ive talked to a lot of ppl who have taken vyvanse now and i think ik a bit more on how i need to live on it
#1) dopamine drops on lower dosages or high dosage but in the evenings feel like hell and it wont ever stop you have to just breathe#you will stop breathing well and you wont notice it so you have to remember to breathe deeply. this helps immensely for some reason#2) you will stop processing the existence of food as a consumable thing and not just an object like Table or Cardboard. you will not want to#eat anything. you have to buy meal replacement shakes. sweetness is one of the only pleasant flavours. eat protein. eat as much protein as#you can. down those meal replacament shakes. get enough for a day. try not to into calorie deficits on vyvanse.#3) your mind will be searching for cognitively complex tasks and everything else dwarfs in comparison. dont lay down. do something.#4) you have to exercise. fully exercise at the gym not a home 20 min work out. you need to push your body right now so that you can be ok#5) nothing will be as intense and vivid and beautiful and there will be a layer of seperation between you snd reality even on a lower dosage#this is fine. this is the primary price. sunlight helps and so does doing complex tasks but you cant avoid this. remind yourself that this#is a self-induced thing and its temporary and itll fade.#6) youve been ship of theseus'd into a new person and this effect only increases later into the day. any conclusion you reach about yourself#is most likely not applicable to your non-vyvanse self.#7) carry chapstick around. keep drinking water. dry mouth starts 5 minutes after taking it#8) some of your friends have a reduced range of emotion and this makes them more stable but less capable of experiencing intense joys#and sadnesses. look at them. listen to their perspective. live like them when youre on the medication.#9) music is still gorgeous#10) you will feel very hot very fast. wear layers you can take off.#11) pick up a bow and shoot. keep shooting. keep going. shoot at least 50 arrows if you can. feel the pain in your arms and your shoulders#and then keep shooting.

I think the problem with a lot of Geto analysis online cannot truly understand that he's a victim and abusive. Like I'll straight up say jujutsu society is abusive and exploitative and he had to deal with three people his age and younger Dying (Satoru he was supposed to be working with, Riko was literally. There. And then Haibara who y'know. Is his junior so there's a level of protection and teaching they're supposed to have) and I can yap about my opinions on some of the stuff that's implied but also. HES A CULT LEADER AND CULTS ARE ABUSIVE. Even in his short interaction with the women he helps he is rude demeaning and manipulative (idk how to describe the name thing he's just fucking weird) he's willing to just Murder People in cold blood and he's a eugenicist who dehumanizes people and compares them to animals like. And even with sorcerers who he "respects" like. Do I need to explain how eugenics interacts with bodily autonomy or is that generally understood. I'll say straight up that I think he basically just copy pasted power dynamics from Jujutsu society (basically why I call him a victim of that. Jujutsu society is a-ok with child murder let's all remember that) but just bc they're learned doesn't make them Less Abusive (it just points to a bigger problem)
He contains multitudes and some of the multitudes involve being traumatized and physically assaulted as a child and others involve being a hateful person who decided that lateral violence feels good
#JJK#Y'know what? IDC how mean you are to Geto I hope he burns in hell or whatever. But like do not downplay the fact that#Riko got murdered and Nanako and Mimiko were being abused. Which like. You don't have to respect him but to fully acknowledge both those#Things you have to acknowledge the fact that they were TRAUMATIZING FOR HIM because he was forced not just to witness but also to#Fucking deal with the consequences of intense human suffering. But also DONT REDUCE RIKO NANAKO AND MIMIKO TO THEIR EFFECTS ON GETO#they affected him (human suffering human connection) but most of all THEYYYYY WERE AFFECTEDDDDD BECAUSE THEY WERE THE VICTIMSSSSS#gonna start biting ppl. ''oh he's traumatized so he's racist?'' no he's traumatized so he's lashing out and the society he was raised in#Prioritized strength over actually understanding that human lives have value so he found it easy and gratifying to target people#In a way that ''proved'' his strength and superiority and that he could justify with ''well there won't be curses'' which is a shitty#Justification but it was enough to make the net emotional payoff gratifying rather than shameful in the short term. Also he's not racist#Because he hates ppl who aren't sorcerers he's racist because most sorcerers are Japanese#Which means most of his targets would be y'know. Ppl of color and already marginalized ppl which going back to the Kenjaku rant#You can still be racist without hatred if you live in a racist society and don't fight against the basic racism but rather just let it exis#Unchallenged or even go along with it because if benefits you (rather than going alone because it can hurt others)#Anyway all this to say yeah Geto shouldve killed himself at 17 and STOP SEXUALIZING THE SHOWER SCENE HES 17 ITS WEIRD

