#and asking for help

[labelleizzy]

Hey Check Please family,

I was actually tickled to death, when postcards to swing states sent me a packet of postcards to send to Georgia. And I think of our boy Eric Bittle every so often as I'm writing these things!

I would love to have a recommendation for a fic to read as a reward for finishing doing another batch of postcards I have written 100 so far and I have 200 total to go.

Have you written, or do you recommend, a story set in Georgia or with Eric's parents as an important part of the story, in which his parents are accepting, loving, and willing to change their mind if they had trouble with him being gay in the first place?

This is actually a lot of work. And I have to mail out for October 24th. I'm going to actually go get acetaminophen and an ice pack for my hand pause for a little while cuz my arms are starting to hurt

There's something so awful about being absolutely insane about your own character. *Especially* when that character is being used in a ttrpg so you don't even have full and complete control of the story, nor can you easily write it out and publish it for other people.

Malan just had the second worst day of their life and it was devastating and only 7 people were there to witness it

We won't be able to play again till August, which means I get to just sit here, holding my precious baby boi in my hands, and just *thinking*

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

being someone who's passionate about their interests when you're a horror fan really is a special layer of hell because every interaction you have with another person where the conversation turns to your hobbies and personal entertainments is a trial where if you show too much unrepentant glee at getting an opportunity to talk about your preferred subject you get to watch them mentally move you onto their list of untrustworthy individuals to avoid in the future in real time

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

if you were at your worst, if you’re a villain or a screwup or whatever, there is a goth man dressed as a giant bat who keeps coming after you, bothering you. he sabotages your journey of self destruction over and over. ur ready to give up but he won’t let you. you think, today he won’t come. today he will give up on me too. he never does.

Hello, I’ve shared your post from your blog and urge people to donate 🙏 I pray that Allah will bring relief soon. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share.

this reminds me to ask. Hey, folks who get stuck with executive dysfunction, specifically movement initiation (like when you're trying to get up to, idk, get the ice cream you want for dessert)?

Can you do me a favor? Next time you're stuck, try wiggling your toes and then trying to Get Up To Do The Thing and tell me whether or not it helps?

I have some half assed ideas about why this might work revolving around the possibility of being able to use smaller motions to build up the dopaminergic tone in the striatum of the brain. That's a major structure involved in both motivation and movement, both of which dopamine interact powerfully with. And it does seem to be useful for me, at least. But I can't figure out if that's some internal belief thing on my end or something more generally applicable, and I would love some help figuring out if this is useful for other people.
