One of the truest things Iā€™ve ever heard is that people who say theyā€™reĀ ā€œbrutally honestā€ are more interested in the brutality than the honesty.

How can Lucas be so happy to be with Eliott but then still have so much internalised homophobia?Ā  (I mean, I know how.Ā  I get it.)

Side note - his eyelashes are gorgeous and long and beautiful.

Iā€™ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.

This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

I give you wholesome warmth for your heart today.

you know whatā€™s probably more fun than playing chess? cheating at chess

ā€œohhh would you look at that, my pawns found jesus and now theyā€™re all bishopsā€

ā€œso i realize it looks like iā€™m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one thatā€™s better, stronger, fasterā€”ā€

ā€œhey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces youā€™d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.ā€

ā€œoof, looks like youā€™ve got my king corneredā€¦maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!ā€

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and thatā€™s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible.Ā as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

itā€™s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchbackĀ because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire worldā€™s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. itā€™s not a terrorist attack, itā€™s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

itā€™s not the end.

Hey so, French person here. And also an ex History student. Iā€™m here to say: Please listen to o.p. above.

Obviously everyone is shocked but hereā€™s a few important key facts:

  • The roof is completely gone. Part of it dated back from the 13th century but the rest was from the 19th. The stone arch roof under the top roof is fine.
  • One of the three main stained glass rose windows has fallen out. Most of the other stained glass windows are okay.
  • The spire has fallen down and thatā€™s the saddest part. BUT! It was in the process of being restored and the 16 statues that were there were removed just four days ago! So theyā€™re fine.
  • The main structure is still here and nothing has ā€œburned downā€ unlike what some people have been saying.
  • The ā€œtreasureā€ (sacred objects) is safe.

Notre Dame is still there. Itā€™s just damaged. Almost nothing was lost today, and nobody was wounded either. Itā€™s scary, but itā€™s gonna be okay.

ā€˜am i Having A Brain Problem or Being a Shitheadā€™: a short procrastination checklist

aka why tf am i procrastinating on The ThingĀ (more like a flowchart, actually)

lots of people who have executive function difficulties worry about whether theyā€™re procrastinating on a task out of laziness/simply wanting to be a jerk or mental struggles. this checklist might help you figure out which it is at any given time! (hint: itā€™s almost never laziness or being a jerk.)Ā (obligatory disclaimer: this is just what works for me! something different might work better for you.)

1) do I honestly intend to start the task despite my lack of success?

  • yes: itā€™s a Brain Problem. next question
  • no: itā€™s shitty to say one thing & do another. better be honest with myself & anyone expecting me to do the task.

2) am I fed, watered, well-rested, medicated properly, etc?

  • yes: next question
  • no: guess what? this is the real next task

3) does the idea of starting the task make me feel scared or anxious?

  • yes: Anxiety Brain. identify whatā€™s scaring me first.
  • no: next question

4) do I know how to start the task?

  • yes: next question
  • no: ADHD Brain. time to make an order of operations list.

5) do I have everything I need to start the task?

  • yes: next question
  • no: ADHD Brain lying to me about the steps again, dangit. first task is ā€˜gather the materialsā€™.

6) why am i having a hard time switching from my current task to this new task?

  • iā€™m having fun doing what iā€™m doing: itā€™s okay to have fun doing a thing! if task is time-sensitive, go to next question.
  • i have to finish doing what iā€™m doing: might be ADHD brain. can I actually finish the current task or will I get trapped in a cycle? does this task really need to be finished?
  • the next task will be boring/boring-er than the current task: ADHD brain. re-think the next task. what would make it exciting? what am I looking forward to?
  • I might not have enough time to complete the task: ADHD brain wants to finish everything it starts. (if task is time-sensitive, go to next question)
  • i just want to make the person who asked me to do it angry: sounds like anxiety brain trying to punish itself, because I know Iā€™ll be miserable if someone is angry at me. why do i think I deserve punishment?
  • no, I seriously want to piss them off: okay, iā€™m being a shithead

7) have I already procrastinated so badly that I now cannot finish the task in time?

  • yes: ADHD brain is probably caught in a guilt-perfection cycle. since I canā€™t have the task done on time, i donā€™t even want to start.

reality check: having part of a thing done is almost always better than none of a thing done. if I can get an extension, having part of it done will help me keep from stalling out until the extension deadline. iā€™ll feel better if I at least try to finish it.

  • no, thereā€™s still a chance to finish on time: ADHD brain thinks that I have all the time in the world, but the truth is I donā€™t.Ā 

reality check: if iā€™m having fun doing what Iā€™m doing, I can keep doing it, but I should probably set a timer & ask someone to check on me to make sure I start doing the task later today.

8) Iā€™ve completed the checklist and still donā€™t know whatā€™s wrong!

  • probably wasnā€™t honest enough with myself. take one more look.
  • if Iā€™m still mystified, ask a friend to help me talk it out.

hope this helps some of you! YOUā€™RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE DONā€™T GIVE UP ON YOU