My internet has been investigated by a professional.
There might be something weird with the big cables (to quote the guy: the "inner-pair" and "outer-pair" of the eight-cables are of different lengths, but by all accounts still work just fine), but my own equipment has at least passed (no extra-fine for crying wolf for me).
The weird stability-thing continues to be weird. And current test is for them to switch my internet-provider (internet-provider has a use-contract with the cable-operators, who are the ones investigating) over the weekend. See if the problem is on that end.
It's possible that this is the case (at which point I guess I'll try to switch permanently), or that it's that weird cable-length resulting in the problem (which is... a whole different can of worms).
#also. after a full week with only paracetamol. i'm back on naproxen (self-decided) after sending an update to my doctor#(basically amounting to ''you do know that this spine-pain never actually goes away on its own. right?'')#(with an addition about how paracetamol doesn't even really do anything for me. as far as pain-reduction goes.)#(but yeah. the pain builds up over time. sometimes very little time is needed. but giving it more time isn't gonna make it go away)#(i know this bcs it took me EIGHT FUCKING MONTHS to get these pills in the first place. and they were the only things that helped.)#(you think i didn't try other pain-meds before that? you think i didn't try to exercise? you think i didn't change my sleep-posture?)#(i had eight months. i bought an entirely new fucking bed. i slept in a fucking hammock. i tilted my bed. i tried sleeping sitting up.)#(until naproxen? NOTHING FUCKING WORKED. and at this point... if i get heart-issues ten years from now?)#(at least i've had lived a comfortable life up until that point. and there's heart-medicine that can probably keep me going even longer)#bcs her most recent attempt at ''fixing my medication'' is effectively to tell me to close my eyes and make a wish#which isn't really a viable option. ''but exercise-...'' ''i've said MULTIPLE TIMES that exercise has never had an impact''#sure. exercises from the physiotherapist might have different results. but after a full month of them? no sign of those results.#and after one week off my pills (reduced)? i was sleeping in shifts (from back-pain) and struggling to stand straight#and my flexibility was so ruined that i suddenly remembered why i learned to never turn in my seat when reversing the car#(bcs i can't fucking move like that. moving like that is impossible. look in the mirrors. hope for the best)#so yeah. back on my pills. and my doctor can fight me over it. once they get around to reading my message.#won't stop me from doing the exercises. bcs let's face it i probably need them for other reasons. but yeah.#personal stuff#rants

Propaganda time? Propaganda time.
Fun fact: Marigold occupies the specific niche of villain as many comic book supervillains - the more dark the setting, the more she can get away with, and the deadlier of a threat she becomes.
Bug Fables, being a fairly light-hearted RPG, sticks her in "secret boss with horrific implications" territory, where she's not necessarily too dark to disrupt the E for Everyone rating but thinking on the facts presented for more than a few minutes makes everything rapidly enter something adjacent to the horrible implications of Snakemouth Den.
In settings closer to grimdark, however, she could probably become an extremely significant villain fairly easily even while remaining on the backlines, putting multiple main characters into permanent benching, major identity crises, and forced-to-kill-a-friend situations even without having to directly show her face.
In case of a genre upset, she is very much the kind of character where literally all of her plots could be foiled with a well-placed Bugs Bunny reducing her to a comedy bit.

