Today I:

Took my meds

Intended to go to a swap meet but forgor to bring anything to swap

Went to a bunch of thrift store and a toy store instead

Haul :3

Spent the afternoon listening to TGE again and fixing pony hair

Folded laundry

Ate invasive signal crayfish for dinner. They were tasty! :D

#diary so i don't lose my mind

neurotypicals will be like "you can't self diagnose" and then diagnose everyone they dislike as a narcissist

idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”

$1,000,000 deposited into your bank account every day for the rest of your life or sex with Jafar?

#if i got 1000000 every day i could pay for several jafar cosplayers to have sex with

Here, have a spark of hope.

The reality is that no single person can fix the entirety of the current ecological imbalance that has been literally centuries in the making at this point. Yet there are so, so many of us who care, and who are doing what we can to make a difference in whatever every day to day ways we're able. I often think of conservation efforts like the Loren Eiseley story "The Star Thrower" (aka, "the starfish story"). Amid a beach full of stranded starfish, one person cannot possibly save them all, but they can spend what time they have saving those they're able.

And this study shows that these efforts do, in fact, make a difference, not just for starfish but a myriad of species. This meta-analysis of almost 200 studies definitively proves that conservation preserves and restores biodiversity, keeping more species from going extinct. It's all too easy to get entangled in the losses, but we even more need to allow ourselves to celebrate the wins.

That success is crucial to convincing governmental entities and other stakeholders that putting funds toward conservation efforts makes a significant difference and is not only worth the investment, but worth increasing. And, on a personal level, it's necessary for those of us who care so deeply for this world to know when our efforts are having an impact, to buoy us up when the anxiety and grief over ecological destruction wears us down.

There is hope. Keep it up, folks; it's helping <3

the problem isn't just that media literacy is slowly becoming a dying art. it's that people straight up do not pay attention when they watch tv/film anymore.

#they also don't rewatch/reread things to understand them better #not all things are meant to be easily digestible #sometimes stories are genuinely amazing. if you just get through them twice.

“how would you feel if someone blocked you just because they found you annoying?” then i wouldn’t have to interact with someone who thinks i’m annoying? i don’t see a problem

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

#unfortunately my extremely specific but seemingly innocuous kink is hooves and hoof-looking shoes #show me a close-up of some nice looking satyr legs and i get instantly turned on #i wish i could Not but alas #my equally specific and much more powerful (but less innocuous) kink is transformation #i can't watch werewolf movies with getting hard #it's really annoying #when i was 13 i thought the transformation in american werewolf in london was the sexiest thing ever put on screen #anyways remember that reddit post about the guy who had a trading/bartering kink #also i have a friend who frequently gets boners by blackboards. like. touching them or just watching them. #he doesn't indulge in his inexplicaple arousal by blackboards. but it's there. he doesn't understand it either. #OH i'm also unfortunately turned on by men in stupid 1700s clothing. powdered wigs and all. the gaudier the better. #something something femboy/peacock/clown hybrid #if you can't tell i'm also an exhibitionist
