If you know about the protests happening locally, you might reach out to the protest organizers and ask if thereâs any other support that would be helpful? Include a list of your skills and the tasks you have capacity for, if possible.

I think the anxiety for me was because I was fighting the high (I donât like being in altered states that I canât just choose to come out of, Iâve gotten very anxious the few times Iâve been anywhere close to drunk as well), otherwise it might have just felt like adhd + dissociation

Haha, that sounds familiar! The one and only time Iâve been stoned, it felt like dissociation + anxiety, while turning up adhd symptoms to 11.
(I get that itâs super helpful for plenty of people, but⌠I didnât particularly enjoy it ^^)

Yeah this is what finally sold me on Mydei (I was on board with Phainon but I kept trying to find the complexity/nuance in Mydei, and this part finally unveiled it)

Ah yes, lists! Iâve been tinkering with this a bit more lately. Time consuming on the front end but I guess itâs not *that* much different from setting up fb filters.

whereas at least Iâve got something concrete and explicit to unpack and deconstruct. I have a whole childhood/adolescence of concrete lessons (anyone else go through the AWANA program at a really young age?). Easier to pick apart. Easier to admit and tackle, because I know where it comes from.

so Iâll see in my secular peers, fandoms, movements, activism, etc a lot of the baggage/cognitive artifacts/morality that Iâm familiar with from the S. Baptist & ânon-denomâ churches I grew up in. but theyâre usually resistant to the idea that it could be Christianized baggage worth unpacking.

(At least if you left a religion, you know thereâs something to deconstruct, and you have something concrete to tackle â vs just being influenced by the same ideas culturally, vaguely, unknowingly. Problems of how Christianityâs built into so many aspects of, say, u.s. society. Inescapable.)

I see this play out so much in Pagans who were raised Christian, too. Treating Teh Lore⢠like absolute immutable truth or a holy text instead of something more fluid. Retaining the dualistic thinking of Christianity. Replacing God with a Goddess or with multiple gods and imposing the same piety. Etc

A big part of it is that thereâs a certain brand of Christianity that instills in children starting at age 3-4 that the most virtuous thing to be is not kind, compassionate, or loving, but correct.
âThe most loving thing you can do is convince someone that youâre right about your religion.â

oh forgot to elaborate on grumpy/sunshine: I just like more angst, tension, seriousness. I mostly see âgrumpy/sunshineâ tag accompanied by âfluffâ tag. Would be open to it under the right circumstances (eg: not âfluffâ)

Other elaborations because the adhd wonât be contained:
- fake dating: variable, can be higher if itâs a high-stakes, high-concept premise
- second chance: highly variable, depends on characters and the circumstances of 1st timeâs ending
- mpreg: Iâm tokophobic, all pregnancy is -5/10 squick hell

Elaborating on age gap:
- 0/10 if itâs the focus, intended appeal, or meant as a kink. Just not my kink, unlessâŚ
- 10/10 if itâs an immortal/long life entity + mortal. Such interesting mythic dynamics to explore.
- 5/10 or neutral if itâs just an incidental age gap between adult characters

Thatâs why Dreamwidth exists! Itâs been a rather well done LiveJournal replacement.

I think âsoft quittingâ is âdisillusionmentâ or âburnoutâ based on the article excerpt someone shared in the thread somewhere. yaaay

YES EXACTLY ugh this is my pet peeve. and no matter how many times and ways I try to explain it to people whoâve only lived low context, they *donât get it.*

Iâm really hoping he becomes the assistant/beta rooster for the flock. Always envious of other peopleâs stories; Gumbo (flock roo) hasnât accepted our other rooster chicks so they all live in a bachelor flock (they werenât very gentlemanly, to be fair). This looks promising though.

"heating pad shoulder wrap" or "heating pad neck shoulder wrap electric" or "weighted heating pad wrap electric" should all give you some good options! I have this one but there are smaller/more targeted options www.amazon.com/dp/B08PNTKS24

what. this has legitimately been a major barrier for me, I have subluxed my wrists so many times trying to make my bed that I've had to ask other people in my household to do it. this might fix my problem!

Related: for the 2-day, I'm adding another PNPC to marshal duels. Offered my partner Taliesin or Fisher King. Xie chose Fisher King. As we plot out the character, I'm realizing it fixes some holes in the scenario version, too. Now I want to add Fisher King to the con larp version D:
