#if this helps I can make more examples

[inber]

I really like doing DIY hampers, and someone told me I should share my go-to for a sick loved one. It's good for physical and mental illnesses; it has a mix of practical and fun things, some of which you can make yourself or thrift (at your discretion).

From left to right:

A mug, lemon and ginger tea, and a small jar of (locally sourced if possible) honey.

A soft pair of socks.

Shower steamers for breathing (if the person has a respiratory illness) or for uplifting. If they have a bath, bath bombs.

Disposable no-rinse toothbrushes.

A little hands-on kit eg: dinosaur skeleton puzzle (make sure it is low effort and everything they need is included).

Nice smelling room/pillow spray (you can make this yourself with a clean spray bottle, water, and a few drops of essential oil; lavender and/or peppermint is great).

A few scratch lottery tickets.

Body or baby wipes.

Some trashy magazines (the ones that are like 'I married my cat!' are always fun).

Hydralyte or similar electrolyte supplement.

A large dishwasher safe water bottle (I love Camelbak ones; they are 1.5L/50oz and made with recycled plastic).

Some treats according to your person's preference.

Not pictured, but you could add essentials depending on their illness, eg: paracetamol, ibuprofen, vicks inhaler, aloe tissues.

Obviously this is all budget dependent and you can mix and match. Put your chosen items in a shoebox or basket with some tissue paper and a note, and ta-da! You are a hero!!

I hope this helps or inspires someone. :)

Veilguard vaguing:

It's not automatically a good thing, actually, that the game de-emphasizes or even outright removes racism against elves, and bigotry against other groups, from the story

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.

if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

Everytime I see discourse about kink or nudity at pride I get reminded of the time I went to pride a few years ago with my mother and my sibling- who was 17 at the time and is somewhere on the ace spectrum- and about halfway through, the march went under a gatehouse. Some inhabitants were sitting in their open windows watching the parade. Right before we crossed under them, one of them decided to just... take her shirt off. She wasn't wearing a bra. And you know what happened? People whooped and cheered, and then kept walking. That's it. And there were kids around!! They didn't care. My sibling didn't care. My mother, a cisgender heterosexual woman in her 50s, did not care.

This stuff stops being such a big deal when you go offline. It was basically the same amount of boob you'd see in any perfume ad. No one was like 'what about the children?' And if you didn't wanna see it and looked down, no one would've called you a puritanical prude for that. And it helps to remind myself of that everytime I see kink at pride discourse getting rehashed because at actual pride, people don't care.

i feel like im obligated to remind everyone that the time we see the characters spend with saiki on screen isnt the ONLY time they spend together,,, i just see a lot of people take their screen time very literally and assume that this is the case despite it being heavily implied that it isnt, and im not entirely sure why but i can guess that it may be because of the assumption that saiki genuinely hates his friends (i do also see people doing this with specific characters they dont like or that they have a specific agenda for, which i think is them being like "i feel a certain way about them, therefore saiki the narrator who gave me all the information that made me feel this way about them must not like them" which i dont really have a problem with (its just an hc) until they start arguing with people that their hc is the only right answer and saiki canonically hates that person or is only around them when forced to be LOL)

yumehara and teruhashi immediately recognize "kurikos" eating manner as saikis despite us never seeing him eat in front of them, kaido + nendo + kuboyasu bribe saiki for his homework with coffee jelly because they know hes obsessed with it despite us seeing no on-screen reason for them to know that (we do see a bit later that he walks home with them every day and he stares at coffee jelly every single time though LOL), and mera talks about saiki spending a lot of money at her workplace despite us only seeing her and him there at the same time once before..

saiki does not succeed at avoiding them, and in fact is probably not even trying to most of the time LMAO he loves those idiots. dearly.

the people i see the least true implications of him spending off-screen time with are actually, weirdly enough, the other two psychics. this doesnt necessarily mean to take that at face value and assume he DOESNT spend as much time with them, but its interesting i feel... please correct me if im wrong though cuz i would love to see more examples of these kinds of implications, for any characters actually!

