#is making that statistic go up

[teenagefeeling]

re: last reblog i can't help but feel like the way more common disorders like anxiety and depression tend to get trivialized as "less severe" or "less disabling" also pushes young people to self-dx with other disorders in order to be taken more seriously

So i been slowly watching some Sonic X with me bro and I have some hcs—

1. Sonic seems to love the Chao + classic Sonic low-key mute + Chao don't really speak with words = Sonic grew up around/was raised by Chao

2. Sonic can't stand being trapped indoors without a clear escape route and is just fine sleeping under the stars or in a cave or up in a tree, but Tails needs a home so maybe Sonic and the Chao build a house for him to stay in. Sonic rarely stays in it himself but he does stay to take care of him for the first few years (Tails does not really remember most of this.)

3. Sonic learns to talk solely so he can talk to Tails

4. Once Tails is old enough (i.e can reach the counter and make himself food,) Sonic mostly leaves him to his own devices and goes back to his adventuring with the wind. The older Tails gets the more often Sonic dissappears randomly but he always comes back to check on his lil bro and likes to nap in the hammock Tails made him

Anyway point is I'm a big fan of Sonic's characterization in Sonic X and I'm barely three eps in this is exactly what I wanted from a Sonic show 10/10

In September they don't feel like going anywhere or doing any bucket lists - no getting out of the comfort zone this time around. All they need is a little comfort of one another - they take breaks for a movie night when they wouldn't, buy extra cakes they haven't tried previously, go on date-walks and take bubble baths with new scents.

Enjoying simple things in life and appreciating your own presence here feels like it should be a basic part of any bucket list.

How is your September going? Do you have any plans or achievements this month?

the kink got out of hand, sorry

then what ARE the words you want to say

I can't believe they really went with "antagonist gets amnesia, vaguely recognises the protagonist and decides that they are besties actually" trope

[transsexula]

No. Google. I'm actually looking specifically for trans MEN. I know a lot of articles talk about trans women. But I'm specifically looking for stuff about my subset of the trans community. Why the fuck are trans men so hyper-invisible.

My favorite argument from the antifeminist crowd is when they claim "statistics can be exaggerated and manipulated to fit certain narratives" and then they pull out statistics that fit their specific narrative.

Because it's like... okay... so what makes your statistics more accurate to reality than mine? By that logic, technically you AND I can't use statistics to support our arguments. Also, just because statistics have been manipulated to support specific narratives, doesn't mean it happens all the time. Can you prove that the statistics feminists use in their arguments are manipulated?

sometimes i ask my math professors why we're doing a certain thing and i dont know how to explain that i dont mean "this has no real world applications>:(" i mean what are the math applications?

it was such an exciting moment for me when i realized that since combinations/permutations are ways to find how things can be arranged, and probability is just the ways we can get something we're interested in over all the ways we could get something(want/all), combinations and permutations give us ways to find more complicated probabilities without being able to individually list all possible combinations by hand. so the "why are we doing this" for combinations/permutations is "so we can take more complicated probabilities later on". (It's also the basis for the binomial distribution!!)

without being able to understand the direction we're going with an idea it feels like a random exercise instead of the doorway to understanding more complex mathematical ideas and it also makes me feel like i don't understand how all the pieces of the class fit together.

"#(emily and meta are just synonymous tags these days sorry guys)"

Don't apologize! I, for one, *love* your tag metas on Emily! And gahh you're so right about Emily self-regulating and making things harder for herself. But also maybe liking the struggle too.

I don't think Emily was told 'no' but I can see how, in so many ways, Elizabeth Prentiss would have set up a bunch of rules that Emily *must* follow. Emily knows about High Society Rules. And, she can slip into those roles so seamlessly. She can be talking to other politicians and the next night she'd be putting on eyeliner and teasing her hair up to go to a concert that her mother would not approve of, and never know she went to.

hehe, thank you!!

Absolutely, I think Elizabeth was such a foundational piece of why Emily was such a successful spy. Her mother's political career, paired with her own natural (or nurtured, or a bit of both) inclination toward contradiction of anything thrown at her for the struggle of it all, really taught her to live in multiple worlds. And then, having to move around all the time leading to her desire to, and problems with, fitting in...no wonder Emily can become whoever she needs to become when it's required of her 🥺

does anyone know how to genuinely take compliments because today I manhandled a meeting from someone very difficult and effectively cut it down from the usual HOUR and a HALF to thirty minutes and as soon as it ended like 4 of my coworkers rushed out of their office to congratulate me and my supervisor literally called me to tell me good job and I still just feel like one of those abused dogs that everyone cheers on for doing something Very Normal

Today's morning mood is 'everbody secretly hates you and why shouldnt they bc you are a selfish prat'

...My favourite flavor, thank you brain /s

[feh-alt-battle]

Hey there! Quick question about you not including alts that are too new. Is that because the poll was made before the alt was announced, an attempt to avoid some recency bias, or something else? I'm just really curious how the process works for you

Mhm! I call it "New Toy Fallacy". People are more likely to pick the new content over the old because it's new and cool. I did plan once to have a returning character style poll a few months down the line that includes the new alts but as time goes on I think that might just be too repetitive. New alts were going to come out during the run time of this blog, I knew that and decided to do it anyway, but I'm not too pressed about it

For as much as some people will love their bases or First Alts TM, new stuff is more likely to sweep. It's perfectly valid if someone's favorite alt is the newest one because they're all gonna be different but people have a tendency to lean towards What's New

i wantttt to go to the minor league hockey game this thursday but i doooo have a test friday morning (10am) which tbh wont be that important or hard but hrm. the reason why i want to go to This game is that its against my second favourite team in the league who are really good and its the only time my team has a home game against them this season. and also there is a guy on there who is gonna be in the nhl soon but isn’t yet and if i wait till next season who knows if he will be on this team still so like it would be fun to say i’ve seen him since juniors lol.

also im perfectly willing to go alone but its more fun with ppl of course. i could talk to the same girl i went with last time (late september i think) but i literally have not talked to her since then so i feel a little weird. i was talking to another friend of mine just now about the game so i could invite her but she doesn’t care about hockey and also has the same test friday morning lol. idk maybe ill talk to her in class tomorrow

[astrxealis]

hi guys please wish me luck for my college entrance exam tomorrow for one of my dream schools xoxo

[orcelito]

Actually it is SO weird to me to remember that I was an engineering student and that later on I had been pursuing a minor in statistics

I may be a IT & com person in the end, but I do have the foundations of engineering and statistics in my brain too. Wild !
