art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

Never Before Seen’ Yellow Penguin Belgian photographer Yves Adams on a two month photo exhibition in the South Atlantic captured on camera the world’s first yellow penguin. It was captured in December 2019 when the group made a stop on an island in South Georgia to photograph a colony of over 120,000 king penguins.

disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

look I'm a disability studies scholar so I know why people are like this. but. people really do get so pressed about the dumbest shit. why do you care if someone has multiple people in their head? why do you care if someone is existing with a mobility aid in your line of sight? why do you care if someone takes a couple extra seconds to formulate a sentence? even if you don't believe that someone is legitimately disabled (which is bad on its own. but still). what do you lose by just taking people at face value? and what do you gain by living life as an angry little ass all the time?

Jesse pinkman is trans elaborated on in a series of headcanons:

-He figured out he was when he was in early high school specifically, this is also where he started burning out and dropping in grades after he came out about it

-This is also what first got him into drugs, though it was just weed and alcohol at first to get a breather from being a pre-T trans guy in the early 2000’s, eventually it started to spiral into harder stuff through has he slipped further and further

-his parents weren’t overtly abusive, but they took his transition pretty shittily, they’d regularly try to tell him to “snap out of it” and would try to live in denial that he was even trans to begin with for the longest time only to try and ignore him when he wouldn’t “grow out of this silly tomboy phase”

-he got surgery from his drug money which is also why he was able to get keyhole too

-same goes for his hrt but before he could afford it, he got it early from some of his buddies he’d smoke with having extra on them

-he’s get into pretty intense arguments with his mom especially too in his high school years, as she wanted to help in her own(misguided) way but would only push him further and further away unintentionally

-he had the Trans Guy pixie cut as his first short hair but saw he didn’t pass so he got into the habit of just shaving it when it would get too long and letting it grow back out (also why it’s always so spiky and short)

-his deadname was the same at his current name just spelled “Jessie” , he used to think about getting a completely different name/legal name change but never really got around to it (until El Camino )

-he’s post-op when you first see him in Breaking Bad but he wears all his layers as a force of habit

-we all know this by know but his closer friends all knew he was trans (badger and skinny Pete kiss each other when the camera is turned I can’t prove it but I swear) but didn’t know him pre-transition as he cut off most people he knew then

-he’d run away to his aunts sometimes after getting into fights with his mom, his aunt was much more progressive and more of a hippie in her younger years, so she’d support him and they’d grow closer to each other, with him eventually living fully at her house by graduation, until the cancer took her as we see in the show

-when he was kidnapped Todd would occasionally offer to let him shower but he’d refuse because he didn’t want to out himself to them, he’d also hate anyone getting close to him or touching him because of it (also because Todd is evil but it’s another reason)

huuuuge fan of little phrases you can add to the end of your sentences just for fun. "if you even care" and "btw" and "I fear" have done sooo much for my vocabulary. if you even care

*looks at books* too tired for you *looks at films* too tired for you *looks at art supplies* too tired for you *eyes fall on tumblr* oho ho

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

More proof that capitalism was never "freedom" or "small government".

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

and the lord sayest unto me, "lock the fuck in"

"Why is it a problem if students use AI to get through college"

Because if you demonstrate to me that you're willing to set aside concern for truth, evidence, and verifying things with your own eyes whenever it happens to be inconvenient for you, I have a solemn responsibility to make sure you don't get into medical school.

aside from any ethical or political discussion, the use of generative AI in amateur projects really sucks to me. I think video games where you can tell all the voice acting was done by one of the developers buddies is great. I love when indie album art was painted by someone who doesn't really know how to paint. I really believe that there's a lot of value in amateur projects where it's clear the people making it didn't have a lot of resources.

If you use AI in projects then it'll be distracting, and if you do everything yourself you'll fall short, and it'll still be distracting, but instead of being frustrating or just plain cheap it'll be endearing.

that's not to mention that using generative AI usually garners a lot of ill will, especially in indie spaces.
