Fish-rice integration is exciting. You harvest both fishes and rice on the same land. Do you like it?

Alabasta Ace is so funny.

Like the strawhats keep commenting that Ace is so polite and restrained compared to Luffy but like. This dude drags himself out of the ocean just to thank them for looking after his brother and offer to help wash dishes. Mans asks "Are these guys bothering you?" and proceeds to blow up an entire fleet with his bare hands. He trips over himself to make sure all of Luffy's crew likes him and no, really, you don't mind that he's a weirdo???? That we, I mean he, are feral little insane guys who take up space and emotional labor and are kind hard to handle? Really???? Cool cool cool hey just a reminder I can help out with anything that needs doing. I got lost in the desert but donnut worry in the 0.6 seconds since you last saw me I have somehow acquired water and provisions for several weeks. Don't ask me how!

Peak oldest sibling behavior.

A resource for Californians.

Image transcript: [THIS IS HOW RAPID RESPONSE WORKS:

If you see ICE activity in your community, call your rapid response hotline.

Once you call, legal observers will arrive to document any suspicious activity from ICE.

If there is an arrest, an attorney will provide legal assistance to those affected.

A button at the bottom reads “FIND YOUR LOCAL RAPID RESPONSE NUMBER”] end id.

You can find your local rapid response number here (again, this resource is California-specific, feel free to add other states’ resources in the reblogs, I’m just not aware of any yet).

I recommend adding your county’s number to your phone contacts so that you can pull it up quickly when needed.

Be safe out there, friends. You have people on your side.

Just to round out my complaints I think that the factions have disappointed me the MOST out of this game, more so than any flaws with the character writing and dialogue. They are just each such a microcosm of the failures of the world building or respect for past writing… I know this term is used to death and has a bad reputation in this space specifically but there is no moral grey area with them at all, they are all perfectly noble heroic Paragon groups and it is unbelievably boring, there is so much lost potential with all of them… especially with the groups that ARE historically portrayed as borderline evil like the Crows and often the Wardens… they’re all just plucky freedom fighters or guardians of the innocent and it just is a missed opportunity in the worst way, and glaringly deliberate. There is no nuance to any of them, any flaws that are presented are smoothed away and justified or hand waved as “history” it’s genuinely terrible.

apologies if this is a dumb question and i won't be offended at all if you dont answer/dont know but since you've worked in libraries before i was curious if you knew how to let your library know you're interested in an audiobook they haven't purchased ? i know i used to be able to make requests on overdrive but since the switch to libby i haven't been able to figure it out. i hope youre having a lovely day whether you can help or not and appreciate you taking the time to read all this 💛

sorry for the late reply, i haven't been online much and just saw this! most public libraries will have a form on their website called something like "purchase request" or "suggest a title" that you can use to request things! people often think this is only for books, but most places will let you request audiobooks, DVDs, etc. librarians won't always add the things you request to the collection, and they often can't explain every decision in detail due to volume, so results may vary.

the one thing to be mindful of is that audiobook/ebook licensing can be really weird, and sometimes publishers do make it really difficult or impossible for libraries to license certain items! so if your library doesn't get something you ask for, that sucks and is disappointing, but please don't hesitate to keep sending in requests as you have them! that info is always super helpful for collections folks looking to add things to the library that they think you'll want and use!

a link to how you can access morpho: anatomy for artists (fat and skin folds) for free

lastly this website is also another great reference source but you will have to request permission by the ppl in charge of it in order to gain access first as it's protected

this should be a good starting point and i encourage y'all continue to seek out other sources where you can👍

Dissociating Alone Tips

I know a lot of you are going through shock and dissociation right now, and as someone with a dissociative identity, I know how scary that can be, especially when you're alone. Here are some affirmations and tips for how to deal with that:

-First of all: This is a completely normal reaction. You are in shock. You have every right to be. No one has the right to tell you off for it, that you are over-reacting, or being dramatic, or to just "be fine". Your reaction is valid.

