when u go to write a mentally ill person in ur story you are presented two options. the first option is to write your mental illness realistically as you actually experience it with all the ups and downs and people who are like you will resonate with it and feel seen. except every person who reads instagram infographics on mental health that uses the phrase narcicisst for anyone who does anything that crosses them and unironically call themself a dark empath will call you scary and tell you that youre demonizing mentally ill people

the second option is to lie and write inspiration porn for those people to get hard to

one of the things I think about when it comes to speculating on how jon relates to queerness is the "they appear to be a man, or at least male-presenting" line from mag 74. this isn't the author's voice and values intruding on the character's voice because no other character talks like that, and leitner is a man so it doesn't matter much in the end, this is just how jon specifically approaches gendering strangers when he's making notes for his own use. imo that sounds like a guy who has spent a fair amount of time in queer social spaces and knows a few trans and gnc people.

public service message that thinking "Maybe speaking up about Palestine is too controversial/political for me to do" or "maybe mentioning good aspects about Palestinians while they're suffering so much is not okay" is exactly the kind of mindset zionists want you to have and have been hard at work for years for people to develope. thank you.

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.

The Importance of Outdoor Games For Youth

In the era of globalization and digital distractions, encouraging young people to engage in outdoor activities has become more crucial than ever. Beyond traditional exercises, outdoor games like basketball, archery, and baseball play a significant role in fostering physical, mental, and social development in the youth. There are 5 benefits of outdoor activities that can bring to young individuals overall well-being and growth.

1. Physical health: Outdoor games provide an opportunity for young people to be physically active and participate in activities that promote cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, coordination, and overall physical health. Moreover, outdoor games offer a fun and exciting way for young people to stay active, making it more likely for them to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout their lives.

2. Mental well-being: Spending time outdoors and participating in games can have a positive impact on mental health. It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, and helps improve mood and self-esteem. The exposure to natural environments has been linked to increased feelings of happiness and relaxation. The open spaces and fresh air offer a therapeutic environment that aids in clearing the mind and reducing mental fatigue.

3. Cognitive development: Outdoor games often involve problem-solving, strategy, and critical thinking. Young people learn to navigate challenges, make decisions, and adapt their strategies in dynamic and changing environments. These experiences foster cognitive skills and enhance their learning abilities in the future. Such mental challenges help young people to making them more adept at tackling various academic and life challenges.

4. Social skills: Participating in outdoor games with peers helps young people develop important social skills, such as teamwork, communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. They learn to interact with others, make friends, and collaborate effectively.These interactions are essential for developing social skills and building lasting friendships.

5. Reduced screen time: In today's digital age, young people may spend excessive time on screens (TV, computers, smartphones, etc.).Outdoor activities provide a healthy and enjoyable alternative, reducing sedentary behavior and its associated negative effects and this can have positive effects on their sleep patterns, mental health, and overall well-being.

In summary, outdoor activities and games are not only enjoyable but also essential for the holistic development of young people. By providing opportunities for physical exercise, these activities contribute significantly to their overall well-being, fostering a generation of healthier, happier, and well-adjusted individuals.

Please pay attention to campaigns that are set up with the goal of rebuilding lives in Gaza. Gaza is not gone. Gaza won't be a ghost town for the occupation to set up their settlements in. When you ignore campaigns that explicitly state that they aim to rebuild lives back in Gaza, you are giving credibility to those nasty beach resort ads, Isn'treal had the audacity to air. I don't want to romanticize because it is dehumanizing in itself but do you know how much hope, how much strength there is in setting up a campaign that is explicitly stating " This money is going to go to rebuilding my life back in Gaza. " Don't disrespect it in this way, don't disrespect these campaigns.

Donate to @siraj2024 at least go through his blog. Go through his fundraiser. Boost! This is tumblr, the stupidest shitposts go viral and we can't get Siraj out to the wide number of people on here?? Help him keep his hope. Help him in rebuilding his life in Gaza. 10k that is all he is asking for his short term goal. Please help. Help.

I like the idea of Sonic being just as heroic as he is selfish - cuz the core motivation for half of what he does when in regards to Eggman and the world or whatever is going on at the time is cuz he himself enjoys those adventures, and not because he feels some sort of selfless obligation over his natural abilities to do anything that he does.

no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!
