When school is torture...
A comic about autism and “school avoidance”.
------------------
Commence Alt Text:
[PAGE 1]
Title: 'It's Not School Avoidance – Trauma, Burnout and PTSD in the Education System'. The first panel shows a woman, her face veiled in shadow and surrounded by a thicket of thorns. She looks alien, with pointed ears and cat-like eyes. The second panel shows her drowning, her hand grasping at the air. The next panel shows ghost-like arms twisting around her. The speech bubbles read: When I was a kid, school was the stuff of nightmares. An intense and overwhelming environment, overstimulating and demanding, and entirely unforgiving. It's where I learned to mask and how to lie about all manner of things. I faked so many illnesses just so I could have the break I couldn't ask for. All so that I could somehow stay afloat in a system that did not recognise my needs. Neurotypicals don't understand just how much school is not designed for people who are not like them. Nor do they understand what it's like when you have to return to the place that is hurting you, day after day after day.
[Page 2]
The woman lies with her head on a pillow, staring wide-eyed at the reader. Thorns creep around the edges of the frame. The text reads: It's nearly twenty years later, and I still have the nightmares. Not the same vague dreams about not doing my homework everyone gets, but vivid night terrors that revolve around school and the things it made me feel. I've been told it's a symptom of CPTSD. The second panel shows a dagger with thorns wrapped around it as it is slowly dragged into their midst. The text reads: Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder develops over a series of prolonged traumatic events. A disturbingly high number of autistic adults go on to develop it and can trace the root of their trauma back to the torturous experiences of their school years. So, I guess it's safe to say I'm not alone. But what's worse: It's still happening today.
[Page 3]
A girl is at the centre of the page, tears streaming down her face as scissors cut through her wings. Blood drips down the page. Thorns creep towards her. Another panel shows the woman's back with the shredded remnants of her own cut wings. The text reads:  Autistic children are being dragged through a grim education system that does not get their needs, quietly suffering. Parents are denied support if their child makes good grades or is quiet in class, because all is well. But the school doesn't see the tears and fights getting to the gates in the morning. Or the meltdowns/shutdowns as soon as the child gets home. It doesn't matter what's happening to their mental health. That a bubbly, happy child who loved to learn has turned into a despondent, empty shell of their former self. Above all else, school emphasises attendance rates. As long as that child is still showing up every day, it's seen as a success, no matter the cost—and the cost, sadly, is often steep for people like us.
[Page 4]
The girl and the woman are wrapped in a towering mass of thorns. Swords jut from the wounded woman's chest while she looks down at the girl who reaches for a hand trying to rescue her from her plight. The text reads: “Your child just needs to develop more resilience.” An infamous line that keeps rearing its ugly head. It comes from a place of ignorance, from people who have no idea how resilient these young people already are from living in a world not designed for their neurotype. But what can parents do? They're witnessing the damage forced classroom time is doing to their children, seeing it destroy them, but feel powerless to help. Keeping them home for recovery results in fines, warnings, and intimidation tactics. Seeing no other way out, some parents are forced to take their child out of school for good, opting for home schooling instead. They report needing years to repair the damage done to their child's mental health.
[Page 5]
The woman is seen healing the girl's back. Tiny wings sprout where hers were cut. The text reads: Homeschooling can allow parents to slowly build their children back up, coaxing them back to their former selves. But not everybody has the means to homeschool, and while it should always be a choice, it should never be one forced by desperation. The next panel shows the woman's own shredded wings. The final one shows her defending her child. Text: This whole thing is excruciating for autistic parents who experienced it all themselves while growing up and know exactly the damage that is being done, yet find themselves unable to protect their child from suffering the same fate. I want to be a parent one day, but the thought of school already fills me with dread. I want my child to benefit from a well-rounded education without paying the steep mental health price I had to pay. It shouldn't be too much to ask! And yet, I've fully prepared myself for the battles I'll have to fight.
[Page 6]
The page shows the woman twirling the girl around while she holds her hands and the girl flies with her new, full-grown wings. The woman's wings are still shredded, but she smiles knowing that she was able to help her daughter. The text reads: I want to raise the next generation of autistic people unburdened by school trauma or CPTSD. We need more autistic-friendly options, and lockdown and the pandemic showed that it's possible!  We need flexible schooling, less classroom time, more opportunities to do schoolwork from home, and low intensity classrooms for children who don't have parents who can support learning from home. Allow for recovery time and stop penalising low attendance rates! We want the education system to recognise the damage it's doing to young people and believe parents when they plead for support. There is more than one way to achieve learning outcomes, and we deserve a system that works for us.

AITA for asking my parents to pay my tuition for the semester, lying about how I lost my scholarship, and then planning on lying to my dad regarding his requirements in exchange for him paying the tuition?
My (20X) college has a scholarship for offspring of faculty members, and I was lucky enough to have my application accepted by the college that my dad (53M) works at. This means that I get a full ride scholarship; if I graduate within 4 years, I won't have to pay a single penny to my college (books and supplies not included, of course).
