I always found it strange why some people always said things like "oh yeah I'm an empath! you're aura is bad"

Um, that's not how that works.

An empath scientifically speaking is basically:

Scientists found special group of brain cells that specialize compassion. Basically an empath is just stronger brain bits that pick up other people's moods way easier. The cells allow us to mirror emotions of others we see and such. Which is why if you have a galfriend sobbing over a breakup you might feel a bit sad too. An empath would potentially also cry cause the cells are stronger. The brain is weird and makes us weird and that's what's fun about humanity.

There's different types of empaths too. They're not really "types" but more like, one person stubs their right toe and you feel it vaguely or strongly on your own toe.(this one is fucking weird. Might do more research on it and make another post about it) and another which I think I have but could be totally wrong is something called an intuitive empath. Why it's called "intuitive" I have no god damn clue but it's basically like before (brain bits) and they pick up other people's brain bits. Cause everything is ✨hormones✨ this is why some animals can "smell fear" aka they pick up chemical cues. Research doesn't say intuitive empaths smell shit but they can be like "hey what's wrong?" When the person is neutral cause they "sense" they're upset.

However some places are just "ohhh they're Physic" no. We're not phycic. We're just strong brain bits. Some more so than others. We're not some fantasy superpower.

Edit: I almost forgot. The mirror neurons brain bits is in the bit of the brain called the anterior insular cortex

#Vin's rambling again #im not gonna force anyone to agree or belive me cause empath is a subject no one seems to agree on #and i don't want hate on the blog #however #brains are weird #and we have stuff like aphantasia and synthesia and all other brain stuff #I would show links to websites i researched the brain bits on but i don't know how to post links on posts #but if you look up #what is an empath scientifically #or anything like it #it should give you the articles #for me personally i have met people who acted kind and the back of my head felt vibrationy in a sence like a very faint anxiety #and every time the friendly person turned out to be really mean to me or others #im not saying im phycic cause that's in farytails and not possible but the stronger compassion brain bits makes more sence to me #at least more so than #oh hey this person looks nice but makes my head faintly give of fight or flight while this edgy fellow doesn't #like #idk man it just seems weird

There's something that always bothers me about people saying "Barbara going back to being disabled" doesn't matter if it's positive, negative, or neutral. It's the "going back" part because it's just not true. She wouldn't be going back, she would just be without assistive medical technology.

In the closest real-life example, not everyone who uses similar technology is considered "cured" as the removal of the device would mean they are no longer enabled. In only a few cases have I ever seen "cured" but that's potentially dependent on injury/cause of disability where it was possible the device just made recovery easier and there are many different causes to SCIs/paralysis/similar conditions. Others have no chance of recovery but have a chance of being enabled. But still not fully becoming an able-bodied person. Even some of the ones who recovered their ability to walk were still limited in what they were capable of (and therefore still disabled)

So honestly now, it's just coming to me how bad representation the chip is of similar realistic treatment and disabled people who use that treatment. Before anyone is like "But Barbara's isn't real" I know that, but now I'm literally seeing people say the same shit about REAL PEOPLE who have had nearly THE SAME TREATMENT because they're letting poor representation in a comic book determine how they view this course of medical treatment.

TLDR: No Barbara Gordon wouldn't "go back" to being disabled without the chip. Writers and fans aren't good at writing disability and it shows

#I'm pretty sure the only one that has 'guaranteed' by it's own claim to be a cure is Neuralink which is Elon Musk so..... #take of that what you will #barbara gordon #oracle #batfamily #batfam #batman #dc comics #Like I'm reading legitimate research articles about this and in only a few cases has 'cure' been used to describe the process #also why am I reading research articles? well if comic writers aren't going to be nerds anymore someone has to be lol #but really who's surprised a bunch of people don't give an actual shit about disability even when they pretend to #not my disabled ass that's for sure #disability #actually disabled #actually I should say the only other things calling similar tech 100% cures even if the chip were to be removed are also clickbait #I feel like I shouldn't have to mention that but really I do

nothing will make you sympathise with conspiracy theorist ideology more than having a seemingly rare reaction to a vaccine lmao.

