Everyone who works with him talks about what a mensch he is, so, like... that scans.

tomthefanboy

Yeah he plays a lot of really annoying characters because there's a market for it. But this all tracks of what I've heard about him behind the scenes.

I remember being shocked when people who'd worked with him said he was a really nice dude because from the content of his movies I'd just assumed he was the WORST kind of guy... but as loathe as I was to believe it, people who've worked with him keep saying it, so I'm forced to accept it lmao

There's a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it's one I've made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that's saying "if this were a physical illness, wouldn't you care?"

I've learned that no actually, people wouldn't care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it's actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.

If you're having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you're experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.

In the same respect people may be understanding when you've broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won't understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it's an entirely different story.

I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it's good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn't mean you can't be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn't. But we can't discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.

So let's be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.

I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"


TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE

digital-magus

Ok, unless something's going on I'm not aware of (extremely likely), I gotta point out the term "Pet Play" is significantly older than Tik Tok, or most of its userbase for that matter.

foone

Yeah, I'm not mad about using the term "pet play". That's a perfectly fine term. I'm mad because they didn't use that term: they used "pet p!ay", a censored version

digital-magus

Oh. Oh gawd I missed that. Objection withdrawn, that is objectively terrible.

To anybody who is new to posting on ao3, if you’re using a tag you have to use the correct spelling of that tag. People aren’t going to type in every version of a censored word to hide or look for your content 

emperorsfoot

For everyone new to tumblr, the same rule applies to tumblr too.

You cannot censor your tags! Censored tags cannot be block or filtered. Censoring tags HARMS your audience, it does not protect them

v-spicata asked:

I have a question. Out of all the amphibians you can think of, which have the most protuberant, goofy-looking, bug eyes?
Like, I know most frogs and toads have pretty bulging eyes but there's gotta one or two species that take that up to eleven?

Love your blog, it's a really nice mix of informative and fluffiness.

markscherz answered:

Oof, this is a tough one. Really had to give it some thought.

Purple frogs, Nasikabatrachus, have eyes that look like they have been glued onto a ball of clay:

But I feel like that’s not what you’re going for.

I think perhaps the most strikingly bulbous eyes belong to frogs of the genus Leptobrachium

These frogs have such huge heads—and then in those heads such huge eyes—that they really look like they were drawn by a cartoonist.

They are wonderful, thank you 💖


I am going to have come back to the Purple Frogs because my god, a face as beautiful as that needs a special effort.
