THATS HOW I FELT SEEING *YOU*

”I’m not anti grass I’m anti lawn”

Maybe I’m getting old but I dig this. Once I first learned of invasive species I never liked the manicured lawn again. Was around the age I stated to learn how new a concept it was too, and how disconnected it makes us in other ways. Kill your lawn, plant native species and talk to your neighbors and other people walking across your yard to their destination

Percakapan dengan umi saat pulang ke rumah beberapa hari lalu:

Ais: mi, lulusku paling cepat itu Maret 2025. Tapi aku bisa daftar S2 masih 2026, lama banget, ya.

Umi: oh, ya bisa nikah dulu kan ya berarti?

Ais: hmmmm....

Umi: kamu kenapa sih, kamu ngga mau nikah apa gimana?

Ais: aku tu bukannya ngga mau nikah, aku juga mau. Aku cuman.... gatau deh

Umi: jangan sampe kayak ... ngejar karir terus sampe lupa nikah, trus keburu berumur

Ais: aku tu bukan karena ngejar karir, aku tu takuuuttt .....

Umi: ...

Ais: ...

Dua pekan ini aku sedang magang di rutan. Kalau dulu aku punya pikiran bahwa aku lebih siap jadi ibu daripada jadi istri, sekarang tidak. Menjadi keduanya, aku belum siap. Cerita-cerita di rutan bikin aku termangu dan banyak berpikir tentang gimana nanti membesarkan anak. Bisa jadi keluarga kami bisa membentengi dia, tapi saat dia berbaur dengan lingkungan, we never know what will happen. Maka benar kata pepatah "it takes a village to raise a child". Bukan hanya ibu. Bukan hanya ayah ibu. Tapi juga lingkungan sosial.

Kalau dari teori Ekologi Bronfenbrenner, ada beberapa lapisan sistem yang mempengaruhi seseorang. Sistem pertama adalah mikrosistem, sesiapa yg dekat dengan individu tersebut: peer group, keluarga, sistem sekolah. Mikrosystem adalah sistem terdekat yang dengan mudah dapat memberi pengaruh pada individu. Dilanjut dengan mesosystem, yakni bertemunya dua atau lebih mikrosystem, misalnya saat keluarga datang ke sekolah untuk ambil raport, atau saat keluarga berinteraksi dengan lingkungan sekitar. Selanjutnya yaitu exosystem, adalah sistem di mana individu ngga terlibat langsung, tapi punya cukup pengaruh buat dia, contohnya kebijakan" di tempat kerja orang tua. Lalu sistem yang lebih besar adalah macrosystem, bagaimana kepercayaan dan nilai-nilai dalam suatu daerah memengaruhi individu. Dan yang terakhir, chronosystem, yaitu dimensi waktu, misalnya adalah generasi yang hidup pada masa perang, tentu berbeda dengan generasi kini. Dan, kita tau tidak semua sistem ada dalam kontrol kita :)

Selama belajar psikologi, mempelajari teori ini adalah hal yang menyenangkan karena membuat sudut pandang lebih luas lagi.

Ah tapi kembali lagi ke topik, tentu saja sekarang aku masih takut untuk menikah. Dan sepertinya aku tau alasannya. Karena hati dan perasaanku blm cukup jernih untuk bersama orang lain. Selain denganmu, aku blm siap. halaah....

Aisy, 22 tahun.

Cat people are actually the worst yeah sure its annoying when someone goes hEs a PiT nOt staffy but at least dog people arent happy to let their dogs free roam the streets and get grabbed by disgusting humans, hit by a car or trash exosystems “he gets upset if i dont let him out��� well boohoo its that or when ur cat comes back tortured bc some teens found it i wont show you sympathy. Ill have sympathy for the CAT your were suppose to protect and failed bc its YOU who is failing these cats

[beingatoaster]

anyway my actual thoughts on the fandom commenting/reblogging/engagement Discourse are, disclaimer, highly colored by me being a natural "write for myself" person by sheer inner nature, but a) it's natural to like/want positive feedback, b) that said some of these posts I see are just "I'll post the next chapter once I get X reviews!" FFNers in a new format, and c) they never would have survived the Geocities webring exosystem. either that or it would be good for them. that's about it

[vifetoile]

Certainly a normal response to a mild question

For the record, I commented saying “the author is unfairly maligned, the Cormoran Strike books are good, and they’re always checked out at my local library,” adding that the books resemble the works of Dickens imo in that they’re about a whole social exosystem within a bustling metropolis, just as much as they’re mysteries.