Unfortunately, the scholarship does have two requirements; I need to have taken at least a certain amount of credits semester before (not a ridiculous number), and for that semester, I need to have gotten over a 2.0/4.3 GPA. Easy enough, right? Who can't get a GPA over 2.0?
Well. I suffered a mental health downfall the past semester and I ended up failing half my classes. I was unable to sit my finals. I know this wasn't smart of me, and I think I should've done something about my academic situation other than just wait for the semester to be over, but I had quit a semester due to my mental health decline previously and I didn't want a repeat of that. In any case, I got a GPA of about 1.6. I'm not on probation but I did receive a warning.
Fortunately, this doesn't mean I lost my scholarship for good. I just need to fulfill those requirements in the upcoming semester and I get it back.
I realized I did need to pay my tuition this semester two days before tuition fee acceptance closes and I debated telling only one of my parents. My mom wants me to finish college no matter what, and my dad has told me that he does not care anymore as long as I don't stress him out. He's also told me he no longer has any expectations for me whatsoever. I did also consider talking about it with my brother and borrowing money from him to put together the tuition fee.
I figured I'd bite the bullet and just told my dad, who I know has been stressed about my future and how badly I'm doing in college. I just casually dropped it as I was making breakfast for myself and then we had a lengthy conversation that my mother (51F) joined when she got back home.
I don't remember much of the conversation (I may have memory problems) but the AITA mentioned part is that I lied to my parents and told them I did sit all my finals and try my best. I didn't. I tried that for mid term exams but I had nothing to write, so for finals I didn't sit them at all. This happened with three of the classes I was taking. I just didn't take my finals. My dad was suspicious of my claim; he said that as a professor himself he wouldn't fail students who at least submitted homework and sat their exams to write anything at all, but I maintained that I tried.
The conclusion was that my dad would be willing to pay my tuition if I got my shit together and also deleted my social media, which he thinks is a drain on my time and energy. He's not wrong. I deleted my Twitter accounts immediately afterwards (which my parents don't know about) because I've been thinking about it, but I can't really bring myself to get rid of Discord, where so many of my friends are. People I've met while studying internationally, long-term friends who moved to other countries; Discord is the only way to contact these people.
This is the AITA part; if my dad follows up on that particular requirement to check if I deleted Discord, which he particularly dislikes (he has previously confiscated the electronics I bought with my own money that I earned, after he saw me on muted call at night with some friends), I plan on deleting the app/program on my devices but using it anyway as a website. This would be a betrayal of my dad's trust in me, but there's no love lost between us anyway. He's already told me he doesn't love me unconditionally. (Yes, I'm his biological child and he did raise me.)
I also feel like an asshole because I could've settled this with the help of my brother; I'd pick up a job during the winter break to pay him back, but it would have been done eventually. Or I could've just gone to my mom. She works her own job, and we could've figured it out together without telling my dad. I told my dad anyway, wanting him to pay the tuition, even though I knew that talking about having to spend money on his kids stresses him out deeply.
My mom also told my dad to go to therapy (in detail, so I know it wasn't just something she said as a throwaway thing) during the conversation. It did get heated. I don't disagree, but I don't know if that'd be okay; mental health is stigmatized where I am, and my dad as a grown adult man and a respected professor if seen going to therapy could have his reputation kind of effected. It wouldn't have happened if I just brought up this whole situation quietly up to my mom, or just my brother.
So I lost my scholarship, I lied to my parents about the technicalities of how that happened, and I'm asking for some amount of money from my parents but also planning on lying to them in regards to the terms they set out. AITA?
What are these acronyms?

Being sick
Rottmnt edition
Romantic relationship not established yet
Raph
♡ would most likely be upset hearing the news, but after some thinking, I would take it as an opportunity to hang out with you
♡ Comes over to your place with groceries for chicken soup as much as he likes hanging out with you while you sick he's determined to get you feeling better
♡ Doesn't let you get up for anything for the reason being 'that he can get it for you'
♡ Plays music to help you sleep he says he'll wake you up when the soups done </3
♡ Check up on you he's just want to make sure you are resting
♡ Very worried mother vibes ngl
Leo
◇ as soon as you let him, you were sick he portals into your room with the sick day essentials like medicine, tea ingredients, etc.
◇ teases you about it but don't get him wrong he is still very much concerned about your health but he just won't let it show
◇ if you got house chores, expect them to ether be put off due to your sickness or done by none other than Nardo himself shock 😱😱😱
◇ If you have homework, hell, TRY to ether help you get it done or see if he can do it himself more often them not he just gets Donnie to do it
◇ instead of letting you rest he likes to keep you up to talk to him if he's gonna take care of you he might as well hang out with you
◇ if you do somehow manage to fall asleep, he'll probably end up leaving you alone, only entering your room to either check up on you or let you know the tea is done just like Raph</3
Donnie
Would come over at a time that's convenient for both of you most likely
When he does come over however he wears a mask and gloves can't be too safe after all
While preparing you medicine he'd give you a lecture about the cons of getting sick and the effects it has on your health and more importantly grades etc. and how to take care of yourself because he not always gonna be there to aid you thats a lie he'll always be there he just hates seeing you sick
The one and only time he actually does your homework is because you need your rest
Will absolutely NOT let you get up so your basically bed ridden the whole time
Other little head cannon, after you're done being sick, he'll enforce a schedule for a bit just to ensure you don't get sick as much and that you learned your lesson
Mikey
☆Your one and only person chef
☆ Makes you anything you want as long as you finish your soup
☆ Puts on something to watch while he's cooking, and he doesn't want you to get bored prob Lou Jitsu
☆ Although he doesn't like seeing you sick he think you look absolutely adorable all huddled up in those blankets!
☆ Cuddle time! It doesn't matter that your sick he's supposed to be a mutant warrior ment to end human kind right? So Draxum must have ensured that they have a strong immune system!!!
☆ He is also like a housewife in a sense? He basically makes sure your plants are watered trash is thrown out and the tissue box is always refilled
☆ This man expects nothing in return except quality time with you HES SO POOKIE
Srry if this was sort or bad this is my 1st time writing hcs 4 the turtles so please have patience with me!!! criticism is very much welcome just don't be 2 mean abt it ya know?

hiya! lets have a little chat, shall we?
Tumblr media
by now, im sure everyone or at least close friends have noticed that I am running on fumes! many things have popped up recently : right now, I am very sick while having to take care of my grandparents, swamped with projects and essays and homework, constantly studying, preparing for final exams at the end of next month, and constantly fighting my drafts and inbox. and to be QUITE honest, you don't wanna delve into the other issues i'm also having.
sooooooooooo . . . i've decided i'm going to archive this blog and move to a new one!
the url will be the same, and i'll announce it on this blog ASAP when i am finished setting up the new one - but this is being done for several reasons. primarily, i want to heavily reduce my mutual count to those who i enjoy on dash AND/OR write with and talk with common.
this is for the sake of my mental health . . . and with that being said, current mutuals - please like this post if you wish to stay mutuals on the new blog!
i promise, this is extremely rare and a one off occasion of me moving blogs. i never move unless i feel like i NEED to for my wellbeing. moving forward, i will be extremely selective based and comb through blogs thoroughly to see if i'm compatible with the mun.
please don't take it personally if i break mutuals with you on the new blog! but i don't like it when people follow 4 follow and never try to reach out to interact.
anyways, that's all for now! i'm gonna go cough up a lung while trying to survive -

A ramble on writing for my mental health
At the end of 2023, I calculated how long it would take me to finally get through the slow burn to the first kiss between Tom and Harry in Terrible, But Great.
At the rate I'd been posting at, I discovered that it would take an approximate of 3 to 4 years to get to the first kiss.
When I tell you that I lost it, I mean that I lost my motherfucking mind. 3 to 4 GODDAMN FUCKING YEARS to get to the FIRST KISS???
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I ranted. I screamed. I raged. Unacceptable. Absolutely not. Fuck no. I refuse. Friends would say, "No, it's okay. We can wait. Take care of yourself. Mental health. Important. Blah blah blah."
NO. I love you.
NO!
I don't want to wait that long. I, ME, the author, do not want to wait three to four years to share one of my favorite chapters of all time. I don't want to wait. My soul wept at such an idea. Because there's so much more to come after the first kiss. How long would it take me to finish what I'd started? Life is fleeting. Life is fragile. I know this all too well when my mother died far too young in my arms. I'm not saying something will happen to me, but this story is so important to me.
And so
A determination like no other came over me.
I made an immovable, unshakable goal. I needed to write every single day, before everything else in my life. It had to be first. I wake up; I write. I've gained so much good by going to college, but I've also lost so much when it came to writing. I needed this. I needed to write - before the duties, the homework, the chores, before EVERYTHING because I needed it.
I decided that 700 words a day was a reasonable goal for me. I could do it. I could reach that. If I wrote 700 words a day, it'd be an average of 21,000 words per month with a total of 255,500 words for all of 2024.
Not only would I reach the first kiss, not only would I finish Arc Two, I would also finish Arc Three, which contains the climatic purpose of the whole story.
On that day, when I never really made New Year's Resolutions in the past, I set this daily goal of 700 words per day.
It's now the end of January. Did I accomplish this goal?
Yes.
Tumblr media
-
This is a screenshot of my daily word count in January.
50,461 words.
Not only did I reach the goal, I surpassed it. There's 35,000 words more in Arc Two than there was at the beginning of January. There's 15,000 words more in Arc Three, Arc Four, and Arc Five collectively.
I discovered so much about the story in Terrible, But Great. I learned so much more about the characters. One day, if you're a reader of the story, you'll learn about it, too. I promise.
I learned there was an Arc Five, when I'd barely thought about a fully realized Arc Four. I learned about the final chapter, about the final lines.
I cried that day.
Life is still hard; it's still stressful. But you know? The depression that would settle over me by this point in the semester hasn't come. I'm so much happier than I've been for a long time. Putting what gives me the most joy in life has been the best thing I've ever done.
Yes, there are still some hard days. Yes, some days, it's harder to write. But as I look back on every day, I am so happy that I still choose my writing and story first.
Until next month.

Belly dance Week 16 Observations: "Opening Up New Worlds Via Egyptian Belly Dance"
I can't believe that I have been taking belly dance lessons for 4 months now! Woohooo!!!
I have mentioned before how any woman or non-binary person interested in amplifying their connection to the feminine must consider taking belly dance classes or any class where you get to broaden your hip-to-ass consciousness and its range of motion. If you can't afford classes YET, visualize yourself being able to. Use your imagination to walk yourself through your ideal day and bask in your belly dance lessons from here! When you are moving through lack/scarcity, it is not something to be ashamed of. It just means that at least 60 percent of your "free time" must include you colluding with the slow-footed or quantum leaping unseen realm and transcendentally playing in the prophetic dreaming space of your imagination to inspire a shift in consciousness. Anyone who has survived anything knows that even when you hit the bottom and life strips you of everything, you always have your imagination.
This is good news. We have always been more than survivors.
As a dancer (pole, aerial, and belly dance), I sense how the female form is nothing short of a creative canvas, a medium for sound, light, and expression to enter and exit and favorably impact anyone we encounter. We are always receiving and giving through our inner wisdom, so when we grow our dance skills, we gift observers with more light from our presence and heartfelt connection with our whole body, and not merely attempt to robotically connect with another from the limits of our mind/intellect. The better we learn to care for our body, the more deeply we can understand our inner workings and create new dreams through the portals of our body as a kind of moving prayer. For example, we can create an artful love story through our shaking in ways that enhance our health, quality of moon time and pelvic bowl, and vitality.
As someone with 3 Bachelor degrees, Accounting, Chemistry and Biology, through my university studies I learned the basics of physiology and anatomy—the muscles, tissues, blood and bones, but there is nothing like having a hands-on, body-based dance rites of practice with nightly homework that can only be done while dancing to ambient music and gazing into a full length mirror . What I have learned in my lived experience as a belly dance student for 4 months is that the human body, human potential, and performance optimization rest in understanding the fascial system as part of our own self-care. And belly dance or any other form of dance helps us to get to know our creative wisdom, our womb wisdom, more intimately.
Our spiralic female body needs movement like it needs air and water. We are naturally receptive beings and movement helps us to open, awaken, and let go the accumulations. When we belly dance or routinely move our hips and belly in multi-directional ways, we naturally unwind the fascia in every area, which decreases our body’s tensions, stuckness, aches and pains, and mystically unlock and realign us to our magic and miracles. When our body is working more harmoniously, we are naturally more magical and miraculous in this reality. That is because everything orients from inside the dark and radiates outwards eventually, like a seed becomes a flower, you see.
You must get to know this nebulous word called "fascia," pronounced "fas-sha." Not only is it valuable to your body, it secretly holds a lot of old narratives, inherited trauma patterns, and the results from “harmful” programming and the accompanying choices made in earlier years. Fascia is so valuable, earthy, and ancient that without it, our bones would just fall straight onto the ground. We would not be able to walk, stand, or move. Fascia is what holds us together. Literally. Pray to it. It is spider web-like substance, an intricate, a 3-dimensional net of connective tissue, a root chakra energetic, and the support system of our entire body. Like a spider web, when there is a blockage somewhere, the whole web will shift and pull towards it and create other irregularities in the webbing i. e. body.
In belly dance, our movement geometry is rarely linear. We unwind in spirals, waves, circles, breasts shakes, spinal undulations, gyrations, hip drops, belly rolls, figure-8s, shimmies, and other wild uncoilings which instinctively create more lubrication in our fascia. More lubrication eventually leads to new body narratives. And new body narratives leak wide open into new life narratives. Even when there appears not to be forward progression, we have the wet pussy energy flow to stay 100 percent devoted and confident in our passions, medicine, and purpose.

𝐷𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑁𝐺 𝐿𝐸𝑉𝐼𝐴𝑇𝐻𝐴𝑁 𝐻𝐸𝐴𝐷𝐶𝐴𝑁𝑁𝑂𝑁𝑆 ʚ🧸ྀིɞ
۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵۵
A/N ~ I haven’t made a post in a HAWT minute and thought doing some headcannons would be fun <3 I try to make some of these canon while also having some be fun and creative :3
gn!reader x Leviathan <3
game: Obey Me! Shall We Date?
