people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
Hello, guys. I know I haven't been active in this blog for some time, but I guess I just needed to write about this and I'm not sure where else to do it.
As some of you know, I live in Venezuela. For the last hour or so bombs have been falling over my city, Caracas. Some people say it's a coup d'etat, others that it's the US military. We are not yet sure what is happening.
A bomb fell over La Carlota, a military air base a few blocks away from my apartment. We can still see the smoke through the window. As I understand, bombs have also fallen on "strategic places" like Fuerte Tiuna and Miraflores.
The neighbors are speaking about leaving but me and my parents haven't decided what we are going to do. We don't really have a place to go. I'll keep you updated if I can. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Looks a safe distance away especially if 'meticulously executed' 😊 may I suggest you just chill and enjoy the scenery? Looks like you have awesome views where you live 🤩
A few blocks away is not a safe distance from a bomb. You're a political fanatic with an impaired sense of empathy and should probably seek professional help. Beware of this sort of people.
me (younger, more naive): why don't these characters just TALK to each other and explain how they feel and COMMUNICATE
me (older, wiser): why are these characters talking in fucking therapyspeak

Imagine how this OP will feel knowing Maduro has been removed? He’ll be free ! Free to travel to the USA and protest what a Nazi Trump is… ulibtards, amazing.
Shut the fuck up
The US is bombing my home country Venezuela.
Venezuela has been in a dictatorship as long as I have been alive. Since 1998. My parents are happy about a coup and hope Maduro dies or gets arrested, which yes. Fuck Maduro, fuck Chavismo. But I've read way too much about the history of US dipping their hands into South America, installing puppet states, fucking everything up and this is not a win. Even if Maduro dies or gets arrested, the US just wants the country's resources, they are not magically going to fix everything, there is a corrupt reason for this to be happening that is yet to unfold and I'm so tired. Fuck Trump.
I wish I could find better words to explain this to non-venezuelans, or Venezuelans of an older generation who are just tired of failed "socialism" and beelined straight to far right borderline extremism as if that was better. For now my family back home is safe and I wish every person in Caracas the same.
Hey, guys! Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Everything is calmer now in Caracas. It seems Maduro was apprehended, but everything is extremely fishy. It all happened way too quickly. I don't believe for a second the official statements from neither the US nor our own government. My guess is Maduro made a deal and surrendered willingly, and he might've known this was going to happen for some time.
Currently, the vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the minister of defense, Vladimir Padrino López, seem to be trying to seize power. So it's not over yet. People keep telling me things will calm down now that Maduro is out of the country, but I fear his supporters don't want to surrender. They are demanding for Maduro to be released and seem to be preparing for war. I doubt they have the weapons or manpower to actually stand up to the US, but I'm honestly not sure what will happen...

how do i explain that crowley is hot AND beautiful AND pathetic AND terrifying AND a little bitch all at once. like how does he do that. how does he make me wanna ride him into next week and swaddle him in a blanket like a baby bird. he confuses me so much
LOOK AT THAT TWINK FOLLOWING AZIRAPHALE LIKE A LOST PUPPY HE MAKES ME ILL
(its 2:20am I have had an incredibly shit few days and the crowley brainrot is beating me senseless...welcome to the end times (levis cursed crowley brain))
"wahh i only like enemies to lovers if it's gay bc i don't want men to be mean to women" what about a woman doing heinous shit to a man and that man (who also sucks) being pathetically psychosexually obsessed with her. you people have no fucking vision. if you were willing to read & write women doing actual wrongs this wouldn't be a problem. let that female character commit atrocities with the sole goal of ruining one guy's life while they have weird sexual tension about it
Tbh, I think enemies to lovers is great for pairings of any sexuality. Personally, I prefer it if the violence/hatred is relegated strictly to the enemies part, though. If it bleeds into the lovers phase it feels too much like abuse to me, even when it's mutual. It's just a trope I do not enjoy, unless it's done under very specific circumstances. For example, if we are not actually supposed to root for the main pairing and it's actually a cautionary tale. I'd also rather they didn't do things that are too heinous at any point, like sexual assault or idk, torture that goes too far. I think that's unforgivable and would make me hate the perpetrator. But as I said it's a personal preference.
It's always funny to me when people give their blorbos all the same "correct" far left political views which while I understand the urge to make these blorbos as progressive as possible as political commentary, there are some characters that I feel in my bones are 100% centrist, pro-ai, pro-capitalism or absolutely refuse to vote and its supported by the source material. As a narrative tool these features are still great for being political commentary, even if the character never changes.
when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever
Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.
Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.
Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.
Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.
Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.
Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.
