Pasteur's HomoGenius Smart Milk DefaultR and Buyable for The Sims 2
""But Jacky, what about a Smart Milk version?"" - Here we are! :D
Tumblr media
This is a 4to2 conversion from YourDorkBrains, medium poly. You can choose to replace the original one with my version (standard OR simlish; animations, sounds and effects are the same, even the glowing bottles) or/and choose the buyable version with its simlish recolor (this version has no limit of restocking bottles and its own guid). I added a default replacement for the smart milk bottle too (with its cute einstein face on it) but everything will work even without it.

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

the closest thing there is to a Gilear in the real world is Brian Murphy. just something to think about. just a little something.

i think one of my favorite things about the boys is how out of all of them hughie, the one considered to be the useless civilian one, is ultimately the one who did the most against vought, and most of it was by mistake or an accident.
like. hughie electrocuted and then murdered a member of the seven, was responsible for another’s death, and had an occasion to let another die and only didnt because he’s a good person. he infiltrated vought tower twice, going as far as the seven’s main room. he bugged said room and one of the seven’s phone. he successfully broke five prisoners out of vought facilities. he hacked into a supe’s computer to spy on her which allowed them to blackmail her. he encouraged annie to fight back against the deep which led to him being fired from the seven. he also showed up to a-train’s hostage situation, blackmailed him into letting his dad go, then had his leg broken which also led to him being fired. plus all the information and help they get from annie they get only because hughie knows her. he gave butcher the solution to make sure vought wouldn’t find them when they had transluscent. he lied to homelander’s face and is the only human except edgar and butcher who stood up to him. the information which allowed to take down stormfront was given to him and annie, not any of the boys. he successfully blackmailed ezekiel without even having any evidence, purely through improvisation, and is the one who found out where the compound v was which directly led to discovering how supes are made. he helped obtain and leak the compound v information to the public.
like the boys would be NOWHERE at this point if butcher hadn’t recruited him and its hilarious because since he doesn’t look intimidating nobody focuses on him. homelander saw the boys and immediately decided butcher was his sworn enemy he was gonna have a rivalry with and completely overlooked the awkward twink. when in reality the boys aint shit without him and said awkward twink is objectively the biggest threat against vought so far, and he directly or indirectly got FOUR of the seven either killed or fired. literally every single one of the boys, annie included, would be dead without him and he’s not even trying half of the time or he does it on accident. and yet everyone just goes ‘oh yeah thats hughie he doesnt really do anything’. idk why this is so funny to me

you don't have to be vegan to make little changes that help your health and also the environment in teeny ways. you can be a "cheater vegetarian" and eat meat at restaurants. you can be "vegan-ish" and avoid animal products for "the most part." you can make no changes except switch dairy milk for almond or soy or whatever. you can cut down your land meat consumption and go for fish instead. you can do any of these things. or none of them. it is up to you
but my point mainly here is that vegans who try to force an all or nothing mindset when it comes to plant based eating aren't helping advance their cause. at all.

Kids are wonderful.
I bought Neil Gaiman's "Fortunately the milk" for my son. He's 8 years old and it's his first Neil Gaiman's book, but he knows Morpheus because he saw me read the comics.
There's Neil's picture on the inside cover of the book. He's all dressed in black.
When he saw the picture, my son immediately said, "it's funny, he looks very much like the king of dreams and nightmares!"
I smirked and nodded. I never told him I had also noticed that, a while ago.
☺️

can we have some swinlock? ^_^ and would they have a sparkling?
Tumblr media
Swindle actually approached Lockdown who just “left” being a cyberninja and basically became someone who just wanders, not knowing what to do with his life anymore. That was when Swindle decided to look out for him abit out of some odd pity (and also Cus he was hot) . Swindle was also the one that helped him get into bounty hunting so now they’re business partners and even more on the side ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
They both aren’t thinking of sparklings atm because of their lifestyles and tbh they’re not very committed to the relationship. But who knows, maybe there is still someone waiting for them in The well of allsparks