I think another aspect of conservative thought people need to understand is the idea that it's all about dominance.

The reason why sayings like "we don't want to trans your kids, we want trans kids to live" is because, in the conservative mind, you are replacing their dominance with your own. It can never be about what is best for others, it is always about expressing absolute power and control.

Natural selection, at its ideal, will weed out the people who "shouldn't live." If their existence is a threat to the already-established hierarchy, then it's obvious that they shouldn't exist in order to challenge hierarchy.

While this certainly isn't a "conservative-only" mindset, it's a trend I have noticed more in conservative spaces. This is why I don't always think it's helpful to go on about how, "Oh, we don't want to threaten your worldview. We just want people to live 😊". You will fundamentally be threatening their power in their minds. Therefore, nothing you say can truly take away from the anxiety, fear, and anger at losing control that may be instilled.

I know how it sounds at first, but I really gotta feel bad for the boys that sacrificed edwin; I mean even the term “sacrificed edwin” paints them in a more sinister light than they really deserve– considering that wasn’t really, actually their intention.

they were bullies, they were homophobic (and/or were self loathing gay boys themselves taking it out on edwin, or were equally likely peer pressured into acting a certain way), they planned something stupid and mean to do to an innocent, anxious boy with the goal of scaring the shit out of him, all because he was effeminate and an easy target. but they didn’t know or expect any of the ritual stuff to be real. they were all laughing and joking during the ritual because it was just that to them– a joke. a cruel joke, but a joke.

teenagers can be mean and stupid and they usually regret it as adults and grow out of it / grow from it. they were stifled the chance to grow out of it, at least while alive. none of those boys deserved to be instakilled and sent to hell; they’re really not that much less deserving than edwin himself. they were all just kids, after all.

it's tough that a lot of little but important things to dungeon meshi characterisations are all over the place and not the most easily accessible

[arttsuka]

I don't know who needs to hear this but going to someone's post just to comment 'wow great work! Check out my stuff too!' is not very nice...

If it's something relevant it's ok but trying to make others check your account out like that? No. Do it the old way. Draw a bunch of fanart or something like we all do.

Thank you.

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

From Chapter 573

Specifically the panel where Conan reflects on Toichi's line about him declaring himself to be the younger brother (I believe The Million Dollar Pentagram reveals Yuusaku is the younger twin, but that aside...)

I don't 100% know what other obvious hint aside from Chapter 1120 where Kaito speculates he and Conan share a common ancestor.

Amazon getting along with predominantly kids, at least in the first 13 episodes or so, and in fact having probably his most important side character be a child in Masahiko is a really interesting choice to make for the sort of character Amazon is. Amazon is an adult, he’s still somebody deserving of autonomy or respect (like everyone does including kids but you get what I mean), he doesn’t have a “childlike” worldview really, but he is still someone who due to intense culture shock and growing up without other humans around him, is not Used to the world that people his age deal with daily. He doesn’t understand at least initially the whole song and dance adults do, and they are often people who actively don’t WANT to recognise his perspective and get pissed off because he's not fitting into their preconceptions. Whilst kids can still be cruel, they are often times much more respectful of Amazon and are much more open to the idea of just accepting him for like, Who He Is, and going along with it, or trying to help him navigate a confusing and often extremely cruel world. I don’t think it’s meant to be infantilising, and I think through Masahiko especially, I think the idea is that a youth like him is generally more kinder and empathises better with Amazon's situation- being a child, apart of a group often looked down upon, and which also have to navigate and learn the same scary world- and that through Masahiko, Amazon has a safer and more reliable way of being able to familiarise himself with a world he isn’t accustomed to and to be able to slowly feel more and more comfortable.

You know, I think many people understand the idea that disability can be a social problem, even construct, in that as more visibility man lead to more accommodations and even educate (regardless of accuracy), but not that disability can still disable regardless of society. Many people understand the idea of a social construct so long as there is still a consise understanding of the social construct, with little wriggle room for nuance and discussion.
