#HORRIFYING.

the best cure i've found for impostor syndrome is identifying the most incompetent person currently doing the thing you want to be doing. that is the bar. as long as you can do better than that person you deserve to be in the space.

I refuse to accept that Alicent was the one who named Aegon. I refuse to accept that she would have chosen such a name tainted in bloodshed and horror for her baby boy.

// attention conservation notice: this post is more inane than usual

I'm at the age my declining memory intersects the ever growing curve of people I'm acquainted with. like I met a person last night I thought I knew from online but they said "but we also met irl six years ago through Douglas and Yesenia" (not the real names)

and I said, shattered, "oh yeah, Douglas and Yesenia" and had to move on with the conversation normally while warding off the cascade of memories of a whole ass D&D social group I'd hung out with while new to Seattle & employed at a Facebook & struggling to figure out my social life. almost none of the group worked at Facebook, but I and this other guy would let them in after work so they could play D&D from like 6-9pm in a conference room

I never played so I can't tell you what tf I was doing with them (clearly one of my social exploration dead ends), but I do remember I somehow became integrated enough that I went to the couple's moving-to-the-Bay housecooling party & put them in touch with my Bay D&D contacts because I could tell, even as a non-player, that Douglas was a great DM

anyway the uncommon-in-combination names unlocked the memories, but if more time had passed or the names had been more common or if the person had said just "Douglas" I wouldn't have remembered, you know? That's freaky!

and it's just an early taste of loss, too

Okay from the first 10 EverymanHybrid videos I’ve watched plus some searches, Evan looks like a combination of two of the dudes I’ve had relationships with and it’s TERRIFYING

Short haired Evan looks like this dude named Jon, and longer greasier haired Evan (ESPECIALLY WITH THE CAP) looks like a guy named Keegan

Again. Horrifying.

AND HE ACTS LIKE JON TO THE T.

HORRIFYING.

Please someone tell me he looks like someone you know

read the tradwife interview and it's crazy how so many things the husband is doing (his complete control over the interview, correcting her when he doesn't agree w her responses by appearing to only sidestep a little while reframing the answer entirely in actuality, telling her what to say, taking the lead in any questions about her agency or her wants) are interchangeable w armand in s2 dubai

hi! Average USamerican has to take on massive debt over and over all throughout life just to survive day-by-day, because the companies that control our vital resources are both allowed and incentivized to raise prices indiscriminately! For you see, we live in a dystopian nightmare country. Send help.

FOR REAL. i also live in a dystopian nightmare country but in a different way, so sometimes i learn shit about the usa (usually relating to money and finances) that makes me go 😨😨😨 what the fuck. stay strong 🫡❤️

this whole weekend i keep thinking of that nightmare i had a few weeks ago where i had to play in front of a crowd and i went into the hallway to practice and could only get like croaking death throes from the trumpet and i know if someone handed me one right now and sheet music from something i basically knew i could play it probably pretty ok but it’s still scary. like what if i actually couldn’t get a single note outta that thang

guys never read ACOTAR in public i just remembered the worst story from back when i read ACOTAR in class which is too embarrassing to even repeat.........

anyways so I was reading ACOSF in my damn AP Human Geography class and my friend Wes asks me in front of everybody "Are you reading the weird book again?" and I tell him yes ofc, anyways my other friend Kaiden goes and snatches my phone and starts reading out loud to the entire class what I was reading (silent classroom, teacher right behind me).

Anyways, I was in the middle of reading one of the bajillion sex scenes. It wasn't fun. I never got to live it down. Kaiden AND his girlfriend AND all my friends AND this one random kid who was in that class who i hardly talk to, all still bring it up and it was horrifying. Thank god i don't read smutty books anymore because i never wanna relive that

even many disability activists question the idea that it could ever be morally good or even morally neutral to bring a disabled child into the world, and I think that shows how far we have left to go in our unlearning of ableism
