The inner mechanisms of my mind are an enigma

🔴 BREAKING: According to The Telegraph (Aug 21, 2025), famine has officially been declared in Gaza for the first time by the UN-backed IPC.

While Israel prepares to destroy what remains of Gaza City, families here are being torn apart by hunger, destruction, and despair.

My own family is among those suffering, with nothing left to survive on.

Please, donate to help keep us alive. 🇵🇸🕊️

Hello, I apologize for the inconvenience.

I am not asking for a lot of money, I only need 70 euros to buy a medicine called Depalept to treat muscle spasms for my brother samer.

@hazemsuhail

I’m so sorry i can’t donate right now but will share!

[andi-yellow]

I used to think that losing a home was the hardest thing that could happen.

But what I’ve learned is that the hardest part comes after — trying to rebuild your life while carrying the weight of everything you lost 💔

Every day, I try to focus on the future. On my education, on my family, on the hope that one day things will feel stable again. But hope becomes difficult to hold onto when every step forward feels uncertain.

This campaign is not just helping us financially. It’s helping us believe that our future is still worth fighting for.

If you’re reading this, thank you for taking a moment to see the person behind the fundraiser. Your support, your kindness, and even sharing our story can make a bigger difference than you might imagine 🤍🙏

“what radicalized you” bro EMPATHY

[puppygirllaika]

"what radicalized you" well in kindergarten they told me to share things and be nice to people.

some people will be like "ah yes, purity culture comes from the puritans, which were fanatic Christians, so purity culture comes from christian doctrine, and the two are basically synonymous", and then unknowingly praise Christians for expression the counter-christian ideas of... grace and forgiveness and not needing to be perfect.

[purpleisnotacolor]

alright people throw the term around a lot but what I've generally seen people to mean by "purity culture" is:

the belief that sex dirties you (even if you're married, it's just considered okay to be impure then)

therefore anything to do with sexuality should be hidden or avoided

something that is dirtied or damaged cannot be fixed again

an implicit or explicit understanding that pure things are more valuable than impure things

therefore the highest priority is maintaining purity. if you fail, boo hoo.

and this attitude is present in a lot of christian communities, but it's still wrong.

christian doctrine is:

sex is good and sacred, reserved to a man and woman in marriage.

it should be concealed to express it's sacredness, not dirtiness (this is open to cultural variation.)

redemption, salvation, forgiveness, etc. God makes things that were once bad, dirty, and broken into things that are good, pure, and whole.

human beings, from the most virtuous to the most evil, are unconditionally loved by God and more valuable than anything else on earth

the highest priority is having a good and close relationship with God

[purpleisnotacolor]

I also see people trying to counter it with what I'll call "impurity culture"

sex is dirty, but that just makes it edgy, interesting, and cool. any restrictions and standards are for squares

things that are pure should be dirtied and the dirt flaunted everywhere in celebration

something that is dirtied cannot be made pure again

dirty flawed things are superior to pure things, which are basic and boring and need to be transcended

the highest priority is deviating from purity, which is where you get your uniqueness and therefore your value from

"The devil always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites…He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.”

This is a friendly reminder that none disabled people often do benefit from the same accommodations disabled people benefit from.

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

Yeah okay I'll reblog that!!

[multishipperpirateking]

My dad used to work for Vodafone and likes to tell a story about when he was working on a voicemail transcription service.

And there was a woman there who was some form of disability advocate (it was the 90s so her existence in the company was a minor miracle) and apparently she completely blew his mind on that project.

See, he'd imagined that this service was exclusively gonna be for deaf people. Obviously very useful for the very small number of people who couldn't hear their phone, but why would you even own a mobile phone if you couldn't hear?

But she described to him all the times he might want to read a message instead of listen to it. Maybe he was in a loud football crowd. Maybe there was important info that he needed to copy down that was spoken too fast. Maybe he was holding his sleeping newborn (me) and didn't want his phone to be loud and wake them up.

This doesn't feel as revolutionary as all that to those of us that have only ever known phones with the ability 'send text message', but given the timing and placement of this conversation I wonder if this woman and this project is *part of the reason text messaging exists*. The first text (SMS) message was sent by Vodafone UK in 1992 - where + when this conversation was happening - and then for a long time it was supported exclusively for 'messages from the carrier', and this project was an early potential extra use of the SMS protocol.

So Yeh, building for disability is kinda handy..

can you imagine how often you would use sign language if everyone knew it

Thank you for standing by my family. I know I keep asking, but your donations are what keeps us alive, especially after the recent bombing that injured us all.

Our sole focus now is saving my brother Samer. Securing his vital medications and evacuating him for treatment is our only hope.

Please share our story and encourage others to donate

@hazemsuhail

I will don’t worry!

May God bless you and your family!

Every single day people on tumblr say "what if the shit moral OCD tells you was true and living by it was the only way to be a real progressive"

[zoology]

Coming home from acceptance therapy to see some shit that says "not reblogging is a moral failure" "even if you forgive yourself you should still keep thinking about it" I dont like getting kicked in the head anymore guys

[zoology]

a lot of people are resonating with this so i want to share one of my biggest coping techniques that helps me a lot with moral, false memory, relationship, and harm OCD. disclaimer that i am not a psychiatrist, i am not fully recovered, and i still struggle every day so your mileage may vary as to if this is helpful.

when i struggle with obsessions about not being a good enough person, i have two steps i follow. first, i try to envision the kind of person i want to be. maybe i want to be more earnest. maybe i want to be more helpful. maybe i want to be kinder. maybe i want to be more assertive. i try to imagine a self that is calm, gentle, and confident. then i think of the simplest and most constructive steps to get there. i cannot put myself down. i cannot beat myself up. the steps have to be polite and reasonable advice i could give to someone without OCD.

tomorrow i won't ask my family if they love me, i will simply enjoy their company. i won't make that mean joke anymore. the next time i see my friends i'll ask for their opinion on something small and i will share my honest opinion as well. i will pick up a book and read for 20 minutes instead of avoiding what is a fun activity because i feel "dumb."

i repeat one of my favorite simpsons quotes a lot: "you can't keep blaming yourself, blame yourself once and move on." you have to move forward and just take the steps to be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do using advice that you would give to any person other than yourself. part of being obsessive-compulsive is being rigidly self-critical and scrutinizing yourself far more than you would any other person. it's hard to beat these feelings, but the reality is that self punishment doesn't make anything better. things only get better when you move forward. you have to treat yourself like a human being.

it can be really hard to follow through with this advice sometimes. other times it's shockingly easy to start doing the things i want to do. there'll always be ups and downs and lefts and rights when living with OCD, and medication, therapy, and stress management are really helpful. still, even if it's hard, i have to move forward. i have to construct a healthy self instead of destroying an unhealthy self.
