If anyone relates to this even just a little bit, then I'm so sorry.

Take Your Pills: Xanax (Blair Foster, 2022)

[elimar1210-blog]

No soy un puto TROFEO !

Cuantas veces escuche a mi madre decir que hiciera lo posible para que los hombres se esforzaran en tenerme, que no fuera fácil, que yo debía ser un premio, un trofeo 🏆

Ustedes que hacen con los premios? Ustedes que hacen con los trofeos? Que busca uno al querer ganar un trofeo?

Esta es la puta realidad NADIE en sus 5 sentidos quiere ser un premio NI MUCHO MENOS un trofeo, y con esto no estoy invalidando la intención de mi madre en querer hacerme más deseable o interesante, incluso hasta más apetecible, sin embargo, hoy a mis 34 años eso no ha servido para ni puta mierda !

A ver, conceptualicemos un poco, TROFEO: "De acuerdo con la Real Academia Española (RAE), un trofeo es un objeto que se entrega como señal de victoria o triunfo, especialmente en una competición" y PREMIO: "Según la Real Academia Española, un premio es una recompensa, galardón o remuneración que se otorga por un mérito o servicio"; ahora en términos coloquiales TROFEO: "Según yo, elemento o cosa que obtienes tras una competencia, lo pones en un estante o lugar que arreglaste para él y luego te preparas para ir a buscar ganarte un trofeo mucho mejor porque aumente tu espíritu competitivo", PREMIO: "Según yo, lo que obtienes como recompensa cuando tu suerte está de tu lado, lo usas o utilizas por un tiempo y luego deja de ser atractivo para ti"

Quien en sus cinco sentidos quiere ser un TROFEO o quien quiere ser un PREMIO?

Solo quien alcanza a ver la realidad entiende que cuando se obtiene alguno de los dos, la atención se da por corto tiempo y luego se crea la sensación de que ya lo ganaste, ya lo obtuviste, YA LO TENGO, ya es mio, ya nadie me lo quita y ahí lo pongo, ahí está y de ahí no se mueve, y jugamos en esa dinámica hasta que perdemos el brillo y dejamos de ser llamativos... No te condenes por favor, no seas ese trofeo, no seas ese premio, si quieres mi consejo aunque se que no lo estas pidiendo, NO seas el PUTO trofeo! Prefiero no ser el premio mayor, el que genera la adrenalina la impulsividad y se va rápido, no se que putas quiero ser, pero quiero que el esfuerzo sea muto qué los premios y los trofeos sea lo que se pueda construir, lo que se pueda obtener a partir de, de por si yo soy el PUTAS y me lo creo, y no soy inalcanzable de echo me alcanzan unas cosas que ay por dios, pero si soy la reflexiva, la que no quiere seguir repitiendo, la que se canso de ser "exclusiva" para que no llegue cualquiera y que cuando lleguen pierdan todo el verraco interes...

No se como te sientas tu pero por favor tu NO eres el PUTO premio y NO eres el PUTO TROFEO! Mira mi espejo y no cultives más nostalgias y melancolías por favor...

every time a fat person is recorded without consent for use in health related documentaries as their way of saying “look at THIS fuckin idiot wrecking their body” an angel explodes and dies .violently

[charbroiledchicken]

you know its time to close google docs when your writing becomes a little too personal and, god forbid, reveals things about yourself that you didn't wanna unpack until you were famous enough to have a documentary.

anyways: "I tried. I promise I did.” She wiped at her eyes with the cloth so roughly she thought they might bleed. “I was getting better, I promise. But now I’ve gone and fucked it all up.”

Apparently my post about content warnings yesterday included enough key words to trigger the AI Tumblr mental health bot

Mental health apps are dicey to begin with but they get much dicier when you start connecting people experiencing mental illness via chat function.

A few years ago at my day job we received a project proposal for a youth mental health app, which the applicant thought would cost less than $10,000 to develop. Their app would connect isolated young people in rural and regional areas who were interested in mental health topics so that they could support each other via text chat, based on their location. It even suggested having them be able to flag their interest in specific topics, like being a member of the LGBTIQA+ community.

A few older colleagues thought this sounded like a good idea, but I, being annoying in the way that I’m annoying, started asking questions like:

How do we moderate the app?

How do we make sure users don’t just get the app in order to bully vulnerable young people?

If it’s based on location, couldn’t one user use two phones to triangulate where another user lived?

Are we sure that connecting isolated people based on nothing but having depression in common is a good idea?

If it’s for isolated young people, how do we prevent them from using it as a dating service?

How do we prevent scamming?

How do we prevent users from outing young LGBTIQA+ people who live in rural areas and are experiencing mental illness?

How do we prevent the app from becoming a dating service for people over 18 interested in accessing vulnerable teenagers?

How do you collect age data from a population who might not have driver’s licenses?

Hey, what sort of data security does less than $10,000 buy, anyway?

It was good to ask those questions because the people proposing the project had of course not thought to ask them at all, which proved that it wasn’t an achievable project with any meaningful outcomes. (When a budget is “$10,000: app development,” you already know people don’t know what they’re talking about.) However, the final nail in the coffin may have been when I started referring to the project as, “oh yeah, the suicide pact app?”

Anyway. I’m sure nothing could possibly go wrong with Kokobot because OF COURSE the missing piece of that proposed project was an AI chatbot,

Keep an eye out for the upcoming documentary on endometriosis, Below the Belt, set to show on PBS later this year.

Read more about it:

The film has received great reviews so far because it shows viewers the root of the problem but also offers solutions. The two-hour film is available for download for roughly $10.

I wish the episodes for that slenderverse documentary were shorter. I do not have the ability to sit and watch for that long.

I sat with writer Berklie Novak-Stolz (@icaruspendragon) to discuss celebrity fandom and the benefits that parasocial relationships can have (as there are quite a few, I have found).  

This is the part of our conversation wherein I asked them the most obvious question on the face of the planet (how she became a fan of Misha Collins).

Human milk has the lowest protein content ever in any species ever tested. I mean, that's the fluid that's been designed by evolution over millions of years. So, it's like the perfect food for human babies. Right? Perfect food. Lowest protein content [than] any other mammal. And so, it gives us a sense of our protein requirements more than anything.

You know my feelings on California’s orca law, but if it keeps Corky safe, then it might be worth it.

I think one of the worst feelings in the world is when you're just trying to give your input/your opinion on something and people think you just wanna sound smart or be a know-it-all
