some problems are so humiliating the only solution is to solve them yourself and then continue to never talk about it
downside of this is you can never tell anyone when you’ve made huge progress or had a huge breakthrough bc you’re either keeping the problem to yourself or you’re pretending the problem is already solved and then rapidly working to make that statement true by the time anyone checks
NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
it should be socially acceptable to roll around on the ground groaning in pain . it wouldnt help get rid of the pain but i would feel a little better about it
thinking about the time they sent me a seven year old autistic patient to investigate if he was suffering abuse because in every psychological test he kept drawing awful monsters
and I start the consultation already miserable as fuck and I give the kid some pen and paper so I can maybe communicate and see what’s on his mind
and then I go WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND I KNOW THOSE MONSTERS
turns out the kid just had a special interest in Five Nights at Freddy’s
I pointed at the monster and went “That’s Freddy!” and I’ve never seen a kid that ecstatic in my life
the mom looked at me as if her son and I belonged at the same satanic cult and that’s why I knew the names of the demons in his head
I wrote back to psychologist like “I’m not sure how to explain this but looking up five nights at freddys might bring you progress with this patient”
at some point the nurses realized the autistic children and I were like, Really Vibing
so they decided to highkey just appoint all of them to my day and it took me almost a month to realize that the fact that I kept arriving and finding that all of today’s appointments were autistic children was Not A Coincidence
anyway this one time there was a kid who was really into christianity but it was like, specifically angels
so I’m trying to start up a conversation with him and I ask what he’s reading and he goes “do you know what a nephilim is”
and like for one hellish second my soul is suckerpunched out of my body and thrown straight into supernatural-fanfic-on-wattpad hell, and then I reassume control of my flesh prison, ignoring the mental edits of Dean and Castiel making out, and go “Aren’t those the guys who are half human and half angel?”
and the kid was so fucking happy but the mom was staring at me like ‘why are you privy to this bit of occult jesus lore’
and my heathen lesbian of a self just looks at her and goes
“i love bible”
It’s almost like taking an invested interest in what your children enjoy will help you understand them.
that addition might be the most savage call out i’ve ever seen
people who write their fics directly onto archive of our own site do not fear death by the way
in all seriousness, please always keep backups of your works, write them somewhere else (google doc is a good choice) then copy and paste onto ao3 when you’re done, because ao3 itself does not automatically save your works for you, meaning you can lose all of your progress
Me 5 seconds after my corpo mandated password change: Hey did you know mandated periodic password changes aren’t considered good cybersecurity practice and in fact actually weaken password security? Just a funny little fact I thought you should know.
“ISO 27001 requires it, so our hands are tied”
It’s actually ISO 27002 that had these guidelines and they removed them in 2022

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!
i feel so bad for this fish because imagine being it and you just exist in the ocean and some weird terrestrial creature decides to give you a name that makes it sound like you committed medical malpractice
the US education system isn’t even that bad. many countries have objectively worse-funded education systems, but don’t display the same belligerent idiocy as them. the fundamental issue is that USAmericans have no real reason to care about the rest of the world, as it will never meaningfully affect their lives unless they decide to go on vacation or take part in an invasion. their lack of intellectual curiosity is because the rest of the world never really registers as a real place.
love the notes on this. ‘oh actually our education system is really underfunded’ that’s very unique of you. no other country is like that. i know people who are not legally allowed to attend higher education because of their gender who demonstrate more intellectual curiosity about the world than you. 'actually we’re all struggling and just trying to survive so theres no time to care about the world’ no you’re right the USA is the poorest country on earth after all. would sort of break the argument if people from much more impoverished countries showed significantly more interest in learning about the outside world than usamericans do. almost like people everywhere suffer from lack of access to education but the imperial core uniquely generates people who have no material reason to care, specifically because of their privilege even in poverty. 'um actually most of us can’t afford a vacation overseas’ so, again, since you’re not going to be invaded, and your government isn’t at the international financial gunpoint of a foreign empire, you will literally never be affected by other countries.
you tell a usamerican that the people they bomb, invade, coup, and sanction have it worse than they do and they start sobbing and crying about how they’re actually the least privileged people on the planet, because they don’t have [social welfare that western europe has] because, again, they don’t see the rest of the world, outside the west, as a real place.
addendum for all the yanks suffering from brain fungus in my notes: no, your education system is not uniquely propagandistic, either. every capitalist country has its education warped to support the ideology of its ruling class. similarly, and, even more insane of a claim to make, the US’s unique lack of intellectual curiosity is not due to inadequate mental healthcare. the idea that the rest of the world are all just getting amazing therapy is absurd, 42% of Palestinian children suffer from moderate or acute PTSD.
both of these claims reinforce what I already said, that usamericans literally do not see the rest of the world as being real, and self-victimise because they compare themselves exclusively with other western, imperial core countries like the EU. the only way these claims make sense is if they see 'the rest of the world’ as Germany and Sweden, and see the entire global south as a vague rhetorical construct that can be disregarded (through casual, joking reference to the incredible levels of imperial oppression of the African continent).
having not actually read the post at all, and instead jumped into defensively yelling about 'oppression olympics’, this likely won’t reach any of them, but still.
