it's kinda crazy how readily left leaning people write off people who criticize them for being racially insensitive just because it happens on tumblr or twitter or bsky like I know we're on the stupid idiot website but that doesn't mean you're immune to racial blunders
#I'm on my phone so I not gonna get too into it but despite the fact that I don't think Lindsay Ellis should've been “run off social media”#the legitimate criticism she was receiving got written off WAY too quickly#like it sucks for everyone that the sentiment got cooped by people who already hated her but ough it still makes me mad that she never took#responsibility for it#like I know it was over a dumbass movie no one cared about but idk!#I find the whole thing very frustrating#edit just in case this blows up: this post is not about lindsay ellis. its about something completely different it just reminded me of that

ghost type trainersona moment 🖤 +extras and pokemon team below!
-a sweetheart!!!!! -the kind of person who'd be more likely to befriend all the really grown middle-aged people at their job and get along fairly well with the elderly -theyve always had a very generally gloomy outward disposition (unintentionally. like literal black aura hovering in the air over them) which people usually find intimidating, this further saddens them bcuz they mean well and are just quite softspoken 😭 -this also often causes bad weather to happen near them sometimes, so they tend to keep to themselves for the sake of others usually -wish they had a green thumb but its hit or miss on gardening probably. they fully believe plants may not like them but they still try! desperately so! -they take a lot of things very literally sometimes or take a moment to understand things -i pair them with Avery (and they do have kids later on) but honestly they are my doll to play house with whoever yay ^-^ -they also have a phantump they spoil and a ceruledge thats newer to the team whos still getting acquainted with the whole team dynamic -yes I do think that 99% of her pokemon give Avery a hard time since they really adore their trainer

i think the main issue in arguing with zionists is that, well, they believe in zionism! if israel did deserve to exist, then the genocide and injustice in palestine could be argued for (not like it should be, but it certainly could) -- and zionists believe israel deserves to exist.
i, unfortunately, have a large amount of experience interacting (personally) with zionism and zionists. most of those i've talked to feel for the palestinians, and the violence they are facing, but they fail to realize (or they staunchly deny) the very, very active part israel and the IDF have had in that -- and how it's representative of what the nation has always done.
at the same time, they focus more on israeli hostages than palestinian ones -- and i know, of course, that these zionist jews i've interacted with are either israeli or have loved ones in israel, and so have a very personal stake in the safety of israeli hostages (which may very well be friends or family members), but i find it strange how much emphasis they put on hamas' cruelty in taking hostages while the IDF is doing the same thing (in essence; the exact details of who's doing it worse are important to note, but not relevant right now, because folks should realize that their side is being at least as cruel as the enemy's).
recently i was drawn into an argument with an israeli zionist (who, unfortunately, is very close to the action and tragedy by being israeli), and she was incredibly offended by my anti-zionism and my opposition to israel's abject cruelty to palestinian citizens, as it seemed (to her) like i was bypassing the cruelty hamas has enacted on israeli citizens -- which is very telling. i've noticed that we as jews have the tendency, whatever the situation may be, of focusing more on our pain than the pain of others, even if we are the ones hurting them. that person has every reason to be scared and hurt, and i'd be lying if i said her response wasn't at least somewhat sympathetic, but her pain in this horrible, violent conflict does not invalidate the pain on the other side. jews, throughout this recent crisis, have consistently not talked in depth about the constant losses in palestine -- am i suddenly being callous by focusing on those losses, and not our own? (YOUR PAIN AND THEIRS AREN'T MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, YOU DOLT! sorry...)
because it all comes down to believing in israel! my mom has always told me about how beautiful it is there, about her time living on a kibbutz... and sure, it might be nice. i can't argue with that. but why is it that our nationalism for israel is so strong, so virulent? i have not seen patriots as loyal for any other country. and when you criticize israel, israelis feel like you're criticizing their entire existence -- and many non-israeli jews do, as well. because zionism has been built so deep into the modern religion! it's made to be a necessary piece! belief in it is the default!
and, from the inside looking in, i can't be surprised that many jews take anti-zionism as being antisemitic -- because, to them, israel and zionism stand as the pinnacle of safety and support for the jewish people. it is impossible to argue with them about anything above that base layer, as the base layer itself serves as a foundation: so long as a jew thinks that israel is right, deserved, and necessary, no proof will sway them into hating israel. it's just impossible, and that's very frustrating.
for me in particular, i find it very frustrating, as this single idea has turned so many people i know to support a genocidal entity. they believe in and support israel, so they stand with it now -- even if they condemn its current actions, they neglect how those actions are just an extension of its inherent existence -- whether they think israel's doing the right thing or wrong thing right now, they don't really care at the end of the day, because israel, to them, is necessary in keeping the jewish people alive. they stand with it, thinking that jews can only stand at all if they do.
but a genocidal crutch is no crutch at all: it only breaks us more. zionist jews make me so mad, and the worst part is that i could never express that to them in a way they'll understand.
#melonposting#anti-zionism#israel#i am so madddd and frustrated and stressed#with the whole camp thing going on my parents will inevitably find out (and soon!) that i'm anti-zionist#and given their age and proximity -- they're so deeply entrenched in zionism that i can't even hope to sway them#it's so sad and scary (i don't want them to be mad at me -- even though that really isn't the important thing here)#but it's also philosophically bizarre... like these people have good principles!#it's just this one tiny stupid thing (believing in israel) that's effectively turned them into bad people!#<- it's weird saying something like that. because i don't think they're bad people. but they're zionist.#part of it is that they're my parents and i love them but also... they're so good otherwise. a single thing went wrong.#(okay well not a single thing but it's generally minute things y'know?)#i don't wanna hate my parents. and i don't want them to hate me. can they please for the love of god stop#(takes every jew i know by the shoulders and shakes them back and forth) PLEAAAASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOPPPPPPP#anyway it's very hard for me to do work because i have this on my mind.#how do i break it to my parents that 1. i won't be working at camp this summer and 2. it's because i hate zionism?#i'm not cut out for situations like these ughhhhh why did i have to post that stupid anti-zionist instagram story in march#i could've just chosen not to take the job on my own accord and have enough time to come up with an excuse for my parents#whatever. too late for that. i dug my grave and now must lie in it#i guess it's character-building?? :')

