? Is it a shock for him when he looks down and he’s just got one sexual organ? His butt is in the back now, he’s got to shave, he’s got to eat with a fork and a knife and chew his food instead of unhinging his jaw and swallowing it whole.... is it weird for him? Is his honeymoon spent learning to walk on two legs? Is his instinct to crawl out of bed and drag himself across the floor by his arms? Does he roll onto his back and play dead when he gets scared? Does he wrap his torso around his lunch and attempt to constrict it? Is his wife... into this?

people really need to be more critical of their ideas of humor, all so fucking irony poisoned that we laugh at elderly people grieving the death of loved ones cuz they used the wrong emoji, laughing at photos of homophobic beatings cuz someone wrote “my alarm” next to the attackers and “me” next to the victim, laughing at sexual jokes captioned over images of small children making funny faces

we all talk about how bizarre internet humor is and like, when were laughing at some runescape elf with an audio clip of the halo announcer saying “slayer” that shits funny and bizarre, but some of this shit is real fucking people and you cant get so disengaged with reality that you stop considering that

you need to honestly examine how you engage with this stuff
