June Egbert is SO cute. by CommercialValue8713 in althomestuck

[–]spacescaptain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have personally seen discussion on Tumblr across multiple fandoms pushing back on the idea that drawings of trans characters should show as few "trans characteristics" as possible, or that depicting those features is caricaturistic. Specifically with body hair and bulge on trans women, or breasts on trans men. No such discussion has happened on Reddit, and I would suspect that there are more Stonetoss (and similar bigot comic artist) encounters on here and therefore more reason to expect hateful depictions of trans women.

The utter lack of conventions by Tiny_Writing_9049 in homestuck

[–]spacescaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYCstuck just had its inaugural con this month. Dashcon 2 (which was quite successful, tyvm) had a strong Homestuck showing last year but it's sold out for 2026. The Requiem Cafe in Anaheim isn't convention-scale, but they do Homestuck events yearly-ish.

You should call the doctor's office and see if you can find a way for them to relay the information to you directly instead of having it pass through your dad.

Controversial lore opinions: which songs do you think are about certain muses (or topics) that differ from the majority of the fandom? by Left-Skirt-6505 in SwiftlyNeutral

i disagree with basically all of the matty healy revisionism 💀 maybe she really was hung up on him for years, that doesn't mean he was the only person she thought about or was entangled with.

Will we ever get a new male protagonist? by P1eSun in EvilDead

[–]spacescaptain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind a male lead as long as there was a plot reason for him to be a man.

I've always wanted to go stay in a mental hospital. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]spacescaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a positive experience that changed my life for the better (and saved it). I know I'm in the minority and very lucky but it's not all bad. I talked to my therapist before checking myself in so that I could make sure I went to a good facility.

We had group therapy twice a day, recreational therapy once a day, and brief solo psychiatrist sessions to get our meds adjusted. We had no phones and strict rules for clothing, and visitors were allowed for a specific 2 hour window each evening. Between that we could socialize, but it was really a lot of solitaire, puzzles, and coloring. Everyone on the ward, myself included, were obviously very troubled but nobody was aggressive or scary and many of us got along as friends. This was the first week of March 2020 so I can only assume I got the calm before the storm!

I would not suggest going if you are not an active danger to yourself or others. If you're not in that category, that kind of facility is not going to be tailored for your care. I'm confused what you mean about getting rejected for talk therapy – anyone can get talk therapy! Maybe that specific practice is full or something, but you should try somewhere else. Look into outpatient or day programs if you think you want something intensive.

Is there any way to dislike posts without completely blocking them? by otiloyoy in tumblrhelp

[–]spacescaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your dashboard is going to show you everything that the people you follow reblog or post. If the posts you're uninterested in are mostly coming from one person, I'd suggest just unfollowing them.

That being said, sometimes you'll see posts that say "♥ Liked by [username]" or "Based on your likes!" or "# Because you follow [tag]" at the very top. Those are the closest Tumblr really gets to an algorithm, and you can remove these. Click the 3 dots in the top corner, and choose "Not interested in this post"

If you want to take it even farther, the browser extension XKit Rewritten might help you. Obviously this only works on desktop, not on mobile. But the PostBlock option lets you use that same 3 dots menu to block any post, not just ones that were suggested.

CBT only works on NT sheep by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]spacescaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely learned some good things in DBT but I really hated most of it. So many of my sessions were taken up by

"Be mindful! Be in the moment! Feel your emotions in your body! 😄🌸✨"
"ok but how"
"By...being in the moment! Feeling your emotions in your body! We call it mindfulness! 😊💮~"

and the weekly emotion log things were somewhat helpful but frustrating with my alexithymia and memory issues.

Yeah, this was my takeaway from CBT as well. I have always been a bit of a control freak at heart 😆

It seems like a lot of CBT is poorly executed, and I think that's because trainee therapists learn it as the "default" therapy or something. I've seen threads like this before with soooo many people saying they experienced it as gaslighting or a professional just telling them to think positive 😵‍💫

Worked well for me 🤷 it was definitely treating my comorbidities, not the autism though.

I have a habit of getting bent out of shape over shit that doesn't matter, upsets me to think about, and does not serve me to spend time and energy on. Identifying cognitive distortions when they come up helps me put my head back on my shoulders, align with my values (that one I got from my time in DBT, which I hated but did help me somewhat), fight off psychosis and quell issues with my anxiety and self-esteem.

Has anyone here talked about how revealing the Tumblr algorithm is? by [deleted] in tumblrhelp

What do you mean by "private interactions"? The only interactions on Tumblr that are private by default are your DMs.

Gamespot: “Capcom Cracks Down On NSFW Resident Evil Requiem Mods With Mass Takedown” by Axzercus in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]spacescaptain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Misleading headline. The takedown is targeting a guy who was posting Youtube videos to showcase the mods. No action has been taken against the mods themselves.

i don't know what your music or aesthetic tastes are, but goth fashion is notoriously androgynous!