Warnings: none but a crap ton of cute <3
Tumblr media
To start off, Levi is such a sweetheart, even when he’s trying to be mean and tough towards you
I mean, after all, you’re just a “normie” who “gets in the way of him and his anime/video games and rurichan!!”
But his expressions and face always say something different
He could be sputtering all these comments and nonsense at you as his face is literally the combination of BEET AND TOMATO red. And that’s dark.
luckily, once he starts warming up to you and allowing you into his more personal life, you both see each other as amazing as the other.
The day he finally works up the nerve to ask you out, he spends at least 2 hours rehearsing what he’s gonna say to you, while pretending that his pet Henry 2.0 is you-
Yes, this man would spend 2 hours asking out a fish.
He hardly got through his whole speech before you were already jumping into his arms shouting out “yes!! Of course!!”
Levi was happier than the day he discovered ruri-chan. And that’s saying a LOT.
From that point forward, he treated you like an absolute doll <33
gaming night? Nah, gaming WEEK. fr you guys would pull at most - 4 all nighters just gaming. Of course you’d sleep through the whole morning
All the brothers - ESPECIALLY Lucifer - scolded Levi for the affect his habits and schedule has had on you, since you picked it up after him eventually.
“Levi. Do you see the state Mc is in? They’re hardly sleeping, only eating a few meals a day, their eyes are red and puffy, their grades are dropping - how do you not see how wrong this is??” - Satan
*eye twitching* “Keep this up and i’ll be taking Akuzon privileges away from you. Then you wont have games to pull all nighters for. Oh, and a punishment. For the both of you.” -Lucifer
“OI! Look what you’ve done to Mc! How am I supposed to cheat off their homework and exams if their fallin’ asleep in the middle of classes?? Ya better fix their schedule Levi!” -Mammon
*LE GASP IS REAL* “Levi! What have you done to our gorgeous, lovely Mc?? Look how pale and hungry they are- and the dark bags.. the hair- Mc, love… to my room! Right this instant! Asmo will fix you right up with a nice warm bath and spa day~ with me of course!♡” -asmo
“Levi.. at least feed Mc proper food and nutrients, how are they gonna be strong and healthy enough to defend themselves while down here? It’s not healthy to skip meals, come on Mc. We’re gonna order everything at Hell’s Kitchen.” -beel
“You’re taking my human sized pillow away from me.” -belphie
He’s had enough of the complaints 😻 SO, he actually changed up his daily routine to help you get back to being healthier <3
It was a bit tough at first, but he realizes that you’re human and don’t exactly have the same functions as a demon.. you actually need sleep and proper food and all that…
So now you both eat 3 meals a day, sleep 8+ hours, and you’re back to excelling in your classes <3 all while fitting in some time to watch movies, play games, cosplay, read or cuddle together!
He is someone who never had a lot of affection - with him being a shut-in and all that- so he wasn’t exactly the best at giving/receiving attention and love.
But as time went on, it got easier! And you’ve truly changed him as a demon <3 he gives the best - and i mean the BEST cuddles ever. Even when he’s small spoon!
Was a bit inexperienced with… well, pretty much everything, but he learned quickly as you helped him feel comfortable and confident with everything he did :)
He is very very very soft for you <3 you both rarely -if not never- fight or have arguments, you’re both just so healthy and compatible, and he plans on keeping it that way!
He really cares about your health ever since he saw the affect staying up for days and days had on you, and you think its the cutest thing ever <3
Protect this demon AT ALL COSTS. Seriously, even holding your hand makes him a trembling blushing mess
make the smallest kind action towards him and he’d literally ask you to marry him out of reflex-
Texts with him basically consist of:
Keyboard smashes: “LMAOAOANXSM THAT WAS TOO FUNNY ADMIT IT AJFNSJCJSJFHHSJD”
Memes. So. Many. Memes.
“Mc Mc Mc Mc I GOT A NEW GAME BEFORE IT WAS EVEN RELEASEDDD WANNA PLAY IT?? IT’LL PROBABLY GET US TRAPPED IM A TIME LOOP OR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE BUT IT LOOKS FUNN :DD”
“Rofl” “lmao” “xD” “LOLOLOL” “yolo tbh” “fr” “kek” AND LOTSSS OF KAOMOJIS LIKE “ʕ; •`ᴥ•´ʔ” “ʕ╯• ⊱ •╰ʔ” “(`Д´)”( ̄^ ̄)””凸 “(๑•̀д•́๑)”
He literally cries in fetal position everyday and has a sixpack, if this man isn’t perfect to you, LOWER YOUR STANDARDS
Weeb at its finest but you like.. kinda adore that about him or something 😋
#stanlevisupremacy WOOOOOOO
He’s so cute it makes me wanna sob

4.22.24 10:25 am
The last month I have been severely avoiding homework because I've been so overwhelmed. So overwhelmed that I didn't even want to journal cuz it felt like too much. I took Friday off and sat down this weekend and crammed all weekend. As a result, I have basically finished 3 out of 4 of my classes apart from finals
I am very proud of myself. My partner bought me a pie from my favorite pie place as a, "Good job! You're working so hard!" This pie place house makes their own pies, they are so fucking good. One of these days, when I have more time, I want to start baking more. I love to cook and have been helping him meal prep for a few months. One of my favorite things to do with someone is to cook together.
