[ID: Screenshot of a tumblr post by user Steelphoto that reads “What News Story Are They Burying?

Reminder that if a billionaire CEO does something outrageous in the news, this should always be your first question. 

Today that news story is that Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, is blocking all news content in Canada for Facebook and Instagram due to a new law requiring compensation to news publishers. Facebook is using its vast resources to apply public pressure to stop the laws of a foreign government and protect its profit margins. And they are getting sued by Malaysia.” End ID.]

This is how I play old video games now.

SotN seems like a great case for testing those settings, because the single red pixel on his eyes was meant to "bleed" on a CRT:

This and the Sonic 2 Aquatic Ruins waterfalls are probably the quickest/easiest tests for CRT shaders.

i swear to god i regret reblogging that estrolabs post because absolutely no one is focusing on the actual issue, which is that it's a phishing site very clearly run by malicious people and giving them any information on yourself could fuck you over big time

their ashwaganda "estrogen replacement" would be useless at best and extremely dangerous at worst, if it actually existed. however the products on that site almost certainly do not fucking exist and never have, and they have zero intention of actually producing them. the listings for the "supplements" aren't on the site anymore.

when scams like this pop up suddenly, they're not legitimate to even the slightest degree. there was never a real product, they were trying to get your money or your card and contact information either to doxx you, harass you, or literally steal from you. it's a PHISHING scheme, not a "making a shitty product to Literally Kill People" scheme. one of these things is far cheaper and far easier for a layperson to do.

while the information on the function of ashwaganda was definitely useful generally, it was/is not the most present danger of this estrolabs/queerquirk situation and people need to be aware of the actual threat these kinds of sites and situations pose.

as i was writing this estrolabs has been taken down, but queerquirk is still up and still advertising it's fake products and has a contact us page. do not give them your contact information, even to send hate. it is not worth getting phished to epicly own the dumbass behind this scheme. report the site and move on.

Confirming that the Queerquirk site is still up and running, but currently the Shopify store there has no content and is only displaying a “give us your email and we’ll let you know when we’re open” field. (Which you obviously SHOULD NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.)

…Reporting the store to Shopify would make sense, for anyone who’s got screenshots of the earlier contents.

‪GOD I found another article about why ADHD kids say “I don’t know” so much. my entire childhood was getting yelled at for doing some ADHD shit and me not being able to offer an explanation when asked why I did something. ‬

Adding to this, its cause of our executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation (naturally there’s more things at play than just these two but I’m naming main aspects).

We tend to have alexithymia, meaning we have difficulty identifying and describing own feelings. 

You can’t say how you feel if you legit don’t know.

Self monitoring is an executive function; our self awareness about how we are doing presently .. which is hampered in ADHDers

You can’t say what you think if you legit don’t know.

Of fucking course there’s a word for it.

Also,

Of fucking course it’s because of ADHD.

That text is from the book “Driven to Distraction” by Edward M Hallowell M.D. and John J. Ratey M.D.

Has some amazing case studies on ADHD, and is a very cathartic read for someone diagnosed as an adult.

Thank you so much for adding a source to this! In general any book by M.D. Hallowell or by Dr. Russell Barkley is a sound bet for a good book on adhd that’s incredibly validating!

adhd i don't know alexithymia executive dysfunction me i do wonder a lot nowadays if i actually have adhd because i relate a little bit too much to the experiences of my adhd friends the only thing really giving me pause is that i wasn't like this as a child as far as i'm aware anyway tags mental health

"poor people are happier with less" and "money won't buy happiness" is literally classist propaganda. stop buying into it and start making molotov cocktails

“money won’t make you happy” well i’d be a lot happier if i knew a medical bill wouldn’t send me into financial ruin
