I dunno who may need to hear this right now, but if you're like me, and for a long time have been struggling with near-constant anxiety: You're more competent than you think. If someone tells you to do something, and you panic and mess up, it's not because you're incompetent or stupid. It's your state of anxiety and being in constant fight-or-flight mode that is messing with your ability to respond properly. You're not a horrible person for it, and you should not be yelled at because of it. If you can't get out of the situation that is causing you that level of anxiety, try to find safe and healthy methods to calm yourself. I've found that breathing exercises help me out a lot.
I'm praying for peace, and the easing of your anxiety for all of you. <3

"Havelock, I appreciate that Drumknott is very competent, but he always seems to me to be a rather strange little man."
"Well, it would be a funny old world if we were all alike, madam, although I admit not very funny if we were all like Drumknott. But he is loyal and excessively trustworthy," said Vetinari.
"Hmm," said her ladyship. "Does he have much of a personal life?"
"I believe that he collects different types of stationary," said Vetinari. "I have sometimes speculated that he might change his life for the better should he meet a young lady willing to dress up as a manila envelope."
Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

Same-sex pairs in many species (especially birds) raise young together. Not only are they competent parents, homosexual pairs sometimes actually exceed heterosexual ones in the number of eggs they lay, the size of their nests, or the skill and extent of their parenting.

I just saw a SM gif set that was like
T hanos
levels of incompetent but it had over 400 notes, so I think I realized nobody actually cares about the quality of the gifs. They'll just reblog them if they have obnoxious pink color filters on them. My gifs will now always have a gross sickly pink color over them and only be from 90's nostalgia anime that zoomers haven't actually seen but think are aesthetic enough to reblog.

Rant about better call saul below since I'm rewatching it
I love seeing a female character (Kim) who is just as competent as the male characters, does things on her own terms, is allowed to be goofy and have a say in her own life, and she dictates it. Also her relationship to Saul is a really positive and accurate one. They fight, they spend time together being goofballs, she makes him worse. The finale is starting to scare me.
I see people complaining that they are bad people, and its like, did you watch breaking bad? They're both morally bankrupt, but this show is about how they got there. What drove them to it. The shitty people who ruined their lives and made them miserable are far more responsible than either of them, considering they were trying to get their fucking lives together. This show is about WHY they broke bad, its kind of a big deal. Seeing Jimmy's brother tell him he had spent his entire life trying to keep him from being successful? Ripped my heart out of my chest. Or Kim telling Howard that she can't fix the guilt he feels because chucks suicide was his fault? AAAAAAA
What I'm saying is, I gotta lot of feelings about these two idiots. So I'm chilling. Also lalo is HOT.

The Head of the House of Slytherin
Status: Complete
Wordcount: 59k
Rating: Gen
What if the adults in Harry Potter books were competent and Snape was a snarky yet dedicated head of house?
This story is a wonderful example of well-executed what-if trope where one change in characterization (adults acting as adults) results in ripple effect without skipping major canon event like book two basilisk attacks. The author masterfully patches the known potholes enriching the worldbuilding and making for pleasant and entertaining read for an adult, critical reader. We get a believable explanation for delay in preparing mandrake restorative draught, the insurmountable workload of Hogwarts teachers is addressed or we see how the staff deals with Lockhart's incompetence instead of waiting for the DADA course to kick in.
The portrayal of Snape is spot it - he can be snarky and heavy-handed with sarcasm and irony but he is not a bully. Slytherin students respect him as mentor, even the hot-headed Gryffiondors take his words into advisement. Severus is by no means cuddly, but his is also very far from becoming the students' greatest fear as in the canon.
I particularly enjoyed the addition of letters drawing form the best examples of epistolary novels. Without too much telling we see the staff and Severus handling some of the canonical events and most of them are as skilled with words as with their wands. The latest chapters are a bit long-winged, they introduce a lot of new and unique worldbuilding elements, but I think there is room to improve the flow and conciseness.
I've always believed the HP universe has a potential for inspiring an adult-oriented story and this fic is a perfect example of it.
9/10

Toddler - Transferring with Tongs
This work requires hand-eye coordination and fine motor control. By using tongs, the student is refining their pincer grasp in preparation for using a pencil. It also introduces one-to-one correspondence since there is one object for each compartment, which is an introduction to quantifying numbers.
