My insides hurt today. As a result I can't think of anything else to say right now to elicit donations.
But if I don't post at all they definitely won't come.
Anything helps. 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳⚧♿💜
I feel like that's a little TOO not caring?
I find myself often wanting a shorthand for "no is an ok answer" when messaging my friends, as a way of creating safety within our ask culture rather than guess culture. I wish I had like an emoji or like a unicode symbol for shorthand for it. Any suggestions?
tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

if people want shorter games with worse graphics made with less work many exist but not enough people buy them for developers to be paid more (or even recoup costs)
similar to "there should be more variety in games" there's so much! gotta look for it! won't have CoD marketing budget

My current thought is doing a version of the Blades engagement roll for travel?
I'm running dungeonpunk so I can kind of use whatever works but currently it's Perilous Wilds and I keep running out of time with discoveries and dangers and never getting to do the actual locations.
I feel like I usually only get three hours of play in sessions at the moment and so if we do travel there's no time for the actual location, but also eliding travel and the chance of getting lost or waylaid loses the sense of mystery and threat of the world and wilderness.
Ok so for something like a westmarches format game, how many hours of play are folks usually taking for a session that involves setting out from town, travel to the location, adventuring at the location, and then heading back to town?
"The withdrawals reflect GPs’ worries about the risks of taking on specialist care"
sick of this excuse - are you physicians who chose a broad specialty or not?
it isn't just adhd, we hear constantly about GPs who won't manage hormones and mine now claims to be unable to manage blood pressure meds
Or, hell, are other people's perceptions warping that much normally because that's how predictive processing in the brain and consciousness works but I just happen to notice it because of the dissociative skepticism I have of my own perceptual experience?
Are there words I should use or do I just keep saying "dysmorphia" as shorthand and clarifying as it comes up?
And that resistance is a huge privilege but the situation does leave me without good language to talk about the experience I have and the weight of it and the ways it fucks me up when the resistance DOESN'T work and I can't look in mirrors or at photos of myself.
"I think I look fucked up and ugly but we believe all bodies are valid and worthy of love. Plus it would be disrespectful of those I love if I were to believe them to be liars or delusional, especially as a collective, when they tell me that to them I am beautiful."
which I don't experience thanks to a combination of millennial body positivity, radical trans/queer politics, and a healthy dose of self skepticism, choosing instead to believe people I trust who tell me I don't look or sound however my brain is self perceive that day
Previously I've used the term "dysmorphia" to describe it but it's occurred to me that that is mostly about the preoccupdation and obsessive components,
Obviously it's influenced by my experience and history of dysphoria, and it's definitely gotten worse living in Stockholm, presumably because of the higher oppressive beauty standards.
