Hi, I'm Sack! I'm 22, and I like Pokemon, video games, and mid-tier anime. I've been writing every day for almost 4 years and am pretty gosh-dang proud of that.
people who think they’re too cool for pokemon baffle me. you think you’re cooler than turtwig? huh? you think you’re fucking better than turtwig? look at me in the eye . you think you are better than turtwig? that you’re too cool for them??? you’re a coward and know nothing .
I swear to God, if someone were to trap 2 million animals, deprive them of food and water, and kill 50,000 of them, the world would be shaken by this catastrophe and brutality.
What’s happening is unbelievable, illogical. We are human beings… human beings!!
be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now
I know this is a joke but like, yeah. It is. I promise you.
See, I had graduated early from highschool and then got my associates in Zoology. But then, from ages 18-23, I was medicated with antipsychotics and (for those last two years) a deadly combo of sedatives due to misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis, and then a psychiatrist who was legitimately on drugs and just writing random shit that almost killed me.
Anyway, needless to say, my brain turned to mush and stopped working, and it took me 6 years to get some sort of bachelors degree (in fashion??) and I graduated at the bottom of my class.
And then I got properly diagnosed (the “psychosis” was just narcolepsy) and got off all those meds. And I was so afraid my brain was permanently fucked. And it is, cause of the narcolepsy part, but the narcolepsy doesn’t kill the parts of your brain where your smarts are.
But I went back to school. Got another bachelors studying sustainable tourism. Turns out my smarts hadn’t gone anywhere when my brain turned to mush. I graduated with a 3.98 GPA.
Now I’m getting my masters in biology studying the intersection of tourism and the conservation of the critically endangered Cozumel raccoon. And doing well. 🤷🏻♀️
Your brain is not a muscle in the literal sense, but it is a muscle in the sense that the more you use it, the better developed it becomes. Not using it might make its usefulness dip for a bit, but that doesn’t mean it’s gone forever. You might have to work your way back up, start with easier exercises (puzzles, creative exercises, critical thinking questions) before jumping back into the stuff you used to do, but like a couch to 5k slowly ramp up the difficulty and you’ll get there in the end. No one’s brains are useless, you just gotta meet ‘em where they’re at.
I’d just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker’s marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.
Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.
He only took occasional sips of water.
The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.
Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.
Senator Booker’s speech did reach many people. It wasn’t a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.
Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to “make good trouble.”
also like, a Black man breaking Strom Thurmond’s record is absolutely *chef’s kiss*
for those who are too young to know about Strom, he was literally a white supremacist
He trained himself to give this speech by practicing and then implementing limits on food and water intake leading up to this. He cut out food for days, then cut out water the day before.
He then went to do an appearance on Maddow after yielding.
Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to “you” being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I’d have no other option but to try and kill them
It’s always “oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me” and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society
Me, crashing the fuck out: you think you’re better than me? You think you’re fucking better than me???
My good clone, dodging a glass: I mean like objectively yeah
