I wish you could kill processes in your brain like you can on a computer in order to save processing power. Pop open the task manager and kill “anxiety.msc.”
Thomas Primeau, a Conservator of Works of Art on Paper, has been working to stabilize the pigments in this “Book of Hours” from 15th century France. It is one of many illuminated manuscripts in our collection being digitized at the University of Pennsylvania in partnership with Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis, a medieval manuscript digitization project that will live online for the public to explore. Happy Book Lovers Day.
is one of my fav reaction images at the moment (It’s perfect for time travel shows or cringe-worthy historical moments/facts)
And I like it so much that I spent 3 hours(10pm-1am because that’s the only time I can art apparently) making a variation that might fix a better situation:
I can’t even describe how fast I did the coding convert-y thing for this, my dudes. And like lolololol what even are titles, who cares, just shove something in the box and hit “post”, amirite? XDDDD
“Well,” Ed says. He probes at his left-side molars with his tongue for a second, just in case, but nothing feels much looser than yesterday, so at least that’s a start. “Any bright ideas?”
“Several,” Roy says. “Of untold brilliance. Such as: it’s possible that I should stop assuring my enemies that they’ll never take me alive in a way that apparently sounds like a challenge.”
Ed has to admit that it’s preferable to the alternative, but just once—just once in his overly eventful little life—he would have liked this whole diplomatic mission thing to go off without a hitch.
Sleep paralysis is weird… you’re awake but your body literally can’t fucking do anything, your brain is going “back to sleeeeeep” but your survival instincts are saying “DON’T GO BACK TO SLEEP OR YOU’LL FUCKING DIE” you end up being this creature that’s half way to an anxiety attack but literally can’t do anything about it… mother nature why did you design this shitty animal
And then your brain projects a demon into your room because why not?
Brain: this situation isn’t hellish enough I’m gonna add some uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh…satan
The first time it happened to me I had a witch, complete with pointy hat, green skin and a wart on her nose, floating on a swirling black cloud above my bed.
I was about 12 at the time.
man i feel sorry for you guys. The first and only experience i’ve had with sleep paralysis was literally just a bunch of fucking ants crawling all over my body, but like it was a poorly looped gif of ants and as soon as I realized when the ants reset to their original position, they started floating off my body in chunks and clipping through my bed. Hands down one of the top 5 funniest things to happen to me.
Sinclair Broadcasting’s failed effort to buy Tribune Media may soon become more than just a costly embarrassment. It could result in the company ultimately losing its broadcast licenses.
Bottom line: The conservative broadcaster has been accused of lying to the FCC, and of acting in bad faith with Tribune.
That’s an argument being made by Cowen media analyst Paul Gallant, who calls this scenario “underappreciated” and notes that Sinclair’s first batch of licenses comes up for renewal in June 2020. And we’re hearing the same thing from other sources in the broadcast world, who describe Sinclair as a “hard headed” company that rarely engages with D.C. and which recently lost its top lobbyist.
At issue are Sinclair’s alleged misrepresentations to the FCC during the Tribune Media review process.
Those allegations can be reviewed by an administrative law judge during a license renewal hearing, were the FCC to recommend such a hearing (which may be likely, given FCC’s concerns and Sinclair’s many outside critics).
The judge could revoke Sinclair’s licenses outright, if the company is found to have knowingly made false statements to the FCC.
A more likely scenario, according to a telecom lawyer, is that the FCC would reach a settlement whereby Sinclair is required to divest stations.
Sinclair also is going to have troubles finding another merger partner. Not only because of its potential license renewal issues, but also because Tribune has filed a breach of contract lawsuit in which it accused the company of being “belligerent.”
I’ve seen a bunch of people in the notes concerned (like I was) of comparisons of members of the lgbt to dogs: but upon visiting their website I was reassured that they monitor a variety of content, including (but not limited to):
THIS IS A GOOD SITE
Yeah, this site is literally so people can check for content they don’t want to see…or in some cases content that would make them physically or mentally ill. (I have strobe issues myself…)
It’s highly useful for a lot of people.
I had no idea they warned for strobe effects, that’s awesome! They give me headaches and nausea.
They frequently add more categories, it seems – there have been more added just about every time I’ve visited the site. And they’re clearly open to suggestions, as the twitter exchange in the OP shows 😀
ETA: it also looks like they’ve updated the thumbnails on the categories since the above screenshot was taken. So like, there isn’t a scary clown face on the one specifically for people hoping to avoid clowns, for example…
Signal boost this for people who have triggers!
I did not know about this site and it is now bookmarked,
