Nonverbal Whumpee who uses AAC. Whumper who always looks at the screen before they're done typing.

This might seem small to speaking people but good lord is it humiliating (and terrifying). We don't (and can't) look at your thoughts before you've ironed them out so don't look at ours. There's a common misconception that we use it like people speak: think the thought, form the thought, say the thought. But the reality is that spoken conversation moves much faster than written in almost every case and we also have more steps, so we have to condense the process: think the thought, write the thought and form it at the same time, say the thought.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Mr president we have reason to suspect their is a masquito in the oval office

[transrevolutions]

for gods sake please if you were involved in a riot or a violent protest or any kind of illegal direct action do NOT post about it on tumblr! especially not with pictures! you are putting yourself and your comrades at risk! if you intend to discuss your experience for the purpose of educating others, be as vague as possible about where you were and what the situation was. again, NO PICTURES!

remember that this is always a slow time for the rpc. as we get deeper into the holiday season, remember that people are finishing classes and taking big tests. they're slammed at work or taking on extra jobs to pay the bills. people are stressed about money or family, figuring out flights or trips, dreading the colder weather, struggling to put food on the table. some people are experiencing more dark outside than light, which might mess their schedule up a bit. some deal with seasonal depression during these months.

when your dash is slower and quieter this time of year, and when less people are liking your posts or sending memes, it doesn't mean the community is dying or we're all headed for the end times. i understand that less interactions or less support might be discouraging, especially when some of us are already dealing with the doom and gloom of darker, colder months and the stress of the holiday season... but please don't turn around and scold people for their inactivity or their lack of enthusiasm. don't get fatalistic about the fate of this community and declare it prematurely dead. this period of time always happens every year. now is not the time for unfair expectations. now is the time for kindness, generosity, understanding, encouragement, and love. now is the time for "take your time with replies," and "talk to me if you need anything. i'm here for you."

In Which I Write a Sensible Victorian Novel

Once upon a time, a woman made some mistakes in a regrettable romantic entanglement. She married a rich, respectable man and didn't want her past shame to destroy the love they shared. She immediately told her husband about her past, and her husband, being a reasonable man, understood and forgave her. No one blackmailed her, she never needed to construct an elaborate web of deception and intrigue, and she never had to worry about her husband finding out her secret from other sources. And they all lived happily ever after.

Pro Tip: No matter what size your bed is, get your blankets one size up. Of course your sheets should be true to size, but if you're in a full size bed, make sure your duvet/comforter/quilt is a queen size. If you're in a queen, go up to a king. Thank me later.

PSA to anyone here who's in the mouthwashing or stardew fandoms:

according to this PSA post here that someone tagged me in (which is much appreciated), it's recommended that you turn off asks because apparently on the 25th there are people out there planning on sending gore images to mouthwashing/stardew blogs.

i don't want to instill panic or anything, since i've never received anything like this despite being both a mouthwashing and stardew fanartist. and there is a chance this is something being blown out of proportion. HOWEVER it's better to be safe than sorry.

i was originally going to reblog the original warning post, but opted to link it instead just in case that post ends up being used by ne'er-do-wells to find targets.

[legofemme]

Im going 2 be soo fucking for real right now. The way the FR staff has been going thru the TUMBLR TAG and monitoring it the same way they would the actual site is grim as hell. Reblogging someones post abt religion buttons to say that theyre at risk of a DISCRIMINATION CLAIM is fucking batshit. Making vague posts abt how tumblr users have the staff blocked is CHILDISH . This is NOT the main site and the mods need to mind their fucking business unless asked something DIRECTLY

[daydreamerwonderkid]

Guys, I'm literally begging you to not make me the "Um, actually" guy right now.

Atlantis is not and has never been a real actual city.

There is literally no historical or anthropological evidence that it ever existed. It was an entirely made up city that Plato created to illustrate his point about the very real threat of political corruption and how if left unchecked, could lead to the absolute devastation of an entire nation and its people.

It's also a fucking Nazi conspiracy theory. I shouldn't have to explain how "a secret advanced ancient civilization whose people were inherently superior and able to dominate all of the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean seas" is an absolute red fucking flag.

I'm going to jump out a window omfg a;lsdfj;alkgja

Here's a fun video for anyone who is still doubtful that explains in more depth how fucking bonkers the Atlantis conspiracy theory actually is.

