#i appreciate you all so much!

[jellymish-art]

My ancient Castiel painting has been making the rounds again and you guys, you've made my feels all mushy and pink over this multiple times over the past month. Thanks for all the love!!

And not just you, also everyone else who's been liking and reblogging other artworks of mine, every single one of you is a star.

Even after years on here, there's a special kind of excitement that comes with seeing new notes on those (sometimes very old) arts!

#castiel #spn #thank you so much #you've all made me smile so much #tumblr artists #idk what else to tag this as #fanart #I appreciate you all so much!

Going to Stream on YT Tonight!

I'll be streaming Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart at 8pm CST today. I have been a fan of this series since I was 12 and played the first game in the series.

I have avoided spoilers for the entire time it has been out, over 2 years. I am about 2 hours into the game so far and the last time I streamed it I had so much fun. I can't wait to continue this tonight.

If anyone wants to come lurk or hang out in chat, I would love to have people come hang out!

Somehow, I hit 450 followers o//o

//HIDES// I am absolutely honored and I dunno what to say but thank you! I am truly humbled to be one small part of this amazing community. When I started this blog, I never knew it would grow to what it was today and I really think it's cause of this amazing community on tumblr that I continue to feel inspired and confident to post my writings and my screenshots. So thank you, truly! I have met so many wonderful people on here and I always love seeing/reading about everyone's characters in the ffxiv community! I may tend to take long breaks sometimes as life in the theatre world gets chaotic but it's always so refreshing to come back with a warm welcome every time <3 I really want to do a giveaway of sorts but for now, it's on the back burner till I get my financial situation in a more comfy place so please look forward to it and I'll definitely announce it again when I do! Till then, I'll be here yelling into the void as I always do about G'raha and Ardbert (and also admiring all your wols! <3) Nico out and back to hide cause WOW THAT'S A LOT AND I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS EVER o///o <33

#ooc #mun thoughts ahead #I was like shocked pikachu face #when I saw my follower count #like HI? <3 #I appreciate you all so much! #And I can only hope that you all will continue to enjoy my content <3

Just so everyone knows, I will be re-opening commissions to the public sometime in mid/late October :) still recharging a little from my last few batches, and wanna make sure I’m all caught up with my kofi rewards! I’m gonna start taking first the people on my waiting list currently, THEN I’ll re-open to the public when October rolls around! So not currently taking any NEW comms but if you’re on my list and have been waiting I’ll be getting to you soon :) I wanna make sure everyone who has already been waiting awhile gets attention first! Thank you all so much for your patience!

The dude and I finally got some of our old furniture moved out of the storage. But my dad's truck decided to be a little bitch. So, I guess we'll be waiting for it to be fixed before we moved anymore. But we gave the stuff to a good cause locally that helps the unhoused here in town, rather than taking it out of town, so that's good!“ψ(｀∇´)ψ

It's hard to see your mistakes when you're making them. It's only when you look again that you see them. Sadly, now I have to rip all my stitches out and redo them. Also it might help if my glasses were cleaned. Good times.( •̀ω•́ )σ

The whole moving debacle is gearing up. I'm not a fan.Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

Finally a sunny day. But it's cold AF.(。-ω-)ﾉ

How do you fill a Grand Canyon of negativity with just a trickle of positivity?（’-’*)

How is January the longest year ever? (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF??? #like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much

Whenever I talk about the medical neglect and ableism I've encountered as a victim of the healthcare system, there's always some cockwaffle who feels entitled to come into my inbox and make the argument of "not all doctors" while talking about how "people like them" (because it's always someone in a field of medicine who does this) are doing their best and it's really hard because so many people fake being ill to get on welfare (Yikes), but like, yeah, obviously #not all doctors, because if all doctors were negligent, bullying scum bags, I'd be dead.

But here's the thing: while I truly believe that the majority of doctors are doing their best in a system stacked against them and their patients, their presence does not negate the mass harm caused by the bad ones. And there are far more bad ones than you realize.

Fuck, John Oliver literally did a segment on this last week:

Yes, the truly bad, malicious doctors are in the minority. Most are just horrifically burned out and fighting a losing battle against a system, killing both them and their patients through a lack of funding and resources and profound overwork.

But the malicious ones do exist, and they will go out of their way to harm patients who don't kowtow to them.

I almost lost my life because when I was in my early twenties, I told a doctor I didn't think she was listening to me, and I disagreed with her assessment of my mental health (she was not a mental health doctor, and I was there for heart palpitations and chronic pain). She retaliated by putting "non-compliant" in my file.

There was also a fun little "doesn't show respect" note too that lives rent-free in my head because I know I wasn't rude. I was polite. I just didn't agree with her, and my refusal to accept her off-handed comment that "you probably have bipolar or BPD" (again, I was there for heart palpitations and chronic pain) meant I was "refusing care."

I wasn't. I just refused to be slapped with a mood/personality disorder when I was there because I kept fucking fainting when I stood up.

(Spoiler alert: it was dysautonomia)

That "non-compliant" marker followed me around for years. It followed me across an ocean and effectively ensured that any doctor I saw was going to treat me like absolute dogshit because no one wants to help Difficult Patients. It wasn't until I was so undeniably ill, literally on the brink of death, that anyone helped me.

I'm alive because of a good doctor. And all the good ones that came after him because of him.

So, I know they exist. You don't have to tell me that.

But I really fucking need you to acknowledge the bad ones and that you're part of a system with a long, long history of abusing minorities and vulnerable people. I need you to acknowledge that because it's the only way we're going to survive this godforsaken nightmare and make things better.

So yeah, #notalldoctors, but if you feel the need to say that because someone talking about being literally left to die by the medical system hurts your feelings, I'm going to have to ask you to take a step back and ask yourself if you're going into medicine for the right reasons.

Namely: do you want to help people, even the "difficult" ones?

Even the ones who might disagree with you?

Even if they're on welfare?

Even if they'll never get "better" in a way that means "cured"?

Just a thought. But hey, what do I know. I'm just someone who experienced hemolytic anemia because doctors kept telling me I was anxious and needed to exercise more 🤷‍♀️.

#chronic health tag #medical abuse #medical neglect #medical #ableism #to all the good health care workers who follow me and leave supportive comments: I appreciate you so much #but you need to come get your fellow drs #and idk #give 'em a shake or something #Youtube

So much to do, so little time.Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

I might have two more cats tomorrow. (=^-ω-^=)

Idk why my body has decided to give me so much pain today, but I am straight (bisexual) up not have a good time.(*｀へ´*)

The musician they got for the Farmer's Market today is making my ears bleed. It was nice when a doggo came by and barked through one song.（’-’*)

I'm always sad when I see the mission boys (LDS/Mormons).p(´⌒｀｡q)

When are we going to start giving old people more frequent driving tests? Because OMG some of them are scary. (ὀ⌓ὀ⑅)
