So there is an “x amount of calories is too little no matter who you are” post on my dash and all I can say is… if you do decide to lose weight, find out for yourself?

If you have an ED then obviously you can’t do this, but if you don’t… experiment. Are there reduced portions that maybe don’t feel amazing but don’t bother you a lot? Try that. See if it’s tolerable for you. Are there reduced portions that leave you feeling awful and food obsessed? Too far.

What I found and what I suspect a lot of people can find if they don’t have an ED is that I was eating as much as larger humans did because I assumed it was normal, but when I stopped going “what’s on my plate is a serving, because the waiter knows best” discovered I generally want less.

This fluctuates for me during my period, at which point I crave more food, and want the red meat I’ve been trying to eat less of. So I eat it. Then in a week when I feel less cravings, I go back down again.

Is it perfect? No.

Am I healthier than I was when MUST EAT 2000 NO MATTER WHAT?

Personally? I think yes.

#weight loss #seriously just use your brains #if you don’t have a disorder you’ll figure it out #there are no shortcuts #whether you’re listening to dieters or haes #ALL OF THAT is based on trends people are overinvested in #there is only one you

It would be really awesome (and probably 1000 times more effective) if we could focus this exact same anti-duopoly passion on the 2028+2032 US elections, right now

Because we're not gonna magically break a two-party system in under nine months with just Thoughts And Prayers And One (1) Ballot, and this one election itself is not going to be what improves American foreign policy -- our choices are unfortunately only allowed to be "Same But Potentially Pressurable" versus "Deeply Worse And Fuck You" -- but if we could, somehow, plan for and lay the groundwork for the next decade, and maintain that passion and follow through, we could absolutely drastically change our representation to be not only more progressive and effective, but get a LOT of shit done much quicker overall by having the actual congressional votes required to do things like enact national ranked choice voting, removing the cap on the House, and defunding the perpetual war profiteering machine.

Instead of this sudden "omg it shouldn't be this way so we should fix it by pretending it isn't" upsurge every cycle and then doing that over and over and over again, we could just do what the Tea Party did but in reverse because it fucking worked and it's what brought us the clusterfuck we have today. We could use those same bottom-up tactics to unfuck ourselves, but it takes at least ten years of sustained and cohesive momentum and community organizing to achieve and we can't even stop bickering long enough to begin to consider long-term work, so we cannibalize ourselves every four years.

#us politics #2024 elections #we need progressives to run so we have progressives to vote for #and we need to vote them up the ladder #before we ever have any hope of getting one in the oval office #which is exactly what the TP did on the other side of the fence #after Obama won they had TP reps in Congress in abt two years #and just eight years later their candidate achieved presidency #it CAN be done bc it HAS BEEN done #there are no shortcuts #and until the Glorious Revolution™ happens we unfortunately do have to work with what we currently have #no amount of pretending will change the fact that the two-party system is gonna have one of two outcomes #screaming into the void #rambles

semicolons are not only for formal essays and anyone who tells you otherwise wants to deprive you of the second most satisfying punctuation mark; do NOT believe them. i promise they get no bitches

#also. semicolons are one of my favorite fiction writing shortcuts #for getting across to the reader in a single sentence #that the character talking is (a) full of themselves with (b) diction so crisp you can tell where the semicolons are #and also (c) is probably some sort of obsessive little freak #writing #punctuation #semicolon

Driver Danny.

Danny goes to Gotham (you can pick why) and he's strapped for cash.

So he tries everything to keep the flickering lights on and the leaky roof over his head.

Dishwashing, pizza delivering, grocery shop Manning, beverage making, tutoring.

He does everything.

Eventually he ends up doing less then legal stuff.

Keeping a look out while a store gets robbed (didn't really feel guilty for that one, the owner was an asshole) work at the iceberg lounge.

Somehow he ends up as a gettaway driver...

Danny, the son of Jack "what's a red light?" Fenton.

He becomes the most sort after driver in Gotham.

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny sees every building as a shortcut #even the bats can't keep up in a car chase #Batman has no idea who Danny is #somehow danny ends up working for Jason's gang #jason is not telling Bruce who he is

Some Tumblr Tricks

1. Get a random blogpost from a blog

You like the content of a blog but theres just so much content and you want to see some older stuff? Great, just append /random to the URL and a random blogpost from that blog will be shown:

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/random

2. Use Keyboard Shortcuts

When you are on your dashboard you can use the following keybinds:

J -> Scroll forward K -> Scroll backward L -> Like the current post N -> See the number of notes Shift + E -> Add post to your queue Shift + R -> Fast reblog Z + Tab -> Quickly switch between dashboard and blog Z + C -> Quickly compose a post Space -> View photoset in a lightbox or start playing a video post

3. More URL tricks

Show all posts with a specific tag:

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/tagged/<tag>

Sort entries with a specific tag in chronological order

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/tagged/<tag>/chrono

Get all Posts from a date

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/day/JJJ/MM/TT

PS: Do not forget you can go totally crazy with the custom theme editor by for example adding a music player https://www.scmplayer.net/ or whatever. Make personal websites cringe again!

i havent seen it firsthand but ive heard hearsay of ppl supporting ai art bc its "accessible". i guarantee a good portion of artists did not start out with a 500$ dollar tablets but rather with a 20$ sketchbook and number 2 pencils. its a bs argument

#nevermind every digital artist who makes masterpieces in PAINT #or every other cheap and awkward medium #a good artist will be able to use any tool to their advantage #yes some will make it easier but it is by no means necessary #also i think ppl just need to accept their beginning art will not be good #it takes work and time #there are no shortcuts #just wildcat things #today wildcat gets passionate

FIG. 1: THE BRAIN.

Last stronghold, first breached.

This one was inspired by @quezify's work, particularly these pieces. They also have a piece called Embryology of a Wretch which feels very Victoria-core.

#so we all agree the mind-rape was fucked up right. wretching schmetching but this gave me CHILLS #victoria dallon #amy dallon #worm fanart #parahumans fanart #worm #vibes art #art #anatomy art #digital painting #glory girl #panacea #vibes uses glitch and melt effects to shortcut her art process more at 3

We don't talk enough about the fact that Amelia Pond, s5 Amelia Pond, before the timeline is reset, isn't just a normal orphan. Her parents didn't die, didn't abandon her, and didn't send her away. They never existed in the first place.

And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.

"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.

A child.

Now that's too big, surely.

But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.

And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.

In normal circumstances.

Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.

No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.

And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.

But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.

"Does it ever bother you Pond that your life existence doesn't make any sense?"
