“your partner isn’t responsible for your wellbeing”

“go tell this to a therapist”

“omg stop traumadumping” (after hearing a mild complaint)

can you guys hear yourselves? we are human beings. part of being in relationships (including friendships) with each other means looking after each other. we are responsible for each other. I look after your emotional needs when you need it, and you look after mine. sometimes things will be difficult and sometimes they’ll be outside my paygrade, and I’m allowed to step back from that. but you have to stop acting like it’s some massive toxic imposition on you to have to listen to someone talk about their feelings

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

THIS is the bear cave painting i was talking about, the line weight, the proportions, the fine details around the face, and the fact that this all had to be drawn from memory, idk man, it’s incredible to me. if i could meet one person from history it’d be the person that painted this bear 30,000 years ago

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

ID: A tweet by Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much"@jongraywb.

“More and more you're going to see US media outlets paint the strikes as something absolutely horrible to everyone else. But what you have to remember is that outlets such as ABC are directly owned by Disney. They aren't reporting news. They're protecting their masters' interests.”

The original tweet is quoting a tweet by ABC7 Eyewitness, which says

“News - Strike by Hollywood actors, writers causing collateral damage to small businesses in SoCal”.

Jonathan H. Gray is: "Thinking Too Much">@jongraywb goes on

“This is the direct result of megacorps buying news outlets and providing you news with slants and bends that are 100% unreliable and based entirely on protecting billionaires and wealthy businessmen who's business it is to prey on the masses for exploitation. 1+1 equals 2. So next time you see the news paint any of the ongoing strikes as bad always ask "Who owns the stations/networks and who benefits?" Considering how many cookie jars Disney has their hands in (ABS, Fox) its a safe bet that you're gonna see this kind of "reporting" escalate wildly. He who controls the money and the power controls the narrative. Strike more, strike harder.”

Below are two vintage or vintage-style black on sepia cartoons, one showing Mickey Mouse picketing with a sign reading “Disney Unfair” and another showing Donald Duck striking pointing to the words “Do Not Patronise Disney Pictures”, with other writing too small to be legible beneath. Both characters look angry.