Emdr is so weird. We worked on 1 frame and successfully reduced the stress level it induced. And then my therapist was like šŸ‘:) now go back to the full memory and find the next most upsetting frame. And it's like a 9 out of 10 and I realised oh. Oh. This is how its going to be? We're gonna be working on my whole list for a while i guess

Something I struggle way more with than ships I dislike are ships that I would be at least open to maybe consider if not for the fact that the majority of its shippers so very clearly only pair them together in order to avoid the more common ship they condemn for being ""problematic""

#not reading the tags is selfcare btw #tbh im genuinely surprised to see stucky fans being incredibly volatile & dismissive of ofmd's incredible impact on queer/trans folks & POC
#like you've never known such pure fucking relief as watching ed & stede kiss for the first time after decades of queerbaiting
#like the writers could have left them as the subtext and tropes featured in eps 1-8 that queer fans are used to identifying #but this show actually takes care of and respects its fans and even if you don't like this ship/show we gotta show some respect to that
#like what other show has a middle aged indigenous jewish man and a middled aged autistic man finding their first loves in their late 40s??
#and not just has them as an irrefutably canon couple but their relationship is the entire A plot of the show?? literally revolutionary
#like I'm genuinely confused by stucky fans saying their fan fic is gonna override OFMD's insane impact on the future of queer media??
#OFMD shows studios that you can have a wildly successful show centred around an mlm ship AND still appeal to mainstream audiences
#THAT is what influences and builds more queer media for us to enjoy folks
#and tbc this is just addressing comments I've seen in the replies btw I know the poll itself has nothing to do with media impact or whatever
#like i 100% voted for stucky in the poll bc i don't really care for stede so I don't read fic involving him #but CHRIST y'all
#you can like one ship/media better and not tear down another ship/media entirely #these tags are not it
tags from @dorian-they-ao3
These are excellent tags. But as someone who used to be deeply into the shipping culture of the MCU, this is not surprising considering the treatment of people of color by the mcu fandom.

'wah wah everywhere is falling to the right wing the whole world is doomed' literally like 6 months ago we were talking about how there was a trend in countries getting rid of their right wing governments. poland at the end of last year, france voted in a unified centre left/left alliance, even the UK finally got rid of the tories after 15 years (right wing splitting be damned, it still happened). outside of europe, bangladesh removed a dictator in like 2 seconds, india may have reelected their Evil Guy but on a DISTINCTLY reduced majority, theres been queer rights successes in thailand, with gay marriage set to be legal by 2025, and thereve been positive court cases on it in japan. and this is just stuff i vaguely remember hearing about. im sure theres more if you care to look for anything aside from more reasons to make yourself miserable
the US has a distinct effect on everyone, so this won't be fun for anyone (least of all its population. sorry guys), and there ARE a lot of people sliding into right wing extremism, but presenting this like its an unchallenged worldwide phenomenon is inaccurate, its damagingly bleak, and all it does is encourage despair and apathy. you DO have political power, and you shouldnt forget that just because of bad election results and the media's desperation to make you lose hope

