#this sounds absurd but

[wyvernne]

miss wyvernne how did you like your first year of law school!!( Im thinking about going to law school n I want a good gauge at what it’s like)

it was honestly so much better than i thought it would be. it’s a lot of work, and i won’t downplay that. just constant reading and studying, often at the expense of sleep and rest. but it absolutely flew by. i got my final grades back this past week and it really sunk in that i did it. it definitely took the first semester to settle into the groove of it, and a lot of overthinking that i was making a terrible mistake. but if you’re willing to put in the work and can find a solid way to cope with the stress then it is absolutely worth it. people talk smack about lawyers but it is super rewarding knowing that we can help people in some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

#i was scared out of my mind leading up to law school starting #and those first months was just second guessing if i should even be there #but i kept being told ‘the admissions councils don’t make mistakes’ #it really does make you realize just how much you can be capable of #i’ve done an insane amount of work the past year #and i am really proud of myself #cried after my first exam feeling like i bombed it and ended up with an A #this sounds absurd but #fucking ace attorney 💀 #a lot of it is recognizing patterns and being able to apply rules #also heard the LSAT is changing which is amazing #studying for it was nightmare I hate that MF #but you absolutely need to get an LSAT prep book bc it’s such a wild exam #logic games my arch nemesis 😡 #i was also so scared of cold calling but everyone screws up at some point #you stop thinking about it tbh

on March 14th 2023, a Polish abortion activist Justyna Wydrzyńska was sentenced to eight months of community service for helping a woman in an abusive relationship access abortion pills

Poland has one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe.

if you can, please consider donating to ADT, the organisation that helps people in Poland access abortion!

edit: i see this post got reblogged into the terf teritory. ADT is trans friendly. please just donate and be quiet <3

#luckily they still can appeal and it's better than jail still but like. #it's so stupid that so much time is wasted on those absurd trials #i know that community service doesn't sound that bad comparing to some other things happening around the world #but still at first she was told she could face up to 3 years in jail #idk those women are heros and make me feel much more safer and less stressed living in Poland #because I know if I ever needed an abortion they would be there to help me #and also 5 dollars is almost an equivalent of a minimum hourly wage in Poland #polish currency is weaker so even 2 dollars count a lot! #and the judge was a woman! same as the leader of the constitutional tribunal that made abortion more illegal #feminism #abortion #poland #human rights #reproductive rights

Happy birthday to Albert Camus!

(November 7, 1913 - January 4, 1960)

"In this light and silence, years of night and fury melted slowly away. I listened to an almost forgotten sound within myself, as if my heart had long been stopped and was now gently beginning to beat again."

the problem with posting original fiction instead of fic is that i don't have comments enabled on my website so i just reflexively checked ao3 for new comments on the thing i did not post there

#original #in theory i could enable comments but i do not want to #there's probably a way to restrict commenting to paid members but even that sounds terrible #i would still have to do literally any moderation whatsoever and the first time someone who is paying me was a shithead i would be like #well if you hadn't said that i could have kept taking your money #and lbr nothing collects comments at the absurd rate of karen

Life With The Lennons, Exclusive by Ray Coleman, April 1965 [x]

#john lennon #cynthia lennon #the beatles #ray coleman #kenwood #1965 #wish we had a specific date for this one #given this is around the same time as help! writing and LSD coffee spiking #im not sure ive read another pre-1968 interview that sounds more like bitter 70s john #but some interesting things here #his comments on growing old consider he later called this era his fat elvis period #his game with the press compared to paul #sounding more enthused about films than recording #the guy who told john ab contacts #early glasses johnny #an appearance of nigel the dog #how he uses soft to describe him but then uses it to barrage the idk radio hosts? #i'll follow the sun coming on the radio and the absurdity of saying paul was 10 when he wrote it #(he was 16 at the earliest possibly 17 or 18 and he didnt finish it until he was 22) #they're so weird with referring to their ages in the 60s like j&p just keep saying they met when they were 12 #(they were never 12 at the same time so its either shorthand or some absurd joke) #april 1965 #john speaks #text scans #ad lib club

would you guys consider tagging the name of the musician in each poll?

We don't do that, in order to avoid potentially skewing the results by putting the poll directly in front of the fandom / anyone following the tag, lol --rottel

#If you need to find a specific poll you can search for it. I know that sounds absurd considering... it's tumblr search #But it's worked for me so far ? so. who knows #asks

I titled a notes document "special sequel" for reasons that make sense, but I keep seeing it and thinking of Neil Gaiman's "special spoilers" tag.

No, there are no nonexistant wives or improbable slapstick in this story. Aliens, yes. Angels and demons, no.

#save that for the fanfic #special spoilers #Neil Gaiman #Good Omens #tempted to name an alien Dottie just for laughs #they're all macho dinosaur-looking dudes so that would be amusingly absurd #it would probably be short for something tough-sounding #hmm #writer life

here's a dumb thought i had

#hannibal #nbc hannibal #art #hannibal art #role reversal au #i know it sounds absurd but it makes sense in my mind #....yes they look like their s3 selves what of it #i used a promo pic as reference for will but i lost it halfway through & had to go by memory (lol)

I feel like barnabys favorite drink (alcoholic) might be a old fashioned? And non alcoholic mixed drink. Might be a Shirley temple. (Which Is my favorite non alcoholic mixed drink!)

(Of course this is all my opinion! But yea!

he Does feel like a classy guy, huh? but who's to say! Who's. To. Say...

