If you know about the protests happening locally, you might reach out to the protest organizers and ask if there’s 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 don’t like being in altered states that I can’t just choose to come out of, I‘ve gotten very anxious the few times I’ve been anywhere close to drunk as well), otherwise it might have just felt like adhd + dissociation
comment in response to post
Haha, that sounds familiar! The one and only time I’ve been stoned, it felt like dissociation + anxiety, while turning up adhd symptoms to 11. (I get that it’s super helpful for plenty of people, but… I didn’t 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! I’ve been tinkering with this a bit more lately. Time consuming on the front end but I guess it’s not *that* much different from setting up fb filters.

whereas at least I’ve 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 I’ll see in my secular peers, fandoms, movements, activism, etc a lot of the baggage/cognitive artifacts/morality that I’m familiar with from the S. Baptist & “non-denom” churches I grew up in. but they’re usually resistant to the idea that it could be Christianized baggage worth unpacking.
comment in response to post
(At least if you left a religion, you know there’s something to deconstruct, and you have something concrete to tackle — vs just being influenced by the same ideas culturally, vaguely, unknowingly. Problems of how Christianity’s built into so many aspects of, say, u.s. society. Inescapable.)
comment in response to post
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
comment in response to post
A big part of it is that there’s 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. “The most loving thing you can do is convince someone that you’re right about your religion.”

has anyone ever counted how many times Gawain quested for Lancelot in the Vulgate? I feel like it was a Lot. I’m gonna have to take a tally as I do this reread

oh forgot to elaborate on grumpy/sunshine: I just like more angst, tension, seriousness. I mostly see ‘grumpy/sunshine’ tag accompanied by ‘fluff’ tag. Would be open to it under the right circumstances (eg: not ‘fluff’)
comment in response to post
Other elaborations because the adhd won’t be contained: - fake dating: variable, can be higher if it’s a high-stakes, high-concept premise - second chance: highly variable, depends on characters and the circumstances of 1st time’s ending - mpreg: I’m tokophobic, all pregnancy is -5/10 squick hell
comment in response to post
Elaborating on age gap: - 0/10 if it’s the focus, intended appeal, or meant as a kink. Just not my kink, unless… - 10/10 if it’s an immortal/long life entity + mortal. Such interesting mythic dynamics to explore. - 5/10 or neutral if it’s just an incidental age gap between adult characters

That’s why Dreamwidth exists! It’s been a rather well done LiveJournal replacement.

I think ‘soft quitting’ is ‘disillusionment’ or ‘burnout’ based on the article excerpt someone shared in the thread somewhere. yaaay

(I also have Many Thoughts about the possibly underlying unexamined ethnocentrism [and possibly even xenophobia] beneath the anti-high-context-communication bias but thaaaat’s another can of worms)
comment in response to post
YES EXACTLY ugh this is my pet peeve. and no matter how many times and ways I try to explain it to people who’ve only lived low context, they *don’t get it.*
comment in response to post
I’m really hoping he becomes the assistant/beta rooster for the flock. Always envious of other people’s stories; Gumbo (flock roo) hasn’t accepted our other rooster chicks so they all live in a bachelor flock (they weren’t 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!

(saaaame! and also difficulties with going to sleep. :D but I hadn't known about the pokemon app, *or* the gloves idea, that's brilliant)

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:
