Stigma has always made it easy for people to spread dubious rumours during disease outbreaks.

Conspiracy theories and stigma have always been associated with infectious disease outbreaks. You only need to read histories of the many plagues and pandemics and diseases throughout history to know this. Anyone blaming disinformation on scientists for “losing the public’s trust” is intentionally or unintentionally, creating a decoy misdirection that gives cover to the real causes and deflects from real solutions. Are some scientists bad, untrustworthy, or inept? Of course some are. Did some prominent doctors and scientists botch their leadership in the pandemic? Yes, some trusted people really dropped the ball with dipshit decisions. But the people to blame are the people with money, platforms, and power spreading disinformation on purpose about things that aren’t real or aren’t true. They include scientists, but doctors and scientists pushing nonsense are more likely to be useful fools drinking their own elixirs, or mercenary types who’ve found a way to make money. And all these people are simply taking advantage of typical human cognitive biases and tendencies. They use established advertising and sales techniques. It’s not accidental, it’s deliberate.

human costs and sustainability nightmare.

taxing the rich is highly agreeable due to heart engineering metrics and its been around for a long long time since training machines to operate as humans will result in global operational systems so social media has the higher socio-economic impact ('socio' meaning higher access interpersonal trends) they impact the world from across 50 different stations, hence why the global access to wifi is underneath a code upon self realisation. 5G networking is not there, they actually mastered brainwaves into chemically altering the world in a heartbeat and that is how Ada Lovelace initially strung out the idea that the heart is more weirdly contributed to world spurces because she is actually the first billionaire to sustain sources of human crops because humans never stop reinventing til invention itself becomes imaginary, and imagination is what scientists like the creators of Facebook figured out human algorithm turned to baseless electronics turned into a choreographed heart, it is Mark Zuckerberg who was the first one to graph out a human heart to new land wifi to alter egos (avatars) that was one of the most faceless creations to an actual nightmare made due to the way human will try to function out of pure heart instead of pure mind to counteract to real life physics, but really it was just human choices that will alter the face of humanity that will read into your life as 'being' but put that into your online forms and create an identity out of your heartless future, mankind waits on an exhibition on what you've done to comemorate your succes by making it into your own personal archives of human ability in self beliefs but train the heart is what you get AI. AI is a strict heart to bond mind to alternate reality, they never foresaw creation til the horrors of 'man vs machines' will enterprise them by self reacting to self.

the future of humanity is governed by laws of strict adherence to mankind's ability to create to prevent global sources of being run down giving humanity a chance to revive sources of self worth in production to exceed limits in the human mind because the algorithm is warped heavily due to access of wifi from heart to heart companionship that made the Earth once again.

yes, billionaires will be taxed.

THE TENTH HOUSE: ANSWERING THE CALL TO WEALTH

the 10th house (10H) is arguably one of the most important houses in astrology, closely tied to your midheaven (MC), which represents your public image, reputation, and the way you are recognized in the world. it symbolizes your legacy, the energy others associate with you, and the role you naturally embody in society. however, understanding your career path goes beyond than just identifying the sign in your 10th house. to gain a deeper insight, you should also analyze its planetary ruler and the house it occupies, as these factors will give you a better idea about the careers that align with your natural strengths.

[letters-to-lgbt-kids]

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

This is another post that has nothing to do with being lgbt+ and is just me musing on another internet phenomenon I noticed: the (forced?) hype around excessive hygiene. 

Shower routines that require 25 different products. “How to smell good” guides that tell you to use at least 5 different body washes within one shower and then layer 3 different deodorants on your armpits or else you stink and everyone hates you. “Tap into your divine feminine and reclaim your female power” by washing your genitalia with these 3 scented products every day. “Find your Wellness Girl aesthetic” and each aesthetic requires you to - you guess it - buy a ridiculous amount of products to all use simultaneously. 

This common thread may already reveal what this is really about: not physical health,  not emotional wellness, not even empowerment - they just want you to buy stuff.

More precisely, they want you to feel insecure enough to keep buying stuff - which is a really horrible marketing trick, considering that excessive hygiene and the underlying social fears can be so damaging. 

Washing yourself too often or using too many products will actually irritate your skin. It can disrupt your natural microbiome, cause painfully dry skin, itching, rashes or contact dermatitis, especially if the products are fragranced. 

