Self care is watching a video about how the chess community crashed out that one time and accused a man of cheating via anal beats.

"Hellen Keller is not real" is a right wing propaganda. It's literally something that was pushed by eugenistic tiktokers two years ago at least because they don't believe disabled people like Hellen Keller can do anything for themselves.

some teeth brushing tips/facts that have helped me improve my teeth brushing habits:

it doesn't matter what time of day you brush your teeth! just aim to brush them twice a day!

start with a cheap waterpik if you can't get into flossing right away. it helps you get used to the feeling! (my waterpik is from five below)

you should care for your teeth in this order: floss, mouth wash, brush teeth, tongue scrape.

when brushing, make sure to gently brush your gums and the roof of your mouth :)

use a soft bristle tooth brush!

use apps to help you! for the longest time i used pokemon smile to help me get back into brushing my teeth.

alternatively, use a physical tracking method! after i had an intense dental surgery i knew i needed to take better care of my teeth. i decorated a giant poster and put rewards on the side of it, whenever i finished a row (or two!) i would choose a reward! every time i brushed my teeth i would put a smiley face sticker.

you don't have to stay stationary the whole time while brushing your teeth! i am constantly walking around the house while brushing.

i, personally, do not trust teeth whitening products.

use a physical timer!!!!! i found mine at primark for a dollar but i have also seen them at the dollar store/online! it helps me SO MUCH to physically see how much time i have left to brush my teeth!

the dentist TERRIFIES ME. i will admit, i am terrible at going and i know it's really expensive. but PLEASE prioritize going to the dentist if your teeth get really bad. your mouth health affects so much of your life.

lastly, the thing that helped me the MOST: i always pee before i go to bed. i started to say to myself, 'well if i'm already here, why don't i just brush my teeth?' it has helped me start a whole night routine simply because i am ALREADY in the bathroom.

Painter Alex Schaefer paints banks on fire using a “plein air” technique. Plein Air is the act of painting outdoors in the open air, and in Alex’s case, he paints directly across the banks.

i think there should be a global holiday celebrating the life and accomplishments of Louis Pasteur. The man proved germ theory, developed techniques to make milk and wine safer to drink, and discovered the vaccine that has made rabies -- fucking *rabies* -- a thing of the past in much of the world , and hopefully the rest of the world sooner rather than later. tjere should be parades for this man for the rabies vaccine alone

Outlining and working on the shape of the story is part of writing. Remember you are allowed to say you're writing when you're working on the shape of the story and making notes.

I hope after what happened with s8 and other shows fans would be more considerate and realize WHY stories often take a long time.

I just wanna say that seeing you roast and reblog other people roasting Bride of Discord has been delightful

I will say this: it's impressive that author created a whole audio drama and some of the covers I enjoy. It's bad in an unintended way.

Do you have any Precure character that is your favorite?

I love Cure Scarlet for her musical leimotifs and story arc, and I tend to l Iean towards character with a mythical Phoenix theme. I even based parts my hazbin oc Evan on Cure Scarlet.

If i wasnt already apathetic to optimus x blackarachnia I'm definitely not a fan of it now because of what happened last night. And its sad because I'm aware of the show's flaws and I dont to want to add to the misogyny but looking back it she was just a poor character all around and i don't know what people ever saw in her besides being hot.

And it's got Latvia its first ever oscar. Flow deserves to be recognized for so much more rather than as a dig on The Mouse.

I don’t think people realize how massive this is.

A movie made in Blender just won an Oscar.

This is a game changer.

Not only can an indie film win an Oscar, it can win it with free software.

It’s scary when you realize just how many men RELISH in fantasies where they get to kill people for so called justified reasons… men who stockpile guns in the hopes that their elaborate home intrusion fantasy will come true and they’ll get to shoot the intruder epic video game style. Men who stockpile a militia’s worth of guns in their basement because they drip precum thinking about the day when they will have to fight the evil government outside their door and they get to water the tree of liberty. So many boring ass dudes secretly want to live out the plot of John wick and kill hordes of people in the name of self defense/defending their family and their honor… not actually to protect anyone but just because killing seems awesome and guns give them a boner
