#the worst thing is

[tanadrin]

the inability to use modern expressions like "jesus christ" and "oh my god" when writing people speaking in a modern, colloquial fantasy in fiction is actually really awkward sometimes. because almost anything you replace it with is going to sound naff as hell. tempted to just leave the culturally-contextual oaths in and trust people to understand that they're translation conventions. turn linguistic smeerps into rabbits, as it were.

Am currently very sick

Fever, chills, sweating, the works

Had to call in sick today when I was supposed to be on a 28 hour shift and so the mid-level senior doctor who has to cover for me is very pissed (it would have been me admitting cases, not her) I cannot take more than one day off at a time so I guess I’m going back to work tomorrow while shivering and about to faint

Because it’s not covid and as a resident unless you’re able to walk you keep working

I am too tired to be angry I feel like death on an ancient thermostat

There's a lot of things in my life I've done that make me feel shame but nothing compares to the feeling of listening to a Big Bang Theory joke and actually laughing at it

[ohlooh]

I have been diagnosed as emo, by my sister, who has much better grasp on these things. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room for the next 2-3 business days recovering.

nothing worse when you’re on pinterest mobile and you see a pin that’s so perfectly you but you swipe your finger the wrong way and pinterest just cannot compute so it glitches and turns the whole screen white or black and the only way to fix it is to close the app and reopen it, knowing that the perfect pin is gone forever and you���ll never be able to save it to one of your boards

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes
