pwhl montreal social media manager: just for me, I need you to cross post things on twitter at the same time as instagram. please.

#it bothers me more than it should #perhaps because it is also my field #and i do not believe in 1. customizing content per platform #or 2 staggering posts #maybe it's because it hate instagram #despite the fact that it is the preferred app of like all of pwhl montreal #no comment #here's a fun fact if you've read this far: claire dalton lists professional athlete at pwhl montreal as her linked in position #i only know this because i wanted to see who was running their social media and claire comes up second when you search pwhl montreal lol #mostly because i feel like if pwhl montreal doesn't have a player who tiktoks [i'm out here begging for a maltais equivalent] #i'm going to need the team admin to step up and provide some content pretty please

I know probably no one cares about this but me, but the one thing that bothers me more than anything in Miitopia Switch (besides the horse, I don’t like the horse) is that they DIDN’T FIX THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN BEING NEUTRAL ON A FOOD AND LIKING IT. Whenever a Mii is neutral on a food, the game says they found it delicious. But whenever they like a food, it says they’re content. No! Those should be switched around! They fixed the roving/roaming gourmet issue in this one, why can’t they fix that????

… and so it continues.

The way that Williams Racing has nearly completely lost the lovable underdog reputation they have carefully cultivated over the last few seasons in record time needs to be studied.

#this just makes me more determined to cheer for logan sargeant than ever #how does the team ever expect him to improve if they do not give him any of the tools necessary to do so? #i get that it is a competitive sport and hard decisions have to be made … but don’t sign a driver you clearly can’t be bothered to trust #the fact that logan sargeant continues to be punished for someone else’s mistake in the supposed pinnacle of motorsport is embarrassing #formula 1 and williams racing should be ashamed #i bet that andretti would have had a spare chassis ready to go 🙃 #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #aus gp 2024 #australian gp 2024 #japan gp 2024 #japanese gp 2024 #logan sargeant #ls2 #williams racing #williams f1

There's a weirdly poignant sort of... metaphysical tragedy in the fact that pain, which evolved as a helpful signal to alert us when bad things might be happening to us, grew into becoming... well, basically the Bad Thing. To the point where by universal consensus the very worst thing you can do to a being like us is torture them (i.e. trigger the warning signal as strongly as possible while perhaps deliberately avoiding causing "actual" harm). And there are tons of illnesses and injuries and disabilities that massively impact people's quality of life, ranging from annoying to depressing to driving people to suicide, basically purely because they're very physically painful, while the underlying bodily dysfunction that the pain is supposedly "warning" of is either relatively minor or literally non-existent.

The capacity to feel pain is a good and important thing, some people lack it and that's generally awful for them, only in a universe unrecognizably different from ours could we ever do without it. But isn't it awful to think how if only there was somebody up there to adjust the settings for us, they'd probably only have to tweak them the tiniest bit to keep 99.99% of the benefits while saving us from all the most extreme miseries forever?

The mechanism didn't have to be perfect for natural selection's purposes, it had to be good enough that the average individual in the average situation would be motivated to stay more or less out of trouble. Measured by the metrics nature was working towards, she could afford to be a little slapdash with the exact implementation, and she was. In doing so she opened the door to infinities of evil and suffering that wouldn't otherwise be conceivable. All this only had one chance to happen, and it happened that way. There's nobody to be mad at--I'm mad about it, though.

#I should say for what it's worth #the pains I've had to deal with thus far in life fall into the annoying shading into slightly depressing category #and are intermittent in nature and don't bother me most days #although they have interfered with my ability to have a hobby more than once and make me concerned about other stuff sometimes #there are people I care about who have it much worse #this clarification is only to ensure nobody expends undue sympathy on me #uninteresting

HOW TO PIN YOUR INSECTS:

Position limbs into desired arrangement and pin in place

Maintain eye contact

Pin should pass through the center of the thorax

Move slowly; lest the divine light leak out along with the ichor

Wait for the embers to die.

Wait for the embers to reignite.

I don’t think it makes sense to assume that Jason was mocking Mia’s past. At all. The thing that got jason painted as violent back in the 80s was his anger against rapists…how does that turn into mocking a victim? and that entire story was written by winick. Do we honestly think winick intended to communicate that? The same writer who made Jason’s first kill a man who was trafficking children? Who had Jason pause in his mission of madness to make sure those kids were found by the right people so they wouldn’t be in further danger?

#let’s knock on our skulls and kick our brains back into gear okay? #you can maintain that it wasn’t well executed or that the role mia played here bothers you #but you can’t say jason was mocking her for that or even seriously trying to hurt her physically #he was bsing like 90% of the story with his constant ‘we should all kill anyone who inconveniences us! speedy and GA should try to kill me #if they want to win’ like we understand that yes? #but that last part of his convo with Mia was the one serious part #he was wrong! of course he was wrong about ollie. but this was also Jason’s first time meeting ollie #it was ridiculous and unnecessary on his end and it put mia thru the emotional wringer for nothing #but that wasn’t the Intention. it was a stupid thing done by someone who never expected anything to come of it but still said what *to him* #was a way of offering advice #and as for the ppl who go ‘stop reaching abt jason being a victim and just read Mia instead’ #a) there’s more to Mia’s character than her past. anyone who thinks that fits Jason’s past wouldn’t necessarily like mia bc they’re not the #same character #it’s the same way that if jason was confirmed to have been a victim of SA as a kid then all of Mia’s fans wouldn’t love him like they love #her? this is common sense. anyways stop being assholes online and just recommend characters too ppl nicely #b) more than one character can have experienced a similar form of abuse. also common sense #c) it’s not an unreasonable hc #d) it doesn’t hurt you personally. none of this killed your grandma #once again: hate whoever you like but choosing the interpretation that doesn’t make sense just to make up a #‘valid’ reason is serious loser behaviour

I think if you convinced Astarion not to ascend, he’s there for the Haarlep encounter, and you fail the CON check (push Haarlep away), he should lose his cool and fire an arrow at Haarlep or something and interrupt Haarlep’s magic, giving you another chance to fight instead. I do think the sex abuse survivor witnessing his friend or lover being coerced into sex would notice when they want to escape and would have something to say about it.

#it’s wild how all of your party members stand there and watch this unfold in silence #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #it’s so uncomfortable and humiliating #i couldn’t handle it i had to reload my save and go the fighting route instead #i had lae’zel and shadowheart with me. and i get how they could ig bear this in stoney-faced silence #but i had astarion with me too. and i just do Not believe he’d watch this in silence #not after you’ve helped free him from a life of abuse slavery and noncon #he should protest more than ‘are you sure we can trust [haarlep]’ #or maybe even offer to take your/tav’s place #it wouldn’t work of course. haarlep would insist on tav #but it would further show his char development since act 1 and how much he’s grown to care about you/tav #that he’s willing to put himself through that again so you don’t have to #i mean #I’m not the only one who sees parallels between cazador and haarlep #AND astarion and haarlep #right #I’m not the only one who thinks haarlep would Really Bother astarion. right #I’ve heard astarion is sympathetic (the only companion who is) if you lose/surrender your body #but i just think he should also be the one who’s like hey let’s Not let our friend be taken advantage of like this

You don't have to respond to this if you don't want to, I know it will start unneeded drama but I just found it soooo interesting that, since the transphobic blog lets you see their likes, most of their likes are TWC related. And it's not like that fandom is notorious for being a toxic hellspace, no sir.

to be frank it's not just twc, the IF space as a whole is pretty notorious for being toxic at this point. whether you're on tumblr or reddit or the forums, you're going to find these kinds of people lurking around.

that was why i did post that person's username because i could see them interacting with various other authors, and it's best to just block them before they send you something stupid, too.

just like any large online community there are going to be a lot of trolls trying to get attention by sending inflammatory messages or leaving cruel comments wherever they can; i've been getting that kind of stuff sent to me or left in reviews or comments for years now. and currently losers online are having a fucking field day with everything that's going on right now - racism, islamophobia, antisemitism, transphobia, even gore, i've gotten it all in my inbox over the last few months and i've seen others get even worse. these people are pathetic and not worth your time. i've gotten better at not responding to stuff like that, but it is hard to resist that instinctive anger, and that's exactly why they do it & exactly why you see it in every single fandom/online space.

all of that to say, just ignore and block them and you'll have a far better time online than if you constantly try to argue or reason with them because they don't care, their only goal is to make you miserable. even if you think you have some epic clapback, it's not worth it, you're still giving them the attention they clearly desperately want and potentially exposing others to harmful rhetoric. just block 'em, babey!

#it's also why i didn't bother actually responding to that person's message cus there was no reason to share it #just for them to get some weirdo satisfaction from it #i really try to only respond if i feel like it's something i can properly address in a meaningful way #but you can tell when asks are just meant to upset you and you should just block and delete those #and i dont care about twc but i dont think its helpful to blame one single group here #when overall the fandom space within IF and elsewhere is always kinda rancid #i cannot stress enough to just block people. i've gotten way more liberal about it over the years #there's no reason for you to have to interact with every single person just cus you're in the same space #even as an author #extracting myself from certain circles has helped me way more than trying to appease an audience that hates me #anyways it's been upsetting this past few months to see the depravity of some people that are just reveling in all of this #that's why i kinda wanted to respond to this. it's bleak out here but you'll always have the block button and the knowledge #that despite it all you aren't someone who wasted their time harassing random strangers on the internet! #ask #anonymous

full offense but them changin it so that pronouns refering to aeons are in all caps is shit. like it doesnt read good its way too disjointing and breaks up the flow of it. like i know its sposed to be like. reverential capitalization but it feels so goofy and i dont like it.

shoulda went w the more common form of reverential capitalization. just capitalize the first letter like. 'They won't be coming... but you still long to meet Them.'

#egg hsr #i really dont like it straighjt up i think it sucks like it bothers me WAY more than it should #just capitalize the fucking T!!!!!

So with the release of Legion Imperialis, I can finally fulfill my dream of owning tiny Space Marines, which is great. The new kits are beautiful and have an impressive amount of detail for such a small thing.

Look at this little guy. He's so cute. This isn't the first time GW has done a small scale version of Warhammer, the last one being called Epic or Epic 40k. The main difference between the two, model wise, lord knows I can't be bothered to actually learn the rules for either, is that Epic was at 6mm scale, and Legion Imperialis is at 8mm. It's not a huge difference but it really counts at this scale and it annoys me to no end seeing people refer to the new stuff as epic scale. It's not epic scale! Epic was an older game working at a different scale! Stop confusing the conversation by making people think it's the same thing!

#40k stuff #i juat wanted an excuse to show off my tiny tank and bitch about a thing no one cares about but which bothers me more than it should

It frustrates me to no end that whenever House connects to a patient in some way (not in an incredibly wholesome and character developmental way just House actually liking a patient for once) House ends up not being to interact with them as much orthey end up screwing with him.

A couple of examples: House and the mom from Merry Little Christmas, House was detoxing and not even in the hospital half the time

The girl who betted on horses was faking most of her symptoms

Weird Alaskan psychiatrist had a boyfriend.

It would be different if House pushed the patient away, but not the narrative for goodness’s sake.

I’m like Johnny Truant in the tags of every goddamn post I make or reblog on this site and I’m not apologizing. If you want me to apologize come over to my house and you can talk to the minotaur about it

#House of leaves #im literally going insane these days I should go back to journaling but I’m also afraid of how far off the deep end I’ll go #Literally I am losing it and I’m being serious #I’m so fucking tired of being lonely and being left out and not being able to make connections #Sometimes I feel as if im doing things without realizing and no one is telling me about it #Other times it feels like I must have something incredibly wrong with my face or body and no one will say anything #People make plans and don’t bother to ask me if I want to join and then when I find out there’s a group chat that all my friends are in #Except me and when I asked if I could join I was given a bunch of reasons that were frankly bullshit why I couldn’t join #Are they talking shit about me? I know everybody there it’s not like I am a stranger #Am I just a stranger in this world as I unllikeable? I try my best to be nice and charitable but what am I missing? #Do I black out and say things and do things? Am I more mentally ill than I know? #The only reason (or one of the very few) why I stay alive is because of my horses because I know they would miss me and I already feel bad #Not seeing them everyday #I’m tired of being the odd one out I’m tired of being entertaining when necessary #I don’t want my only friends to be horses because it further alienates me from the rest of society and I just want to be accepted I’m not #Looking to fit in I just want connection and friendship and I can barely seem to manage that #Maybe I’m just not worth it.

your post about being non binary is literally so real i remember agonizing about my gender and being like "awe i wish i could use they/them pronouns that would be really cool and awesome and id love that a lot. too bad i cant!!!!" yes. yes you can.

as far as your own personal identity goes you can do whatever you want forever I think

#my logic with gender is that It's none of my business what anyone else does with it so why should they care about what I do with mine #at the end of the day it comes down to the person to decide and I could never know someone more than they know themselves so. idc #but no yes sometimes I'm in the throes of the I Need To Be Normal And Accepted By Society Or I Will Explode and forget #though to be fair I still plan on living my day-to-day as a man the point is that it doesn't need to mean anything #it's just what is most convenient atm to do and I don't need to worry about that reflecting my own personal truth about gender. yk #[.asks] #anonymous #I'd like to present more androgynously but uhm. Not likely until I can go on some low-dose hrt. I dislike the comments I get about it #also on god if I get terfs bothering me about this again.

I've been an absolute emotional wreck since last night due to my narcissist father making me feel less than human so can i..........ask for some reassurance that i'm not an absolute failure of a human being

or pictures of your cats, that would help a lot too

#its been months of dealing with his abuse and last night it left me feeling worse than ever and i am just #really exhausted and mentally broken rn #and i hate asking for reassurance because I always feel like a bother and I should just deal with shit myself until it passes #but when i say last night was bad it was bad and i feel like i am not even meant to be alive that is how that man made me feel #so i just wanna be selfish this one time #and ask for spare kindness because i could really use it right now because my feelings arent going away #no matter how hard im trying to distract myself today and i dont have the strenght to stay like this for a week or more #so yeah #gomen for rambling in the tags im just really #idfk embarrassed and ashamed i dont like asking for help i feel dumb even tho i know its not dumb but yeah #txt
