okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

kim kitsuragi hades style…

i liked both

“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

since this is on my dash again another two steps, a little harder this time

“who do i hurt when i do this?” and “could i look them in the eye, validate and acknowledge that hurt, and then keep doing it anyway?”

feels like a good day for another two.

“whose voice is missing from this story” and then “how do i seek out those voices/how does a story i think i know change when i add new perspectives”

psa to everyone on antipsychotics during the summertime

some antipsychotics can make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion because they make it so your body cannot regulate your body temperature correctly. I learned this the hard way last summer, I got really nasty heat exhaustion while on a high dose of quetiapine. so check if your meds react badly to heat, and if they do, please be sure to wear your sunscreen, have light cover ups on or with you, wear a hat, and stay hydrated! be safe

especially duloxetine and clozapine, know the signs of dehydration, take cooling breaks if you have to be in the sun

duloxetine is commonly branded in the USA as Cymbalta.

Note: many anti-bipolar meds are also antipsychotics. I found a list of psychotropic meds that can increase risk of heat exhaustion here:

Can personally confirm that Latuda/Lurasidone can also mess with your heat response and lead to heat exhaustion if you aren’t careful, like I wasn’t.

[ID: Screenshot of a page with two columns listing trade names beside generic names of medications; the columns have been compiled into a list for ease of comprehension/reading.

Common psychotropic medications that may impair the heat response:

Moisturize me

“I don’t know what my goals are, no. Thanks for asking.”

the neopets april fools joke is mildly unhinged

a weighted blanket is not enough please compress me into a .zip file

Sauce :

2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce 1 Tbsp shaoxing wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 inch grated ginger 1 minced garlic clove 1/2 Tbsp sugar

you're welcome.

Bonus tip : you can add an egg (or more) to make hard boiled eggs at the same time (to eat now or later)

Bonus tip #2 : you can cook half rice, half quinoa/small green lentils (takes the same time)

I'm making this right now (rice cooker is on) with frozen veg because that's what I had, don't know if it will work but holy shit it smells amazing

dear newly-out trans girl: you need to wear yr skirt up on yr waist, not on yr hips. trust me on this one

Dear newly-out trans girl: your waist is NOT where you thought it was, and it is actually 1-3 (estimate) inches (2.6-7.6 cm) above your belly button. The thing you thought was your waist (because that’s where your pants’ waistbands go) is indeed your hips

best foolproof tip I have for finding your natural waist (as someone who sews and has covered lots of ways to measure it), is to bend side to side, the middle of where you hinge from is your natural waist.

This is also useful for online shopping because you are probably not measuring the part they are expecting you to, which can throw off sizing

diagram to visually demonstrate what I mean. I find this a better explanation than saying "the narrowest part of your waist" because that is not always easy to visually see on all people for all manner of reasons.

Theres also a difference between "natural waist" (see above) and "wearing waist" which can be a few inches lower than that natural waist, but knowing the general area that most womens clothes are expecting you to wear them can help with any fit issues and if its just placement or if you need to go up/down a size.
