UHC website has an article entitled "Response to Misinformation" in which it explicitly labels Luigi as a killer despite a trial not taking place. Which in itself is defamation and very telling of their concerns with pushing a narrative more than a legal and ethical perspective.
cries its so beautiful
Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.
this is amazing.
I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character
im down
Adult winx club fans should just find a place of completely forgotten land, pay for it together and build a bunch of tiny houses that are exact replicas of the dorm rooms in Winx Club and have parties and fashion shows and also maybe start a band or something
this is a controversial opinion and I’m not a gamer but I don’t need my graphics to be that good. I don’t need to see every individual feather on a bird. my poor computer doesn’t deserve to carry that weight either.
the levels of brain fog i am experiencing i might as well be in fucking silent hill
'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now
THIS THANK YOU.
I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrapers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.
i feel like rewording these in some situations could be helpful.
the way that these are often phrased makes them automatically worded negatively: “still” “un-employed” “doesnt” “didnt” it all assists in the effect of the insult, when none of these things are inherently negative or wrong.
this isnt to say you should have to reword these facts. but you can, if you want to start re-scripting the way people see your life, possibly including yourself.
saying just, “i live with my family.” instead of “still” implies it as more of a statement than a complaint. also saying “family” instead of “parents” may help in some situations as it puts you all on the same level, saying parents makes some people think you are being childish, when in fact you are all adults.
when it comes to “unemployed.” its a bit tricky. if you are searching for work, you can easily just switch it out for “im searching for employment.” or if you are studying instead say that. but if you are like me - where neither of the above apply, you can try things like “im working on my health.” or “im trying to discover my passions.” etc.
“doesnt have …” or “didnt do …” can easily be changed to “i chose my health” “i chose a different path” or “it wasnt right for me.” these are all options to switch it from something you failed at, to the thing that you prioritised or can do instead.
Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.
i really want to reapproach the way i see success.
i think ive slowly been doing it for a few years now, but theres definitely more i can do.
i always think of it in the grand life goal kind of way.
but it doesnt need to be that..
and for me, i really wanna see if i can find things in my day-to-day life that are, a success.
did i put myself out of my comfort zone that day trying something new?
did i take a deep breath and calm my thoughts before getting frustrated at somebody?
did i show care to myself even when i felt unworthy of life?
did i do anything where if i was reading a book about me. would i be proud of the bee on that page?
because the answer is probably yes most days. but im not treating myself as if thats the case.
im so harsh to myself and i know this. i give grace to others where i would never for myself.
i just want to treat myself gently.
so cheers to small successes, the steps forward even when theres also steps backward..
and to not just treating others the way we want to be treated, but treating ourselves that way too.
today i got triggered, and i took care of myself.
i made all the healthy choices, and then i felt better.
and for that im really proud of myself.
i had the same experience when i had to use the elevators.
alright lets get this out of the way.
school bathrooms should be unlocked during school ALWAYS
school children should be allowed to go to the bathroom ALWAYS
school children should NEVER have to ask to go to the bathroom, just tell the teacher that they need to go
schools should NEVER question a child on why they need the bathroom
schools should NEVER make jokes about how often a child uses the bathroom
schools should NEVER get angry at children for using the bathroom
NEVER should a teacher approach a child about their bathroom usage.
if there is a concern or problem with a childs use of the bathrooms, the school should speak to their parent or have a meeting involving the parents and the principle.
if there is misuse of the bathrooms, the school should speak to their parent or have a meeting involving the parents and the principle.
you never know what children could be dealing with, whether they have bladder issues, gi issues, mental health issues or other disabilities. some children may be using the bathroom to hide from bullies, or they may have addiction issues.
it doesnt matter. its shouldnt be the teachers job to police toilet usage. only when there is an issue should limits or supervision be put in place, AFTER meeting with their parents and potentially the student to figure out the reasons for such issues.
i know this is really controversial but im really sick of horror stories from kids like me who dealt with the shit that is school bathrooms
just got a second hand babydoll dress i am WINNING.
I love how sleep advice is all like "make sure you only use your bed for sleep and sex" as if I've got anywhere else to fucking spend my day
“my songs” are songs where you go “this song is for me it is mine.”
people can have the same “my songs” that doesn’t make them any less yours, they’re just also someone else’s mine.
its just songs that get you on another level, songs that represent you!
its okay to mourn.
its okay to mourn the childhood you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the career you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the children you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the education you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the friendships and social life you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the hobbies you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the travel you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the life you could’ve had.
nobody gets to tell you that you need to cheer up.

Can someone explain to me why a big franchise such as Winx Club can't offer a proper mobile game? All of the existing ones are abandoned.
Like, guys, make a MMORPG where we can create our own fairy, witch or specialist, create our gang and go on classes and adventures. But a real game, with spells, fights & cie.
the level of censorship around this man is ridiculous, what happened to free speech? It’s just his name.
i just wanted to say you're not gross if you deal with gastrointestinal issues. even if people treat your symptoms and disorders like they're disgusting, they're not. they're genuine health problems- health includes your entire body. if you are having issues digesting/processing foods, eating, controlling your bowels or having diarrhea or constipation issues or frequent gas and bloating, you're not gross. if you need a colostomy bag, you're not gross. if you need to use diapers you're not gross. if you frequently vomit you're not gross. if you deal with acid reflux and chronic heartburn you're not gross.
people and even doctors will treat people with these kinds of issues like we're disgusting but we're just people with health issues. a GI issue is no less worthy of attention than a broken bone. it doesn't matter where it's located in the body you still need help with it. there are many issues people can have with digestion that aren't necessarily "gross" and they don't deserve to be looked down on. you deserve care and respect from everyone in your life. you don't deserve to be treated like your health problems don't matter
i have so many images in my head of what i want the winx girlies to look like for my redesigns but when i try put it to paper it just disappears idk whyyy
YES THANK YOU
tecna lacks so much appreciation she is a QUEEN.
the thing about characters like tecna is that people will often think they are strictly one-dimensional and lack nuance. that they only breathe complex facts and figures. that they are only funny when they are not trying to be funny. but tecna turns that notion on its head by being so emotional and so accepting of her emotional landscape once she reconciles her inner conflicts, and at times, by not being very rational. while tecna can be awkward at times and miss a social cue or two, she can also be intentionally hilarious and sharp through her spirited and bold remarks; do not forget the way she sassed riven in the minotaur episode or the way she cleverly had the last word with the beta girls. point is, please do not pigeonhole tecna into a predefined box or a particular stereotype. she deserves so much more than that.
My chronic pain doctor suggested I exercise more
I asked him “how?”
He looked confused. Said I should try a bit every day
I said “not when, how?” I asked what exercises I should do
He suggested half a dozen options that had all been explicitly banned by other doctors. I’m not allowed to run. I’m not allowed to bike. I’m not allowed to use my rowing machine or my punching bag.
I walk my dog whenever I have the energy and when it doesn’t hurt too much
What else can I do?
He told me I should exercise more
And then he changed the subject.