One of my favorite things about being in my early 20s is that I'm starting to understand that I can use things not for their intended purpose. When you're growing up, you get told what an object is and what its intended purpose is, and as a kid/teen, I just accepted all of it at face value. As a young adult it's finally clicking that I can simply do things a different way if it makes me happier. Sure, I was taught that you stand to take a shower, but there's nothing stopping me from just sitting if I don't feel like it, ya know? I might have always had my medication in the kitchen, but if I'm no longer remembering to take it, I can just move it somewhere where I can remember. You don't have to specifically store all food in the kitchen, you can have a little snack cart or snack station in another room.
The downside to finding out the various ways you can use objects is that you develop habits that would probably go on an r/relationships post where everyone says you're a little freak.
#simon says#i just developed a new habit (it's too tmi to put here) and I just know that it's some weird shit#it works and it makes me feel better so I'm gonna keep doing it#but it's some shit that would end up viral where everyone would go 'yo op you should break up with them thats weird' 😔#i was just thinking about this though because every week or so I learn that I can just do what I want#because there's no fucking object use police I can do what I want#i HIGHLY suggest getting into this habit. if you find something annoying or frustrating you can just do it differently#'I hate washing the dishes because my legs hurt from standing for so long' you can bring a chair and sit or you can break it up into chunks#like on the one hand I'm learning this because I have autism and a plethora of other mental disorders#and it's FINALLY clicking that I can self accommodate whenever and however I so please#I'm just sorta learning that if doing something makes me feel better/happy/gets the job done to do that thing#even if it requires using an object in an odd way#hell there's even some little things I've been playing with#for example: my whole life we sorta just lifted blinds only about halfway up#just sorta how we did it ya know#well recently I decided I wanted more natural light in the sunroom/my office so I wouldn't have to turn on the lamp#and I lifted the blinds all the way up to the very top#and honestly?? it fucking rules. the room looks nicer; i get natural light; i can see the forest out back and it's quite calming and nice#like for ages I just never thought about doing that because it just never occurred to me that I could#i just always put blinds about halfway up because that's about how high blinds do in my household#another little one I learned is that I can just... wash my hair#sometimes when I get too depressed or if my body doesn't need a shower but my hair is greasy#I just shove my head under the bathtub facet and wash my hair#it's just a small thing but for years if my hair needed to be washed I would just take a full shower#now I just fix my greasy hair. bc greasy hair is a huge ick for me but sometimes my body is still clean or im too tired to fully shower#like there's nothing stopping me from doing that and it doesn't hurt anyone. it's just a way of bathing that I wasn't taught#but yeah those are some recent examples of me learning I can just... do stuff differently#the free will is kicking in babes and it has decided I love finding ways to use things differently#it's why im doing a bg3 run where I just press loot all no matter what and use whatever I can in odd ways#anyways I might delete this later might not who knows