The closer the moving date gets, the more excited I am. Since I committed to the decision, everything's felt a little calmer. This will be a really good step for me, I know it. Getting out of here will be really good for my mental health. I need a fresh start. I have plenty of money saved up now, but since I'm quitting my job halfway through may instead of at the end, I worry it'll dwindle a bit. I think it'll be okay though. My partner says that if I believe in myself, that I can do a task, it is way easier to do, just by mindset. Psychology is so interesting and I adore learning more about it every day. It's crazy just how much mindset and environment can affect a person. That's why I've been working towards surrounding myself with good people, and trying to stay positive the best I can. No need to make things harder for myself, right?
I've already started packing up my room. I've been trying to wait because I need all my energy to go to school and coursework right now, but I am ready to get packed up so I don't have as much to worry about when I get back from vacation.
I think renting a uhaul would be cheaper than fixing up my old car. It needs about $300-$400 in repairs and registration etc. right now and i doubt it's even over $100 to rent a uhaul to tow it. Plus, I plan on selling it right after, so there's no need to go through all of that for only a 6 hour drive.
Since I had a bit of free time this weekend, I painted and explored an abandoned house. There's quite a few spots we have to scout before we go, but I have about 10-15 locations here that I still haven't done yet that I hope I can get at least half in before I leave in that last week of may. I'm hoping to get some hiking in before I leave as well
39 days left here

friendly reminder that it's just not realistic to have a packed week and then tell yourself you'll get things done the moment you have a free day.
i just had an incredibly stressful week that i had no choice but to push through and keep running on below zero energy levels and expected myself to finish my homework and practice for an upcoming audition today.
i woke up at 2 pm, had reeses puffs cereal for breakfast and layed in bed until 4:30 before i could even fathom getting up and getting to work and i'm still exhausted.
it's perfectly fine and normal to need a lot of rest. even if it feels or looks like you're just being lazy, even if you don't have the time to rest. fucking rest, your work and your health will be better for it.

Here's some that go into the racism antisemitism and also making fun of homeless people, as someone who was homeless for 4 years making it a punchline is disgusting, I can't find this one post that goes into the racist stereotype nitzy? I think? Is because she died in the 50's, yellow skinned, cleaning lady, whole thing
First off, she has a lot of haters accusing her of everything under the sun due to mistakes she made when she was younger. They blow this out of proportion saying she’s exactly like JKR when this is false.
THAT BEING SAID
I absolutely CANNOT defend the appropriation of voodou symbols. (However you spell it). Granted, Alastor is supposed to be Creole himself - but still….I’m hoping going forward for the full series this mistake will be corrected as this was just in the pilot.
Another thing we have to keep in mind is what we see in the pilot is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to canonical lore. The series proper should hopefully reveal all the canon lore that has been confirmed by Vivzie in the future - everything from Alastor being Creole and sinners being unable to leave the Pride Ring should come up in the show, among other things. Likewise with Helluva Boss, a lot of the canon still hasn’t been shown yet, but slowly over the course of the series, the things that have been officially confirmed (such as the social stigma of an Ars Goetia sleeping with an imp) took some time to show up.
A lot of the accusations come from people who haven’t even seen the show or have any desire to watch it, let alone know any of the canon the shows have yet to pick up.
As for the homeless person in the HB pilot - he was more or less a background element I think….not a joke….
As for the Sausage party stuff…I looked into that Twitter thread and some of those drawings don’t even look like her art style. I want even more proof for this one. Nothing is unbiased but I need a lot more evidence. Lilith though - yeah I can understand that. I have to say I’m no expert on either Jewish or Christian scriptures. From what I can guess - and correct me if I’m super ignorant here - is that there’s a lot of overlap. I do need to do some homework here, but while I can show concern over, say, goblins and Mr. Pinch in Pizza Tower, and decry anti-Semitism over the goblins in Harry Potter - ESPECIALLY Hogwarts Legacy, Lilith in Hazbin Hotel is a bit more complicated. I know way less in the case of Lilith, unfortunately.
In short this is a complicated mess, especially when people accuse her of everything under the sun - some of which are past mistakes she apologized for because we all do stupid stuff when we’re younger, things done out of ignorance - and then there’s things that are complete reaches and grasping at straws.
Also - with all the bullying and hate she gets, I think she’s sick of it and it really does a number on her mental health. So her blocking “critics” is probably because she just can’t deal with all of this. I get it. I hate that so many people will hate you over past mistakes because every mistake you make online is forever. And then those people will accuse you of being a flaming bigot and grasp at straws for your current projects when there is no real damning evidence.