#ohhhh dont say shirley temple thats one of my favs as well.... #dont put that thought in my head... #oh what i wouldnt do for one rn. its been so long </3 #catch me going to the bar and getting one of those instead of Anything else #rambles from the bog #but yeah. who knows maybe he'd enjoy just plain whiskey #a nice Quality bourbon perhaps... #we're probably way off the mark here! #no wait he seems to have a sweet tooth given his hotdog order... as well as a lack of tastebuds... #idk. you know that guy who makes hellish alcohol concoctions in bathtubs. bathtub jungle juice #maybe barn would enjoy That. absolutely absurd concept.... #but as always! what do i know! #lmfao im picturing him swirling whipped cream on whiskey aaslcnjalscnslkd + a cherry.... maybe some sprinkles.... #actually that doesnt sound too bad. hm. #we Do have whiskey i think... maybe ill have some fun tomorrow #nah actually im not a big fan of straight whiskey #im more of a rum guy... maybe ill do that to some Rum...

I guess I'm on strike, too

Well. Yesterday was my first, strike. It's been a week now and I still refuse to believe it. I've been chased by cops in the street many times, everyday a new riot, fires in the streets. I've been tear gased so much, yesterday I felt my whole skin burning, choking and crying hoping it would only stop. I've seen people being beaten up in front of my eyes, not being able to intervene without getting arrested too. Met wonderful people. A solidarity I've been crying for for years. Seen so many buildings burn on my phone and some in front of my eyes too. It's kinda weird, isn't it ? You see all the pictures and it seems so much more impressive than right in front of your eyes. Today someone lost one. An eye. The president told us someone getting killed could stop the reform. I don't want that. No one does. The violence get much worse by the day. I'm always on the front line and I'm not gonna stop being there. I've been an activist pretty much my whole life, but a scared one only since yesterday. Anyone can get arrested, beaten up now. But we're numerous, faster than the BRAV, faster than the CRS (I know I am, I've outrun them many times now). I know how resilient we can be.

Well. I don't know why I'm telling you all of this. It has nothing to do with the blog. I love you all. The fact that every empire will burn one day is the only thing that gives me hope. If you too are in France, we are living history. May we change our world. Run fast, be strong. Do not trust Le pen, Macron, any of them. Only the people can help eachother now.

#i don't know how to tag this #absurd rant but #im pretty tired #and for once #i want to talk about this without scaring my friends or family #this blog is in pause for the moment #sorry #it probably sounds very stupid from afar

sometimes I have autistic realizations that hit really hard.

I'm listening to a podcast (science vs) episode about meditation and what it does/how you do it/if it works. first there was an example of a meditation for mindfulness and focusing on breathing and how it feels. I was thinking how that seems pointless because i'm always aware of how it feels to breathe: my chronically stuffy nose, asthma, ribcage/back hurting if I breathe too deep/etc. but I already knew I have to think about breathing more than most people or I might accidentally hold my breath, and my chronic stuffy nose is very annoying to deal with.

then this part i'm at now talks about how most people go through taking a shower without really realizing they're doing it, like they arent feeling the shower sensations and just go through the motions. so mindful showering is feeling the water on your skin, feeling the temperature of the water and how it changes, etc. "being present, knowing what it feels like, knowing you are there and alive and having that experience..." and that's what mindfulness is.

the thing about me, due to being autistic, i'm basically practicing mindfulness 24/7 against my will. my sensory units in my brain are on constant overdrive and I cannot turn them off. i'm aware of every sensation and feeling and sound and etc at all times and can't ignore them.

the big realization this gave me is that...I'm profoundly aware of being alive and present. i'm overly aware of what i'm experiencing at all times. while most people can use mindfulness to ground themselves from overwhelm and anxiety caused by every day life worries, I GET anxiety and overwhelm from mindfulness-like experiences.

how do i tune things out and turn off my brain? I need an anti-mindfulness method that isn't dissociating out of my mind 😅

#autism #autistic #actually autistic #mindfulness #any other autistic people feel this way ir have this experience? #I feel like mindfulness could help the autistic people with low sensory feeling and need more stimulation #but for the ones who are always overstimulated and have high sensory experiences its so pointless #ive had it suggested to me so much and it always sounds so absurd to focus deeply on things i cant ignore...... #its exhausting to be unable to ignore them so making me focus more on them would possibly throw me into a panic attack? #brains are interesting #i dissociate a lot and its always the first thing people suggest. but i think one reason i dissociate is #my constant unintentional mindfulness i naturally do that i cant shut off ��� #sometimes the way to turn it off is to dissociate to hell and back lmao

it's been a minute since i've posted anything adventure forward related it seems. have a sammy (ss1) and maynot

these designs are for an adventure forward au of mine that has an absurd amount of meticulous lore! it's a project i've had on the backburner for a little over a year now so i figured it's about time i start sharing it with the world. i'll be tagging anything i make for it as #adventure forward overwrite, since that's the name of the au and stuff.

you'll probably be seeing these two pop up a lot considering i have uh... *checks notes* about 12 more of these designs left to make. very cool.

#art #ms paint #fan designs #adventure forward overwrite #adventure forward #adventure forward 1 #af1 #(also was considering tagging this as oc art cause i feel like sammy could count as an oc but.. nah) #extra notes: i promise the suspicious x-shaped scar on sammy's face is lore relevant for reasons other than 'omg stratosfear!!!' #also the name of the au was not chosen at random. if enough people care about it i might explain the whole deal with that #it's gonna sound absurd asf though since the whole thing is based on a theory and the whole 3 lines of dialogue that theory comes from lol.