These were the comments I got:

Reddit is a strange place.

And lastly, to the OP, “oh you sweet summer child…”

[same-pic-of-the-earth-everyday]

just wanted to let you know

i really appreciate your existence

(and the fact that you put up with us mortals treading on your soil every day)

you are loved <3

i hope one day we will all learn to take care of you the same way you take care of us

I don't really think about how you feel on me. You're practically so small that I don't even notice you! It's like how humans don't feel the bacteria on them :)

And with the bacteria analogy I think you are kind of like bacteria. Some of you are helpful and actually support my exosystems and some of you exploit me. Good and bad bacteria. There always will be the bad stuff, but I just hope that the good stuff will increase.

I always got the sense that Berocedes are a part of the pack, but in their own unit. Idk how familiar you are with Twilight, but it's like when Edward and Bella get married and have their own house and live by themselves, but they still are part of the larger family. That's how I see Brocedes, especially after they become in-laws with Maxiel+Michael. Like they are their own family, but they exist within the larger pack exosystem. Does Daniel acknowledge Brocedes as a part of the pack

Yes I love this take!!! They're part of the extended pack, they can come by anytime, they are always welcome.

I don't think Nico or Lewis actually want a proper pack, but being associated with one like that is perfect for them. Especially after Leah and Isa get together, they are closer than ever.

Yo I'm Chrys I'm from Johto and I guess I have a tumblr blog now. I made one of these when I was like,,, 12 but I have a new one now Hi. I love my pokemon a lot and will probably post a bunch of images of them. I AM NOT A SHINY HUNTER. JUST BECAUSE I OWN TWO DOES NOT MEAN I SUPPORT DESTROYING LOCAL EXOSYSTEMS.

ooc stuff here. this is an rp blog where pokemon are real so big unreality warning. follows come from @catholicvriska and I also run @redwoodrevival hi

only rules are im a minor both in and out of character so be wary of that. be normal please.

also sentient pokemon are like… okay??? i dont follow that for the most part but chrys runs on the assumption that tumblr is the same for multiple universes and doesnt care even though her universes pokemon arent usually sentient

His Development

In Bronfenbrenner's theory there are 5 systems. Arthur struggled with the microsystem which reflects in the experiences he had growing up as a child. According to Pomerantz, “We are born with certain personality characteristics (nature), but those characteristics are affected by powerful experiences (nurture)” (Pomerantz, 808). This reigns true in the case of Joker as well. He was developed due to the flaws in the “nurturing of Arthur Fleck”. He was adopted by Penny Fleck, who raised him in an abusive home. He wasn’t properly cared for and wasn’t placed in an environment that was supportive of his social, cognitive and emotional development. According to the film, Penny not only denied Arthur but allowed his abuse at the hands of her boyfriend. This led to an incident where Arthur was left with a major brain injury that contributed to his mental condition. His adoptive mother growing up was his immediate environment, and what she taught him was that he was a happy boy meant to be alone. The abuse and trauma resulted in his lack of ability to attach to others portraying traits of being a narcissist/ sociopath. This led to Arthur being used to being alone, contributing to his severe depression depicted in the film. That along with the mistreatment he receives from society is what made him resort to this side of himself, Joker, that gives society that same negative energy back.  Urie B. would agree that Arthur displays the theory of the 5 systems. The complex (abusive/ mentally manipulative) relationship with his mother impacted the way Arthur thinks and acts. “Early on as a young child,  he clearly sided with his aggressor (his mother), while she neglected him and let others abuse him. Instead of being angry, he found it more adaptive to align with her, nurture her, and be her caretaker” (Puder, p. 17). Urie would assess that the scene where Arthur finds out the truth about his mother’s lies and his childhood, clearly gives that turning point where his mind shifted the behaviors and thinking he was taught. This is where his actions start to be irrational and he drops this expectation of acting as if nothing was wrong with the way society treats each other. 