I bet a lot of people are gonna be thinking that of me now that I’ve written this post. Or hell, even the shit I did here in 2015/2016 when I was a real depressed individual. But that’s the nature of the internet, sadly. It can’t be helped.

i've been feeling so drained, physically and emotionally so much more than usual, for the past 1 almost 2 months. I have to go through 4 flights of stairs to get to my classes multiple times to get to my classes, i dont know anyone in my classes, and i've done 30+ hws in the past 3 weeks already, and even more tests next week.
I can't even see my old friends anymore, and there's too much work to do I can't even go play with my other cat. It's physically impossible for me to do any tasks anymore. The four flights of stairs are a death sentence towards me, even walking a short distance exhaust me already. My friends messaging me in between classes are literally keeping me going for the most part and I can't even meet them irl.
I have to do so many social work out of my comfort and i don't even know this people, it would be fine if they were decent it it was really necessary but at this point it feels like they mess everything up for me on purpose. Everything was so nice last school year, it was my best ever, now im stuck with people i hate in a new area.
I have so much work to do other than homework and other in school aswell. I need to prepare for my hilton performance, I have to practice the t sax, I have out of school things to do aswell, and in home chores.
Im so drained that I can't even do my hobbies happily anymore. if I cant make art, draw, crochet, sing, or play my saxophone with emotion it's no use, it's not even art anymore at this point. I've lost interest in almost everything.
I haven't been eating a lot. I haven't been feeling hungry in a long time properly, I haven't been getting the proper sleep and I'm always so tired, even then when I do get nice sleep I still feel tired. I feel fatigued all the time even more. My health feels like it's been deteriorating even worse than usual for the past year. I can't run like I used to, I can do exercises and other physical activities energetically as much as before, it's horrible. I'm not even old yet, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
I just wanna lay down and stay there forever.
At least i have my friends. Even if it's not irl. It's a blessing really.
There's still the ocean though. I really like the ocean, I really like going to the aquarium, it's been one of the best highlights of my life so far. The ocean's everything to me right now, I wish someone can take me to the aquarium again, i love it there. I really do. I wish I could live in the ocean.

Good afternoon fellow blue app perusers!
Today's post is a bit late because at my planned time, at lunch, I had to finish some homework I had meant to do two days ago already. But at least I got it done! Unlike last night's post because I had procrastinated too much. But also did a bit of some things!
• Did some food and cuisine worldbuilding for the tropical island country of Jute (see @tropical-saa for more)
• researched Vanuatu's national food laplap for that, and I would honestly want to try it
• Added a short story, a just-story about humans learning language from a bird to the collaborative worldbuilding wiki (also on @tropical-saa) and gave some in-universe context to it
• Added an article on traditional approaches to mental health on Jute to the same wiki, based on blog posts (again on @tropical-saa)
Today!
Tumblr media
I had a class on machines. These green perhaps inscrutable pieces of technology are supposed to help break up the soil, a bit similar to those machines that break twigs and branches into small parts (woodchippers is apparently the word). They are relatively heavy and have bunch of dials and functions I still don't understand.
Tumblr media
Apparently they are made by Ferrari in Italy, the same company that makes the famous sports and Formula 1 cars!
Tumblr media
A tractor for moving large amounts of grass. But cleaning the blades is difficult, and you sit right behind the engine, so you might breathe in toxic fumes.
Tumblr media
That's why these "riders" are preferred, where the engine is in the back and preparing to clean the blades is a walk in the park. I tried it after observing it being done once, and I had no issues at all, and just needed about 4 minutes to do all the steps and then undo them to make the vehicle ready again.
Both the tractor and rider have height-adjustable blades, you use what looks a bit like a gearbox on the right to change it.
Tumblr media
Today I also got a free plush bun! 😊
Goals!
• Once again, reading and writing. 2 x 10 pages and 15 minutes.
I really have to internalize the fact that my books are actually much more interesting than aimlessly scrolling through feeds online, hoping to find something. Instead, my books are interesting right away, I just need to remember them and push through any weird excuses I have to not open them. Then I also have more to talk about here and my feed scrolling will actually have a purpose, trying to find people with similar interests, who have read similar books etc.
As for writing, not many seemed to have had an interest in voting, so I will do what I would want personally, which is to combine option 1, 2 and 4. Posting on my website, a new side-blog and reblogging here.
Be excited for the return of the courtroom drama with a transgender protagonist!
• Finally do the plant blog updates.
I am ready to do this exciting work that I have been told has been well regarded by many. It's really not hard or takes a lot of time. My plan for the first new post is to go over the garden cosmos flower, and add heights and other missing basic data to other entries.
• Math club and sewing club!
To be honest my main motivation here is to meet and talk to more people and have a new opportunity or two to share my cookies, but I also am interested in both mathematics and sewing enough that I want to give both a try!
See you later!