-This is your body protecting you from something unbearable. It's a survival technique. So even though it might feel like everything's ending right now, this is a sign that your body wants to live.

-There are two heavily dissociative trauma responses: Freeze and Collapse. Both immobilise you and will make you go numb, but the difference is that being in Freeze will mean that your muscles are tense, your ears might be ringing, your heart racing, you might be sweating, but you're paralysed (think deer in headlights).

If in Freeze, the way out of it is through Fight or Flight. Try to force yourself to move safely, like walking, jogging, dancing, doing yoga/tai chi, a workout, etc. You could also just try to push against a wall with your arms stretched out with all of your might. Try to get out the trapped energy. This might bring up intense emotions, so make sure you're in a safe place to experience and express them.

-If in Collapse, your muscles will be slack, your heart rate will go down, you might feel cold, faintish, or like your legs are jelly. You can't go through Fight or Flight to get out of Collapse. You're deeply in the parasympathetic nervous system, so the easiest thing is to try to transition into the relaxed version of that (rest state) .

I figured out that the key here is heat. Sit or lie in front of a blazing heating or fire place. Take a hot shower or hot bath. Or get a hot water bottle, put on comfy warm clothes, and wrap yourself up with as many blankets as possible. Try to think of someone or something that makes you feel emotionally warm as well, that is, affectionate/loving. I know it's hard.

It might happen that you start to fall asleep, which is great, because it means you're relaxing. Take a nap. Or just sit/lie like this as long as you need to. Don't try to fight the Collapse state or be angry at it/yourself, that will only make it worse. Your vulnerable inner child is frightened and needs some love and to feel safe. Try to be compassionate with yourself - you might try to hum or softly sing something to yourself, listen to a soothing song, calming nature sounds (like the ocean rushing or birds singing), or an asmr (I recommend a heartbeat, seriously, there's nothing more calming than this).

Of course, if you have a safe person to reach out to, they will be your best coping mechanism. But know that you are worthy of love and safety and feeling good in your skin even if you don't. Hope this helps!❤️

tumblr drinking game where you take a shot every time someone claims not to be antisemitic in the same post as they conflate zionists with jews. good way to get alcohol poisoning. even if they go "it's not antisemitic to criticize zionism because not all jews are zionists!" (fair enough, IF you can phrase your criticism of zionism without couching it in antisemitic language or ideas, which many people cannot seem to manage), the implicit "but all zionists are jews" is (1) categorically not true and (2) just as antisemitic as saying it the other way round.

i need to rant about work don't mind me <3

im so fucking glad i get the next 2 days off, i've been working for 5 days in a row and like im starting to hate everyone and everything. today i checked in a book drop and there was a book with a corner that had clearly been chewed by a dog (or perhaps cat or other small animal) so i had to call the patron and tell them we were gonna charge them for it and they were so fucking angry and insistent that it was someone else's dog and they had seen it when they checked out and i was like "well we have no notes on this and you were the last borrower so i'm sorry but we have to charge you" and they literally hung up on me and like. honestly fuck you!!!!! i don't deserve to be yelled at for simply telling you something you don't wanna hear. IF they were telling the truth, that means multiple of my coworkers fucked up and shouldn't have checked it in or reshelved it last time. personally i think they were lying, but even so like if u see damage on a book before checking it out, it is on you to tell someone that the damage is there before you leave. i know people like the self-checks but this is a really good reason to just go to the circ desk to check stuff out because someone should have caught that. (which is another reason i think their dog probably did do that damage. like do you know how many employees' hands books pass through before they make it back to the shelf? im not saying someone couldn't have damaged it in the library or we all somehow missed it but also come the fuck on. it was from the new shelf too, meaning its actual physical location is about 5 feet from the reference desk where the librarians all take turns sitting. so for real, come the fuck on.) regardless, i just don't deserve to be treated like shit over like $15 and i hope to god i get this new job im interviewing for (this tuesday!) and won't have to do this shit anymore
