I think a lot of fantasy fans, especially, white ones talking about BIPOC cultures, approach culture research from a pre-conceived notion of it or a pre-determined goal and then refuse to acknowledge they were wrong because it's an indictment of themselves, especially if they think they're an ally.

afaik it isn't confirmed that SNAP is getting cut in november but there has been news of the potential due to the gov. shutdown. if u or loved ones rely on snap, i implore you to take advantage of programs like this!! local food pantries & soup kitchens too!!

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

also: sleep apnea. it's not just snoring. PLEASE get tested for it! so many of my friends lately have been diagnosed and getting a cpap has CHANGED THEIR LIVES.

enforcing HOW or WHEN i sleep; because it's not just about whether or not we're being forced to sleep certain ways, it's a severe lack of education in how to sleep effectively AT ALL, ESPECIALLY if you have any neurodivergences, sleep conditions, fatigue conditions (one of the reasons i get between

nightowl (4am+ to 2pm+) to someone who goes to bed around 10-12pm and wake up around 8-10am, because i WANTED to be a more daytime person so i could spend more time with my family. i genuinely sleep better in the last year or so than i ever have in my entire life, even when no one was
