vince and laurinaitis being monsters and rapists isn't news to anyone but when you get the details to it and you realize just how many people must have also been part of it or at the very least known about it and turned a blind eye, it's just. so depressing and horrifying to think about. we always talk about how this business is fucked and very few people in it are clean but it's still so fucking shocking when you get concrete evidence of just how deeply vile the culture in this business still is

i think i will actually digitize this map properly if only to see if i’m missing anything but in the meantime. moment of appreciation for the donald drake fenton dynamic. obsessed with drake and fenton knowing completely different legs of the triangle (donald -> paperinik and paperinik -> DD respectively) and particularly how fenton has rationalized the retired superhero -> spy pipeline . VERY excited to see where it goes
OH ALSO THE TIME TRAVEL MENTION. both go WHAT. and then we just move on. incredible

never messaging a supervisor again except out of necessity 😶 my PI (lab supervisor) is out of town but usually likes to be updated about important experiments so i texted him the result of something and he replied “Ohhhh so fun!!!” . im mystified by this and simultaneously mortified by the fact of how much he did not care about my message 😭😭

Rambling to your friend who has NO context whatsoever and knowing nothing you just sent them makes sense but you're too jittery to care and you just NEED TO LET IT OUT meanwhile the friend in question is just trying to buy bread I'm sorry I just. I just. I can't. Do anything. This shit is PLAGUING MY MIND!!! And if I try to ramble at Bo again I'd be infringing on my "oh shit, right, this is just pure speculation but could still count as spoilers and that's something I've been very careful to avoid with you". So AAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Tbh anyone who’s surprised tumblr is rolling out a bad feature no one wants must be new here lmao. Just cause they hit on a few good ones in a row (blaze, crabs, checkmarks) doesn’t mean staff got any less incompetent than they always have been. Anyone remember the chat feature being rolled out as a weird virus? That replies were here, then removed for several years, then re-instated? Fan mail being accessible for a long time after technically being removed? Post+ still exists? This isn’t new. It’s been like this since 2013 and there may be new owners now, but that doesn’t mean staff has changed
Best thing you can do is ignore it, turn it off, and never ever use it to help them arrive at the decision that a resource-heavy feature no one uses isn’t worth keeping around sooner rather than later

having been in therapy for over a year, been through an entire autism and ADHD diagnosis, i've somehow managed to renegotiate a lot of the relationships in my life around the boundaries that i've only recently realised I am allowed to have. i've managed to do this without cutting anyone off but i've had to lay down a pretty significant boundary with a friend today and im terrified that it'll be the end of our friendship.
ive been putting up with being ignored and having to chase her up constantly cause she's having a difficult time at the moment, have been much more patient than a lot of people would be, have been making excuses for this friend to my fiancé and parents because i wanted to avoid upsetting her and wanted to be kind and empathetic because i'm a people pleaser and it's something im having to force my way out of
it's the first time ive had to say something to someone that could end up ending a relationship/friendship and even though i know it's the right thing to do in the long run (i've cried, ive had meltdowns, ive had migraines while trying my best to not upset this person and be there for her with no reciprocation for 6 months) i'm just so scared.
anyway, all that to say that ive booked a therapy session (my therapist literally messages when i go too long without booking a session to be like... Liv... we both know what happens when you don't speak to me) and have booked tickets to go see the Heathers UK tour to help make me feel better!
(the matinee, directly before a night shift but boo that's for future Liv to worry about)
