ok someone please correct me if i'm wrong but am i weird for thinking those 'audiobooks don't count as reading' posts are ableist as fuck????
#ramble#my first thought was like: how is this even a debate what about blind people. not every book comes in braille but MOST have an audiobook#or dyslexic people#you still enjoyed the book!! you still absorbed it!!! you got EXACTLY the same thing as people who read the words!!!#how does it not count????#i guess you miss out on the 'learning new vocab' you get through seeing the words but also#i don't really do audiobooks but i do a lot of podcasts esp fiction podcasts#and i have ABSOLUTELY picked up new stuff from there that helps with my writing#someone please explain how this is even an argument of COURSE it counts????#idk in my opinion finishing a book means 'i put the words in my brain and i thought about them and i enjoyed a story'#not 'i held a stack of paper in my hands for a bit'#i'm v lucky that i do have time to sit and read. and whenever i commute anywhere it's public transport so i CAN bring a book with me#but if i didn't have the free time or had to drive for hours everywhere i would be STOKED to still get to enjoy books#it's been REALLY bothering me lmao idk why i feel so strongly#for some reason it's giving the same energy as like. being told you can't take a comic or manga from the library bc it's not a 'real' book#of course it's a real book it's a story somebody wrote down#i can see this spiralling into 'if you have a kindle you aren't reading'. you have to sniff the paper. feel the papercuts

Realizing you can never please anybody can be a devastating loss... until you internalize exactly what that means.
When you sacrifice so much of yourself for others, you forget that you leave yourself behind. Not being able to please everybody means you can start learning how to fully embody who you are instead of juggling everybody else's baggage, trying to make something work out.
You might feel devastated about this, thinking you're terrible for not pleasing everybody. The truth is, it was impossible from the start, and learning who you are is infinitely rewarding
#mental health#encouragement#encouraging words#people-pleasing is honestly (in my experience) the most soul-crushing things out there#and i wish more and more people could learn how to let go of the impulse to self-persecute...#...and to let go of the idea that literally the *entire world* comes before them#i think the thing that really set me on this path was realizing that few people would do what i did...#...that they would see that nobody is fighting their corning *including them*...#...and that few people will actually fight your corner *for* you...#...and part of that realization enraged me because it's like... everybody abandons you INCLUDING yourself...#...so you think 'how the fuck didn't i realize that?' and you start to question more and more the reasons you internalized the message...#...that literally everybody matters more than you ever will...#...part of that for me stems from deep systematic abuse and part of it is cultural...#...so you'll find that your drives to do certain things have differwnt influences and some are perfectly fine...#...while others are destroying and depressing and horrific

My mom is always like "you were suchhh an easy kid compared to your brothers, you didn't even cry the first night home from the hospital it was so weird. I never had to worry about you since I knew you could handle yourself" meanwhile I as a kid always felt like
#its also funny bc then she acts surprised when i dont know how to do things#'i learned how to drive at 14' okay well you didnt teach me#'my friends taught me' okay well i didnt have friends because my social skills fucking sucked.#at this point i know its on me that i let my anxiety control my life im not even blaming that on her#sibce i am an adult capable of making changes#since*#but when she says stuff like this it makes my eye twitch#i try not to resent my brothers (esp my younger brother) for this#but kinda sucks they got more attentiveness to their developmental issues than i did#two younger brothers on the spectrum and older brother with speech issues and dyslexia#i started anti anxiety meds in senior year of high school but thats it. and wasnt bc of her noticing my anxiety disorder#personal#also i know people usually reply these things trying to be encouraging but i dont really like when others talk badly about my mom#so dont do that please

Maybe a little overly serious approach to the situation, but y'all have GOT to be more respectful towards the creators you watch and consume content for. fWhip's message about getting a lot of hate is honestly abysmal.
Like, don't get me wrong, I love lore-related series! I think they're a lot of fun and I love watching them.But give non-lore series a chance! They're also a lot of fun!
These creators are all responsible adults who are very capable of creating boundaries for themselves and deciding amongst themselves what rules they want to follow when joining a project.
Obviously, there are many viewers and community members who this isn't directed at. :D
Please don't send hate to anyone, it's not helpful. If you don't like something, don't engage with it. Just leave it at that. Show respect to the community you're apart of, and to the creators that head it.
(It's fine to be annoyed with something and talk about it, but don't force a creator to see that negativity. It's not benefiting anyone.) The more hate a creator gets, the less they engage with and organize fun things for the community. Please remember to be kind.
#I might delete this later and probably won't add relevant tags#because I have the sneaking suspicion that the people who would see this post are probably those who are already aware of this#sorry to get serious on a silly fanart account lmao#It just drives me nuts when people are mean to creators. like. that's a human person#and for the crime of- *checks notes* doing something they enjoy and having fun in a way that isn't how viewers want it to go#please take a step back and revaluate if you ever feel the urge to yell at people and send them death threats#if you follow me and actively send dts please do me the favor and learn some respect and unfollow me#I don't need that negativity in my life#will def delete if I get backlash from this lmao but my opinion will never change even so#feel free to reblog tho if you read this far#I'm just a little bish and scared to add tags lmao

