#"Stay Smart

[jerzwriter]

As I've tried to make clear to my fandom friends in the past - EYES ON THE FUCKING PRIZE.

While people are busy bullshitting, whining, and hating on people in our own fandom and community over fucking headcanons - out in the real world - they're taking your rights away.

"Stay woke" isn't a fucking buzzphrase. It's not a meme - it means staying awake, staying alert, and working to enact change.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I hope y'all doing more than talking shit on the internet - cause chances are you've got longer to live than me, and man, the future isn't looking too good.

Hell of a way to end Pride month. But it's not over...

Real Fact: The only way to be plural is by suffering severe childhood trauma according to the theory of structural dissociation

The theory of structural dissociation is currently the most accepted theory for how DID forms. Children naturally have less integrated personalities, and when someone undergoes severe trauma during childhood, it prevents their personality from fully integrating.

This theory is clearly explained in this Carrd.

As this Carrd says, there is no other way one could possibly be a system according to science.

This theory was created in 2006 by Onno van der Hart, Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis and Kathy Steele in the book The Haunted Self, and has remained the main theory for how traumatic dissociation forms for close to 20 years.

These authors are top experts in their field, and this theory clearly proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only possible way to form dissociative parts of the personality is through trauma.

Any endos who say otherwise are faking and lying. All their so-called sources are outdated or written by themselves or are ableist.

Please, trust the science. Trust the doctors. And trust the Carrd about what those scientists and doctors say.

Anyone who would argue with the doctors who wrote made the Theory of Structural Dissociation are science deniers, no better than flat-earthers or anti-vaxxers.

Now that you've been properly informed, please reblog and share this accurate and true information so you can inform others.

And don't bother clicking underneath the cut. There's nothing important there.

Oh, you're still here?

I thought I told you to leave?

Go on. Get.

There's nothing to see here!

Oh... That.

What's that doing here?

Yeah, don't worry about that. That's just some article written by pro-endos to make it look like you can form dissociative parts of the personality without trauma.

Don't trust the pro-endos and their sources!

Oh... You saw that too, didn't you?

That the source for that happens to be the same exact people I told you to trust earlier.

Fine. Let's deal with that.

First, this says "may." That means that it isn't definitely true. And by rearranging those words, you'll realize that means it definitely isn't true according to the theory of structural dissociation.

Trust me when I say that this still supports us and that these doctors are on our side.

Second...

Endos are stupid

There. I said it.

Endos are what I call half-thinkers.

Endos will try to tell you that if someone is a valid source in one context then they need to be a valid source in all contexts to be consistent. That if you're using the theory of structural dissociation as evidence that the only way to have multiple dissociative parts with their own consciousness is through trauma or a disorder, you should acknowledge that the creators of that theory have entertained other possibilities.

But you who are reading this are smarter than any of those half-thinking endos. You're 4 times as smart as these half-thinkers. You can think double what any endo can at least. That makes you, at minimum, a double-thinker.

And as intelligent and critical double thinkers, you can understand how important context is.

In the first context, the Carrd that referenced the theory by Onno van der Hart and Ellert R. S. Nijenhuis is supporting True Science.

In the second, their actual words from their paper are going against True Science. They're stating something may exist that we know is scientifically impossible. Something we know is scientifically impossible because of what we've heard other people say about the Theory of Structural Dissociation. And that proves the creators of the theory of structural dissociation wrong!

So don't let endos use quotes like this to brainwash you. Remember that you are an intelligent and critical double thinker.

Stay smart and hold firm in your beliefs and values, and never stop double thinking!

At times the world can feel like a hostile place, especially with the war raging on. But even before the Church started to crumble to infighting and society itself seemed on the verge of collapse, you would always hear tales of the dangers in the wild. Of Barbed Ogres and ravenous shrews. There seems to be no end to the monsters out there, on top of the deadly nature of even the environment itself. If you were to indulge in all these stories, then you would be terrified to even set foot outside of your home! But one should remember that stories are, indeed, stories, and things are not always as horrifying as it sounds. Despite the wilds being a place where travelers can go missing or where outer villages deal with monster attacks, people still live out there. Trade routes are still open, people build homes and raise families. If it were truly an inhospitable place, then why does so much life occur out there?

While there is indeed hostile wildlife roaming the lands, not all beasts are foul. Even ones known for their great power and deadliness pose little actual threat if one respects them. Do not forget that stories tend to focus on the negative, and the spectacle of these horrible moments often overshadow the dozens, if not hundreds, of interactions that end just fine. Tales are also not written about animals that are perfectly harmless, so these too are often forgotten. If one wants a prime example of the good that can be found in this world, you don't need to look far to see the ever loyal hyaena.

