hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Having bpd to me is like I'm the loneliest person on the planet, no matter how many people I talk to, no matter how many connections I make or have, I'm a lonely void who will die alone. I have to be talking to someone or with someone every second of every minute of every day. I love people so much, I need people. There's so many people out there with different things to teach you. And then, if I have to talk to one person for more than 6 seconds today, I'll kill them. I'll kill myself. I need to be left alone for the rest of the day, I need no one but myself to be happy. I don't want to partake in anything with anyone because it's all draining and taking out of my alone time. Everyone is the same, they're all boring and self-absorbed. Every conversation feels like I'm forcing myself to be actively present. I just want to be alone in my room with nothing or no one. I don't see a future where I'm happy with anyone other than being by myself.

How does the great Sandpiper successfully smuggle 130 children out of the Nilfgaard-occupied territory of Hamm? With the power of a forgotten story, a traditional song, and a masterful lie.
A piece for my upcoming fic, The Piper of Hamm, based on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, next in my fairy tale series.

We've known each other for a long time
I could always rely on you. You could always rely on me. We're a team, a group. Group of the two of us.
And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't

Hello everyone, I really don't like asking for it, but it's undeniable that me and my housemates could use some help.
We live in a very conservative area, and all of us are visibly queer. We're trying to raise funds to move somewhere safer, but the only way I can earn income safely is through art, as I've been threatened or put in harm's way due to my apparent trans-ness at every place I've worked at. My roommates face similar tribulations, living in the public eye here is simply unsustainable.
There's more info on the going-ons of our situation in the gofundme, but if you can't afford to donate, sharing this post, my commission post, or the gofundme on my other social medias does so much in the way of getting us out of here.
if you'd rather donate directly, my paypal and kofi.
We are extremely appreciative of any help we can get, shares makes a huge difference.
AND, for your time, an image of our cat, Mr Mayor, who you would also be benefiting.
Thank you.

Neuvillette's and Furina's splash art complete each other with a sideway heart forming around Furina if you follow the streams of water that start around Neuvillette's head.

the way that teal and leather are symbolic of their scars and the masks they wore, symbolic of the periods in their lives when they both felt isolated and disconnected from everyone, symbolic of the aspects of themselves they feel monstrous and poisonous for.
and the moment when they've both finally become aware that they are loved, that they are worthy, that they are accepted fully, happens while they're still dressed like this - the weapons they picked up to fight for the man they love laid at their feet, wielded when needed and then abandoned so they can embrace and press their love into each other's skin... it's healing to watch

time to make my annual post about this again since it’s almost spooky season and somehow people are still doing this in 2022:
do NOT use activated charcoal to dye your food black.
activated charcoal is what you give people who have been poisoned or overdosed because it absorbs it before it gets into your bloodstream. it will nullify your medications. so that leaves all your antidepressants, epilepsy meds, painkillers etc completely useless, as well as birth control (which, with everything going on right now, is really really bad). your spooky black ice cream or lemonade or whatever has the potential to kill people.
as a little spooky alt person, i understand, i really do. but please for the love of god just use black gel food colouring, it’s cheaper and completely tasteless and works WAY better than charcoal would anyway.