I promise ACTUAL Greek history is extremely fascinating. Please stop buying into literal conspiracy theories, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

Oh great Mango from the... Wherever Mango's are from.

What is your wisdom?

He's very passionate about keeping as many patients away from his hospital as possible.

When in doubt, my wisdom is always "you can't think of any wisdom with a headache, take a sippy" and you'll never guess what! turns out i'm just dumb and can't think of anything smart to say in general! But at least I don't have a headache.

tldr: as we are now in a new year, it is important to remember that censorship of art, (of any kind) is incredibly damaging to fandom spaces. So, here are a few gentle reminders and helpful tips to remember when interacting in fandom!

Things you should not do in fandom spaces

not everything is written/created for you, and that’s okay!

If you find something that a writer or artist has created/written to be personally offensive, off putting, triggering, etc, please keep those feelings to yourself.

Do not leave hateful comments of any kind on a writer/artists work

Do not tell a writer/artist that they are romanticizing triggering/dark themes

The anon button is a wonderful feature, don’t abuse it

Do not hound writers to update their works or complain that they’re taking too long to update. We all have lives outside of fandom, so please have some grace

Just because you believe that a canon character has been written OOC, does not mean that the way the writer has chosen to write that character is wrong.

do not plagiarize or feed writers works into Ai or chat GPT

Things you should do in fandom spaces

reblog. reblog. reblog. reblog

leave kind comments on writers/artists works

provide helpful critique/constructive criticism only if the writer/artists asks for it

reach out to your favorite writers/artists

make friends

remember that you do not need to create to be apart of fandom! Fandom is for everyone 🫶🏻

Wrapping this up: fictional characters cannot harm you. What is harmful is censorship and morality police in fandom (especially in fanfiction) while it is entirely okay to personally not like something you read, do not shame someone for what they choose to write/create. Move on, block, touch some grass, etc.

Here’s to another year of sharing and creating art <3

A reminder in the wake of today's news: voting for anyone but the Democratic nominee (or not voting at all) is a vote for Trump and a vote for fascism

What it can be like to live with mild ME/CFS (individual experiences will vary)

chronic fatigue - this one may seem obvious but remember that fatigue isn't the same as tiredness. It's heavy, bone deep, and makes even simple tasks difficult

muscle weakness - going up stairs, lifting a glass of water and even speaking can be difficult. Sometimes I can't open the fridge.

Dysautonomia - my autonomic nervous system is messed up. It means low blood pressure, dizzy spells, poor temperature regulation, and orhtostatic intolerance (which leads to horrible nausea)

Brain fog - words disappear from my vocabulary. I forget what I was talking about in the middle of a sentence. I can't follow a conversation or a tv show. Reading comprehension is non-existent (all of this is great while being a master's student).

Short term memory issues - possibly related to brain fog, but a separate thing because I don't realize the memory issues are happening until someone points it out. Great when my kid tells me something and not only do I forget the information, but have no memory of having the conversation.

Flu-like symptoms - chills, nausea, weakness, muscle and joint aches. Do I have a virus or did I do too much? Who knows. Constant fear I'm going to be Actually Sick and not realize it because I always just assume it's a bad day.

Inability to work full time - I tried this, it did not go well, even with a pretty low activity job. I am not sure if I'll ever be able to work full time because mental activity has the same effects as physical activity.

Unrefreshing sleep - It doesn't matter if I sleep for 3 hours or 8, I'll likely feel the same when I wake up. Monitoring my heart rate variability (HRV, a good measure of energy levels taking into account CNS function) has shown that sometimes I even have less energy when I wake up. Joy.

So maybe this is a bit of a rant, but it's also a reminder that even a mild form of this illness (I'm so lucky to be mild!) is life-altering and has an effect on pretty much every thing I do.

I have privilege - thanks to my partner we are financially stable if I don't work, I have access to medical care and if I'm unable to take care of things, I have support. I am happy and I have been able to create a life that feels good and fulfilling even while I manage my symptoms.

I got sick in 2010, after a viral infection - no idea what virus but I had a pretty high fever and felt miserable for a few days. Not sick enough to go to the hospital, but enough that I knew I was sick. It's moving into winter in the northern hemisphere, where viral infections tend to rise.

Take care of yourself and the people around you. Get your covid and seasonal flu vaccines. Stay home if you're sick, wear a mask in public. I don't want you to get sick like I am.
