#perception management

[unwelcome-ozian]

Perception management:

involves denying, or blocking, propaganda, it can also entail advancing the U.S.’s own narrative. The Defense Department defines perception management in its official dictionary as “[a]ctions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning.” This is the part that has, historically, tended to raise the public’s skepticism of the Pentagon’s work.

Defining Justice: How Lawyers Serve Their Clients and Communities Introduction

Justice is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been debated for centuries. It is often defined as the fair treatment of individuals or groups within a society, but the definition can vary depending on cultural, social, and political factors. For lawyers, the pursuit of justice is a central part of their profession, as they serve their clients and communities in their quest for fairness and equality under the law.

In this blog, we will explore the role of lawyers in defining and promoting justice. We will discuss the various ways in which lawyers serve their clients and communities, and how their work helps to shape our understanding of justice.

The Role of Lawyers in Defining Justice

Lawyers play a crucial role in defining justice, both within the legal system and in society as a whole. They are responsible for upholding the law and protecting the rights of their clients, while also working to promote fairness and equality in the broader community.

At its core, the legal profession is built on the principles of justice and fairness. Lawyers are trained to interpret and apply the law in a way that ensures equal treatment for all individuals, regardless of their background, status, or position in society. They work to protect the rights of their clients and ensure that justice is served in every case.

Lawyers also play an important role in shaping our understanding of justice in society. Through their work, they help to define the boundaries of acceptable behavior and establish standards of conduct that promote fairness and equality. They work to promote social justice by advocating for policies and practices that support the rights and well-being of marginalized communities.

The work of lawyers is essential to ensuring that justice is served in our society. They help to ensure that everyone has access to the legal system and that their rights are protected under the law.

Serving Clients

One of the primary roles of lawyers is to serve their clients. They work with individuals, businesses, and organizations to provide legal advice and representation, helping them to navigate the complexities of the legal system and protect their rights.

Lawyers serve their clients in a variety of ways. They may provide advice on legal matters, draft legal documents, negotiate on their behalf, or represent them in court. Their work is essential to protecting the rights of their clients and ensuring that justice is served in every case.

Lawyers also play an important role in promoting justice within their client’s organizations. They help to establish policies and practices that promote fairness and equality, and they work to ensure that their clients are in compliance with the law.

Serving Communities

In addition to serving their clients, lawyers also serve their communities. They work to promote social justice and advocate for policies and practices that support the rights and well-being of marginalized communities.

Lawyers play an important role in promoting access to justice for all individuals. They work to ensure that everyone has access to the legal system, regardless of their financial situation or social status. They may provide pro bono services, offer legal clinics, or advocate for policies that promote access to justice.

Lawyers also work to promote diversity and inclusion within their communities. They advocate for policies and practices that support the rights of marginalized communities and work to eliminate barriers to equality.

Conclusion

The pursuit of justice is a central part of the legal profession. Lawyers play a crucial role in defining and promoting justice, both within the legal system and in society as a whole. They serve their clients by providing legal advice and representation, and they work to promote social justice by advocating for policies and practices that support the rights and well-being of marginalized communities.

The work of lawyers is essential to ensuring that justice is served in our society. They help to establish standards of conduct that promote fairness and equality, and they work to ensure that everyone has access to the legal system. As such, the legal profession is a vital component of our society, and the

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #like... anxiety and depression are often concieved of as simple and easy to manage... #...but that isn't the case for so many of us. anxiety and depression just have a lot more research invested into them... #...and while i wish this were the case for literally every other condition it does alter people's perception of you to some extent... #...so while this is NOT solely about anxiety or depression it includes us... #...my anxiety and depression and PTSD have *destroyed* my life. this is chronic and will probably be life-long... #...and that isn't my fault. i've done the fucking work but guess what? that doesn't account for the fact that I Am Just ILL #the least we can do for each other is to be compassionate #be compassionate to those who cannot heal. be compassionate to the people who can't manage their lives. this world is scary enough #recognize that management of symptoms is something not all of us can do - even IF their condition is labeled as 'easy to manage' #i allowed myself to feel angry that i can't heal 'normally' and that was unfair as fuck toward myself #and i NEED people to internalize this so that MAYBE this could help somebody else who is where i was #i NEED them to understand that it's okay that they are where they are - sometimes shit just doesn't turn out how you expect or want #don't beat yourself over you being a person. you are struggling enough. you deserve to rest. just rest please #and just... give yourself space

i like to think that the other bb students' perception of florian goes from thinking he's this cool mysterious & melancholic pretty boy trainer from paldea that blazed through the bb elite 4 and nearly beat kieran to wondering how the hell someone who seems to know shit about dick when it comes to battling ended up as an exchange student at a battling-focused school.

