Daily Doodles- Day 163- 25/09/24

A microorganism doodle with my multi coloured pen!

I've finally caught back up and I DO NOT want to fall that behind again! I drew, photographed, edited and made this a draft post in work while I was waiting for the clock to hit 8 am.

I'll add tags and send it off when I get home.

The tag for this is #agdoodles

i do think a lot of online disability spaces have adopted anti-effort/anti-progress/anti-recovery stances similar to mental health spaces in the early to mid 2010s and it’s worrying me because we’re STILL trying to undo the harm that was done by that line of thinking when it came to mental health.

i’m not doing the whole “pull yourself up by your bootstraps and try harder!!!” shit that we’ve all heard before but i do think there is a fine line between “allow yourself to rest when you need it” and “if something is difficult to do then just don’t do it because You Deserve To Relax!!!!”

struggling is part of having a disability unfortunately and encouraging people to completely avoid any discomfort that could improve their quality of life in the name of relaxation and “being gentle with ourselves” is going to prove extremely detrimental to peoples lives in the long run

so for my french class we have to read this book about a dying child who is encouraged by a hospital volunteer to write letters to God. and my teacher was talking about how God in the book is not a detached, wish-granting deity of religion, but is rather a friend to the child, someone whom the child could share his feelings with.

and i was like:

my brother in Christ wait till you find out about God in real life

Me at age 13, exhausted at school after staying up all night to read fanfic: I can’t wait until I’m an adult and I can stay up reading without any consequences!

Me, an adult, exhausted at work after staying up all night reading fanfic: Fuck.

How does tumblr feel about Primrose

(edit: some folks are asking if this is taxidermy. This is a real living dog, I promise)

Daily Doodles- Day 169- 01/10/24

A cell doodle! The cells of the immune system are one of my favourite topics and I'm hoping to finally start a project that features them.

The tag for this is #agdoodles

Just to let you know, if you've replied to a post that I've made and the first few words look and sound like fighting words, I stop reading and proceed to pretend like you never posted.

I REFUSE at my big age to fight on the internet. If you disagree with whatever I posted, that's fine, but it's also not my problem.

I used to fight on the internet when I was younger and it made me a mean, nasty and bitter person (only online, thankfully, but that nastiness stayed in my thoughts)

I'm older now, A LOT wiser (experience wise) and have got no time for internet BS! I came here to post art, read fan fics and occasionally post opinions.

Despite the foolishness that happens around here, I still quite enjoy Tumblr and I'm not letting anything ruin that for me!

Guys, I went looking for this YouTuber I used to watch in my uni days. Her name was Alex and her channel is Pretty Pastel Please.

I couldn't remember her channel name, but I remembered her name and the name of her bird, Archie. I typed their names in and I finally found her channel again, but the first video is from another channel talking about HER DEATH??????? EXCUSE ME??????

My goodness! Her family made a post in the community section. They said her death was sudden. Guys, she was just 30!

I don't know what else to say tbh. I hope her family and friends are doing as okay as they can be and her birds.

It's crazy how ppl hate on Rowling, and praise Stephen King for speaking against her, when only one of them has written a child orgy in their books and it wasn't her

id love to get into danny phandom again unfortunately i read too many deeply interesting and emotional fics when i was like 14 and now i cant bring myself to get back into it because nothing is ever going to be that moving again