Hyaenas are well known by all on this landmass, as they are a common sight both in the wilds and at home. Who could forget their wonderful patterns, charming cackles and iconic grin? These beasts have long been domesticated by man, and one would have a hard time imagining a world without hyaenas as companions. They are beloved for their playful nature and loyalty, as this species is a very social one. In the wild, they live in clans, and thus are used to interactions, hierarchies and cooperation. Hyaenas are popular as hunting partners, guards, trackers and especially as pets. Due to the sheer variety of jobs they can take, numerous breeds have been developed over the years. Regal hyaenas are known for their long coats and even more dazzling manes (a popular choice for the wealthy and nobles), while Termite Tracker hyaenas have sturdier claws and longer tongues that go with their use of locating colonies. The Common hyaena is obviously the most common, but even as "average" there is a reason this species has been taken in by man.

Hyaenas have potent senses, with a great nose for following scent trails or locating wounded prey. They have incredible stamina, which lets them chase down food and travel for hours without need for rest. Their jaws are powerful and their fused teeth work with these muscles to sever limbs and crack bone. Coming from a life of hunting and scavenging, they are capable of eating nearly any kind of meat, no matter its state. Leftovers from a butchered carcass will be gobbled up without a complaint, which is why these work good as pets for even lower classes. They require no fancy diet and can eat any scraps. While meat is a favorite, they are omnivorous and are capable of dining on plant matter as well. Some breeds even have switched to a more vegetarian diet, no doubt derived from the hyaena species that feed upon fruits and forage from trees.

As mentioned before, wild hyaenas have the potential to be a problem if they are not respected. Some folk may get the impression that any hyaena species is friendly, and then get too close for comfort. For healthy people traveling through the wilds, they should have nothing to fear as long as they stay smart. However, the wounded and sick may draw the attention of a hungry clan, as their diets rely on carcasses and beasts close to death. Harassing these animals no doubt earns their ire, and folks who hunt them for fur and meat will be remembered as foes by the survivors. Sickness can drive some hyaenas into a more aggressive state, and they lash out at anything near them. And with the war going on and fields of bodies being left behind, it should be no surprise that some clans are getting more habituated with eating man. But once again, a lot of trouble can be avoided if one sticks to groups, makes smart decisions and does not act like prey.

"Hyaena"

In another stroke of genius, I swapped out all the wolves/dogs with hyenas! Utterly brilliant and legally distinct! And they are called hyaenas, even though I have regular shrews! And oliphants despite calling vultures just plain vultures! Why?...I don't know...

[sk-lumen]

I want to send nudes to a guy I’m talking to is it true though that they share with their boys? He’s sent nudes but ones that disappears after being sent. I don’t see a problem if I’m not putting my face in them…?

Absolutely not.

Ladies, the answer to this is always NO. Under no circumstances should you do any of this. Doesn't matter if the face isn't in the photos. Please have some common sense and self-respect, and avoid such things.

Why: you can never 100% trust someone that they won't do something shady and compromise your privacy, your public image, reputation, possibly even your entire career and life path years down the line. Because yes, that's (still) the reality of today's age when it comes to women. Remember the Jennifer Lawrence stunt?

Trust no one, never take such photos, stay smart, and focus on your career, not hormonal boys that just want another addition to bookmark into their photo collection that they'll snicker and gloat over with their group of friends (and not only).

PS: Yes, assume that they do always share. And also assume that anything you put online has the potential to be permanently stored on the internet and distributed.

Stay safe darlings.

careful when finding places to donate to appalachia. unfortunately we are the buckle of the bible bent and overrun with evangelicals — these evangelical churches or orgs sometimes do not distribute those donations or otherwise use them for their agenda. THIS SHOULD NOT STOP YOU FROM DONATING FOR HURRICANE RELIEF. my other post (linked) has ways to help beyond religious-led efforts. thank you, stay smart, and stay safe.

[flyboy254cnchtv-blog]

So, I've been processing things over the past few days. I thought I knew my country, but I didn't. If anything, it proved me so wrong that I've been waking up nauseous, puking, forcing myself not to sob. I'm not one of the people most in danger, but the people I care about are. So I'm gonna go stream of consciousness, and please forgive me but I need to get this off my chest somewhere. For the love of all that's sacred, don't leave us. If you need to keep yourself or your loved ones safe, do it, do not feel like that's wrong. But you are needed. You are valued. You should not let those monsters in human flesh tell you your worth. I served in the Marine Corps, and in the service I learned. I learned about "the talk" every black family in America has to give their children for when they will, will, be stopped by a cop. I learned that so much of our military is made up of the children of those who came here searching for a better life. I learned that so many of my comrades are gay, lesbian, bi, and were better Marines that I could have ever hoped to be.