(An extra note for those with vulvas: you shouldn’t use scented products at all down there due to risk of increased infections (like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections). If you notice strong and unusual odor, that’s actually a typical sign of bacterial infections, so don’t just change your shower routine - visit a gynecologist.)

For most people and on an ordinary day (as in, you haven’t been explicitly instructed by your doctor to do otherwise etc.): Using one product for your body (shower gel or body wash or soap) should be absolutely enough to get germs, sweat and dirt off. Of course you may also use additional products for your hair or face - that does not fall under excessive since those are different body parts with different needs. But there is no need to use multiple products of the same variant, like multiple shower gels. That offers no proven benefits - except for getting the company more sales and more money. 

If you regularly feel sweaty or smelly after an ordinary shower with one shower gel, there are a few possible explanations: underlying physical conditions (for example hyperhidrosis (overactive sweat glands), thyroid issues, some neurological disorders, bacterial infections or even certain medications) can cause you to sweat a lot more than needed to regulate body temperature. This isn’t fixed by just buying and using an increasing amount of products. It’s something that needs to be checked out by a doctor. So if you notice an unexplained (I.e not related to increased activity or temperature) change in how much you sweat or how your sweat smells, take that as a potential symptom and see a medical professional. 

If you’re not actually sweating through your shirt after you just showered but you often find yourself worrying about that happening, then there could also be an underlying mental health issue. Ruminating (excessive worrying) about hygiene, sweat, germs, body odor, being “gross” or repulsive to others etc. can be connected to various conditions such as OCD, anxiety (health anxiety, social anxiety etc.) or body dysmorphia. 

Marketing that invents new things for you to feel insecure about - like “only” using one shower gel instead of multiple ones - preys on and exploits vulnerable people. It encourages overconsumption (bad for your finances and the environment), hurts your skin and your mental health. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Went to the library to look around and found a few M*A*S*H DVDs. Which would be like whatever since I can watch it on the Internet Archive easily BUT since these are Finnish DVDs, they have translations, even for episode names. So here are the insane Finnish names of episodes from seasons 1 and 2. Translations under the cut.

Season 1:

Pilot = A Small "Party" at the Field Hospital ("party" is not Finnish which makes it sound really weird)

To Market, to Market = In the Black Market

Requiem for a Lightweight = Aether Hawks Coming In

Chief Surgeon Who? = The Unbeatable Chief Surgeon

The Moose = The Sergeant's Muse

Yankee Doodle Doctor = Surgeons in the World of the Marx Brothers

Bananas, Crackers and Nuts = Hawkeye Under Psychiatric Monitoring

Cowboy = The Wounded Cowboy

Henry, Please Come Home = The High Ranking Officer in a Spa

I Hate a Mystery = The Perry Mason Specialty

Germ Warfare = The Bloody Bunk Shortage

Dear Dad = A Christmas Letter for "Daddy" (again, "daddy" is not Finnish, making this sound incredibly sexual)

Edwina = Lovable Edwina

Love Story = Oh Dear Bach

Tuttle = Glory to Captain Tuttle

The Ringbanger = Hawkeye Style Soap Opera

Sometimes You Hear the Bullet = Death in the OR

Dear Dad...Again = The Surgeon's Nude Lunch

The Long-John Flap = The Cold Winter's Underwear Circulation

The Army-Navy Game = Surgeons as Bomb Diffusers

Sticky Wicket = Patient or Ego, Hawkeye?

Major Fred C. Dobbs = Korea, the Land of Gold

Ceasefire = Premature Joy

Showtime = "Showtime" in the Midst of War

Season 2:

Divided We Stand = Psychiatric Syndromes

Radar's Report = Corporal Klinger's Perverse Clothes

5 O'Clock Charlie = 5 O'Clock Comic Relief

For the Good of the Outfit = A Top Secret Find

Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde = Dr. Pierce, Tireless Operator

L.I.P. (Local Indigenous Personnel) = Marriage Conseling Running on Gin

Kim = Little Kim in the Mine Field

The Trial of Henry Blake = Blake's Boys' Forbidden Delights (sounds like a porno)

Dear Dad... Three = War Diary Pages for the Old Man

The Sniper = Ballistic Bustles in Blake's [_____] (Camp maybe?)

Carry On, Hawkeye = The Sick Medicinaries

The Incubator = Incubators at the Press Conference

Deal Me Out = Card Sharks and Macabre [_____]

Hot Lips and Empty Arms = Hot Lips and Empty Arms (wow)

Officers Only = Couple of Drinks at the Officers' Club

Henry in Love = Henry Blake and Midlife Crushes

For Want of a Boot = Pathetic Walking ["booting"]

Operation Noselift = Nose Surgical Views

Chosen People = The Korean Mother and the Bundle

As You Were = Gorilla Surgeons and Major Burns' Hernia

Crisis = Lack of Intimate Life (or Intimate Lack of Life)

George = Deviants Out!

Mail Call = Man's Mail from Radar

A Smattering of Intelligence = Agent Orgy in Blake's Camp

You can say what you want about the quality of these translations but they're definitely more descriptive.

Also yeah, I know like none of you care but I do so whatever.

Introducing: "The Blizzard of the World" (A Theory of Magic, book 1)

The problem, of course, is that I don’t understand. Not at all about anything. We physicists liked to say that the universe could still surprise us, but we never really meant it. “Surprises” were supposed to come in the data: a subatomic particle behaving aberrantly; a galaxy three billion lightyears away giving off an unexpected radiation profile. Not technology arbitrarily ceasing to function for no reason. Not magic or fairies or fucking ghosts whispering to us in the dark. The “Shift,” as we’d come to call it, had come over the world gradually. It’s difficult to say precisely when it began—there’d always been a certain “background noise” of unexplained happenings going on in the world, low enough in frequency and intensity that you could ignore it, or reassure yourself that any given instance would prove to be a hoax or have some obscure-but-rational explanation if you just took the time to look into it. And when this background noise started to pick up, the obvious explanation had still been deception: fake news; post-truth politics; new technologies making it easier to doctor video than ever before. Even when an epidemic of disappearances had broken out, it had been easy to assume that it was just mass-media hype; your standard moral panic about traffickers. Electricity and the Internet had started going out and we blamed deregulation; well-established experiments started churning out anomalous results and we blamed planned obsolescence by equipment manufacturers; fish had rained from the sky and we’d blamed climate-change-induced waterspouts. And then a dragon the size of a Hercules plane had landed on Fort Knox and claimed it as its treasure hoard, and suddenly our explanations had failed us. Everything had fallen apart quickly after that. Markets collapsed; riots broke out due to runs on consumer goods; in Switzerland, CERN held a press conference to announce that the laws of physics seemed to have changed—though they couldn’t say how. The last international news that I’d heard before the power had crapped out once and for all had been about a mysterious army of glassy-faced figures in shining armour, coming out of nowhere to march on Washington DC. Three days after that, I’d personally gotten to watch a similar army marching on Parliament Hill here in Ottawa, bringing an unnatural winter in its wake. It’s difficult to overstate the shock of it. On Monday of that week, I had been living in a rational universe governed by perfect, inviolable mathematical laws. By Saturday, I’d become a vassal of someone called the Winter Queen, and reality itself seemed to bow to the whims of petty tyrants. And now, two weeks later, I am cold, I am hungry, and ghosts are real.

Hello everyone! I figured I would take the advice of that post I reblogged above and try putting up a part of my novel on AO3! I'm still planning to serialize it as a podcast, and I already have a publisher lined up, but I want to see how it plays with the crowd here.

✸ Demonic Domination Masterlist

Pairings: Natasha Romanoff x Reder; Bucky Barnes x Reader; Matt Murdock x Reader.

Summary: Y/N doesn’t classify herself as a vigilante or, as people on the internet say, an antihero. No, she’s just an occult detective with a fucking amnesia trying to create a new life beyond her secret mutant status. At first, she really tried to keep a normal civilian life, but it’s difficult when you’re rescued from a dark place by a man dressed as a mummy ninja calling himself Moon Knight. So, anyway, working as an occult detective makes her travel around the world, and it’s cool because it gives her a lot of stories… Until her feet touch New York grounds. It’s all downhill from there.

[argumate]

there are a few reasons for why someone might wish to reduce the level of immigration rather than increase it:

it's illegal to build housing, so there will be nowhere for them to live -- this is a valid concern! a society where it is illegal or very costly to build housing will have difficulties with immigration, and population growth in general, new family formation, seniors downsizing, people living closer to their jobs, in fact there will be many problems; please consider legalising the construction of housing immediately, it makes everything so much easier.

we don't have enough schools/hospitals/trains for more people -- similar to a housing shortage this is a valid concern and has a similar solution: build more infrastructure! if you have a shortage of vital infrastructure and an inability to construct more then that will be a constant drag on growth regardless of immigration.

immigrants reduce wages -- this is a complicated one as it gets tangled up in so many different hypotheses:

immigrants that are not allowed to work may work illegally and accept low wages without complaint as they fear deportation, while immigrants that have rights may demand higher wages.

population increase does not automatically lower wages as people consume as well as work (wages rose faster in the 1960s despite population growth being high).

if immigrants reduce wages, why doesn't that lower prices? if lower wages flow through to higher corporate profits then that suggests issues with market concentration and lack of competition that are independent of immigration.

many industries have gatekeeping bottlenecks that prevent new workers from joining in order to keep wages high, like healthcare (which often leads to a two tier system where e.g. nurses might be paid less than doctors if they aren't protected by the same guild).

immigrants require too much public support -- another complicated one if you believe that immigrants work too much for too little, since this idea suggests that immigrants import excess consumption instead of excess production; of course it's possible that young immigrants work hard and don't consume much in the way of healthcare while older immigrants work less and consume more healthcare, so both assertions could be true simultaneously depending on which immigrants you are talking about (in practice I don't think it's the case that immigrants or their descendants consume noticeably more public support than non-immigrants).

immigrants might be axe murderers -- unclear whether this belief relies on immigrants having committed axe murders in the past or planning to commit them in the future, but with crime rates at historic lows it seems that axe murders fluctuate due to reasons that are not tied to immigration levels (and there are so many candidates to choose from: social policy, incarceration rates, abortion access, lead in the petrol, war and mass mobilisation, availability of mobile phones and the internet, dozens more hypotheses).

immigrants might make people racist -- this sounds funny but it's true that due to the way people get tribal (and unfortunate media incentives) if any immigrant does turn out to be an axe murderer then it will potentially prejudice popular opinion against all immigrants, much like the way if a serial killer turns out to be a middle aged man it justifies treating all middle aged men as serial killers, etc.

I'm ignoring the overtly racist reasons why someone might want to constrain immigration as those are unpleasant; there are obviously a lot of covertly or implicitly racist reasons but I think it's better to take them at face value first.

I believe there are strong moral and economic arguments in favour of what you might call a "let people do what the fuck they want" policy towards immigration, and that most of the challenges to adopting this relate to self-inflicted own goals where a society shoots itself in the dick by making it impossible to build housing where people want to live, or impossible to build power stations, or impossible to build train lines, and then laments the lack of the infrastructure necessary for life; we don't have to do this, and we could all be a lot richer if we just stopped choosing not to be.

Buck Moon - July 20-21, 2024

Put on your flower crowns and your walking shoes - it’s time for the Buck Moon!

Buck Moon 🦌

The Buck Moon is the name given to the full moon in the month of July and is called this because at this time of year, the rack of antlers previously shed by male deer are beginning to regrow and harden in preparation for the fall rutting season. 

Other North American Indigenous names for this moon include Salmon Moon (Tlingit), Berry Moon (Anishinaabe), Month of the Ripe Corn Moon (Cherokee), and Raspberry Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe). The West Abenaki also call this the Thunder Moon in reference to the often-stormy summer weather. (This one is my personal favorite and the name appears in lunar calendars just as often as the Buck Moon.)

European names for the July moon include Hay Moon and Wort Moon, and it should be noted that the name Stag Moon does appear in some European sources as well.

This year's Buck Moon will be at peak illumination at 6:17am EST on July 21st, so the moon will appear to be full on both the 20th and 21st. Also, it's a weekend, so plan your festivities accordingly!

What Does It Mean For Witches? 🦌

The July full moon continues June’s template of planning for the future, this time with a focus on your passions and ambitions. Reflect on what you’ve accomplished so far this year and plan your next step.

Dream big and plan big, but don’t give in to reckless urgency. Summer (and capitalist grind culture) gives us the urge to Go Go Go. Despite all this, it’s important to take time to rest and recharge, lest we find ourselves burning out and losing our motivation.

What Witchy Things Can We Do? 🦌

Celebrate your victories and revel in the abundance of the summer season. If you’re inclined to do so, take a page from the deer and do a bit of prancing around a bonfire or your favorite flower arbor with some festive flowery headgear.

Go exploring! Find a local park or garden and take a stroll among the greenery, or use TV and the internet to explore and learn about faraway places. This is another opportune time to go and check out pick-your-own farms and farmers markets as well. Sharpen your foraging and plant identification skills while you’re out and about!

If you’re tending a garden, harvest some herbs and investigate what you can make with them. Whether it’s seasoning for meals, homemade botanical products, or just helpful spell ingredients, many herbs and flowers have a plethora of uses. As an exercise, select three plants growing in your yard or garden, research their magical correspondences and botanical properties, and try to think of as many ways as possible to use each one for witchcraft and for practical purposes. For extra credit, pick something native to your area that doesn't appear in the western magical canon and use its' physical, folkloric, and historical associations to create something new!

(Safety Note: Always clean and prepare home-harvested herbs properly before using them for kitchen, bath, or medical preparations. Always be sure to properly identify any wildcrafted or foraged plants. Always consult a doctor before trying an herbal treatment and take all allergies, medications, and pre-existing conditions into account. Please also note that while herbal treatments can be helpful, it can have negative interactions and side effects just like any other medication, and it is not meant to be a replacement for modern medical care.)

Apart from the usual full-moon festivities, I’ve always found this is an excellent time for weather-witching. Summer weather is notoriously fickle, but it is also highly malleable - one recalls that old American Southern epithet of, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.”

If you’re hoping to bring some rain to water your garden or break the back of a heat wave, this may be the time to do it. My personal favorite folk magic ritual for rain-calling involves going outside with a broom and a bucket of water, using the broom to scatter drops of water over your yard, and shouting up to the clouds, “SEE? IT’S NOT HARD!”

Make sure you take local weather patterns into account and try to draw on existing fronts and nearby precipitation to get the desired result. And keep in mind that with weather magic, less is more and one casting is enough. Asking for too much or asking too often can produce undesirable results. And if you manage to make it rain, be sure to collect some for moon water!

If you’re interested in weather-witching, I highly recommend checking out this masterpost by @stormbornwitch for a number of excellent articles and suggestions.

Happy Buck Moon, witches! 🌕🦌

I headcanon Dolph snores loudly when he sleeps and that he is tried a lot so that makes me think he may have sleep apnea. How do you think the rest of the Shishigumi would deal with his sleep apnea / loud snoring. ❤️ Please and thank you, ps love your writing.

Lions' Dealing with Dolph’s Possible Sleep Apnea/Loud Snoring 

I love this idea! 

Sleep Apnea: A sleep disorder that causes people to stop breathing while sleeping repeatedly. Please seek professional advice if you believe you’re experiencing this, this is just a simplified answer from one of my classes!  

Ibuki

He’d be one of the few members that would take charge in addressing Dolph’s sleep, encouraging him to see a doctor or even get him a CPAP machine (device that delivers a steady stream of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep)

If Dolph one day fell asleep in the general headquarters couch and saw he stopped breathing he’d check his pulse or stare at him until he sees him move again. Imagine that one scene in Family Guy where Louis checks Peter’s pulse lol.

He’ll occasionally tease Dolph if it means that he’ll get help (so Ibuki stops bugging him). Also, he probably blames his excess use of cigarettes and alcohol.  

Free

Likely to yell at Dolph to ‘die quieter’ from across the rooms, even though his hypocritical ass snores just as loud as Dolph

He’ll put a sock in Dolph's mouth if he sleeps near him, then realizing that it’s not helping he takes it out and just opts to throw a blanket over his face. Which either Ibuki or Agata take off if they see. 

Even though he’s not showing his concern outright, he’d bring Dolph some over-the-counter medication from an animal they needed a favor from, and leave it by his nightstand.  

Agata

Just like Ibuki, only more worried and less experienced on how to help. His internet searches revolve around ‘Older lion stops breathing throughout the night’ and ‘calming things for older animals to sleep to’. He’d buy Dolph an air purifier for his room.

Although he’s a heavy sleeper, the process of going to bed is what’s hard for him. If Dolph sleeps before him, it will take hours since he can’t ignore the loud snores or the anxiety of Dolph's sudden silence. He’s going to invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to sleep.

He won’t complain to Dolph since he sees how tired he is all the time, and he’ll lowkey be impressed on how soundly he sleeps given the circumstances. 

Miguel

Again, bro sleeps like a rock, he’s one of the members that does not notice Dolph’s snoring/sleep apnea unless he hears him while napping. If he’s able to wake up to Dolph’s snoring, everyone goes to the hospital or local clinic.

He’d get Dolph a weighted blanket to help him sleep more quietly with the extra pressure. Unfortunately, it crushes Dolph once Miguel drops it on him, clearly it wasn’t a ‘little’ weighted. 

He’d start experimenting with sleep smoothies or magnesium pills, thinking that deeper sleep and a better diet would help Dolph quit waking up the others. 

Sabu

Sabu would probably never say a word about the snoring, even if it drives him crazy. He’d quietly relocate to another room without mentioning why, just to escape the noise.

If he can’t leave, he might nudge Dolph onto his side while he’s sleeping, hoping it would reduce the snoring, it doesn’t sadly

Might suggest it could be something supernatural, he’s older and seen a thing or two in his day. Maybe they angered a spirit and that’s why almost everyone’s sleep is being affected. 

Jinma

Bro is tired! He does not want another spot forming from the amount of eye bags he’s getting from waking up in the middle of the night to either Ibuki or Agata going to check on Dolph.  

He starts suggesting that Dolph either has his own room or has it made sound-proof. He cares, but he needs his sleep if he wants to be on his top game in the black market.

Deep down, he’d worry about Dolph’s health and would gently suggest he gets checked out, wrapping it in humor to keep things light 

Dope

Another heavy sleeper but hears enough complaining from Jinma that they both start to investigate doctors or remedies to try and quiet him down

He’d stick up for Dolph (mostly towards Jinma) if anyone complains too harshly, reminding everyone that he’s not doing it on purpose and that there has to be answers or medicine somewhere 

He probably wouldn’t mind the snores if it were just him and Dolph, he finds the background noise helpful and he’s used to more chaotic sounds 

Hino 

Likely the most annoyed by the snoring, especially if it wakes him up, he starts getting passive-aggressive from the lack of sleep until Agata gets him a pair of noise-canceling headphones 

Will join Jinma and Dope on their hunt for an elixir or doctor, finding comfort with Jinma when they both complain about their interrupted/horrible sleep

He might observe Dolph while he sleeps (in a totally creepy way) to figure out exactly when the snoring starts and why. He’s already up, might as well start tracking him

Time traveler: *steps on a butterfly*

The timeline:

For the thousandth time, "system" is and always has been exclusive to people with an actual disorder.

I remember seeing the moment right here on Tumblr when this attempted changeover started. About eight years ago, a user by the name of @water-hen made a post claiming that "system" has been used for over a hundred years to refer to collections of identities that weren't what we now call DID. It was debunked almost immediately, but endos didn't care. That misinformation spread like a flood, and now here we are. Leave terms alone.

#syscourse #terminology turf war

Looks like the memory discourse is starting up again. How many times do I have to go to bat for Grey Faction before you people listen?

#syscourse #memory wars

This marketing job sucks. Sometimes I think I should've gone into teaching.

listen up you fucking newbies. i'm here to set the record straight. this whole "systems are disordered" bullshit? yeah, that's getting old. real fast. like, do you even know what you're talking about? probably not.

if you haven't got years of medical education, actual published papers, and a university friend who's seen you stay up so late it makes their head spin, then shut the fuck up. you're not an expert. you're just stupid. you're just "having a mood". get over yourselves.

i'm tired of seeing these "sysmed" and "plurality positive" debates. there's no debate. there's reality and there's your delusional bullshit. if you're more than one, you're a system. period.

i'm here to call out the science deniers, the trenders, and the attention-seekers. if you don't like it, block me. i don't care. i'm here to protect systems from being deluded by your bullshit.

you want to be part of something? join a fucking book club. stop criticizing an identity you clearly don't understand.

and yeah, i'm busting open the gates with a fucking hammer. someone has to.

