Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
me when a character who was completely powerless gains power and proceeds to lose themselves in the intoxication of it before coming to and being horrified by their own capacity for bloodlust
reading about serial killers in the 1800s and they had female incels I guess
hey everyone saying I just don’t understand marriage was important for women’s survival in the 1800s. I still don’t think she had to be a serial killer as a result if i’m being honest. I think you may have skipped the serial killer part
wait real. if I didn’t have this damn phone i’d start killing too probably
I’m so thankful this exists. I think that many people with mental health issues (myself included) downplay what they’re going through.
I’m an 8 right now. If I hadn’t seen this chart tonight I’d keep denying my struggle. Now I have to face it.
Reblogging for my followers. My own mental health took a bit of a nosedive last week. Take care of yourselves. Take care of each other. ♡♡
FYI for any who need it. Please seek help.
This is clarifying for me. A 6 is a good day. I live at a 7-8. This summer I spent a lot of time at 9. (Yes, I have an excellent therapist and a lot of meds, this is just the way it is.) I’m hoping with the additional support I’m starting to get, I can drop back to 4-6.
Me: “I’ve been doing pretty good lately. I’ve been around a 6 all week.”
Therapist: “I’m glad you’ve been stable, but you know a 6 still is high, right? I’d really like to get you consistently below a 4.”

This is why I hate the like, casual ha ha aren’t men awful jokes that people like to casually throw around.
Like, men are victims of the patriarchy too, and loneliness and isolation is what brings out the worst in people.
I’m not saying you have to be nice to or defend wretched men, but don’t treat them as wretched just because they are men. Treat them as wretched because they are wretched.
umar khalid has spent 1400 days in jail as a political prisoner without trial.
Khalid was arrested in September 2020 over allegations of being part of a “larger conspiracy” to ignite deadly riots in the capital city New Delhi, which resulted in the deaths of over fifty people, most of them Muslims lynched in the streets by Hindu mobs. Saddled with charges ranging from “promoting enmity” to “terrorism,” the police have used his public speeches as evidence to prove the charge of incitement.
A look at what he actually said makes these claims rather dubious. One such speech, delivered in Maharashtra in February 2020, urged people not to respond to violence with violence, or hate with hate. “If they spread hate, we will respond to it by spreading love. If they beat us with lathis (police truncheons), we will hold aloft the tricolor (Indian flag). If they fire bullets, then we will hold the Constitution and raise our hands… . But we will not let you destroy our country,” he told the crowd, calling on his fellow Indians to peacefully protest the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a discriminatory law that experts fear could be weaponized to strip millions of Muslim Indians of their citizenship.
But in the eyes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, it was a seditious speech. The only fitting consequence was turn Khalid into an example for other protesters.
But Khalid isn’t the only prisoner of conscience in Modi’s India. There are hundreds of people like him, locked behind bars as political prisoners. In the ten years since Modi came to power, he has decimated Indian democracy by punishing journalists, members of civil society, activists, students, and lawyers for criticizing him, his government, and his Hindu supremacist ideology.
best piece of life advice when you want to change a bad habit: you cant remove something without replacing it. otherwise, you’ll leave a hole that needs filled.
you want to distance yourself from that friend and interact less frequently? get closer with other friends, and talk with them more.
you want to drink less gatorade/soda? start drinking more water or tea.
you want to play less video games? play more card or board games.
you want to eat less junk food? cook more home meals or go to better restaurants where you can.
energy cant be created or destroyed, and that applies to your habits too.
suddenly remembered this poem as i was making breakfast this morning & frantically googled “poem remembered to buy eggs?????????” & somehow managed to find it & it utterly knocked the wind out of me just as much as when i first read it
I wonder when incarceration replaced military service as the fundamental shared experience of the American working class
fairly skeptical about either of these really being a fundamental shared experience, but if they were, the numbers crossed over in the mid-late ‘90s from eyeballing these graphs (military, incarceration), which sounds reasonable
still just a single digit percentage of the population in either case
apparently 11% of Americans served in WWII, and that was concentrated in particular demographics (young men from rural areas), making it a fairly common shared experience, although now that I think about it incarceration has the advantage that even if there are only two million people in prison at any given time it’s an experience that people are going to pass in and out of.
the internet suggests that 5% of Americans will spend time in prison, or 9% of men, or 25-33% (!) of black men.
