i feel passionately about the need to enfold people experiencing (or diagnosed) with "just" depression or anxiety into the mad pride project. the more people who view themselves as mad, the better. much as the rhetorical move from "neurotypical" to "neuroconforming" emphasizes the artifice & social construction of "neurotypicality," so too will expanding identification as "mad" expose the sane/mad dichotomy as a false one.

it's true that (some) people with "just" depression and/or anxiety have an easier time navigating the psych system than people who have more stigmatized diagnoses. but this is not to say that they necessarily have an easy time — the carceral psych system is hostile to everyone subsumed by it, even the most "privileged" patients. we should of course critique & examine how our experiences are shaped by various intersections of privilege, but we cannot forget or ignore how someone with "just" a depression/anxiety diagnosis can still experience the full force of the carceral psych system brought down upon them (including but not limited to involuntary institutionalization, police intervention, & forced medication or other forced treatment).

we must encourage, if not insist, that those with the least-stigmatized diagnoses view their difficult experiences navigating the psych system as bound up with the liberation of people who have more stigmatized diagnoses &, often, a more violent experience of the psych system. we need more people to drop the "i have anxiety/depression but i'm not crazy" line and say loudly, "i have anxiety/depression & i am crazy. my access to just treatment is linked to the conditions of all other crazy people, who are my allies, peers, & friends. we are united in our cause & we all deserve a more liberating system of care."

Capillaries. Myelin sheathing. Microglia.

I love how the game seems to take inspiration from those simplified cell drawings with bright colors and exaggerated shapes.

I love how the devs seem to have used microscopic images as a reference to make their alien world feel more alien.

I love the way the myelin sheathing is on the cables because it makes electric signals travel at a faster speed in real life... Those designs work and don't feel limited by what they took inspiration from.

rewatching pacific rim (2013, dir. guillermo del toro) for the nth time and it really is a cinematic masterpiece. the idea that the only way for us humans to defeat monsters is through effective global collaboration but more specifically, through people that are drift compatible, meaning SOULMATES who can be romantic partners or siblings or father and son or best friends or complete strangers with very similar experiences/traumas, and that the stronger their bond the stronger the jaeger and the better it fights, is just

victors as tdp sources

I’ve done a post on this before but I’m so in love with this concept that I want to spread it around some more (and update it, of course)

If you’re not familiar, the dragon prince (tdp) is a series by a lot of the same people as avatar the last airbender with a fascinating magic system and setting (I highly recommend checking it out :)). In this show, there are seven types of magic: the six primal sources (moon, sun, sky, earth, sea, and stars) which beings may be born connected to, and dark magic — an artificial source developed by those without magic that harnesses the life force of magical creatures. I’ve been on this ride since Martyn won, and now that we have seven winners, I am overjoyed with how well it fits.

Grian is the Sun

The Solar arcanum is associated with heat, life, honesty, and justice. It is considered to be two-natured, as the sun’s light and heat is what makes life possible, but its fires burn and destroy anything that comes too close. Those connected to the Sun Primal are often strong willed warriors and natural leaders.

Grian often finds himself in positions of leadership and is great at drawing people in, but he also has a tendency to destroy those closest to him. He is charismatic and inviting, as well as powerful and deadly.

Scott is the Stars

The Star Primal is by far the most mysterious, as well as the most powerful. It’s magic is very rare. The Stars are associated with timelessness, intelligence, truth, reality, and destiny. The Star arcanum is often described as otherworldly and as surpassing the boundaries of time and space. Very little is known about this arcanum, but it’s power is unmatched.

Scott doesn’t get caught up in the chaos of the world around him, but plays by his own rules. Rather than fighting the other players, he often seems to be fighting against the game itself. He doesn’t bend to its will, his morals and stubbornness guiding him rather than any exterior force. He is almost always present, but he is rarely noticed, slipping under the radar unnoticed until the time comes for him to strike.

Pearl is the Moon

Those connected with the Lunar arcanum are often misunderstood and even outcast by others, frequently seen as crazy for their unusual understanding of the universe. The Moon Primal is associated with reality and the understanding that perception, secrets, and truth are all equal parts of the universe. Moon magic is often illusion-based, and those who use it tend to have a very strong sense of morality, duty, and community.