#reading articles that try to falsify genuine incorrect information about the covid vaccines from 2021 is making me feel insane #'there's no way the covid vaccine can trigger an autoimmune disorder' uhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH #factually extremely wrong! #they're soooo condescening too like why on EARTH do you think people who are genuinely sick or scared would believe you. #they'll be like there's no scientific evidence that anyone can be harmed by the covid vaccine <3 blatantly untrue. #I know that part of this is retrospect like obviously since more studies have come out and all #but it's infurirating bc they're from the time *I* was having those symptoms *and* telling doctors about it *and* being told the connection #to my other severe symptoms from the covid vaccine were Utterly Impossible (since proven false) and that if the symptoms WERE related #it meant i had a life threatening illness at worst and had a high chance of losing my vision at best #likeeeeeeeee #doctors still DO NOT know what the fuck they're doing do NOT trust anyone who gives ANY 100% answers #i don't know why i'm doing this i just said to stop obsessing but i'm just reading pages and articles on countering misinformation to make #sure i don't -- i want to know the conspiracy theories to recognise them immediately right #and then people are just saying bullshit to defend themselves #i mean most of the anti covid vacc people were also far right so i don't have too much sympathy for their vaccine ideology #but like. fucking hell what a way to push people into conspiracies. #you CAN'T counter misinformation by SPREADING MORE MISINFORMATION #just because it SOUNDS BETTER and MORE REASSURING to say there's not chance of harm doesn't mean you should #there's A LOW chance of harm THAT IS MUCH MUCH less high than the impacts of covid #god I'm pissed off. 2021 i was so fucking terrified of spreading this shit just by talking about my lived experiences. #to say i was not taking the pandemic seriously OR anti vax is so blatantly ridiculous considering who I am as a person but that doesn't mea #that the covid vaccine specifically didn't make me ill :////// #delete

I cannot say this with 100% certainty because I have read a very large quantity of fic, but I believe I have only read one where a (main) character got an STI, and it was syphilis in the modern era, so it was embarrassing, but treatable. And I'm not saying that this is a thing that, like, should be in fics all the time, I just had the realization and now I'm sitting with it.

#fanfiction #and I get why #I do #but I think everyone has heard about the rates of HSV #and that awkward article about retirement homes #and again not saying you should give your blorbo chlamydia #but I've read a hell of a lot of 'oh no I need to go get tested' #and I can only think of one where it wasn't 'all clear'

thinking about this god damn quote every time jack gives brick heart eyes which is always

#top 1 articles that tore me asunder #brick saying he feeds off jack's energy...🥺 #and it was from 2009!!!! they'd only worked together for a couple of years at the time!!!!!!!! #I should make one of those long form edits that weave bits of text and pics/gifs jfkhskf gotta beef up the old man yaoi assets out here #2024 resolution is to beef up my tag for: #jack and brick's greatest hits #brick's resolution must be to bump into jack more than ever bc he's really giving it his all these last few games :') #I wish they didn't cover the next few seconds w the promo animation bc jack was literally like 😍😍😍 ajdbjfdk #find you someone who loves you like jack loves brick #who constantly tells you you're so smart and handsome and have a beautiful fucking SOUL

I’m on day 2 of my draw a portrait of Marcia a day with no artistic training or knowledge until I become good at art and specifically good at drawing Marcia challenge and I think it’s going very well so far :) it still doesn’t look like her but I think it’s a marked improvement from yesterdays drawing!

#the eyebrows are too small and the lips are too big but idk how to fix that without fucking everything up #should I read one single article or take one single class explaining how procreate works? yes. will I? probably not #also I still need to clean it up and decide if I want to add the beauty mark or not but it’s almost 3 am and I’m sleepy and have class #imo it gives more Barbie than it does Marcia but is that really a bad thing? well. yes it is when the target subject is Marcia but. whatever #she’s still so cute to me :)))) #once again advice is very welcome #I have no clue what I’m doing #also just so you know every Marcia I draw is Marcia from rawnsyf that’s just how it is #don’t expect me to ever draw an Anetra without red hair if I ever draw her again bc any Anetra will be rawnsyf Anetra #they’re my girls you know :) #drag race #rpdr #rpdr 15 #drag race 15 #marcia #marcia x3 #marcia marcia marcia #my art #drag race fanart #RuPaul’s drag race #RuPaul’s drag race 15 #okay I’m going to sleep now but I need to come up with an idea for tomorrow portrait Marcia post a very cute neutral face forward facing #also if you think I’m going to learn the anatomy of the inside of an ear you have another thing coming #that is for at LEAST day 15 if not later

pains me to see people using canes incorrectly

#esp non-disabled actors playing disabled characters #like at least watch a youtube video #& ​if you’re actually disabled and need to use a cane but you aren’t sure how there’s tons of articles and stuff on how to use it properly #because if you don’t it can hurt you more and not give you the proper support it should

#rebecca traister #marriage #uspol #this article is honestly a bit of a muddle structurally #but i think she touches on some good points #and i also just. appreciate the invitation to give the increase in lobbying for Marriage a good skeptical squint #because honestly i've encountered very little skepticism about the institution even in liberal parts #and i do actually think it's like. seventeen weasels in uneasy harness #like fundamentally the fact that you get a tax break for being married is. what the actual fuck. #similarly i know it's like. considered irresponsible to be down on marriage because it's important for queer ppl to have equal access to it #in the face of a society that has often refused to recognize our relationships‚ and i get that #but like. in an ideal world i think more people ought to explicitly set up medical proxies‚ iron-clad wills‚ etc #rather than the current setup where Marriage is meant to serve as shorthand #for a bizarre assortment of statuses‚ some of which should be more broadly available— #people ought to be able to share their health insurance more broadly! #(i mean for that matter health insurance shouldn't depend on employment‚ for many reasons.) #(but like. it's a whole fucked up chain. you depend on a company affiliation; yr spouse depends on a spousal affiliation) #(and anybody who can't or won't get themself within the pale of a network that will shelter them? is just fucked) #—and some of which shouldn't exist at all. like. i'm sorry. governmental financial incentive to enter into wedlock??? #anyway i don't think i've ever seen any skepticism/alienation wrt marriage on here except from soph #so i can't imagine this tag rant will be a particularly popular opinion #but it's like. marriage IS a conservative institution and societal pressure to engage in it is part and parcel of the machine #that's trying to grind us all back towards christian white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy etc etc etc. #(and yes there are many people of various marginalizations who dig marriage) #(and to whom their own personal marriage is imbued with its own individual meaning) #(and like. a marriage between marginalized people does not cause them to perfectly fit the trad model and receive perfect acceptance) #(like. just look at buttigieg.) #(but like. similarly it's true that the attempt to restrict abortion access is a deeply conservative project) #(even as there are more nuanced conversations it's possible to have about particular axes of reproductive justice) #(was that enough disclaimers?)

From the article:

Ronnie Radke, front man of Falling In Reverse, is no stranger to online drama. However, there may be less of it involving him, at least on X/Twitter.

Earlier today we noticed that his account, @ ronnieradke, just 'doesn't exist' anymore. However, this doesn't mean that X/Twitter or Elon Musk has deleted the account due to violations, Radke himself may have and could very well deleted the account on his own.

Visiting the Falling In Reverse website also revealed that it is down but redirects you to a password url. Also of note, the band's Instagram account is gone. If that happened prior, then our bad, we never check their account out. But all that in tandem with Radke deleting his X/Twitter account may very well lead to some 'big' announcement regarding both Radke and the band.