Effectiveness or validity of Bronfenbrenner’s theory

This theory is effective in capturing the complex interplay between an individual and their environment. For a character like Arthur Fleck in the film. His development is shaped by immediate family dynamics, social interactions, and the larger societal context of Gotham City in the 1900s. His microsystem that is characterized by an abusive mother and a lack of supportive relationships greatly impacts his mental health/ sense of self. The exosystem, including societal neglect and poverty, contributes to his feelings of isolation as well as emptiness. Bronfenbrenner’s theory is a good fit of assessing Arthur’s psycho-development because it dissects these different systems and have essentially overlapped in his life leading to the violent, chaotic interactions he has with his immediate and external environment. His interactions within the microsystem lead to the shaping of his behavior in the macrosystem then to breaking himself down into Joker. Where the theory lacks is in incorporating how Arthur influences himself with his internal conflicts and desires.His identity wasn’t only shaped by his interactions with other systems. It was also shaped by his economic position, the location (Gotham City). A more interconnected theory would be better to assess his complex character as Arthur and as Joker.

[mobpsyche100]

Urie Brofenbrenner created an ecological theory, that one's individual psyche works in layers. Those layers being the individual, the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the macrosystem, and the chronosystem.

And I believe that One's Mob Psycho 100 provides a fantastic lens in some of these layers, and showcases how they affect someone and they way they live their life.

Mob Psycho 100 follows the story of Shigeo Kageyama, or Mob. He's a 14 year old middle school boy who lives in Seasoning City. He's an extremely shy and reserved child, with little friends or athletic ability. He also just so happens to be an incredibly adept psychic.

Mob's story is a rather self-contained one. He wants to improve himself, both for himself, and Tsubomi Takane, this girl he's had a crush on since middle school. Mob Psycho 100 is a perfect showcase of the individual, the Microsystem, the Macrosystem, and the Chronosystem.

Mob lives in a general modern day, maybe in the year 2012. It is not explicitly stated. He lives in a suburban neighborhood with two parents and a little brother. All things considered, he's lived a fairly normal life.

Or at least, that's how he sees it. Despite his immense psychic ability, he doesn't find himself very remarkable. He believes his power doesn't make him better than anyone else, and he wants to do what he can to be the best version of himself he can be. In the sense of the individual, he doesn't find himself very remarkable. He's average sized, average grades in school, and below average physical skill. Based on what his society and time period would deem a cool young man, otherwise known as the *macro,* he doesn't view himself very highly.

This is in stark contrast to two people in his immediate life: Reigen Arataka, his mentor/boss, and Ritsu Kageyama, his little brother.

Mob's parents are supportive and care for him dearly, but they aren't fully able to relate to him and understand his struggles and emotions. This is not the case for Ritsu, as he is always checking in on Mob. From an outsider's point of view, he is everything Mob isn't. He's athletic, smart, talented, and charismatic. Because of all of this, Mob looks up to Ritsu, and admires him for all he's been able to accomplish. Reigen is an almost daily force in Mob's life, who calls him out of the blue whenever he wants to get Mob's help for a job. While Mob does get paid very little and his time can be waisted by Reigen constantly, Mob has the one thing that Reigen needs: Again, his psychic powers. Reigen works a mostly scam service as a spirit consultant, and Mob is the only real reason his business stays afloat when any real spirits or demons are around. Reigen directly relies on Mob because of his powers.

Mob thinks in basically the opposite way though. As he both looks up to his brother and Reigen. Mob wishes he could be more like his brother, and be more open with the people around him. And Reigen, to Mob, is always helping other people, and has been Mob's "master" for years now. Reigen is a mentor figure Mob's eyes, and he's looked up to him since he was a little kid.