#really how did he manage to fool ppl into thinking he's cool TWICE?? #the events of indigo disk really end up twisting ppl's perception of florian #so when he comes back with this cheery demeanor everyone's like ??? #they're even more baffled by how lost he seems during practical lessons ( though his can-do attitude towards improving is pretty endearing ) #florian's definitely a better trainer than he was before teal mask... but he's still bad at fully grasping the mechanics of battling #dude rolls up to a school that specializes in double battles not even knowing that you can optimize your team for that battle style #he really does just brute force his way through battles thanks to all his pokemon being lvl 100 & also full of love #hc : (pkmn) mjverse #hc : (mjv) paldea #chara : florian russel cavallari #mj.txt

One thing I really like is how we've gotten to the point in The Umbrella Academy where they all recognize how nothing the numbers are. Like, in season one we had Luther thinking himself as the defacto leader for being number 1, Diego's whole complex about being second and always going against Luther because of it, Viktor's whole thing about being the last number due to supposedly not having any powers.

And now we're in season 3 and literally none of them care anymore. Like Luther's reaction to the sparrows kidnapping him, thinking because he's number 1 and therefore should be the leader is just like "??? do you think those guys listen to me?? i guess I can talk to them for you if you want", which is kind of endearing since for him is less like he's giving orders to his team and more like he's asking his family for a favor. Plus the fact that he and Diego have become an iconic duo of himbos within the fandom, only showcases that they are pretty much beyond the fight for leadership at this point. And Viktor, well, he had the whole scene at the beginning with Marcus that essentially boiled down to "yeah, I may be number 7 but let's be honest, I could still pretty much kick your ass if I wanted to" without even blinking.

I just think is such a great way to showcase how they've grown past Reginald's abuse, in that they don't need to equate their worth to the number they're asigned to. It's especially such an evident thing when you compare it to how the sparrows (specifically Marcus, Fei and Ben) spent almost the whole season bickering about the number one position, and how they still see it as the most important thing within their team.

#the umbrella academy spoilers #the umbrella academy #tua spoilers #tua #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #ben hargreeves #something something... #isn't it funny how in their respective introductions the umbrellas start with their number and their name is in quotes #but over the course of the series they grow into their names as an Actual family #meanwhile the sparrows had their name first and then AKA their number seemingly on the same ground #but instead it managed to blur their perception of team and family to the point they equate their position in one also in the other

blacked out and came to with a document full of macden

#ada speaks #ada writing macden in 2024........ hm #its all dennis introspection but i have a Plan #the funny thing abt macden is that mac is so goddamn dense i can commit to usual den shenanigans #charlie is way too perceptive it doesn't usually work #i will laugh if i manage to post this before any of my longass fics #its. playing with some concepts i have used before (i will say. victoria being conceptualized as an entirely separate person.) #i find den's separation of self really fascinating bc for me the trans experience has been. hm #playing a part for the masses but knowing who i am beneath that #its opposite for dennis but also the same. he doesn't see vicky as himself but he doesn't have a core either #he's a shell hosting her in his body but she also feels like the most authentic version of the self #and thus. gender euphoria. very weird and complicated gender euphoria. #one dennis holds himself back from expressing to its fullest extent #what was i talking about again #oh yeah macden. that's there too. i think probably den's gonna put the moves on mac but i haven't decided how itll go..... #this fic is just dennis doing psych student brain things thinking abt mac and their relationship and breaking it all down

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........

#MOTHER FFFFUCKER #to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants #im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night #at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn #to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS #the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori #but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey #consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!! #just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick #outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to #animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better #at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH #i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc #im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over #where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands #there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE #ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles #but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your #health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!! #im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves #also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet #im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to #have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to #to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up #their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ #yapping

[paging-possum]

was going to start writing an essay about the possible overlap between christianity and OCD and then I remembered im on Tumblr dot com and also a fucking idiot when it comes to putting things into words

#idk man I just think about it sometimes #because I feel like one of the biggest steps in the direction of ocd treatment/management/recovery is to acknowledge that it exists #and recognize your obsessions and compulsions are becoming detrimental #and it becomes so much more difficult to do that when the obsessions are around gods perception of you/your own moral standing #because it just feels like a normal religious thing to be thinking about and worried about #and compulsions like repeated prayer just feel like something you're supposed to do #so even the thought that they could be bad feels blasphemous and it becomes a vicious cycle of ocd and IDK!!! IDK!!!!! #I still feel very weird talking about it with other people but its something I think about a lot because the worst part of it is that #no matter how bad it is breaking the cycle is maybe the most terrifying part of it and on top of that if religion is a big part of your lif #then it can be harder to find support for it as well because everyone around you doesn't see it as a problem either #idk im just rambling a little bit. anyways. hi guys religious ocd is a major bitch I kinda want to write something about it

Did ‘The Puzzler’ actually say that the answer was on gl!Slimecicle but then the mask altered gl!Ranboo’s perception of what he said? It glitched and gl!Slime was screaming so we know gl!Ranboo’s perception was being altered in that scene and Puzzler seemed kinda disturbed by it.

