It took me so long to get my own ass to therapy. Today I present you my reasons why and therefore speed up your own decision process:
Take care
One of the lies Depression tells us is that going to therapy won’t make a difference, or we’ll be bothering the therapist, or the therapist will judge us.
This is when I need to remind myself, my Depression, and anyone who is listening that THERAPISTS EXIST BECAUSE THEY HAVE LITERALLY DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO HELPING PEOPLE LIKE ME GET BETTER.
Say it again, say it louder: A THERAPIST IS NOT GOING TO JUDGE YOU OR MOCK YOU OR LAUGH AT YOU OR TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE CRAZY. A THERAPIST IS GOING TO USE ALL THE YEARS OF STUDY AND PRACTICE THEY HAVE TO HELP YOU.
You aren’t a burden. You aren’t unreasonable. You aren’t the only person, or the first person, to feel the things you are feeling. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to live your best life. A therapist has dedicated their life to helping you do that.
Okay, that was a lot of ALL CAPS stuff, but it’s important.
Samsung has released today an AI mode, which can make facial animations from single pictures, including paintings.
Oh my god
Good news everyone! Samsung’s AI can fabricate videos of you saying whatever from a single picture!
This isn’t a dinosaur fossil; it’s a mummy.

Scientists think the 110 million-year-old nodosaur was swept to sea by a flooding river, sank, landed on its back, and was pressed into the ocean floor.


It’s so well-preserved that it still has intestines and weighs 2,500 of its original 3,000 lbs.
There are few human emotions as primal and powerful as fear. Master horror writer H.P. Lovecraft put it best when he wrote, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”.
If you’re a writer wanting to master the craft of writing a horror story, here are a few tips to access your reader’s most primal fears. It’s the best way to keep them turning pages. This video about writing horror advice also covers these same points, along with practical tips to help you in the writing process.
“All books, everywhere, affect all other books. This is obvious: books inspire other books written in the future, and cite books written in the past. But the General Theory of L-Space suggests that, in that case, the contents of books as yet unwritten can be deduced from books now in existence.”
- Terry Pratchett - Lords and Ladies
oh this is a life saver
So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO: if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive. Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.
Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.
I don’t think of myself as a cook at all, but I looked through this list and was like “if you have [center] and [any item on a surrounding ring] how do you sit there thinking you’ve got nothing to eat?” Like, I buy a fair amount of staples knowing that I’ll be able to quickly assemble them into something tasty if I’m hungry and don’t have anything instant (or in a leftovers container because I made it earlier in the week specifically to eat for a week): butter, cheese, noodles, and more.
It still impresses people how I can go into random kitchens with no food in them and emerge with Filling Snacks for Five People. This is the secret: knowing how to assemble Cupboard Meals. And these charts are incredibly well-laid-out too!
Adding butter and some of the pasta water to the pasta + parmesan + black pepper combo will also give you a simple alfredo.