When I was in vet school I went to this one lecture that I will never forget. Various clubs would have different guest lecturers come in to talk about relevant topics and since I was in the Wildlife Disease Association club I naturally attended all the wildlife and conservation discussions. Well on this particular occasion, the speakers started off telling us they had been working on a project involving the conservation of lemurs in Madagascar. Lemurs exist only in Madagascar, and they are in real trouble; theyā€™re considered the most endangered group of mammals on Earth. This team of veterinarians was initially assembled to address threats to lemur health and work on conservation solutions to try and save as many lemur species from extinction as possible. As they explored the most present dangers to lemurs they found that although habitat loss was the primary problem for these vulnerable animals, predation by humans was a significant cause of losses as well. The vets realized it was crucial for the hunting of lemurs by native people to stop, but of course this is not so simple a problem.
The local Malagasy people are dealing with extreme poverty and food insecurity, with nearly half of children under five years old suffering from chronic malnutrition. The local people have always subsisted on hunting wildlife for food, and as Madagascarā€™s wildlife population declines, the people who rely on so-called bushmeat to survive are struggling more and more. People are literally starving.
Our conservation team thought about this a lot. They had initially intended to focus efforts on education but came to understand that this is not an issue arising from a lack of knowledge. For these people it is a question of survival. It doesnā€™t matter how many times a foreigner tells you not to eat an animal youā€™ve hunted your entire life, if your child is starving you are going to do everything in your power to keep your family alive.
So the vets changed course. Rather than focus efforts on simply teaching people about lemurs, they decided to try and use veterinary medicine to reduce the underlying issue of food insecurity. They supposed that if a reliable protein source could be introduced for the people who needed it, the dependence on meat from wildlife would greatly decrease. So they got to work establishing new flocks of chickens in the most at-risk communities, and also initiated an aggressive vaccination program for Newcastle disease (an infectious illness of poultry that is of particular concern in this area). They worked with over 600 households to ensure appropriate husbandry and vaccination for every flock, and soon found these communities were being transformed by the introduction of a steady protein source. Families with a healthy flock of chickens were far less likely to hunt wild animals like lemurs, and fewer kids went hungry. Thats what we call a win-win situation.
This chicken vaccine program became just one small part of an amazing conservation outreach initiative in Madagascar that puts local people at the center of everything they do. Helping these vulnerable communities of people helps similarly vulnerable wildlife, always. If we go into a country guns-blazing with that fire for conservation in our hearts and a plan to save native animals, we simply cannot ignore the humans who live around them. Doing so is counterintuitive to creating an effective plan because whether we recognize it or not, humans and animals are inextricably linked in many ways. A true conservation success story is one that doesnā€™t leave needy humans in its wake, and that is why I think this particular story has stuck with me for so long.

wait i bet the whole reduced telomerase expression thing is an anti cancer mechanism huh
#i can look this up thereā€™s gonna be studies I just had this thought now#like yeah I think evolution builds some jank patch shit bc it can only change incrementally and each#step has to be built on the last and thereā€™s no farsightedness#and yeah i do think the fact that we had to patch in telomeres at the ends of our chromosomes#bc otherwise weā€™d chop off important dna each time cells divided#bc our polymerases work only one way which was fine when our chromosomes were circular#is a perfect example of such jank ass shit#but like. we also can add more telomeres. we DO add more telomeres#we gotta factory reset our germ cells and iirc thereā€™s a fair bit of telomerase expression when youā€™re younger and in other situations#and def in cancer cells#so yeah like. reducing telomerase expression over time seems like a fair anti cancer control#mortality in general seems like itā€™s an anti cancer control#like you gotta impose so many limits on cells if youā€™re gonna be multicellular and if the side effect is mortality#then from an evolutionary perspective its fine so long as you survive long enough to have offspring#I wonder what the math is. between being able to live longer and have children throughout that whole period#vs increased odds of dying early bc your cells revolted#thereā€™s gotta be some game theory on this shit#anyway Iā€™m literally just rambling about thoughts I am having w/o looking shit up yet#inspired by my cool mutuals who will just say ā€˜hey wait is this how a thing worksā€™#like hell yeah. letā€™s speculate on fields we know enough about to be stupid in#456 words

Also caffeine can still mess you up if youā€™re taking nonstimulant ADHD meds. Iā€™m on atomoxetine/Strattera and one thing of coffee, even stretched over a few hours, makes me shaky as hell now. Research what your meds interact with, yall
You know what else I donā€™t get about ADHD? We have to go through hell and back and bounce between doctors and psychologists for months to get diagnosed but once you do your doctor just writes you a prescription without any advice and without bothering to tell you that
youā€™re not supposed to eat grapefruit when taking ADHD medication
Ā you canā€™t eat or drink citrus fruit, soda, Gatorade, and anything carbonated an hour before and after taking your medicationĀ 
you should monitor your heart rate if you take the decongestant psuedophedrine when you have adderall in your system because it also has the side effect of increased heart rateĀ 
you should really avoid caffeine when on adderall (haha I know weā€™re all hooked on caffeine) but lots of people with add feel like they need to be drinking a ā€œstudy beverageā€ like coffee/energy drinks constantly while working. Give your adderall the 1-3 hours it needs to kick in before you do this, drink a placebo beverage like decaf tea instead
Iā€™m not a pharmacist, none of this is medical advice, but as the girl who used to start her day with a whole grapefruit and glass of orange juiceā€¦ I wish Iā€™d known this. I got more instructions for my strep throat medication then I ever got for adderall.

