accurate internal monologue each time Ice has to drag Mav out of trouble

Hey, Big Al, why do all the people in my life with ADHD have such a weird sense of humor?
Oh, that's 'cause we're all super understimulated.
What does that even mean?
Imagine that the inside of your brain had an itch that you really couldn't scratch, but that itch was actually boredom, but that boredom was actually pain.
Oh, I see, yeah, that- that helps me none, zero at all. It also sounds pretty terrifying.
No, it- it's really not a big deal, you just kinda have to learn to restructure your life around it, including comedy.
Okay, so how does it affect the way that you interpret comedy?
So a side effect of understimulation is that your brain is constantly and more often than others' active. You're always thinking, you're always analyzing, you're always trying to problem solve. Because of exactly that, normal comedy and normal humor is a bit predictive, and doesn't really land with people with ADHD.
So what does land with people with ADHD?
Stark, abrupt chaos. Because it cannot be predicted, nor calculated.
Okay, so what would that even look like?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Okay, why?
The Fitnessgram Pacer Test is-
That landed for me
Stop reading my mind!
DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one
#okay so november rain by guns n roses#verse 3 ends with ''i know that you can love me when theres no one left to blame''#for YEARS i thought it was ''i know that you cant love me when theres no one left to blame''#and as someone who tends to ship couples who are Dysfunctional™#that lyric hit so hard#but oops i just cant process words#tbf the songs a fucking masterpiece anyway but you know
i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times
Gotta recirculate this post periodically just cuz
Just don't read the post too many times.
Oh god oh fuck
#i have this really cool idea for a drawing#that im 100% gonna draw#BUT#i also got a little distracted with a small detail on it#and then i got fucking covid#so its been delayed#and my brain is now like is it that cool though?#and i have to fight it like no its really fucking cool and im so excited to draw it!
i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like
"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital
This is another use for these charts, if anyone was wondering.
I’m just gonna run full blast to the other side of the room. You’re good tho — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3DW2dnE

#its kinda tangential#but kyle hill on youtube has a video called the worst software error ever or something like that#which is about radiotherapy and a machine that was not safe and led to several deaths#and its an interesting watch in terms of the history of safety regulations#and for the use of things like x rays or radiotherapy in medical settings
I love song fan theories that put the whole song into a new context. The kind that don't really contradict anything in the song, but just offer an interpretation of what the song is actually about. Like "The Piano Man is about a beautiful himbo musician who has no idea he's been playing in a gay bar, and got hired as much for eye candy as for the music", and "the whole song Jolene is just a really long and intense 3 AM voicemail, and Jolene does not even want her man." Can't get enough of those.
Btw your curiosity about my body isn’t more important than my own safety, privacy, or dignity. You do not “have to know” why I use a mobility aid. You do not have to touch me or my stuff because you think it “looks cool”. You don’t have to ask me personal questions because you’re “just curious”. I don’t care if you think I look weird or if your kid has never seen someone like me before. I don’t care if you were “just trying to help” or if you “didn’t mean any harm”. My disabilty is not your excuse. I’m not your “get out of jail free” card. If I don’t invite you to touch me or to film me or to ask me questions, then nothing that you can ever come up with is a good enough reason to do those things. Stop prioritizing your curiosity over our privacy and safety.
"people on this website cant even ask for ketchup at a resturant" "'is this satire' what do you think lmfao" "musical theatre fans are such losers" "tone indicators are always useless and ableist" "people with adhd are so annoying" "go outside and have sex instead of reblogging posts about cartoon characters" "lmao look at this teenager using a microlabel on the internet" etc. Literally people didn't change their behavior at all after the whole "end cringe culture" discussion in 2019 they just stopped using the word cringe and kept all the ableism and homophobia/transphobia of cringe culture. like Did you get your notes for just straight up Doing Cringe Culture on ur blog? did ur mutuals laugh? should we invite kyle gordon?
Anonymous asked:
could you please explain how the safeword traffic system works?? i really cant wrap my head around it
Sure.
Red means stop. No more negotiation, something has crossed a line (too painful, something bad that wasn’t negotiated, etc.)
Yellow means that you need a break or that something is too much, or that if the top continues then you’re going to “red” soon.
Green means that things are going well and you want to continue if not ramp it up a little.
While a bottom might blurt out red or yellow, I’ve never seen a bottom volunteer “green”. It’s usually said in answer to when a top is checking in to make sure everything is okay. Asking “How are you?” and getting an answer of “fine” or “okay” might mean the bottom is just on autopilot and reflexively answering. Asking “What’s your color?” and getting “green” or “I was very close to yellow when you stopped” is much better.
One of my favorite doms to watch at parties was doing a pre-scene negotiation with someone he hadn’t played with before and said something like “Now, just between you and me here ;-) , my favorite color is yellow. It’s not about taking anything I can dish out. I promise you, I can always go harder. I want to know how you’re doing. I’ll likely yellow you, on purpose, a few times, just to find out where your limits are and then aim for a little below that. I don’t want to hear ‘green green green, green green red’ because then the scene’s over. I want some indication of how you’re doing and when you’re getting close to what you can handle, okay?”
And then, whenever she yellowed, he praised her. And why wouldn’t he?? She gave him vital information that allowed the both of them to have more fun!
Recently I have heard some discussions on also adding BLUE to this system for medical issues. It would function like RED but also in one word alert your partner you are having a medical issue, e.g. asthma attack, body cramps, low blood sugar, dizziness or some other sysmtom that is a problem for you. If you have already discussed medical issue with you partner, which you should do, blue might key them into something they can respond to with that knowledge to help rather than red and having to explain further.
Example: if I have asthma and communicate with my partner that it’s been bothing me recently and here is where my inhaler will be during a scene and I start having breathing issues and can’t stop coughing or catch my breathe to make out long or multiple words, I can say blue and they would know to get my inhaler. Or they would know to ask medical related questions in relation to stopping rather than thinking they pushed too hard.
I hadnt heard of the BLUE addition, but that’s great. Thanks for spreading the word about it.
i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.
the thing about the RWRB movie is that I was prepared for a lot of the ways it was bad but I wasn't prepared for the most glaring problem, which is that it seems to have been made on a budget of 13 dollars
one thing I do have to say is that this movie makes a lot of the editing and cinematography in Dear Evan Hansen look really subtle and underrated, comparatively
I know it's not uncommon for supporting characters to be dropped/combined in adaptation but between this movie's WEIRD reliance on glaringly obvious CGI backgrounds and reluctance to show large crowds - the royal wedding that kicks of the plot seems sparse, and the crowd of thousands that allegedly turn up to protest outside Buckingham Palace are only glimpsed as reflections in a window - it really seems like maybe they just didn't have the budget for Alex's sister or Henry's mother to be in this movie
Henry's siblings get whittled down to almost nothing as well, which is a shame because I actually very charmed by his sister's slightly weary worldliness and steadfast sobriety. she was a sweet character and a distinct one, who gets simplified in the movie to a sort of Pinterest moodboard idea of English femininity.
Nina also gets flattened pretty abominably from a brilliant and slightly infuriating stats nerd into Alex's vaguely sassy Black best friend; the movie seems to have forgotten that she was Jewish and bisexual and ironically erases both.
if I had to guess I'd say the lion's share of this movies budget went to paying Stephen Fry and Uma Thurman and the horses from that polo scene; everyone else was on their own after that
the climactic scene of Henry's mom coming out of her depression fugue to yell his awful grandma the queen is replaced with the king, played by Stephen Fry, kind of mumbling about tradition and pronouncing "homosexual" funny before the alleged protestors show up and he immediately gives up and succumbs to the will of the people. the British monarchy is, of course, well known for treating protestors well, and also for accepting the biracial American partners of younger princes with minimal nudging.
Alex's parents don't seem to be divorced in the movie, which is just a bizarrely unnecessary change to make. divorcephobic, dare I say.
its amazing how faithfully the movie managed to translate a particular writing tick of Casey McQuiston's, which is that it seems like they would genuinely rather shoot themself than describe what's actually happening with the dick, balls, or hole during any sex scene.
Alex is played by an actor who's in his early thirties and looks it, which makes his teenage-level ignorance of how anything works much more grating. the movie introduces a gay reporter who could not more obviously be a scheming asshole, but Alex repeatedly talks to him alone and seems shocked that there are repercussions. his behavior throughout the movie is more consistent with a teen who was just thrust into the political spotlight yesterday, not an adult man who's been living in the White House for a full presidential term.
Alex being so visibly an Adult adult also brings a weird vibe to his relationship with his mom's assistant, played by Sarah Shahi as a very charismatic hardass; they look like peers and frankly their relationship sometimes comes across like she wants to spit in his mouth. like it's very will they won't they sitcom freewheeling zany man uptight bossy woman, you know? and that's not an interesting dynamic but dear god is it the wrong movie for it.

