Frank O’Hara, ‘For Grace, After A Party’

[visit-ba-sing-se]

idk who needs to hear this but there is literally nothing that would be “too small” or “too insignificant” to stay alive for. You think birds are cute? Go for another day to see more of them jump around in the snow. You like hot chocolate? Wake up tomorrow to make yourself another cup. You are really into that one (objectively kinda crappy) series? Go until next Wednesday when the new episode airs. You do not always need a great purpose. If you have a small thing that can take you to the next morning? That thing is great. That thing is enough. Go get that thing.

“if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly.

Hey kids, not to be a party pooping adult, but if you start noticing signs of having an addictive personality/tendencies at a young age, be really careful when experimenting with alcohol, marijuana, or nicotine (and other illegal drugs, which I would encourage you to avoid entirely; and medicinal drugs like opioids acquired after a surgery).

Like, if you can’t tear yourself away from a video game, even to make it to an important event on time? Addictive tendencies.

If you keep spending your allowance money on those funny collectibles or new shoes even when you promise yourself you’re going to save it? Addictive tendencies.

If you find yourself unable to resist and manage food cravings, or frequently overeating even when it makes you feel bad? Addictive tendencies.

Be aware of yourself, kids. Be cautious and don’t be anybody’s fool. I love you, be safe!

Think about members of your family as well! I was warned before college that my paternal grandfather had alcohol issues, and both my dad and an uncle have addiction issues as well as my brother! These things *can* run in families so be aware of that too.

I refuse to touch alcohol or recreational drugs because I have an EXTREMELY addictive personality and alcoholism runs in my family. Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on much, I’ve never been tempted to drink because I don’t even like the taste of alcohol.

okay so also: american culture treats drug addiction as something uniquely bad and toxic. but what’s bad about it is the addiction.

addictive behaviors are when you compulsively, uncontrollably seeking to self-regulate with some outside medium. if that medium is unhealthy quantities of a toxic chemical, you are going to intake a lot of toxic chemicals and damage your health. also, your quality of life is going to be warped around getting that substance, which, if it’s illegal, is going to put you in extra danger. and so on.

but the thing is, if you know you have an ‘addictive personality’ you can’t just say ‘ok i won’t be addicted to anything bad and it will be fine’. you have to actually look at what you’re self-regulating with, and why, and how much, and how often. shopping too much isn’t as bad as meth. but you’re still not going to be making healthy financial decisions. video games won’t destroy your body as fast as whiskey. but you’re going to be pouring hours, weeks, of your life into numbing yourself and avoiding the problems that make you need an easy escape from your brain.

you get addicted to things because you need to handle something you can’t handle, and those things make it bearable for as long as you have those things, until you depend on those things, and the stuff that you can’t handle just keeps piling up and up. so childhood trauma, really any kind of trauma, undiagnosed (or even diagnosed) mental illnesses and disorders, they can make life too hard and too painful to deal with alone. so you buy things because you need to feel just a moment of joy. so you gamble because you love the feeling of a controllable uncertainty. so you drink because it sands the edges off the world. you just want to feel okay for a minute. you do, actually, deserve to feel okay for a minute. everyone does.

but you can’t just say, ‘well, i will just never do any drugs and i’ll be fine.’ you deserve to be actually fine, and think constructively about how to handle your own unmet needs.

I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.

I’m reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.

MMMMM, the LAYERS to this. 

She’s technically a monster too. She might not look it at first glance and seems mostly human, but it isn’t deniable even despite her looks compared to the other monsters. 

But she realizes that she is still not like the rest of the monsters either and may not have entirely the same experiences as them, which is why she feels that she might not belong to or deserve to go to the support group. By sometimes passing as human, she feels she isn’t worthy of the space. 

The sad reality though is even though she’s mostly human in appearance, that tail she has undeniably would still cause her some struggle. Humans are still gonna look at that tail and think she’s a freak. There are probably still accommodations she needs because of the tail that she may still struggle to have access to. Even if it is just the tail, that tail is still enough to other her from humans and cause her problems and discrimination. 

She should get to belong in that support group even if she gets told she’s not monster “enough”. She still shares some of the same struggles as them that are caused by being a monster, and needs support. 

This is an excellent demonstration of the flaws in the concept of passing privilege. Bravo to the artist.