Actually I'm not done talking about Mr. Simon Fucks-Himself-Stupid Riley just yet :(
I'm picturing a scenario where you, a civilian, are visiting your boyfriend at his base. Maybe you're there to deliver something, like a file he forgot at home or the lunch he said he didn't need. Either way, whatever your cover story for being there is, the end result is the same: you, on your back, knees up by your ears, sprawled across Simon's desk as he fucks you like his life depends on it.
Being a Lieutenant grants him the luxury of having a private office where he can engage in such extracurriculars, but that doesn't mean it's without some major risks ā€“ namely, prying ears that might be lurking in the hallway outside.
But being discreet shouldn't be an issue, should it? I mean, a man known infamously as ā€œGhostā€ should have no problem staying quiet, right?
Wrong.
Turns out, not only does that tight hole of yours reduce your boyfriend to a dumb, drooling mess, it makes him a dumb, drooling mess who can't keep his fucking mouth shut.
So while you have the wherewithal to clamp a hand over your lips to try muffling your lewd noises, Simon is out here moaning and groaning unabashedly like something sent forward in time from the Paleolithic. You could try asking him to cover his mouth, but it seems an impossible task; his hands are a little preoccupied with making sure he doesn't fuck you right over the edge of his desk.
While you don't want to stop, you also don't want to get caught, so you settle for urging him to keep it down. It's after a third softly gasped ā€˜N-Need to be qu-quiet, Siā€™ that your warning finally worms its way into his brain, and he acts in a way to appease you, justā€¦ not how you expect.
Swiftly, Simon removes his hold of your waist and brings one of his arms forward. He grabs for the center of his t-shirt, tugs the material up, and quickly stuffs the fabric into his mouth.
It only takes a split second for the action to happen, but immediately, you see how effective it is. The moment that standard, army-issued tee is captured between Simon's teeth, there's a drastic reduction of noise in the room.
Now, he can fuck into you with reckless abandon, and he snaps his hips forward with enough force to make your whole body ripple. Even as you pulse and constrict around him (sometimes inadvertently, sometimes not), the sounds that climb their way up Simon's throat are heavily dampened by his cotton gag.
It's as Simon begins the ascent to his peak that the cloth in his mouth really comes into play. As he pumps into you, he starts grunting lowly, gutturally, exhaling through his nostrils in quick, harsh bursts. It's a deep sound, animalistic in nature, like a bull huffing before it digs its heels into the dirt and charges.
His thrusts turn sloppier and sloppier the closer he nears his high, his hips propelled forward only by some basic hindbrain instinct. His lashes start to flutter, his eyes roll towards the back of their sockets, and when he cums, he throws his head back in a full-blown snarl.
Simon's a bit shaky on his feet after he climaxes in you, but he manages to pull out before he stumbles backwards, plopping down heavily into his chair. As you start cleaning yourself up, you see how he makes no attempt to move. He just sits there, completely brainless, pants around his ankles and t-shirt still tucked between his teeth. You have to walk over to him and purposefully tug on the shirt to get him to release it, and once it's freed, you see the damage that's been done.
In the center of Simon's shirt rests a big, blotchy wet spot, like he's tried to do his own slobbery take on the classic Rorschach test. The fabric's been wrinkled to all hell and there's a few imprints left behind from where his teeth had bitten down, and if you were to inspect the hem closely, you'd see where he popped a stitch or two in his ecstasy.
The sight of his mangled shirt has you tutting in disapproval. He can't walk out of his office looking like this, and he certainly can't forgo wearing a shirt altogether. What would the people around base say if they saw their normally put together Lieutenant looking so unkempt? You don't think he'd ever hear the end of it, nor would you for that matter.
In the meantime, as you wait for Simon's brains to un-liquify themselves, maybe you can scrounge up something else for him to wear. There's got to be something lying around here to help make him presentable once again. It's too bad as part of your cover you didn't think to bring an extra set of clothes to change into.
You'll have to remember for next time.
