I watched When Harry Met Sally yesterday so now I'm curious how everyone's parents met. Any and all stories are welcome!

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Babs and Cass, Behind the Scenes of Success 

Redraw 2 years later 

Top: April, 2023

One of the hardest parts of being a sister is having the courage to step into the spotlight when it is your turn, the self-confidence to step out when it is not, and the strength to be happy without jealousy.

Vox Machina Plays Mario Kart 

Vex’ahlia is obviously winning. Keyleth is better at this game than she gives herself credit for and isn’t doing half bad. Grog is being a little too aggressive with the turns and keeps crashing into things; and yet somehow, he’s still a place ahead of Scanlan. The game is clearly rigged! 

Vox Machina House Rules: 1). No loud music before 9 AM 2). Butter knives are NOT weapons 3). PLEASE try the doorknob first 4). Whoever breaks the door down, pays for it.

If I were to tag myself in this image, I’d be Percival-”I refuse to be humiliated over this”- De Rolo. Let’s just say I know where my talents lie, and Mario Kart is decidedly not one of them.

Finally starting on the cold lighting! This painting is a study of this tiktok

Id: A photo of a white desk in front of a window, completely taken up by a table easel with a large painting on it. The painting depicts a person almost completely swathed in white fabric. In their hand is a burning candle, and around their head is a loosely tied “crown” of six candles. Only the flames in the crown and part of the fabric around them is unfinished. /End id.

I love toxic romance as much as the next bitch but tbh it can't hold a candle to toxic sibling relationships where there's rage, yes, and maybe even hate, but love too, and you can't escape it and you can't embrace it so what's left? No one will ever know you like they know you, and no one will ever be able to hurt you like they can. This hole in your side and you can either stand by them even though what they've become turns your stomach or you can try to leave them behind but it doesn't matter how far you run because they'll always be your sibling. They'll always have a piece of you. You were born knowing them.

Just a heads up for anyone with a DeviantArt, they have now made everyone automatically "opted in" for their art to be used for AI art. You have to go into the settings of every piece you've ever posted and opt out for each individual piece if you don't want your art to be used as "inspiration for" AI art. Additionally, users can now create AI art by inputting random DeviantArt users' usernames as prompts. Today might be a good day to opt out (or delete your account entirely, as I did).

As a museum studies major I am begging you all to read AAM museum ethics guidelines and collection protocol. Equating all museums to these shadow organizations that only exist to appropriate cultural objects erases all of the public service work they do, and the work that gets up in to preserving and presenting history in an accessible way to all age and mental demographics.

Im begging you all please read AAM.

a lot of ppl in the notes of the previous post are mentioning museums hoarding stolen cultural objects which is important beyond measure but museums shutting down due to lack of funding will not result in repatriation of cultural materials, they would most likely be auctioned off to private ultra-wealthy collectors to recoup some of their debt and we’d never find these objects again let alone be able to repatriate them. i understand the desire to say ‘fuck museums let them die’ for this reason but it won’t have the result you think it will, and it will also mean that all of their ethically sourced and donated materials (which for most museums are the vast majority of their collections) will no longer be cared for by experts but again, sold off to private collectors who can do whatever they want with them or deteriorate in storehouses indefinitely. this would be catastrophic for public history and collective knowledge-sharing across the globe across cultures, and museums in post-colonial and run by/for racialized or otherwise oppressed ethnic groups will fall first because they receive FAR less funding than the large western institutions. just repeating phrases and sentiments you’ve seen online as a form of performative activism without knowing anything about what you’re talking about does more harm than good and doesn’t make you look smart or clever just foolish it’s so deeply annoying and frustrating