who are you????????? you're like so cool and you follow me on tumblr????
you had a massage job with a flirty muscle lady and now you're asking your adviser to do some work within the bdsm community and I have no idea what you even do??
you're like a cool person how is that possible on tumblr dot com
Aww, thanks. Despite all the people saying Id eventually grow out of wanting to be cool, that was a lie and the while world runs on flattery! I think im cool too, but im supposed to politely say thanks instead of hamming it up.
Im kind of a jack of dropped trades. Wanted to be a fieldresearch wildlife biologist for awhile but then dropped out to dissapoint my family and move in with my partner 4 states over. Loved being a massage therapist but got frustrated with my level of power in the medical system. (Not from clients but from insurance companies and other healthcare providers, it was so frustrating advocating my clients get their sessions paid for when they had "legitimate" pain (all pain is legit)).
So now Im working to get my doctorate in occupational therapy which is kind of like applied pt and psychology. We ask clients what they want to do, find what is preventing that task from being done, and address that prevention either by removing it, finding substitutions, or ways to help reduce the problem. Lots of OTs work in schools with kiddos who have barriers to doing homework. Some with adults who want to get back into crochet or cooking after a hand injury and we need to practice how thatl work.
Specifically I want to work with people who want to have sex, but have access issues due to health and safety. Maybe they have spinal cord injuries, maybe they have RA, maybe their bp medication makes their skin tear dangerously easily in unsexy and life threatening ways. Who better to address these concerns than the bdsm community who work so hard to design toys, buildings, furniture and mpre to support boring sex, weird sex, almost sex, not sex, wild sex, and competitive ranked sex. (Also everyone who has any awareness of the culture can clock me and my partner from blocks away even in a plainclothes setting just by posture alone)
I have to spend an entire year (at least) doing a big project for the school and then present it to people who will try to make me speak for and defend the research (this is tradition in america). I might just end up lurking at a sexual health clinic like planned parenthood but I dont want to just cover sexual health yknow? I want to help people fuck however they want! Best of all my school SEEMS to support my ideas sofar because sexual health and family planning are deeply important and very poorly addressed in our society. but we shall see how things continue to go. Love my school, they let me cosplay on a clinical gradschool campus and take my commentary on subcultures and nontraditional lifestyles very seriously.
Glad I could make someone happy by doin my thing. Thats a little about who i am

reading through the amphibia tag and watching people analyze things through the very specific lens of their own belief of what things look like being the only way they can be
point the first: grief is weird and messy and complicated. people you have known your entire life can not hit you for months, you could be crying over a coworker you've known for 4 months. you can cry over your abuser and father of two of your children dying to old age, you can have no reaction to a soldier dying side by side with you, but write books about the nature of war later.
to say someone in denial that doesn't cry it out onscreen, but does overwork herself to near death and become hyperprotective means the writers aren't respecting grief or their feelings is simply a 'does not logically follow'. reasoning about what is 'realistic' requires knowing what happens for real around a phenomenon, otherwise it's just 'that's not how I would have done it'
homework: read this and consider how it doesn't match, or does, your concept of grief. look at people's responses to it. consider how you would show that in a show for 13 year Olds, and how it wouldn't look wholly dissimilar to Sasha in S2 and S3, or Anne in S3, with different focuses to distract them:
point the second: just because some characters obviously deserve better, and others have to be shown to deserve better, does not mean the first characters don't matter. do teenagers with bad coping mechanisms deserve love and friendship and freedom? obviously, what kind of person world say differently? anyone who would needs to think real hard about how they treat teens.
but does a 1000 year old executor of their kingdom's colonist history and literal hivemind's subject deserve a chance to reject it, and perhaps become a better person? that's an argument you have to make onscreen because the answer is not an obvious yes! maybe you still don't think they should! but it would be ridiculous for them to not argue it.
also people should consider not minimizing or ignoring the parts of the show that do what they wish the show did. having anne hide her search history in the quarantine song is prelude to her obsession, again and again she pushes to progress the quest home, ignoring her health, her community, her family, and the law, and so many people go 'well, she can't possibly care about her friends stuck in amphibia'.
your bad analysis, and requirement for a show to specifically match your own model of what a thing looks like or else it did nothing is a failure of critical analysis. you need to compare it to a broad scope of reasonable models, and the 'denial while working yourself to death and higher danger' model is perhaps one of the most common ones in media. to ignore it in a media analysis of grief is a fatal flaw
to demand a show spend time on each character and their threads in proportion not to the show's needs, and general normal moral positions, but instead to how much you personally would have enjoyed them, is not crit analysis, it's your preference. go write fanfic about it. don't treat it as absolute and obvious failure of a specific media. sashannarcy is fucking popular. ignore andrias all you want. or don't.
like teenagers and many people, you can be better. consider the concept of a critical lens, and what your 'default' lens looks like. consider learning and using different lenses, especially Doyle-ist ones, when judging whether a show did the 'right' or 'wrong' thing