#syscourse #systemtalk #discourse #gatekeeping #plurality #sysmed

reminder that "endos" will NEVER be valid!! they are ableist!!

you are wrong :)

FUCK OFF COSMO

womp womp

#syscourse #sysmeds are wrong

You can never know whether someone on the internet is faking, no matter how obvious you think it is. You will never know someone else's full story, especially from just a few social media posts.

#syscourse #anti fakeclaiming

"Tuplas" are the most evil thing that sysblr has ever invented.

Maybe I'm just biased because I was personally affected, but if it's not #1, it's close. I was almost convinced me into the delusion that I had a "headmate". Absolutely disgusting behavior. Sometimes I still think I hear her voice for a second before I snap myself back to reality. This lie has caused unimaginable damage to hundreds of people, at least.

Even leaving aside the obvious ableism of claiming to voluntarily create an alter, you've basically got this group of people at critical mass training each other to go deeper and deeper into psychosis. Sooner or later, they will all be in a psych ward.

Yeah, I got sucked into it for a while too. Really gross that it's still going. It should've died years ago, it's just mass hysteria. I really hope most of them are roleplaying, because genuinely believing it's real causes serious, possibly permanent, psychological damage.

Some great people in my life were able to guide me back to normalcy. Somehow, The Doctor was the easiest to get rid of. Just, poof, gone. I still feel some tension with others I used to believe were there, but at least I can watch one of my favorite shows in peace.

I can't wait for the Stanford Tulpa Study to finally be published so I can dunk on all of your anti bullshit. Your opinion changes nothing, tulpas are real ❤️

That Stanford "Study" is run by abusive nutjobs. They trapped me in a metal tube for an HOUR and ran VERY loud machinery RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEAD!!!

#syscourse #tuplacourse #stanford study

Never got into it. People read and talked about it a lot when I was in school, but the covers always creeped me out too much for me to start.

sysmeds are wrong, cry about it

Just got some excellent new carpet for my living room floor. I love how the color matches our curtains :)

Religious appropriation is just such a fun hobby for y'all, isn't it?

Doesn't even matter which religion, anything is up for grabs!

Equating the Holy Trinity--you know, God, the creator of the Universe, ruler of mankind--to a mental disorder is ridiculous, disgusting, and heresy. Santa Claus won't just fill your stockings with coal, he'll punch you in the face for that.

I could leave it there, but the fakers won't stop, so why should I?

Firstly, it is Church doctrine that the true nature of the Holy Trinity can never be fully understood by us mortals. We can make tentative analogies, but every claim of full knowledge always leads to some kind of heresy. Tritheism, Modalism, Partialism... these are works of the Devil.

And now all these retarded teenagers on the internet with their self-diagnosed multiple personality disorder think they've got it all figured out. They've taken a mental disorder--which as a reminder is itself a corruption of the Devil, and this one particularly so as it blinds the victim to the unity of the soul--and made it their model for the structure of God Almighty. Worse perversion of the Holy Trinity could only be imagined coming from the Satanic Temple itself.

There's been a new wave of insane misinfo from the fakers, so I'm here to clear things up.

"System separation" is not real. Your alters cannot leave your body and materialize in a different one.

Just when the faker community finally seemed like it was starting to die, Noelle's Endo-vasion started this whole new wave of lies.

At least they're more creative now? No, on second thought, I want to go back to when they were boring and textbook. Their creativity would be much better kept on AO3.

The ableist fiction has come back with a vengeance and now I have to spend time explaining that bodies can't materialize out of thin air. The endo propaganda machine just gets more insane with each passing year.

There are several parts to this lie, which I'll tackle point-by-point in the following order:

Alters are separate people.

Alters can go away without fusing.

New bodies can easily materialize.

Anyone can suddenly take on the identity of an alter from another body.

You are right that system separation isn't real, but not in the way you think.

No one believes anything as you described it. The origin of "system separation" was an endo shitpost making an anime reference, and then you sysmeds removed all the context and hallucinated the rest.

We can't say anything without you exclusionists twisting it into a new thing to be angry about, can we? That is a ridiculous word count spent debunking something that never needed to be debunked in the first place.

Because I know you're gonna make me say it anyway, yes, obviously, there is no possible way for a headmate to leave a system and appear in a brand new body. That's ridiculous on its face.

There is no known mechanism to transfer a "headmate" from "headspace" (which is solely a therapeutic technique) to real life.

