Have you ever noticed a show or movie or comic where the villain is someone who’s challenging the existing power structure or something and it’s like “oh maybe they have a point?” but then the villain does something incredibly morally abhorrent like kill their own troops or something and the story is like “they let their lust for revenge take over” and so now it’s okay for the hero to oppose them and, in the process, uphold the preexisting flawed system?

I call it “pulling an MCU Villain”

i stared at this post for a long, long time

To prevent from being stung & bitten, dolphins have taught themselves to use sea sponges as masks while poking along the ocean floor for food. 

Dolphins are literally asmart enough to recognize the importance of wearing protective masks you have no fucking excuse

you hear about recovery not being linear (”there are ups and downs”), but actually it’s more like a game of wack-a-mole. this is not a bad thing

to extend the metaphor: when you’re at the beginning of your recover (less kindly known as rock bottom), you have a garden full of moles. you have a mole popping up every 5 seconds, and maybe it’s the same hyperactive mole, maybe it’s a bunch of moles taking turns, but whether they all look the same, you have a garden full of the fuzzy bastards. 

so you pick up a mallet and start hitting. maybe you’re bad at using the mallet, maybe you get better over time, but after a while you get tired, bc you’ve been at it for ages and a mole is still popping up every 5, 10 seconds. what you don’t realize is, you’ve actually nerfed a lot of the moles. it’s just now there’s more space for the other ones to come to the surface and start making noise. but if you keep. swinging. the mallet. eventually they’re gonna slow down. 

My recovery began when I started treating my depression & moved away from an abusive environment. It took a long time for me to realize I was recovering, bc as soon as one thing improved, another popped up. As my depression improved, I became more alert and active–and discovered that my brain fog & self-isolation had inadvertently been covering up my sensory issues. I had enough energy to start school again–and bc I wasn’t sleeping & lounging all day, I was suddenly aware of my concentration issues. One mole bites the dust, another pops up. 

but the secret is: there are a finite number of moles in the universe. 

4 years I’ve been wacking away at these fuckers with a mallet. I’ve taken turns wacking depression and its cronies suicidal ideation & self-harm, followed in succession by previous dormant crap related to anxiety, adhd, spd, c-ptsd, and other 👎 acronyms. And behold: progress. (Atm i’ve finally convinced the furry piece of shit called Executive Dysfunction to come out of the ground, which is exciting bc wrangling this bastard means finally getting to work on longterm personal projects again.)  Moles still pop up from time to time, but my life has a lot more space for me in it

the moral of this story is: if u hit a mole over the head for long and hard enough eventually it learns to mind its own beeswax. KEEP WACKING

KEEP WHACKING💖💖💖

2020 Grimoire Challenge—day 3: planning 

Okay, I’ll admit, I basically worked on this for more than a week nonstop. I, uh, really like planning, guys. I pretty much intend my grimoire’s creation to be a years-long, if not lifetime endeavor. 

I intend the first picture to be the table of contents for the whole book, with each section having its own table of contents to suit the contents therein.

@grimoirechallenge2020

So comprehensive! I love it!

some animals should be bigger

Like which animals do you think should be bigger?

I want a spider I can carry around like a chihuahua

so you want the goliath bird eater tarantula then?

My friend from Lebanon wrote up a really good thread on Twitter I thought I should share here, just to clear up some of the inaccuracies floating around:

phone predictive texts have started including emojis and i don’t like it, but as a neurodivergent person i can see how these suggestions might be helpful for people who have trouble conveying tone over text

i am however still feral over the fact i can’t text an innocent little :) without it auto-translating into an abhorrent yellow faced fuck

:) and 🙂 have VERY different energy. :) is a happy friendly pal while 🙂 is this horribly bright and kinda passive agressive, it’s got the energy of ‘oh. ok then. if that’s how it is.’

conservatives really tried to get away with that “being gay is unnatural” bullshittery huh

bruh, 90% of giraffe sex is gay, ostriches are more attracted to humans than other ostriches, tiny frogs make homes in elephant dung, 50% of orangutans have fractured bones from falling off so many damn trees, and most animals can be hypnotized. nature is the most unnatural thing ever and being queer is very run-of-the-mill compared to the nonsense most species get up to. learn to deal, bigot

its time to get into the food industry

see this sounds wholesome but I do fear that you will try to poison us

This is like one of those art house horror movies with symbolism I don’t understand except I understand what this is trying to convey perfectly holy crap

why are birds so cursed

A Non-Comprehensive List of Birds That Piss Me Off

1. Dracula Parrot. This thing pisses me off like, a bunch

2. King Vulture. the felted craft project equivalent of a haunted ventriloquist dummy

i will never not resent this bird 

 3. Jacana Bird. This is the most unnecessary cursed nonsense. i deserve an apology for having to look at this. I can feel its fingers stroking my ears

No it does not have SIX FREAKING LIMBS. it’s carrying its stupid creepy spawn under its wings. A+ parents but still, piss off. even the normal 2 legged version isn’t much better

put those AWAY.

4. The Shoebill, which i’m sure we’re all sick of hearing about. this thing is the epitome of a crappy photorealistic cgi disney villainy. i despise this bird.

also this is what they look like standing up. i just feel like i shouldn’t have to deal with that, i really do.

5. Inca Tern. truly, hipsters ruin everything

6. Tragopan. it looks like a star wars species, which i dislike on principle 

7. The Secretary Bird. it wears yoga pants.

also i’m uncomfortable with the length of its eyelashes

8. finally, i really dislike this one specific parakeet

in conclusion, these birds exist to haunt me and this knowledge is a burden. birds exist to observe our sin; always watching, they are filled with malice. flee from them

Birds are amazing and i love every animal in this post

I’m surprised @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses didn’t use a photo of a shoebill yawning…

big deal, i can do that too

send me the original artist, please.
