Most of you might not know this, but Alvin 2.0 did go through a really really low point where he was basically “stereotypical nerd” on the outside and still Alvin (but not really feeling like Alvin) on the inside. This happens in story number 5 of the 2.0 origin fic.
Jeanette then gets to teach him that he’s more than just a handsome face, nice hair, and a bunch of random talents.
(His appearance is changing a lot because his cartoon code is LITERALLY glitching. he’s gone and gotten himself interested in nerdy things and it is a universe that runs on stereotypes. The Alvinnn program has no idea what to do with an Alvin that doesn’t conform to usual Alvin standards. That’s why it keeps giving him random traits associated with other nerds on the show like Simon, Kevin, Cheesy,….ect. And why it gives him stereotypical nerd things like braces and a skin rash that shows through his fur)
Eventually, Alvin starts to gain his confidence and ego back even WITH the altered appearance and then the universe rewards him for his lessons learned by allowing him to look somewhat like his old self again, but never completely back to the way he was. )
(He could have just had reading glasses and that’s it, but he winds up in them full time due to his love of physics being revealed to everyone causing the glitch.)
Also Alvin’s wearing Jeanette’s shirt in this picture and leggings because it comforts him in this time of crisis. (And he forgot to do his own laundry)
That Flash T shirt was a gag gift from Eleanor to Britt (because Britt took 3 entire weeks to clean the kitchen lol) and Britt hates it so Jeanette gave it to him
Oh and he’s capless because his hair is coming in DARK BROWN like Simon’s and he hates it and he’s hoping the sun will lighten it. Which is does later on….but it turns red-orange instead of copper or auburn. (He cannot win.)
Anyway…here they are!

EMERGENCY ARTIST SUPPORT
Happy pride ya’ll! 
I’d like to help support and advertise for my best friend who is dealing with living homeless after moving out with his cats, Scorpius and Spirit, from a state that supported hate towards trans and lgbtq+ and just went through transitioning. He does some really awesome artwork and if you guys like what he makes, go ahead and purchase some of his work off my Redbubble page. @inkfilledsyringe attempted to make his own page but it kept 404ing on his uploads, so in order to help, everything on my page will go to help funding him until he gets settled with a new job and housing. 
Here’s some art I was allowed to upload to my shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/146311440 https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/146311948?ref=studio-promote https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/146312211?ref=studio-promote

If you just want to support and don’t want to buy art (Idk why but ok) you can go give @inkfilledsyringe a follow and if you’d also like to just donate, this is his kofi account: ko-fi.com/inkfilledsyringe
If ya’ll can too, share this around for more support. It would make me happy but most importantly it will make @inkfilledsyringe​ even happier and maybe he’ll get to eat something better than peanut butter and ramen. Also heres Spirit:

And Scorpius:

Day 15; A Good Morning Ruined
Fadnom; transformers Characters: Crosshairs, Drift, Jamie (OC) Rating: T Description; The fun is ruined a few hours later. Drift struggles with this medical issue, haunted by his nightmare.
Angstober; full circle Whumpober; flare AI-lesstober; (skipped) OC-tober; (repeat) with their partner, crush, or best friend Flufftober; "I hate it" - "No, you don't" Continued from day 14
As Crosshairs thought, the happiness wouldn't last long. The two mechs are used to this, but it's always challenging to watch, not after what they call the nightmare situation. Not even Ratchet or Optimus — who have watched Jamie go through this many times — can convince the two that what they saw is rare. With Drift caring for Jamie, Crosshairs gets something nice for his stressed friend.
He hates that on his way out, Cade, Cogman, and Vivian know something is up. He hates how they'd have to know, but the fact he can't leave the house without them knowing something is up is troubling. Crosshairs tells them to leave Drift alone for now before leaving.
Even though it's just breakfast, Crosshairs knows Drift will like what he got. Crosshairs sees Drift sitting on the bed, staring out the window. "I got one of your favorites for breakfast," Crosshairs tells him. Drift looks at what Crosshairs got for him and what Crosshairs got himself. "I hate it," Drift says. "No, you don't." Drift stares at Crosshairs in disbelief. He takes a few seconds to realize that Crosshairs is talking about what he got. "I'm sorry, I—." "I know, watching her go through this is never easy. Even if it's minor. Not after what we went through seven years ago." "I know she can't get worse with this level, but still, she's in a coma for a week. The more fragged up part is I wonder if she's getting a break from nightmares." He's terrified. Crosshairs observes, making his usual worried mind when Jamie goes through a flare-up look like nothing. Crosshairs hates it when both of his friends go through what he calls the full circle. Doing fine mentally — even Jamie with her anxiety and depression — to failing apart and struggling. Now, both his friends are struggling. Crosshairs believes he needs to get Drift to tell him what happened in his nightmare that terrified him last night, but first, the two eat their breakfast. Both try not to stare at the monitor on Jamie's nightstand. Relieved Ratchet doesn't make them bring Jamie to the medbay, but it's not all good when the reason is their medical training. Not enough to fill in for Ratchet or help any seriously wounded Autobots or shoulders, but enough for basic first aid and to care for Jamie's medical condition.
After the two eat, Crosshairs tries to get Drift to tell him about his nightmare. Crosshairs knows Drift likely dreamt about Jamie being dead, but wasn't for what Drift described. Explains why he's having a harder time with Jamie dealing with a flare-up. Crosshairs thinks. Not is a good time for this to happen. While they were told to stay away from the room for now, Cade and Vivian heard what Drift said. The two don't think they'll be much help, but they want to try to help both their friends. Vivian has only been told what Cade, Crosshairs, and Drift dealt with seven years ago. She doesn't believe another situation they all went through is close to what the three call the nightmare situation. The four try to help each other, but thinking positively with every challenge they face is hard. Even though they know Jamie won't decline while dealing with the flare-up. Crosshairs hopes his friends make a full circle and are as happy as they were four months ago.