Guess who found out that there’s a version of Moemon for Pokemon Black, and who then spent their entire morning patching it into Blaze Black and building a new team?
That’s right. This idiot.
#i needed to shop for groceries - but waifu is laifu and all that? is that a saying?#also - luvdisc looked very authentic to the original-set. but it looked too much like luna from hololive and i took SAN-damage#and as always with moemon - art is not equal between mons - srsly what the fuck did they do to kingdra?#actually patching it into blaze-black took me like... five minutes? if i include reading the instructions?#trying to track down what the different moemon actually looked like? that's where things got frustrating#i don't have a sprite-tool for the nds games so i had to find them all in-game and it was a whole thing#laughing#pokemon#moemon

Hello hi it’s me again.
surprising absolutely no one, I’m coming out as a toxic old man yaoi enjoyer. Here is a comic based on this post
#I have NO art style and no originality the only thing I know is how to replicate the anime style 😔👍 talent gods when is it my turn please#anyways this is low key very messy if you zoom in. don’t zoom in please#the way this took me several weeks because copying the anime style is also something that I cannot do correctly in a respectable amount of#time because I’m just not talented like that.#also I made this whole thing on my phone which was extra frustrating and the cherry on top is that I don’t even have a stylus#I was rawdogging this shit with the sketchbook app and my finger.#I’m trying to find my style ok I just absolutely HAD to draw this omg#anyways enough about me just enjoy the concept#bungou stray dogs#my art#bsd mori#bsd fukuzawa#zskk#fukuzawa x mori#president fukuzawa

Obligatory disclaimer that I don't think this is gospel or that the complaints aren't valid bc they are and I will probably continue to complain myself, this is just me spitting into the void a few minutes after waking up while I wait for my coffee to be done. But. I sometimes suspect that a lot of people who complain about the quality of cultural media these days, e.g. movies and books etc, need to just like. Learn how to find the good shit. Is the sequel-and-rebootification bad for film culture as a whole? Yes obviously. Is the tiktokization of a lot of pop music bad for music culture as a whole? Obviously yes. However. Have you considered watching/listening to/reading something that wasn't written in a year starting with a 20? Has it occurred to you that maybe ""booktok"" is not only whatever the first person you see when you search #booktok on the app says? And that there are many people talking about all kind of excellent new releases that show there are plenty of books with literary merit still being written? Published even?
Perfectly valid complaint to be angry about the way arts and media have devolved into Content but I also think some of you are just bad at finding new stuff so you keep reconsuming the same things over and over and talking about how nothing meaningful has ever been made in the last decade.
#disgruntled octopus#maybe this is the anarchist in me but i find it frustrating to only see criticisms with no effort being put in#to build up artists who ARE trying to combat the problem#or at the very least explore the past instead of relying solely on new releases that you can see in theaters/concert/etc#this is not abt mutuals or anyone btw like this was inspired by multiple things but mostly just my lil brain first thing in the morning#and the episode of Teacup Demagogues i was listening to#TD is hosted by a tiktoker i like who recommends 'new music for old heads' and she was talking abt this exact phenomenon#ppl in her comments will be like 'no good music is made anymore' and then her whole channel is just abt sharing new(er) releases#that are likely to be enjoyed by people who like old(er) music#like. her channel is right there. you're commenting on it. there is good shit being put out you just ignore it or dont try to find it#''''everything is so commercial and soulless these days 😤😤😤''''#meanwhile they refuse to seek out anyone with less than 100k monthly listeners on spotify#or read self-pub or indie press books#or watch people's passion projects on youtube#nevermind shit being released by small indie studios#''''games are just data farming flashes in the pan made by artistic sweatshops'''' but they wont download a single indie game on steam#like. again. valid complaint overall and i am going to say that shit myself at times.#but. very frustrating counterphenomena

you know. i get that people offer empty platitudes when they don’t know what else to say. but when that’s the only thing you get back, it starts to be fucking patronizing and it really starts to piss me off. it’s fine if you don’t have anything to say!!!! just don’t say anything! just say “i’m sorry you’re going through this.” and leave it at that!!! i don’t need the Soppy Sympathy Express to show up every time i express frustration over my situation!!!
#it’s just so fucking frustrating to be the person people come to for advice#but when you’re the one who needs advice everybody is all shoulders and empty platitudes#yeah i get it#you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute so you just say whatever sympathy thing you can think of#BUT IT’S NOT HELPFUL#AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE PATRONIZING ME#like awwww obrecita you poor widdle baby who can’t get a wee jobbo#fuck#if you don’t have anything constructive to say#just don’t say anything. please.#very tired of being reassured that my inability to provide for myself and my family isn’t my fault uwu#it’s just like………..no shit sherlock. so what the fuck do i do about it.#*screams and rips hair and gnashes teeth and rends garments*#gods it’s so fucking infuriating#just….the whole thing#i KNOW people are just trying to be helpful + supportive#but i find it neither#i in fact find it vexatious and deeply irritating

