Observation: I have never broken a bone Hypothesis: I am boneless Data: I appear to have broken at least two bones in my foot slipping on the ice Conclusion: I have at least two bones. Strong evidence suggests the possibility of a third one.
After a lot of consideration over AO3′s rating system, I’ve decided how I’m going to categorize my fics from now on:
G - no dicks. Just none. Well, maybe a small baby with a penis pisses on the person changing that baby’s diaper (oh the family friendly laughs!), but that’s it. We’re the better for it.
T - dicks are alluded to, perhaps even mentioned, especially in respect to angst over teenage masturbation (heavy heavy angst), however, we know no details. In most cases, we don’t want to because it’d be a little creepy.
M - dicks factor heavily, and we know in pretty specific detail how those dicks are being used, and the direct results. But selections from the full spectrum of dick-related details are, tastefully or tauntingly, left out.
E - we know this dick. We know its veins and contours and twitches better than we know the back of our own hands, the smiles on our mothers’ faces, or the smell of our childhood homes.
Challenge to writers: describe your characters (esp female ones) without ever describing their general attractiveness…none of: cute, sexy, beautiful/gorgeous/ugly, appealing, etc. Instead, describe their features, and let the audience/other characters (through their interactions) make their own judgments about those features. Aside from being meatier (show, don’t tell), this may help you avoid stereotyping features as “pretty/ugly”–different people are attracted to different things, so why should your characters be different, right? Explore attractiveness of a wide variety of features, explore attractiveness as an opinion that some characters have and some don’t, explore attractiveness as something that isn’t just a convention everyone agrees on
So, I understand that this is kind of a tough topic and I’m sorry that the images are long.
Earlier today my younger sister overdosed and slit her wrists and is currently hospitalized. My mom was telling me on the phone how she responded, and while her intentions were good, she didn’t really know what to do. It’s not my sister’s first attempt, and at this point, everyone in our fairly large household needs to be educated on what to do. I did some research online and made a little booklet for them.
The images above are just a starting point, but they’re formatted so the most important info is obvious. They’re designed to be printed and kept somewhere handy so you don’t have to try and google things in a crisis. I encourage anyone who might be at risk or spending time with someone who is at risk for the above things to read, print, and keep those pages.
Also, if anyone has advice about dealing with the above or other related issues, please feel free to message me. If I listed anything incorrectly, please let me know.
Reference regarding tourniquets: they ARE a last resort because of their potential for tissue damage, BUT if someone is bleeding bright, bright red, or the blood is spurting with any sort of rhythm (both signs of a severed artery), or the bleeding doesn’t slow after direct application of firm pressure (like, your arm should be sore or you’re not pressing hard enough), a tourniquet may be their best bet for survival. They are not pleasant to apply or to endure, and yes, they carry the risk of major damage to tissue and blood vessels if left on for multiple hours (hate to say it, but if you’re that far from a major hospital, your chances decrease drastically regardless) but Life Over Limb is a good concept to adhere to in such situations. If anyone wants direct tips on tourniquet application, feel free to message me.
i just received a text from my best friend that said “so i think i’m gay” out of literally nowhere
so i’m like “dude sweet for real just like suddenly you realized or?”
and she says “well i pretty much just had sex with a girl so”
AND THEN DOESN’T ANSWER ME FOR AN HOUR
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT AND THEN NOT EXPLAIN IT AT ALL
update: she couldn’t answer me because was still banging the girl
I wish this wasn’t so glaringly fake cause it would be kinda funny if it were real but its not real so its not funny and I’m being redundant for the purpose of conveying shut the fuck up and don’t make up bullshit for notes
i just scrolled back three months into a conversation to prove you wrong lmao bye bitch get off my fucking post
