people all collectively coming to tumblr to see if ao3 is down for other people too or if it’s just them and their wifi is so poetically nostalgic when you think about it, because in some way, it’s the equivalent of those times in the past when you’re a kid and visiting your grandparents’ home and there’s a blackout and so you just walk outside of the house to see if your neighbors experience the same thing too. the ao3 is just. like. a modern version of that

Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.

you want to be loved and liked for who you are. when you feel like you aren't lovable or likeable, the instinct is to pretend you're someone or something you're not, to be loved and liked. but this is counterproductive. you gotta be and look as much as yourself as you can. than means the people who end up hovering around you and stay are those who like and love you for who you really are. it might be scary, but it's worth it. I promise.

I'm just constantly thinking about a Ghost who, post Roba and post losing everything, finds a bunch of different ways to cope.
His biggest struggle was suicide ideation and self harm.
His therapist always encouraging him to "create, not destroy. To make not break, to be productive not destructive."
Its how he picked up baking, why he got so good at it. Same with cooking
He does pottery every now and then. Many of his dishes and stuff at home are things he made during his recovery years.
He never quite picked up painting but he loves spending time at local art galleries and museums. He can spend hours at those places, just letting his head clear.
We all know he has at least some basic sewing skills (cause of the mask) but I feel like it's even deeper than that. He's out there making quilts and shit.
He likes to knit, and dabbles in crochet when he's feeling particularly restless.
I just feel like he's actually so much better at coping than people give him credit for. I like to think he's fully prepared to completely kiss the military goodbye and be left to his own devices as a civilian. I feel like because he's lost so much he's desperately clinging to that little bit of humanity left in him
He's got the quilt his mum tried to make for Tommy and Beth as their wedding gift. He made throw pillows with Joseph's baby blankets. His decor is all stuff his mum would have liked. He likes having handmade things, it's a testament to his abilities and to his determination to keep surviving.
His house is a home, and its such a safe space. It has soft, warm lighting. The rugs are all handmade by Ghost, and they're soft, cozy. It always smells good, like pastries or a lovely pasta dish.
Its so jarring and unexpected for Soap the first time he ever goes home with Ghost on leave.
But there's something about it that is just so humbling. To see this man in a state of domestic bliss, surrounded by years of hard work to not give in, to keep living another day.
And if that doesn't make Soap want to wife Ghost up right then and there, then I don't know what will

I teach honourable fencing and chivalrous combat.
Yet somehow, I raised a dagger fighting rogue, that can beat swordsmen with her dagger.

horrified today by reading this paper discussing how abstinence-only stipulations in USA programs for preventing AIDS in severely affected countries prevented life-saving interventions such as distribution of condoms
This christofascist agenda has been literally killing people throughout the world

ok look i love astarion with my whole soul and this might be an unpopular opinion but post-brain, i don’t think he’s fashionable. i think he knows how to dress well and likes wearing nice clothes but i really feel like 90% of the time when he’s at home he would just want to be comfortable. i think this man wears dad slippers and owns an ungodly amount of sweaters and comfy loungewear. furthermore i would like to put forward that the person who DOES put together a fucking Look every single day of his life is wyll fucking ravengard. in this essay i will

“I think the point at which the penny dropping as she puts it was when I came to realize that I couldn’t guarantee that weight loss was going to improve health. And I was like, If I’m promoting this as a thing where I’m prescribing weight loss for patients, I’m encouraging people to, like, pick lower calorie options and all this kind of stuff and like—there’s risk to what I’m saying. Like there is with anything in life, but there’s risk to what I’m saying. There’s risk to people’s relationship with food. There’s risk to their body image and how they see themselves. There’s risk with eating disorders. There’s all this risk that I now know about, and I can’t guarantee the benefit that I thought was obvious. So it seemed like a no brainer to me. I was like, If I can’t- like, as doctors we balance risk and benefit all the time. Like if we recommend a certain operation, there’s risk there and there’s always going to be risk there. And we would only recommend it if the benefits outweigh that risk. The same should be with weight loss. Why am I recommending weight loss when I can’t guarantee it’s sustainable, I can’t guarantee it’s going to improve someone’s health, I can’t guarantee that it’s not going to actually worsen their health because there are a whole bunch of risks associated with people attempting different weight loss. So I need to just stop recommending it.”
—Dr. Joshua Wolrich, an NHS surgical doctor (Train Happy podcast episode #28, But What About Weight and Health)
