im gonna pinned post

i’m calen / strifey, i’m 25, and i write and doodle sometimes and work in neurosurgery / brain tumor research (i run a lab but the lab is just me so LOL). i’m terrible at tagging. you’ll see weird neurosurgery talk here along with shit about france, bc i lived there alone for a bit as a teenager (i’m american)

also you’ll see lots of ocs. i love my ocs. my oldest are michael & connie and they are 11 years old in real life years which is insane. my current main man is j'gar and he is much younger hes barely two in real life but i love him.

my dog is bug (tag: bugabug), my cat is jasper (tag: jasper jackjack), and i have the worlds smallest gecko (@ tinyguymagpie). eventually i’ll have more garden posts (tag: plant blogging)

i’ll edit this later or i wont. hi anyway

Reminds me of that one time a US politician said we shouldn’t provide hygiene products to prisoners and two journalists clarified that while they were held hostage by two different terrorist groups they were still given a toothbrush and toilet paper.

Please do things to strengthen your attention span. It stresses me out so much when people just accept their small attention spans and cater to them without any acknowledgment that they are making it worse by doing that.

There is a reason attention spans are worse now and it didn’t just happen by chance. Media and the internet designed it that way and we went with it because it was easier.

Some of us with ADHD and brain fog need to meet ourselves where we’re at and lengthen our exercise span by watching a two minute video instead of a one minute video. Some of us need to sit down and read a novel with our phones turned off.

Wherever you’re at, just realize that not doing things that feel hard will keep making your attention span worse.

one of my favorite things about FMA’s worldbuilding is that you get to gradually realize how edward elric is the only person who dresses like that

This was shot last year. It explains what life is like under the occupation in Palestine, especially the west bank. It’s very important and informing about everyday life, please watch it and share it as much as possible.

An interview by Dena Takuri.