12 year old me could face any hardship and just be like. yeah whatever *ignores the problem entirely* *retreats to intricate self indulgent fantasy world where i’m an immortal demon lord*
good news everyone! it turns out you don’t have to be 12 to do this
So I’m not the only person who made up an intricate imaginary world that they spent hours imagining over the course of years?

You might think that the only sensible countermeasure against drowning
would be to teach people how to swim. But in the 1530s, German schools
and universities decided that the best remedy would be a total ban on
swimming, which, in the university town of Ingolstadt on the Danube, was
punishable by the whipping of the drowned offender before burial. A
similar ban on swimming in the Cam came into force in Cambridge in 1571,
with severe punishments for infringements: two public whippings, a fine
of ten shillings and a day in the stocks for a first offence and
expulsion for the second.
It’s funny how people who are perfectly capable of understanding “we have no choice but to become Nazis to secure our existence” is not a reasonable argument in the case of the Zionist Enemy are often incapable of applying the exact same logic to NATO, the largest neo-Nazi military organization in the world
I would have my homeland invaded by the sea peoples. I would be lain siege to by the sea peoples. My cities would be sacked by the sea peoples. I would make bronze tools and pottery. My shores would be invaded by the mysterious sea peoples. I would be mustering my armies to fend off the sea peoples.
Even Weird Al has had that™
experience with Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk IS Forrest Gump
So I looked up why and how this happened, and it turns out Weird Al hired a company called Birdhouse Skateboards to provide some “skate/punk” extras for the video. Birdhouse Skateboards is a company started by Tony Hawk, so not only did Weird Al end up putting Tony Hawk in his video without realizing it, he actually hired Tony Hawk’s company without realizing it! And then Tony Hawk just decided to go along as one of the extras himself.
BTW, he’d already won like 40 contests already, some of them international skateboarding contests. So it’s not like Weird Al cast some unknown skateboarder who ended up becoming World Famous Skateboarder, he was already well known and was running his own Skateboarding company.
Think of it this way. This wasn’t ‘Weird Al got Tony Hawk to be in his video’, this was ‘Tony Hawk found a way to be in a Weird Al Video.’
The chance that Tony Hawk has infiltrated your location or piece of media is low
Note: no boycott has been announced. Always listen to the strikers. They probably want to demonstrate how much it sucks when workers aren’t there to fulfil the demands.
Like, I tend to avoid ‘black Friday’ sales anyway, which are ludicrous outside the US where there’s no fucking Thanksgiving, but don’t just boycott whenever you see there’s a strike.
my bad! I assumed there was a boycott along with this
so many of the transfems i know spent their time pre-transition performing a kind of lifelong exercise in self-deprivation. the goal, for them, was to find out exactly how little a person needed to live. they starved themselves, dressed carelessly, shunned friends, and hollowed themselves out so as not to be burdens on anyone but themselves.
i see it now, too, in the girls around me. i’ll ask if they want care – a home-cooked meal, relaxed company, sex without the expectation of reciprocation – and they say no, no, thank you, i don’t need it; what would you like, what do you want, because in their head they’re still doing that awful calculus, still training themselves to disappear in the eyes of the people around them.
i don’t think i’d have died without transition – not in the conventional sense, at least – but to take that leap, i had to stop thinking of myself as a human experiment in fuel-efficient living and start nurturing the anemic, atrophied flame of desire in my heart. i had to learn to eat well, to exercise, to style myself beautiful, but harder than that, i had to learn to ask the people around me to work on my behalf in order to enrich my life and give me the things i wanted.
and i did it; i learned. and it was agony, but courage is a muscle you can train, and every day i get better at accepting gifts with the hungry gratitude i never learned in my years and years as a sad, scared, lonely boy.
so be patient with the trans girls in your life. better than that: be proactive, attentive, generous; be forceful, if you have to, and learn to distinguish real discomfort from the terrified reflex of self-deprivation that so many of us learned to rely on.
and if you are so lucky as to love a trans girl, you must insist upon her. you must insist upon her happiness, her comfort, her pleasure, and her rest, because she may still not yet know how to make those demands for herself. if you can devote any amount of energy to becoming an engine that nurtures the flame of even a single tgirl then there is a place for you in trans heaven, which as far as i’m concerned is the only one worth going to
