#things I've been thinking about

One of the things that frustrates me about some of the Discourse is that obviously it's obnoxious to tell people they'll change their minds about things like having kids, or their identity label or what have you, and people shouldn't do it. But those posts are always full of testimonials of people who never changed their minds and using 'I was right all along' as a reason for why you shouldn't question people. Which is fair!

But also consider: people change their minds all the time. Some people don't want kids until they're 35 and then they want a dozen. Some people really DO 'meet the right person.' Sometimes something really IS just a phase, and that's fine!!! Yelling about how this never happens or acting like other peoples' experience invalidates our own is not perhaps the inclusive and supportive message we think it is.

Don't tell people they'll change their mind because it's obnoxious, don't tell people they'll change their mind because there's a good chance you're wrong, but also don't tell people they'll change their mind because it makes it harder for them to actually do that.

I'm still very new to this fandom (like truly I finished sophomore a month ago), but it so strange having the narrative of these characters being taken back out of my control

Two episodes in and already so many of my post-sophomore year headcanons have been contradicted (and those that have been confirmed are still slightly different than how I've imagined them)

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited about junior year and all the new plot bunnies and headcanons and fics it will inspire for me. It's just a different experience going from binging (or watching a movie) to a week by week schedule, where I'm almost nervous to integrate junior year info into my writing bc I don't want it to get overturned the next week

I really want our government to provide better waste removal support and education. I get stressed about batteries, lightbulbs, etc. and don't have the time or energy to bring those to a waste facility to be disposed of properly.

Like when recycling bins were rolled out, I think we should start having hazardous material bins so that people can start seperating out that stuff easier and we have less dangerous materials going into landfills. I get stressed because even if I try to seperate out my hazardous materials, I know there are so many people who don't have the ability or knowledge, so it feels futile at the end of the day.

kind of obsessed with this comment from the aoteaora nz subreddit….

okay i used 2 get butthurt about the cynicism and bullying of sensitive people online as well but u do gotta understand when people complain about tenderqueers or NEETs or people who live under a rock or white autistics it is because these orientations towards the world are overtly dangerous to be around in addition to being heavily annoying...often thru no fault of their own, sheltered suburbanite white kids just don't know much about life, have no street smarts, and generally weird ideas about other human beings and coming out as queer does not change that. being autistic or queer isn't an excuse to live in a precious baby bubble of protection from reality - not because you deserve to suffer but because the bubble is delusional, prone to pop at any moment, and will hurt other people when it does unless you put work into unwiring the bomb before it goes off. being sensitive + privileged can be life or death for other people who haven't been afforded your comforts. so its more than okay for them not to trust you or feel safe around your 'softness' if it hasn't been hard-fought for through pain & strength. your feelings can have space in intimate relationships and safety isn't wrong to want but you are likely stronger & more capable of handling difficult things than you think, and being knocked on your ass a few times will teach you to tap into inner reserves...there are people who have your same conditions and are tough mfs because life required that they be to survive. it is possible for you. i hope that makes sense.

I am such a big Werewolf Stan advocate I had to jump on this particular train 🙏 (but I didn't really wanna commit to full line art, you guys understand)

Oh, and you guys aren't gonna believe this, but here's part two 🙌

DPxDC Idea

Danny working at Wayne Enterprises as some sort of engineer, uses the in-house app for all his blueprints and stuff

He starts getting notes from a coworker in-app, and assumes its this annoying older guy in his department who constantly undermines him because of his age, despite his education and past achievements (i feel like in this AU the Fentons react well to the reveal and they work together on a number of non-lethal ecto inventions that have Danny's name attached to them)

Except one day his coworker mentions never using the app, and Danny suddenly realizes there's only one other TD he could've been arguing with in the notes of the app

time for skeleman

with the lack of any other info yet, all I can focus on are those Charles Lloyd-looking sunglasses. they are absolutely sending me. I feel like we're gonna fall through a tree or whatever and this stitched-up boney gentleman is gonna pop out from behind a gravestone and start serenading us with some smooth jazz on the saxophone.

or should I say...the saxoBONE???????

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

I was just thinking how cool it would look if Leo's next move was to open portals with his bare hands And since future Leo doesn't have a hand, they'd have to work together to activate his powers