sorry for only saying this type of shit lately but i kinda wanna drive a car straight into a brick wall at the highest speed possible
#trying to keep it together so bad because i already know the problems and solutions and whatnot but i cannot do anything#i desperately just need to do something. accomplish any task. actually several would be nice. but i cannot stand just letting life go by#while i watch other people have the things i want. or even metaphorically living my dream like. that should be me why am i settling for thi#i hate even talking about this because i feel so stupid when i know it's not even a real tangible problem and that i actually DO have real#problems to tackle and the ability to do so but i'm choosing to be upset over the stupidest things i could possibly be sad about#and i can't even be sad about it in a normal way i'm cycling through like several different reactions to smth that isn't even real#or if it is real i literally do not have tanglible evidence for it one way or another like i'm driving myself insane for no reason#i can't even get catharsis because all i'm doing is digging a deeper hole for something i never should've gone back into in the first place#because i KNOW how i am i KNOW how i react to things and i still chose to do it lmao.#and i continue to choose to go through this shit instead of actively trying to change my life because... i'm lazy? and stupid? idk#negative self-talk isn't gonna get me to do anything either so let's just say i'm feeling particularly unmotivated like usual#i hated being a teenager but i really do miss when all my problems just amounted to 'someone was mean to me on tumblr today :(' or i failed#a test in chemistry or something. like i yearn for that simplicity becasue at this point all i'm doing is ruining my own life LMAO#i'm too scared to live i'm too scared to die so i just sit here and fantasize that life could be amazing if i wait#and i'll magically get everything i've ever wanted if i just wait long enough. and i know it isn't true and i still wait for it to happen.#because honestly like. i think deep down i am just convinced i will fail at anything i do when that shouldn't be what scares me.#what scares me should be never even allowing myself to fail because i never tried to do anything at all with myself or my life#like. wake the fuck up. get off your ass and put in the effort. learn some skills. gain independence and stability and discipline and do it#just live please i'm begging you just live so i can be happy don't i deserve to be happy... why am i not letting myself be happy#i'm literally keeping myself trapped in this negative feedback loop ON PURPOSE because teehee shiny toy#and it doesn't matter if the love is real it doesn't matter how i feel like i'm just using it as a distraction i can't say it's motivation#because it's barely motivated me at all. i have to start being realistic. 25 & just realizing you actually have to participate in your life#anyways. i've cried i've agonized i've pictured killing myself in 30 different ways. i think the only way i'm gonna feel better is#to just actually try this time without giving up. wish me luck

does shadow have a drivers license
#everyone's always headcanoning that he has his own motorcycle. but like#does he even have an actual license. has he taken a full drivers exam or did he only ever bother to learn how to drive a motorcycle#dont talk to me about the racing games ok im choosing to ignore them bc theyre racing games#ramblings#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#sth#while im here. does he. actually nvm that was a horrible question#i was gonna ask wether or not he practices proper gun safety but. considering. past events. i would be inclined to believe he does#to some degree at the very least idk what he did in the shadow the hedgehog game. i didnt really care about that one when i was 11#its 3am leave me alone#does tails have the certification needed to fly a plane or does he just get to do whatever he wants because no one can stop him#<- questions that dont matter but ive been thinking about this one for over a year now#if this has ever actually been answered please tell me it'd be so funny#WAIT WHEN'S THE NEXT TWITTER TAKEOVER#i usually dont care for those but. i have questions

Also it feels so good to be taking classes again even though the subject is human development and at-home care instead of literature or religion. I'm nervous about the practical skills exams, especially for very personal tasks, but I'm just going to do my best and leave it at that.
#a sock speaks#work tag#I'm working for 2 clients this month. scheduling around my training#a lot of it is shopping and errands which is a lot of fun for me#but also it forces me to practice driving with a passenger and parking in tricky places. I make a lot of mistakes but it's been good for me#one major reason I considered this job is that I knew it would push me to learn life skills#I'm so so scared of violating HIPAA or getting into a car accident with a client in the car or accidentally getting a client sick or or or#but it's good to face my fears. this is through. this is the way out.#I've also had the thought that this training will help me be prepared as my parents age. they're in their mid sixties now#and will probably both need to retire soon. I want them to be able to relax and only work if they want to#I don't want to panic if/when they need care. I want to be capable of taking on responsibility when needed.#I feel so much more like a real adult in this job. I think some of my work anxiety is learned#like I start out anxious in a new job or school program bc I'm new. but then I stay anxious bc I've learned that anxious is how to feel#in that role#but so far I'm doing better at staying calm and treating myself more like an adult#and other people also seem to be treating me more like a real adult. please please please let this be transferable to other contexts.#local construction#my mental health has also been decent so far this month despite the intensely busy schedule#I'm really thankful for that. far less stressful caring for one person at a time than bouncing between 2-6 tables at a time

Once I started being completely honest with myself about how I wanted my body to look and how I wanted to present, the clearer my path forward has become.
Now, instead of being blinded by traditional ideas of the masculine body, I'm embracing the masculine body I've always had. Even though it isn't "traditional," I have never felt more masculine and more secure in my maleness and also my place in the world.
This is why I so strongly recommend that people leave out as much societal pressure as they can when they think about what is best for themselves. It's unreasonable to ask people to completely leave society out of their decisions, I think, but doing that as much as you can where you are at currently is very freeing. It has taught me how to value myself and how to build my sense of self-worth.
#anti diet culture#bodily autonomy#advice#not sure how to tag this but!!! this is heavily inspired by anti diet culture!!! and is why i wanted to make this post :)#my thighs feel so muscular now because i'm embracing that this is what my *own* maleness is#and i won't pretend like i'm ~above society~ and am never influenced by my surroundings (because i am to a degree!)#but i want to do my best to learn how to prioritize my own drives and ambitions over the shallow ideas of what i 'should' do y'know#if you want to try this out: please do. you have nothing to lose but your chains. you are ALIVE

#i need to learn how to drive so i can go to markets in other places.#like. real cities alksdhjal PLEASE let me live in toronto or ottawa im dying scoob

so guess what, my counselor is on vacations and i just got a call from her colleague who's checking her files and she just told me that she is sending my application to get the financial aid for the 1k to help pay for a driver's licence so i don't have to wait for my counselor to get back. she sounded very supportive and it felt like night and day compared to my actual counselor where i had to fight every step of the way for her to even consider the idea even though i know i could potentially get the aid because my profile check all the boxes and it's just a question of whether or not there's still enough budget and the priority they give my file against others. 1k is such a lot of money to me and it covers over half of the cost of the driving lessons which is basically the only way i can dream of being able to pay the licence because just coming up with the remaining 600-700+ will be super hard and is a little daunting but let's not think about that right now. the application is going to be studied yay, now is the time to send all the good vibes to the universe ✨✨✨
#personal#send me money#please universe send all the money vibes#all the moneyyyy viiiiibes universe please#and pls universe send the driving skills too because back in the day when i wasted 3k on trying to learn how to drive i really sucked ass#miracle money vibes and driving skills vibes thank you

I enjoyed Please Please Please and Espresso and have been listening to the new album this morning while I try and get stuff posted to AO3 and uh
There's one other song that's nice, otherwise it's your generally mid but perfectly fine pop album
Except for that fucking lyric in Slim Pickins. Girl, what the entire fuck was that vaguely homophobic bs abt exactly lmao
#tbh there's a lot of this that sounds like influence from a certain other blonde artist so I probably shouldn't be shocked by that#but i am a bit disappointed even tho I probably should have been expecting this lmao#this album also feels like a sign S.C. needs to do a lot of growing up re: relationships#maybe be single for a bit and learn how to live in your own skin bc my god does it make a difference#at least in my experience lol#really is a shame bc like. after taste and please please please the album up until slim pickins was genuinely like. okay this is mid but#good for a long summer drive as background noise/pleasant enough to the ear for writing background music too#but just that one line in slim has me reconsidering listening to anything of hers#other than taste; espresso; and please please please#genuinely sitting here typing tags bc I've got genius open in another tab and i'm putting off reading the lyrics to slim again like#nah she didn't really decide to evoke that old fucking bs in a pop song in 2024#but here we are lmaoooo
