This is a highly specific issue, but it seems to be a common one in some circles, so PSA: if your source arguing for one issue goes out of its way to argue against people's existence on an unrelated or barely related topic, that's not a good indicator of what that source is like. All that does is tell people that they shouldn't believe this source because it's perfectly fine with throwing intolerant opinions in with its arguments. Maybe read your sources before you use them to try winning Discourse Points™.
Vent post but okay to reblog.

Half-joking here, but the reason I don't agree with people saying shit about AO3 isn't because I don't find some of the stuff on there disgusting, it's because I don't trust a single person on this site to recognize the difference between pedo shit and just something that happens to be badly written or making a point they don't get.
Like, y'all know how badly people can misinterpret things on this site. You've seen how quickly serious accusations are made due to inside jokes that were purposefully twisted for Discourse Points. My stance isn't "it's fiction so it's okay," my stance is "there's not a single person on this site who I can reliably say would be able to judge whether or not a fanfiction is solely meant to be child porn and nothing else with one hundred percent accuracy." And yes, that includes me!
Everyday I see people on this site who don't read the documents they're citing as sources, or who think characters making bad decisions means the story as whole is bad. And you think we should trust Tumblr to do literary analysis??

Realizing a lesser known label fits me like
"oh"
"ohhh"
"oh no"
"ohhhhh no"
"is there any community for this?" *checks* "... There's five posts on Tumblr about this"
"oh no"

Sometimes I can't even believe how wide-spread neuronormativity is like djdnkddn I just saw a website that had the whole "what do you mean people with this mental condition can look things up about their own symptoms??" deal but with a goddamn eating disorder
I want to give this website the benefit of the doubt because this disorder is usually present in younger children, but we've known it also occurs in adolescents and adults for several years now, so it's not really an excuse xjskdnks

Anyone else annoyed when people make image descriptions and then make them unnecessarily small? As in, when they lower the font size a couple degrees like this?
Like, I know the primary reason for image descriptions is so people with screen readers can tell what the image is, but other people with their own issues use these, too. I need IDs sometimes for various reasons, but I don't use a screen reader – I just have trouble reading/understanding the image, and IDs help with that. But when people make their image descriptions small, I have to strain myself to access the accessibility device. It puts me back at square one by making me strain my eyes and pick apart the text bit by bit – which was usually my issue with the image in the first place!
If your accessibility devices can't be accessed by the people who need them, you're not actually helping the people you're trying to help.
Td;lr: stop writing your image descriptions in small text, it makes them unavailable who need them but don't have screen readers.

Me: am I being weird by researching psychosis? Is it weird to self-dx as psychotic? Like, I want to take this seriously, and what if I'm making a big deal out of nothing?
The delusion I had less than a week ago about being a doll: bruh

Sometimes you feel a bit off and can't figure out why because all those self-care checklists aren't working for you. I advise you... To go pick a song you like, type it into the YouTube search bar, and add "daycore" or "slowed" after it. Sometimes you just need a song slowed down! It might not solve the problem completely, but it can help a lot. Especially if you sing or hum along. And once that song is done, go onto another one – another one you know, or just whatever video catches your interest. Music can calm and heal, and I know that sounds cheesy and like an exaggeration, but it's real. Music is recommended to help people calm down, manage their emotions, get them in a certain frame of mind, etc. So really, to leave you all with a joke: go listen to something slowed down and maybe you'll feel better (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Someone: these characters are bad and thus the entire show is bad. Why couldn't some of the characters have been good people? Obviously it's trash
Me: ... this is a show about demons in hell.

[ID: a redesign of the cassflux flag, a pride flag with six stripes. The colors of these stripes, from top to bottom, are: black, dark tan, yellowish green, green, teal, and blue. / End ID]
I've made a recolor of the cassflux flag before, but since then I have become much better at redesigning flags. Here is my proposition of a cassflux flag redesign, with the flag no longer a gradient and much more recognizable for what it is.

What do you call someone who holds loud conversations after telling you to do work, always leaves class when you need them most, and can't keep track of the assignments they set?
A Chorus teacher.

Whenever I think I'm faking something and doubting myself I go "would I put this much effort into tricking myself into believing something?" because the answer is no, I'm lazy as fuck

Why is it always I ask someone about how to write something and then I find out I am that thing, huh
Me: hey how do I write an aro character?
Me, later: *lies awake in bed at night because I realized I'm arospec*
Me: hey how do I write a character with plurality?
Jay, later: hey you've been a system for at least two years we just didn't tell you before now

Not sure why I ever thought my love language was physical touch. Look at me. I'm a gift giving machine. I make people so many gifts they don't know what to do