Pearl is both fiercely loyal and somewhat of an outcast. She often finds herself alone, not fitting in anywhere else. She dances at the edge of what is and is not accepted, certain of herself but seen as unpredictable by others.

Martyn is the Ocean

Beings connected to the Ocean arcanum tend to forge strong connections, but also have hidden depths. The Ocean Primal is associated with fluidity, transformation, awareness, and depth. Key to this arcanum is the ability to find calm amidst chaos, to not fight the flow of life, to accept that you are not in control, and to acknowledge that there is much you don’t understand, even within yourself.

Martyn is known for his (perceived) loyalty, but he tends to try to play all sides. He excels at connecting with others, but he seldom shows his full hand. He is someone who is constantly clawing at the walls of their enclosure whilst others remain unaware that they are trapped. He is in a constant state of change, and his whole conflict is knowing when to follow the current and when to break free.

Scar is the Earth

The Earth arcanum is associated with strength, endurance, energy, growth, healing, balance, history, resilience, and life. Those connected to the Earth Primal tend to be patient, deeply caring, and occasionally stubborn beings who have strong values and free spirits.

Scar’s character is all about growth and the desire to be wanted- to belong. He is a highly social being, but often finds himself left behind, abandoned. His story is about acceptance and the strength that you find when you least expect it. His character has always been about resilience, about life enduring against all odds.

Cleo is Darkness

Dark magic is not a primal source, but a man-made for of magic that harvests and utilizes the life force of magical creatures. It is not accepted by practitioners of the Primal Sources. It has many uses, but also corrupts the user over time, often leaving physical traces on its practitioners. It is highly versatile, extremely dangerous, and not naturally occurring. Those who practice Dark magic are highly ambitious and often studious individuals.

Cleo is not like the other victors, winning a special rather than a season. They are different from the others, and often excluded because of this. They are often forgotten or simply not considered, frequently underestimated despite their strength and survival skills. Also zombiecleo=death magic so yeah.

Joel is the Sky

Sky magic often draws on movement. It’s arcanum is associated with agility, speed, freedom, perspective, and light. Those connected to the Sky Primal are often quick and clever individuals who value personal freedom. Key to this source is the understanding that the sky is everywhere: you are always within it and it is always within you.

Joel is a free spirit, a force of nature. Often powerful but short-lived, he is always on the move. He has always been someone who values freedom and independence, often ending up on his own in previous seasons. In his winning season, however, he dedicates himself to forming connections with the other players. His loyalty and devotion to his allies is a key factor in his success, as he has learned the value of community.

[TotK] NOODLE DRAGONS - a redrawing

The noodles are finally ready, seasoned and plated!

Here's my 2023 redrawing of the original 2019 Inktober noodles. That being said, I won't be doing Inktober for this year but I do have other artworks of Noodles and Spirits that I am aiming to complete before the end of Spooky month.

As for the noodle dragons, this is part of a "what if the noodles are small and are [spirit] companions to their respective person?" idea. Link's dragon is called the "Wild Dragon" or the "Dragon of the Wild".

not many people know this but when i was just a little girl, i asked my mother, what will i be? will i be lucky? will i be rich? here’s what she said to me: que sera sera, whatever we make will be, the future is ours to forge, que sera sera. we’ve altered your dna, we’ve twisted your chromosomes, you’ll be the prettiest, you’ll outlive us all, youll outlive us all. when i grew up and got a job, i asked my boss, what lies ahead? will we have money day after day? here’s what my boss said to me. que sera sera, whatever we make will be, the future is ours to forge, que sera sera. these robots we build, these sexy machines indeed, they’ll do all our work for us and think for us from now, and think for us from now. i joined the force, and rose through the ranks! became captain of the squad, ever so merrily. now i have minions of my own, they ask their captain, what will i be? will we survive? how will we live? i tell them tenderly, que sera sera. whatever i say will be! the future is mine to forge, do not question me

i would love to know how lost’s costume department came to the decision to make belted bathrobes the staple wardrobe item for mental hospital patients. why did they do that.

“average psychiatric hospital allows 3 ligatures a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average psych hospital allows 0 ligatures per year. santa rosa mental health institute, which allows 10,000 ligatures each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