Also, the fact they got the hat that temporarily freed gl!Sneeg from the brainwashing from gl!Slime. Did they pull it out of him of did he hand it to them? Was it actually covered in slime or blood? Since both gl!Sneeg and gl!Slime are labeled friend, are they all friends outside of the brainwashing? Did they put gl!Sneeg’s hat on him, smeared with his friends blood, for him to be suddenly aware of his friend bleeding out in front of him? Did gl!Ranboo unknowingly butcher his own friend and then leave him to possibly bleed out (I mean they kept talking about getting him help so idk)?

#genloss #generation loss #ranboo #genloss spoilers #gl!the puzzler #gl!slimecicle #gl!ranboo #gl!sneeg #i don't know if gl!slime was actually aware all the time or just the glitches #but the image of him bleeding out #but still wanting to get gl!sneeg his hat #and just giving them the bloodstained hat while barely able to move #he says that he feel better after giving the hat #i think #but what if without the altered perception he is happy he managed to hand off the hat #sorry if people have already said this #i was just thinking about it

There’s a good chance Lykaia might be late this week for patrons. Had period cramps yesterday that damn near sent me to the ER so we are not doing well, friends.

#mine have always been bad #like passing out level bad but they’ve been manageable the last few months #but yesterday jfc i couldn’t even wrap my head around the level of pain #and my family thinks they’ll get kids from me one day?? HA! when hell freezes over #idk what’s up tho I might make a doctors appointment tho I doubt I’ll find anything out #the joys of being a black woman am I right??? #and imagine me showing up with my dark skinned bf too they’ll surely prescribe me some Tylenol and brush off my pain #I love being black but I hate everyone else’s perception of blackness #text post

[chaotic-carnifex]

Shocked and dismayed to discover that the medication I take to help with my symptoms actually helps with my symptoms and that therefore the reason I struggled so much with my symptoms yesterday may in fact have been because I did not take the medication that helps with my symptoms.

#also convincing my brain that we're not Catholic is an uphill battle for some reason #'it's not that bad we can manage without medication today' my brain in atheism it does not NEED to be 'that bad' to take the damn meds #also your perception of how bad it is is warped when you're off the damn meds #just work with me please #actually adhd

am i so hard to care about?

#i need to vent and i know u guys cant stand me because i can feel it (and certainly from the anon hate) but i think im gonna have an ulcer #if i dont put this out somewhere #SH s*icide tw !!!!! #i need some advice or opinions because i feel like im losing it #i dont understand why my friends cant care about me #i know !!! i know i seem out of touch and insane because i say this so often and the question to someone reading would come natural: maybe #it is just ur perception…. maybe u suck ass as a friend too #and i do ponder about that!!!!!! i take those possibilities into consideration i do. and i genuinely dont think i suck as a friend. i always #check in. if they seem off i ask how they feel. i ask updates on their stuff. i dont think i deserve this tbh #but especially when i am struggling they just disappear #like even when i reach out and let them know im doing bad. they clearly read my measages and choose to ignore them #these are supposed to be my best friends #these days ive been so bad. and trigger warning again #i just feel so suicidal and i have been hurting myself in the desperate attempt to cope and manage these thoughts #and i dont tell them these things #i dont share the details because 1) it is too much to dump on someone and 2) they dont show any interest even on the surface level of my #problems so i just wouldnt tell them the deeper issues #i am just in so much pain. and i also feel a lot of anger because of their behavior. i feel so so hurt by it. so many years of this going on #of them just not even acknowledging my struggles while i was in the midst of them and trying still to support them and be there for e #whatever they had going on. and getting nothing in return #i hate that i feel so angry but i do. and ive been swallowing this anger and pain for so long i feel it eating my insides #even my therapist doesnt understand why i am friends with people that dont care about me #i dont know what i should do #i want to say something #actually i already talked about this to one of them one year ago exactly and i told her all these things and she just said she didnt know #why i was ignored. and then still kept being a part of it #the thing is i am so upset and my mental health is so so so bad. i am supposed to spend new years eve with them in two days but i dont know #how i can do that feeling like this #but if i speak to them about it i think it will also ruin the mood #if someone has any thoughts or advice it would be very welcome….