This freed me from the shell I'd been raised in. Whatever lies my Irish-Catholic parents tried to feed me didn't scan any longer. The only thing I learned to take from them is that immigrants, all immigrants, deserve to exist.

I will not call myself an ally, attempting to apply that appellation to oneself feels vapid and self-absolving. I will not get everything right, because I still have to learn a lot. But I know that for now, I will wake up, shake my boots off, and do what I can. Because my friends, my family, will need me to be as strong as I can.

This will not be easy. There will be moments where we will all ask if we can even go on. We can't lie to ourselves that somehow it will all work out. We need to get together, plan, and organize where and how we can. Our foes believe we are weak. Their mistake is that this is what they think of compassion, of morality, of simple decency.

You are valued. You are here. I want to see a world where you are able to be free, happy, and safe, no matter who you are. I posted earlier the quote from Bobby Sands. "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children." I do believe that. Because the woman I love says I'm the one she wants to bring up children with, and the only way that happens is if we cast down the false idol they have raised.

I still believe in the ideals in the Declaration of Independence. That the Constitution is a living document made to be changed, to be amended so that it can adapt to the times. I swore an oath, and I'm too damn stubborn to just accept that these terrors will persist. I'm not a leader, but I know how to follow orders. Point me in the right direction, and I'll do what I can.

Whoever reads this, you are not alone. You will never be anything less than human. The fact that your very existence, your happiness, fills them with such a rage is what I want to help you keep alive. If you're a person of color, if you're LGBT+, if you're a woman, know that there are still enough of us out there who want to help. Who want to know how. We got decked last Tuesday, but one slug to the jaw doesn't end the fight. This isn't Frasier vs Ali. This is Rocky vs Creed, and we're going all twelve. It'll be easier, and worth it, if we all go along together.

They think we're out, but already there are organizations, movements, local communities rebuilding and prepping. They are proud, and they have ripped their mask off now and brag of the evils they will inflict. We will use their words against them, and we will know that those who supported them have nowhere to hide. They wanted this, and they're going to get it. We need to be ready to get back to work after, whatever may come.

I hope you forgive me for what must seem like a ramble. I hope that you stick around, too. This fight is not, and will never be over until the last trace of their hate and propaganda is wiped from the face of the earth. Stay smart, stay resilient, and stay human. We will survive, and we will hear the laughter of the children before we know it.

Shit post time, my favorite.

I am, for some twisted reason, motivated by spite and utter rage. I am probably the most toxic person in that sense since I am absolutely hell bent on proving some bloody point, surpassing expectations, and looking down on my pedal-stool seeing all those who said I couldn't.

This means, I like a challenge. I like a push. I like to see just how much I can do, how much I can accomplish.

Now I could have used this super power for school, or to better myself and blah blah blah. But my, sweet, god blessed, dumbass, uses it for anorexia.

I want to see how bad I can get. I need to, really. I enjoy standing up and feeling the wave of dizziness as my vision blurs, and how I see a swirl of colors before me until my body regulates. I love the way I can feel my skin drapped over my ribs when I stretch, the way I can feel my bikini bridge when I wear shorts or certain jeans. I crave the fucking self-destruction masked as self control and discipline as I melt away into the world, one less pound at a time as I shed and shed.

I'm excited to weigh myself now, I am thrilled, I go to bed as early as I can just to wake up sooner and step on the bloody scale. Not eating has just become so fucking easy and in all my anorexia career of losing nearly 50 pounds I have never felt so fucking happy then right now. This is bliss, this is honesty so fucking freeing, I don't crave cholesterol filled fatty sweets or yearn for a chance to eat Ice cream and cake. I've finally reached a stage in my anorexia that I am no longer tempted by food, I don't fight against it, I am satisfied with my almonds and slices of apple in a way I've never felt before.

And I can't stop, I won't stop. I'm on a winning streak now fuckers! Ha, me and Ana against every single miserable twat who made my life hell beacuse I was overweight. They can look right between my thighgap and kiss my soon to be nonexistent ass. Ugh, God, this is sweeter than revenge, this is better than karma - beacuse this is me, and God it feels so good to be me right now, and that is something they can never take away again.

(I've lost nine pounds this month, very proud!! Haha, sorry for the rant. Just ahh, I'm so excited like what the flip !!)