Mob, though he doesn't actively acknowledge it or maybe even realizes it, directly opposes the way his microsystem sees him. Everyone important to him in his immediate life (barring his parents) sees him as this incredible kid with nigh infinite talent. But he thinks differently. This is because of Reigen, who taught him as a little kid that one's true strength comes from kindness, and from being a good person. Mob took this lesson to heart, and as he grew older, tried to improve himself beyond his own powers.

In fact, Mob almost despises his own powers.

See, Mob is a slightly troubled kid. He views his powers as a curse, something that holds him back. The reason he is so shy and reserved is because of the way his powers used to hurt those he cared about when he was younger. It's why he seeked out Reigen in the first place, Because he thought Reigen could help him control his powers. And while Reigen did teach him many things, this was not one of them. As such, Mob had to face his powers and what they caused on his own. Due to his powers being tied directly to his emotions, they can explode when Mob loses too much control. And since he bottle up his emotions all of the time, this can happen often. Mob spent years actively fighting against his emotions, his individual, due to the fear of hurting someone.

And this fear eventually leads to him going berserk, and putting everyone in the city's life at risk. But it's Reigen who is able to stop this rampage. By being completely honest to Mob about who he is, about how much of a liar he's been to Mob, finally admitting to himself and Mob what he is, that Mob is able to finally accept his individual. He is able to confront his emotions, and do the one thing he's been trying to hard to work up the courage to do -

Ask Tsubomi out on a date.

....and he was rejected.

And he cried.

But this is Mob at his most vulnerable. Both to us, the audience, and the cast. This is Mob finally showing his emotions.

And he continues on. With the support of his Microsystem. Those at his school, his brother, and his mentor, he learns to show his emotions more, and be more open.

Mob's story throughout the three season show is ultimately only a small step in the young boy's life. The way he sees himself in society's eyes only changes a little, but it does change. He *does* improve and he *does* become someone he can be a little more proud of.

Despite what the macro made him believe, Mob, through the help of the micro, is able to realize himself as the individual. And it's because of them that he's able to take another step forward in his life, and finally laugh.

Also going to add that not all deserts are a bad thing. They're exosystems too. While in some cases (mabye this one) greening deserts is resortation, in other cases greening deserts is a form of environmental destruction (just look at the south western United States).

If you see someone talking about making a landscape green you have to find out if it actually is supposed to he green.

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

So - we actually have a complex and virile exosystem of sex tags lol. Sticky is human-style genitals. Penis, vagina, asshole, ect. Usually this involves all transformers having at least A Hole (port or valve are both common terms) and A Shaft (spike) but sometimes they get gendered? Very commonly all TFs have the same configuration of bits in sticky, though. Wireplay is still penetrative, but now using more technological parts - frequently ports and cables, but other terms may be used. Pleasure is often described as data being transferred or electricity being passed along.

Both of those may include Tactile - pleasure transmitted through the touching of non-sexual body parts. For example, touching sensor arrays or plating.

Then there's Sparkplay, which is them touching souls together. Sometimes sexual, sometimes reproductive, often a romantic trope rather than just a porny one.

And, of course, EM/Fieldplay - the use of a mech's electromagnetic field to stimulate another mech within that field, or the stimulation of another mech's EM field. This used to be called Tactile, and sometimes still is?

All of those have their own little tag families, which are not mutually exclusive. Interfacing is a very commonly used blanket term to cover all sex between transformers. Human sex is usually grouped under sticky, but I believe there are specific terms to exclude/indicate it, too. It's not as common... or at least it wasn't the last time I was reading a lot of TF smut.

thinking about that post of people assuming ao3 has an algorithm and also about how bonkers persistent the view is that ao3 is social media lite. like with startling regularity I get comments saying something along the lines of "it's probably weird to comment on a fic this old--" no it isn't!!!! this is an archive I am literally just assuming you searched for a selection of specific tags or sorted by kudos or looked back on my pseud or any other number of completely normal ways to use an archive site ?? kill the tiktok ghost in your brain and comment on old stuff it's NOT weird