[cw vent: chronic illness, general world politics mention w no detail)
"man. i'm so tired. i feel like i can't do anything selfship related. is it because my energy's been sapped from family visiting and everyone wanting to do ~summer activities~ nonstop? am i so in my head about "getting ren's story right without stepping over any lines" that i've backed myself into a perfectionist corner? is the world just going to shit so hard that i can't have one (1) minute of escape on this blog before going back to working through the political hellscape we're in? god even trying to make this plushie pattern is killing me even though i want to hold my guy So Badly AUGH."
/finishes the plushie pattern after trying multiple body bases and literally buying a japanese ebook about plushie face and hair design/
"actually what if i lived forever and spent all of that time making an army of these fuckers to swim in? what then?"
#obviously tagging this as#vent -#lol. lmao. anyway.#when i say i spent all day on this... jumping from base to base trying to find one that worked well for what i wanted#and had the right face shape and the easiest way to map a face onto it and know it'll look Right when embroidered...#and then i just caved and bought a book i'd been looking at since i started making mini ren lol#(by p.iyo p.icco -- their y.outube videos influenced mini ren's design and i plan to give that credit once i post final pics#along with the person who made the 10cm doll base i used.)#and it took so much effort and i kept thinking about how Fucking Tired i am and how frustrating it is that playing cards w family#means i have to spend 2 days recovering bc sitting up + in a chair w no good support + mental games + being social = negative battery.#and then i keep going in circles about ren's backstory and the whole 'this is a story about conditions i have but for anyone#who doesn't know me it DEFINITELY reads like a gross story about a stigmatized condition i DON'T have so i have to tread#very carefully when writing about it... but i don't practice writing like i practice art so i'm simply not at the skill level#to navigate that and it makes me feel like i can't post any of that until i figure it out' Thing...#but i DID finish my plushie pattern. and i will start on it sometime this week? depending on Factors? and if i reeeeally like how it#turns out i might buy The Plushie Making Fabric™... i checked at a craft store and buying 1/4yd of both fabrics won't break the bank...#and then i could make all of his AU selves w different expressions 😏#anyway. recovery officially starts in a few days (doc appts and pest control coming over this week + dogsitting in a few days.#not great for recovery lol lmao.) so hopefully i'll be more Around here by this weekend. idk. don't hold me to that kjsndkjn#i might get sucked into plushie making again and disappear for 3 days straight kjsdnfkjsdnf ;;;#📌 [ my posts. ]#💭 [ my thoughts. ]

I have such a love hate relationship w subnautica at this point like it's such a good game and I do adore it but every time I get to somewhere only to realise I'm missing something I need and have to backtrack 10 mins for materials I feel such rage and despair
#wastepaper basket#Like idk if I should just be taking more materials w me but like this game is very fun Until I hit the wall of 'can't find thing I need'#Or 'thing I need is like 10 mins back the way I came'#I swallowed my pride and looked up where I had to go after giving up months ago bc I was getting frustrated scouring the whole map#& it turned out I had the wrong idea about where I should have been searching & made like 1 wrong turn last time I'd been in the area lmao#So I'm less bothered about looking stuff up now but like taking my sub all the way down to the last [redacted] only to find out I need a key#Which is somewhere else I have to go find and also I don't have a material I need to make something so I need to go all the way back to#my FOURTH base which is the closest one and I already had to do multiple trips to even get that one set up.... it does get a bit tedious lol

