'kids these days are weirdly scrupulous for no reason'. WRONG not for no reason. grew up on increasingly de-anonymized internet, being available to everyone all the time, data tracked, google sees all, digital panopticon, etc. less and less space to explore and form own opinions without judgment from broad public audience. lack of privacy can be deeply traumatic and cause intense paranoia, obsession with thought crimes, morality, etc. not good.

Yeah, and they’re entering a job market where employers will do thorough checks of your online presence and, like, when I finished school/undergrad, 5-10 years ago, the advice from hiring managers was, like, “don’t have photos of yourself passed out in a gutter on a night out on your public instagram*”, but now I’m hearing things like “don’t have pictures of yourself in bloody make-up on Halloween” like you’re expected to run every ounce of your online presence (which is increasingly a major part of your social presence) like it’s your LinkedIn profile
*To stress, I also don’t think employers should be holding anything on social media against you, but, like, not posting photos from after a night out got out of hand is a much smaller ask than never posting a photo of myself with a drink in hand or out of professional attire

rick riordan off the shits
rick riordan made his bones with pretty vanilla YA fantasy and then when he was too successful to stop hit em with the Muslim valkyries and the genderfluid homeless teenagers
Rick Riordan’s “vanilla YA fantasy” series was written for his son with ADHD and dyslexia because there weren’t any books about kids with learning disorders. He “made his bones” on representation, you just didn’t notice because disabled people don’t count.
Slammed that

man i wish diagnosis fixed this
the adults in my life knew i had adhd. they suspected autism too, but the point is my diagnosis was given at the ripe old age of seven.
they still pulled this shit. constantly. repeatedly. because the only symptoms that mattered were the ones that impacted my school performance. even when my pains were textbook overstimulation or impaired emotional regulation, they either didn't recognize them or didn't care.
because the only thing more heritable than adhd is height. because my parents were so used to seeing the world through that same pain, they'd stopped recognizing it a long time ago.
the only actual fix for this is for the adults in a child's life to put their fucking backs into rejecting their own ableism in all its forms. into educating themselves on what the child in their care is experiencing, all of it, not just the bits that matter for standardized testing. into being compassionate for fucks sake, and modeling that compassion for a kid who's still learning how to be a human person.

I think my problem at the minute is that I really like stories where a group of people come together to overcome adversity and make their community a better place
And I really don’t like stories where there’s no adversity and a group of friends chilling just luck into good things happening
And both of these things keep being bundled together under the label of “cosy” in games and books, and I keep getting recommended the latter on the basis of liking the former

No media representation, of any group, will ever be perfect. No group is a monolith. No group has homogeneous experiences. There will always be someone in your demographic who disagrees with you about what "good representation" really is, there will always be someone who fits the stereotypical representation, there will always be growth and change in what is considered appropriate vs. offensive.
The quest for truly perfect representation is doomed to failure, and your energy is better put into uplifting the media you connect with and love, instead of trying to police the media you hate.

Just a warning for tonight’s Game Changer: if you have any kind of auditory processing issues, you may need the subtitles for the back half of the episode.
Edit: actually, earlier too, depending on what specific issues you have. If your issues are about following disjointed utterances, probably earlier. If they’re more about audio distortion and levels then probably later.
I'll add on that if you have issues with glitch effects or unreality, you may want to be careful. the latter isn't as bad as something like an arg or something because they do acknowledge it not being real, but the former i definitely struggled with. i think it's worth it though!

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.
This is because everything in my life requires work:
- maintaining friendships
- keeping up with my hygiene
- managing bills
- making money
- remembering my basic needs
- sleeping regularly
- outputting creatively
All requires some aspect of work for me.
And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.
If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.
If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.
You're not dysfunctional.
You're not incapable.
You're doing your best.

“Yeah, I think this advice is pretty universal across cultural lines…” is a thing I have heard way too many people say before immediately advising something that would come across as extremely rude in half a dozen countries I could think of just off the top of my head