Radke has always been very vocal online and continuously battles 'trolls' on social media, so maybe he is taking a break from it all. Who knows, but more importantly, who cares?

#I feel no sympathy for the mom who wrote in to that article 💀 #when y’all just don’t talk about race #ur kids that have power in a white supremacist society are very likely to get indoctrinated like that’s just how it works #it’s why I don’t feel bad for white women who’s sons turn out to be misogynistic after never speaking about feminism in the home #u don’t JUST lead by example it is ur duty to teach those are ur KIDS #like obviously sometimes shit happens but most of the time u have a very active role in guiding ur kid into who they’re gonna be #and if you don’t take the time to dismantle these things that are being pushed at ur kid from every outside source #I cannot feel bad when they eventually turn against you #let’s be so fr #this is why I don’t have much sympathy for the whole alt right pipeline convo #at this point in time it is so easy to combat that with consistent conversation and moderation #WHICH IS ANOTHER THING #I get kids should have privacy and all but call me an old head y’all are giving em too much #u are the PARENT u don’t have to watch ur kid 24/7 but there’s no way ur kid is able to make racist jokes #or watch Nazis on yt without ur knowledge #let’s pick up the pace please like damn

can I just. shriek. over the way smoothies are marketed so strongly as for weight loss and how oh no we should not put one (1) gram of sugar in it because we MiGhT gEt FaT because I'm just.

already seeing ppl say the rq callout is suspicious bc rq’s mistakes are probably due to incompetence and not malice... the article Literally Says it was the result of incompetence and not malice, but that rq’s growing pains should not excuse the real harm to their workers and their refusal to take accountability/acknowledge their own struggles at all?? hello... we can maintain our perspective and still criticize rq 😭 nuance please

#like did you read the article or #i don't think anyone at rq is like evil or ill intentioned and i have expected this to happen for a Long time #it's super difficult to weather a popularity surge like theirs without fucking up #but also like?? forgive me for thinking that that doesn't mean fuckups should be completely glossed over?? #i know the author working at a different production company is like. A Thing #but honestly? at least to me! that doesn't feel all that weird. #like yeah someone who is also running podcasts is going to feel personally invested in the direction of their industry #and perhaps write a piece about it #to establish transparency that rq Clearly isn't going to give... to stand up for friends in the industry who got burned... #to prevent rq's business practices from becoming more influential... #idk! i'm perfectly willing to give the benefit of the doubt there. and tbqh i just don't understand the urge to defend rq #i love them! i LOVE tma! but they made mistakes! #nat.txt

i need society to learn what improvised actually means

#an actor coming up with an idea in rehearsal and then the lighting and scene being set up and THEN shot #is not improvising #like IT WAS IMPROVISED THATS SO COOL and theyre talking about a moment with multiple camera angles and plotted movements and many takes #people were so rabid saying that HotD matt smith crown moment was improvised #like the thing they were watching was a moment of true inspiration caught on camera #people will see multiple camera angles and cuts and be like 'ah yes such spontaneity' #the thing brett Goldstein did in that ted lasso ep is also not really improvising #he talked about it off camera and they set up the shot HOW HARD IS THIS TO GRASP #if you cant tell it bugs me #people get like this about DiCaprio cutting his hand and bleeding in that film #as if they didnt call cut give him care and then add fake blood to continue the scene respectfully to his costar #as if it would be cool to get cut and bleed and then wipe your actual blood on your costars face #and not something you should be arrested for lmao #'created spontaneously without preparation' IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA AND THEN BLOCK THE SCENE THATS PREPARATION MMKAYYY #grinds my gears #you can say 'this was improvised in rehearsals and then prepared' but thats NOT what people mean when they say omg this was improvved #you can just tell they saw an article that said this was improvised and now fully believe the scene they watched was the spontaneous moment #id say like actual improvisation is a lot of the stuff in succession because they set so many cameras up and let the actors go for it #anywhom #I'll stop now 🤓