That's such weird phrasing. "bYe eVeRYoNe!! i'M gONna gO iNtO tHiS rOoM iN hEaDsPaCE aNd mAGiCaLLy aPPeAR iN tHE phYsiCaL wOrLD!!" To call this a strawman would be an undue compliment to its sturdiness. Your thinking is more accurately described as jello.

I walked into the TARDIS as a joke. What the hell happened

And I think I killed an insect too. By mistake of course.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

[arcane-vagabond]

Hey, y’all. Not really sure how to start this, but here goes.

I started using Tumblr in the far off year of 2012, when I was 16. I started off in the Hunger Games fandom right as the movies were coming out, and I made so many amazing friends on here. I eventually moved on to different fandoms, namely SuperWhoLock (The combined fandom of Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock. If you know, you know). There were ups and downs, but fandom was a community I could rely on. Strangers on the internet were supportive of me, even if we weren't necessarily close, people made an avid effort to interact with each other and have conversations with people on here.

I took a break when I started college, trying to navigate my way through my newly aqcuired adult status, and Tumblr kind of fell by the wayside after a while. But, when I left there was still a thriving community in fandom with people interacting with each other, coming up with theories for things, coming up with theories and headcanons about beloved characters. Comments and reblogs were plentiful, and fanfic, fanart, etc. were a two sided conversation. You didn't even have to write fanfic or make fanart in order to get interactions.

I came back a couple of years ago, logging in here and there to lurk and read fanfic on my old blog. I discovered Top Gun: Maverick and felt compelled to write my very first fanfiction: Don't Hang'em Til Noon. I was so excited to share it because I saw that no one else had done a Wild West!AU, and I was excited to share my work and talk about it and the actual movie with people on here. I did find people who were as excited as I was, and that was great. But then I got one of my first anonymous messages.

"You really need to calm down."

Calm down? Why? I thought the whole point of fandom was that we were all excited about this one thing? I was so confused.

I kept writing, and the hate anons kept coming. I was accused of thinking I'm better than everyone on here (why, I still don't understand), I was accused of thinking I run the fandom (probably because I pointed very obvious things out), and more. I take it on the chin usually, but of course words still hurt. This was not what I remembered fandom being like, and I found that the longer I kept doing this, the more it started to feel like a chore versus something I genuinely enjoyed.

I get hundreds of votes in my polls for what to update or what to do next, but the notes and interactions are not reflecting this. I got more interactions as someone who didn't create fan works twelve years ago than I do as a content creator now. The attitude towards fandom has changed.

It's no longer a community, it's a popularity contest. People put down others to make themselves feel better, which was always a thing, but not it's more prevalent. It's become a numbers game, and it shouldn't be. People say that they're too afraid to comment or put themselves out there to talk to creators, but guess what? It's terrifying to put your work out there to be seen by so many people and to be judged. And it's discouraging to see the amount of people who like but won't leave a comment or reblog. Do you actually like it? How am I supposed to know?

Some of you are so jealous of others, that you've let it consume you. You attack me for my AUs, claiming that they're boring and uninteresting, and yet? There are some of you who've seen how invested some people have become with my stories and have tried to emulate them. You're not venturing into AU because you genuinely want to. You're doing it because you see that there's a market for it. You're the same people who mocked me for doing it in the first place.

There's a whole group on here that are so bitter and insecure about their own abilities, that they feel the need to put others down, and I'm not mad. If anything, I feel genuinely sorry for you.

There have always been problems with fandom, but not like this. I don't know if this is all specific to the TGM fandom, but y'all? I'm exhausted. I'm tired of putting so much of myself out there to only here crickets or demands for more. What happened to actual conversation? Waht happened to interacting for the sake of interacting?

I've made some genuinely amazing friends on here, and I talk to them pretty much every single day. However, I need a break from this website. I need to find my love for writing again, and I won't be able to do it on here while things continue to be the way they are. So, this is my long ass way of announcing that I'm officialy going on hiatus for a little while, at least the month. I will be focusing on writing We Abide as an original story the way it was originally intended to be. I will not be on during this time. I will not continue to pressure myself to update for you all when you give me next to nothing in return. And if this makes me the villain? Then so be it.

For those of you who've been a constant source of comfort, laughter, inspiration, etc.? I love you. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful to all of you, and if at the end of my month away I decide to come back, I hope you'll still be here to read what I give.

Until next time.