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.
A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."
And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.
All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.

No, it's not. I just... it's hard to explain. It's like... I'm constantly distracting myself or ignoring my feelings, and today is just one of those days where I can't. I just feel useless, I just can't shake the thought that there's something wrong with me, that I'm inferior.
Aww dear, you are not inferior! Don't say such bad things about yourself :< cause you are not! I know there are times where you might feel useless and stuff like that, but that doesn't mean it's true! Replace those negative thoughts about yourself with stuff positive! Tell yourself something like "I can do it" or "I can try again even if I fail for the first time" or "there are people out there who love me and appreciate me" like us! We love you okay?? So believe in yourself buddy <33 💗💗💗💗💗

While the world is comfortably tucked beneath the sheets, you are out there running endless miles to sculpt yourself; While the world was complaining, you were busy getting things done; While the world is bickering about how meaningless things are, you are out the risking your life, willing to take a bullet, so the world can enjoy liberty that it so often take for granted; While the world is…

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".
Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"
And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".
Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.
At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.
So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!
Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!
Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!
Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.
#hlep#original#mental health#my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need.#the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it#i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support#and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist.#the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28!#a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents.#they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of#huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the#longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong.#and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives.#you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead?#or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of.#no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow.#i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel#i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong.#just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop

Listening back to Simon’s playlist which I thought had no theme….he actually DOES have a theme.
His theme is always being there to teach and support his friends and family.
While also learning he can be more than the science guy.
Also the way the songs switch from melancholy to more positive to humorous is so Simon.

the thing about "callout/cancel culture" that convinced me it's rotten to the core is the dehumanisation you face once you become the subject of a campaign like that. a lot of criticisms of callout/cancellation attempts appeal to the humanity of the subject, pointing out that it's unfair and unproductive to treat a person, a fellow human being, regardless of how much harm they've caused and how genuinely unlikable they are, like that. but unfortunately the reality of being the target of a mob mentality often means facing the very isolating and traumatising experience of realising that you've ceased to exist as a person in their eyes. you're a representation of your transgressions, an embodiment of harm that needs to be erased like a blemish, a spectacle for entertainment, a means of earning social approval by publicly condemning and humiliating you in what quickly becomes a competition to see who can strike the blow that knocks you down so you never get up again. nobody cares about who you are outside of what you did. people make mistakes and hurt one another, but there is always the capacity for change, for regret and reparations. you are an irredeemable monster. you can't change. the only way to make sure you can't cause harm ever again is to neutralise you entirely. to drive you off and hurt you so badly that you never consider coming back. and it often succeeds. but it doesn't make the world a better or safer place. it just tells everyone that certain behaviours will be punished, so you should conceal them, and harshly condemn them in others so that everyone knows where you stand; nobody will stand up for you if you're accused and brought out for judgement, so you shouldn't trust anyone, and always be on the lookout to take them down before they can do the same to you. you're not creating a safe, welcoming community. you're creating a panopticon built on fear and punishment.
