Yeah late-bloomer de-closeting sure is a hell of a thing

Why don't people hold this up more often as a bisexual's dream, I'm pretty sure a ton of closeted housewives in the 80s had all sorts of feelings and I know quite a few people who grew up on the show and were then like "oh"

This is not a controversial opinion, whether you're talking about Linda Hamilton or the character who launched a thousand monsterfuckers/furries (I think mostly monsterfuckers from what I hear though)

Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

today the timeline is even more full of art than usual, and that is such a better thing than it being full of The Bad, so I'll take that as a small win

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

Does it count as insomnia if it's caused by your legs, feet, and back hurting too much to sleep no matter what you do? Coping by cuddling Sophie, who is a very good girl

Sabin and Edgar read the newspaper. It says, "Vector Times - King Figaro shows true colors! Betrays Gestahl!"Setzer looks at a magazine. It's called Gestahlian Life magazine and has a picture of a smiling soldier with a smiling child on his shoulders and his smiling wife behind him. Cover advertises easy recipes, ideas for curfew, fun things to do inside, updated guide to civilian magic, fun magic exercises for kids, how to apply for magic infusionCyan and Gau walk by a large red billboard. It says Report Returners and three stylized men point. A starburst is right over Cyan's head.

I will never learn my lesson no matter how many times I do this, because I second-guess and doubt myself as a permanent state of being Meanwhile my doctor thinks I need to be reminded to doubt myself because clearly I am a hysterical hypochondriac Anyway I hate him a lot and I hate this so much

Lauren the Flute @laurentheflute.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I semi-regularly decide that I must be a hypochondriac and don't actually need my meds, it's all in my head and I need to stop making a big fuss about nothing Then I skip them and feel like shit, stand up and subconsciously fall right back down to avoid blacking out, lose the ability to sleep, etc

Three thousand years ago, a Greek potter looked at a bowl and thought: ‘You know what this needs? A leg!’ Clay bowl with leg-shaped handle!🦵😆 Early Geometric period 850 BC. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows an ancient Greek pottery bowl with a rounded, deep body, wide open mouth and flared rim. It has a large handle shaped like a human leg, extending from the left side of the bowl in my photo, bending at a right angle and ending in a flat foot. The bowl has a camel-coloured surface decorated with dark brown geometric patterns, which include zigzags and meander motifs arranged in horizontal bands around the body of the bowl and along the leg. From Attica, Early Geometric period, circa 850 BC. It sits on a light stone coloured surface in a display case at the Altes Museum in Berlin.

It doesn't sound like cait's situation is "new symptoms popping up that weren't there before" - she sounds like she's having precious symptoms resurface temporarily - but it CAN happen, psych meds are weird Source: happened to me, same meds that made me hiccup uncontrollably

Lauren the Flute @laurentheflute.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
It does actually happen and that's one way of knowing you're trying meds that are not the right fit for you! It's not just the "still depressed enough to want to, but now you have energy to try" problem; it can literally trigger ideation that wasn't there before (not all depression has ideation)

i used to hesitate addressing mat's trans-ness because i was worried about the backlash of having a trans male protagonist in a gay/BL story. but then i realized i don't ever want to cultivate an audience that hates trans people, hates me, and would hate my work. trans rights forever.
Art of my trans male character Mat shirtless in the background slightly faded with his back turned as he looks to the side solemnly in thought. In the foreground Mat is his kid pre transition princess self while his knight Emil hugs him and Mat cries with wide scared and sad eyes.Art of my trans male character Mat older and fully transitioned as he kneels and takes the hand of his kid pre transition princess self and kisses it gently. The piece is about self love and acceptance of his younger self. Instead of ignoring that part of him ever existed, he embraces where he came from and what it took to get to where he is now.

It's bad enough that for the past several years I've had insomnia due to my feet and legs inexplicably hurting when I'm in bed It seems like an unfair escalation to add whatever nerve pain is happening in my lower back/leg to all that 🙁 I'm not supposed to despair but I'm despairing!

And it makes me think of the very naive way that (mostly white) people think about policing, because kids' books show the nice cop helps you and the nice doctor heals you And it's even worse with cops because doctors are SUPPOSED to heal you, but cops aren't actually supposed to do anything good