what a beautiful day to not be in high school
When it happens
When it gets resolved
guy who sees a banana peel and says “my ride is here” and then slips away on it
*slips into something more comfortable*
elon musk is literally like a parody. like he cant genuinely fucking be like this like bro is on some satirical depiction of a spoiled rich kid type shit. like hes a cartoon evil rich guy. throwing tantrums bc someone criticized him or said they didnt like him. spending billions of dollars to buy an app and then changing the app every time someone uses a feature of the app to insult him or hurt his feefees. dude straight up does the cartoon steam blowing out of ears train whistle shit irl every time someone says anything mean to him or is transgender but whats terrifying is he has enough money to do anything he wants and millions of chuds who would gladly no homo suck his cock every night before he goes to bed. like. how has someone come to be like this. why has this been allowed to happen why was he created
i think most rich guys are actually more like elon than they aren't, they all have simpering fanclubs online but enough haters to keep them up at night. i've seen a good half-dozen "richest man in X country" instagram accounts litigating their personal beef with some obscure shitposter who won't stop trolling them. they run the world but everyone doesn't love them so they're not happy
this is the richest guy in africa and his mortal enemy, a bored brazilian man
It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.
No seriously it's REALLY fucked up when you treat characters as if they were real live people while you treat people like they're just characters.
Seeing this getting reblogged by people who think this is about RPF: no, my children. No. RPF is not fucked up; sending your stories to the people you're writing fic about isn't great, but there is no moral failing in thinking that two people look sexy together. There's no moral failing in writing a story, or making art, about how they might look sexy together. (Or if it is, it's one that the frickin' frackin' Bronte sisters were indulging in, and their stuff is on display at the British Library.)
No, what's fucked up is treating a person — someone you're interacting with online, say — as though they're a character who exists merely for you to say something unkind to. It's treating them like they are not people just the same as you are. (And maybe it's a little bit about treating yourself as a character — the main character, in your ongoing play about yourself.)
If we're going to be kinder to each other, let's at least address where the real unkindness comes from.
