maddening that there is a common medical condition whose symptoms consist of massive long-term loss of mental and physical functions, due to the incredibly damaging effects of prolonged stress overextending the mind and body by pushing it into survival mode beyond endurance—and that there is no medical term for it. despite the fact it's so damn common that everyone knows of someone suffering from "burnout."

Guys.

While there are many reasons to be experiencing burnout nowadays, there is a very real possibility that, in the wake of COVID, you are not suffering from just burnout, but from something called ME/CFS. It’s something you can get from any number of sources, but it’s gained recent notoriety as a part of Long Covid.

Unfortunately, I don’t currently have the spoons to attach resources (because I have the condition myself 🙄) - but in the meantime, there’s some info under the readmore that might help? I’d give it a look if you think you might be suffering from burnout, just to check.

listen this isn’t rat related but I’m going off the walls right now this is literally so fucking funny

orange bear puppet: i think tutter’s looking a little tired, don’t you?

tutter (mouse puppet): [panting and screaming]

this is still one of the funniest pieces of official art ever made

tomboyism is so funny to me. gender non-conformity for girls is acceptable for like two minutes between the ages of 8 and 10. beyond that it’s appalling and you’re a freak but for those two years…… they could’ve had it all

I love movies where the plot takes place in less than a day. It’s like. What if these people were experiencing the worst 8 hours of the entire lives and you got to see the highlight reel?

Not sure which fic writer needs to hear this, but please yall, follow your fancies. Be whimsical. Be evil little gremlins. Follow that plot bunny.

It makes writing waaaaaaaay less stressful when you are actually invested. If that means you have a ton of unfinished fics, then honestly, so be it in my opinion. You aren't being paid for your work. ENJOY THE PROCESS

Being non-binary is like instead of having an angel and a demon on ur shoulder u have a faggot and a dyke

the world is so beautiful everyone's on their own path

truly how it felt waking up this morning

Different Stories Resonate with Different People

I will always reblog this.

I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

Pokémon Human Character Tournament: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN

The fact that this poll managed to be close enough to show a 50/50 result when there was 111,329 votes - and people can't see the results before voting - is a testament to everything good and pure about this hellsite.

I just think that if nintendo is going to create a feature that even gets a dedicated button as part of the selling point then you should not need to pay a subscription service just to use it

having a button that you can’t press unless you wanna spend money means that nintendo has recreated the experience of accidentally pressing the internet button on your flip phone and you go you fuckfuckfuck as you try to back out as fast as possible before it charges your parents

every time tumblr changes their UI I feel like a bug in a jar who's just been shaken by a small child

If we lived in an imagined idyllic age of days gone by, Sony would be running TV ads featuring a guy with frosted tips in a sports car saying shit like "switch 2? Try switching 2 Playstation instead" and he'd drive off and you see his car is full of beautiful women and twinks (it's woke) but they'd never do that these days

"oh why are the boys there why is it woke" I'm projecting cherry-picked pieces of modernity I personally find palatable onto my imagined idyllic past that's what makes it imagined and idyllic dipshit