Wish I had more of that stereotypical "refined genius psychopath mystery villain" vibes and less "dysfunctional no sleep cycle can't tell when/if they have emotions traumatized mess doesn't feel like a human paranoid future true crime psychopath" vibes. So that was word salad. Moving on.
#i have been described as a genius but unfortunately the#aspd and other mental illnesses mess with my impulse control and risk vs return and energy/motivation levels#so it kind of gets in the way of showing off my intelligence most of the time#which probably makes me less insufferable but also leads to some people underestimating me#or just thinking of me as too much of a mess in general#both of which i hate#and when it comes to the 'coolness/sophistication factor' vs 'unfortunate creature that needs to stop interacting with humans vibe' well.#trust me i would go into seclusion for the rest of time if it was financially viable and if#my various projects didn't require working with other people#ugh I'm not really that upset today I'm just frustrated by my brain#also my body and other people and the universe and the concept of time but that's a whole different subject#sometimes the stars align and it's like the best aspects of everything 'wrong' with me are displaying at once#and i actually feel like myself and like myself#then something shifts idk but the worse things start showing again and the best bits lose some of their influence and#suddenly I'm struggling to get through a day with a decent level of functionality and without engaging in destructive behaviors#the AND is very important because i can usually do or. At least i have that i guess#today i don't feel like a person i feel like a poorly written character who's been brought into real life#only to find out that when faced with normal everyday problems#their fucked up little traits are way more of a disadvantage than they thought#i could probably blame it on the trauma or the aspd or a million other things#but maybe it's just because i am the person i am#and idk how to feel about that#just want the stars to align again

I finished Annihilation and I'm proud to announce that I still have absolutely no fucking idea of what's going on. I love it.
#the southern reach trilogy#unfortunately i don't have next book#i really liked the atmosphere#and the depersonalisation of characters#having no names#really make the whole thing disturbing and completely insane#I guess it's not for everyone tho#it's really slow and some people might find it very frustrating to not know more by the end#basically you have more questions by the end lmao#funnily enough it made completely forget about the movie#like i know I saw it but it feels completely disconnected from the book reality

I’ll have you all know I’ve had about 23 edit ideas over the past week but have failed to actually complete anything of them because I am a major perfectionist when it comes to photo editing. not to mention I am also indecisive and while I may listen to a few lines in a song and have a brief, ethereal moment of ‘oh! I can get screenshots of these scenes and use them with these lyrics!’ it immediately leaves my head even if I try and write it down as quickly as possible and then i end up sitting there. contemplating my existence because I cannot remember the exact thought I had .02 seconds prior. and all this turns into one big emotion and I get frustrated and shut my computer.
one day. one day I will post a sad joel and ellie edit on here and giggle at all my notifications. ONE DAY
#I photo edited for years on Instagram#YEARS#and while I did enjoy it for the most part#it was FRUSTRATING#especially filters#got a screencap that’s too dark?#lmao good luck finding a decent filter that works on that one AND all your other ones#the edits I’ll be doing here aren’t even as intricate as the ones I used to do#but the whole process is so#I love it but I get very frustrated very easily#even if I put myself in a semi calm environment#there is 100% certainty I can and will get frustrated#it is inevitable#maybe i will start getting a handle on editing again over the next few weeks#once I crank this wip out and dedicate more time to editing I’ll get a more smooth thing going for editing

I’ve had a change of meds, which means I get a crumb of mental clarity and immediately
—make breakfast
—try to sketch up a medication schedule
—go online to buy a planner (but thankfully didn’t spend $50 on stationary or but the things including furniture from kmart that almost led to)
—try to go on my gov to see my medicare billings to make a more accurate schedule of my meds changes but can’t log on
—and so miss the chance of a reminder that I had a zoom meeting that I failed to attend because my current calendar/reminder protocol sucks which, ironically, this burst of activity was all about
—decide I need to chill and decide I can’t read another word on a screen I need to read book I’ve been meaning to read
—search for the book and can’t find it but going to the bookshelf reminds me I have this cool little b6 file that I could use for my planner/schedule, frantically search for the file, can’t find it
—see some cool art and polaroid I should totally frame and hang (thankfully do not try to frame and hang them)
in between all of this I was slowly sieving some plum syrup out of a pot I stewed yesterday, and this is important because after realising I mossed my meeting and messaging my social worker I try to finish the syrup so I can pack it away and clean up but at the last stage before glad wrapping the jug of syrup (wiping the mess off of the outside) I manage to somehow break the jug while it was in my hand and spill syrup all over the bench, the cupboards, myself and the floor
—let out the saddest noise as I try to clean ip a mess that looks like the set of hannibal. mourning that I couldn’t even take a photo of it to laugh about with my friends
—can’t find the mop so try to clean with a combination of towels, paper towels, a dishrag and some baby wipes lmao
—shower the sticky off
—collapse into bed but can’t sleep or even chill properly because: meds are making the brain go over everything that went wrong and how I could do it better
welcome back brain, I can’t believe I missed you
