I hate it when non-passionate people gaslight you into questioning your level of passion.

"The lesser of two evils" is a fallacy. Politicians are supposed to WORK for our votes and they won't fucking do it because you keep rewarding them for being slightly less evil than their opponents. Absolute buffoonery.

disability tumblr does anyone have any anecdotes about or resources for dealing with extreme brain fog/migraine symptoms induced by washing hair? I’ve tried:
Hot water
Cold water
Lukewarm water
Different shampoo
Showering
Using a cup in the bath
Using the sink
Drying it completely with a hair dryer
Letting it air dry
nothing seems to make a difference? I don’t have (much) pain and it usually doesn’t trigger a painful migraine — but like clockwork about 2-3 hours later I’m hit with the woozy underwater feeling i associate with a silent migraine. it essentially feels like I’ve hit my head or something. the entire left side of my skull is also always very sensitive to touch in an unpleasant way, and I always have a low level of tingling or numbness on that side. honestly at my wit’s end with this. not aided by the fact that I’ve literally found maybe one other person who experiences a similar post hair washing phenomenon.

Saw an article about colonialism in Mass Effect and went "Great!" until it reached the conclusion "...because Ashley is a space racist and that's her personality."
This shit again.
It's been discussed at length, so I'm gonna skip it. I was looking forward to reading an indigenous take in the way colonial mindsets define space exploration, but nope, sorry, the turians are not the equivalent of the Red Scare.
They're space cops. They tried to arrest humans for laws they didn't know existed. If anything, they're more of an equivalent to the US or some other overbearing country, barging in with weapons saying "You have to do things our way now!"
...and then just killing people when they don't comply because they don't even understand the language.
I understand why "I can't tell the aliens from the animals" sets people off, and I'm not saying it's aged well, but an in-game point is that you don't even know how sentient the Keepers are. We are not talking about humans.
We are talking about encountering entirely new species for the first time and expecting brand new people to be able to tell which species can talk and which species cannot.
When, again, functionally speaking the Keepers are not much different from the other sentient species. And they cannot talk to you.
All of this would probably be dismissed by the article writer as a defense of space racism. I don't think that's helpful or constructive. If you don't wanna mess with it, valid, but making blanket statements about something with this much nuance really grinds my gears.
The Asari had to step in and tell the Turians to stop for goodness' sake! Their entire society is based on the military! They were in the wrong! And all of this isn't even touching on the colonial aspect!
Like, yeah, it colors everything, but there were only a few other lines about how you had to save colonists from Batarians and that felt bad.
Look, the writers are not as culturally sensitive as they probably should be. A lot of the writing is very forced and hamfisted. I still don't think that means that making a society warlike is entirely wrong, because that's kind of just the way things work sometimes.
It would have been nice to have more exploration of the Batarians, yes. But they didn't even touch on the treatment of the Quarians, which is entirely reminiscent of marginalized people--specifically displaced people suffer because of widespread racism throughout the galaxy. Racism that is perpetuated by species that aren't human.
Gee I wonder who would be able to identify with that.
"Ashley is a space racist" is such a surface level take.
They didn't even mention Andromeda, which, although it's my favorite game, really ground my gears in this regard. You're asked to colonize a galaxy that has been harassed by genocidal invaders for years when the natives are still struggling to take back their own land.
Hello??????
I would really like to explore other options, especially because the Quarians lived on ships for so long. I still get huffy about criticisms of this game because they were on such a time crunch that it was inhumane, but they could have framed the story differently and that is inexcusable.
I wouldn't have minded not delving into thar if they'd said a bit more about respecting the culture of each planet, keeping the balance of the ecosystem in mind, or the fact that some of those planets were uninhabited to begin with.
But no, we gotta revive the Ashley is racist conversation again.
I'm so done.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

You know what I think about often? Why did we create a world we constantly have to escape from? 🤔

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.
Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.
It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?
Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
