Obsessed with red eyes in evERY season but I especially enjoy these (second one).
am i the only person not affected by generalized positivity… like post it notes in bathrooms that say ‘you’re beautiful’ or posts that are like ‘smile! you are a beautiful sunshine flower!’ i’m just like … okay…
I just heard a psychologist (Guy Winch) say that the people that positive affirmations help most are actually the people who have high or at least normal self-esteem. They really do cheer those people up!
But for the rest of us they run so counter to our general worldview (we’re fundamentally bad and deserve nothing) that our brain rejects them immediately as lies and uses that moment to remind us of how terrible and abnormal we actually are.
What usually works for people with low self-esteem is stuff like writing out a list of very specific things we know we’re good at, and revisiting it every day to write a paragraph elaborating on one of those things (i.e. “I’m a compassionate person and here are five examples”) to try to set our brain on a different track long term.
That makes so much sense.

Holy crap
my favorite thing i’ve learned in college is that way back in ancient china there was this poet/philosopher guy who wrote this whole pretentious poem about how enlightened he was that was like “the eight winds cannot move me” blahblahblah and he was really proud of it so he sent it to his friend who lived across the lake and then his friend sends it back and just writes “FART” (or the ancient Chinese equivalent) on it and he was SO MAD he travels across the lake to chew his friend out and when he gets there his friend says “wow. the eight winds cannot move you, but one fart sends you across the lake”
i googled this bc i desperately wanted this to be real, and guess what…it is.
the dude’s name was su dongpo (also known as su shi). his original poem went like this:
稽首天中天,
毫光照大千,
八風吹不動,
端坐紫金蓮
(Humbly bowed my head below all skies Minutest lights shine through my deepest bounds Immovable by strong winds from eight sides Upon purplish gold lotus I seated straightly by the low mound) (x)
on which his friend wrote “放屁” (fart, literally), and you know the rest.
(here’s a chinese source for the skeptics)
congratulations i laughed so hard my dog came to check on me
Su Dongpo is a LEGEND. LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nobody talks about how ugly taking care of yourself can be
yes, sometimes it’s taking a warm bath and texting memes to friends and keeping an aesthetically pretty journal.
sometimes it’s crying silently on your couch at 3am, hugging yourself and reminding yourself that you’re a good person.
self care is not always ‘aesthetic’ and cute…and that’s ok. don’t be embarrassed, just do what you need to do.

I took a test on like where you are on the ‘nonverbal intimacy scale’ and the average female score is 102 and male is 93.8 and I got 56 lolololol
here it is if ya want (reblog/reply w/ what you get!!)
It’s actually the “non-verbal immediacy scale”, not “intimacy scale”, but anyway – still an interesting test. (My own score was 108, FWIW.)
oh lmao thanks. I really didn’t expect this to get more than like 4 notes anyway uhm
103 :)

The best athletes face tough decisions every day.
Trying to figure out if you’re ace or aro can be so much harder than other sexualities because it’s like, trying to find the absence of something. Imagine you’re at a pond and you want to know if there are any turtles, or fish. Say you find a turtle and you’re like “great! Now I know there are turtles.” Or a fish, now you know for sure there are fish. Or you find both, and now you know for a fact there are both turtles and fish in the pond.
But like, if you don’t find any turtles it might be that there are no turtles or maybe you’re just really shitty at looking for turtles and maybe you THINK you saw a turtle over there or maybe it was just a stick. Maybe there are only a few turtles. Maybe you need to do something special to find the turtles. Maybe a bunch of these rocks are actually turtles but you couldn’t tell them apart. Maybe there are no turtles. You have no idea. Meanwhile some people are saying “Oh there have to be turtles! You’ll find them eventually ;)” or “How many turtles have you found in your pond?” or “Try planting some vegetables at the shore to attract the turtles.” Or “Oh no! What disaster happened to your pond that there are no turtles?” And you’re just standing there wet with an empty net and a tired expression.
But whatever because whether there are turtles or fish or not your pond’s ecology works just fine without them because that’s what eco-communities do they form a system around what they have. You aren’t missing anything if you don’t have turtles you just have a pond system without turtles. If someone tried to change you by pouring a bunch of turtles into your pond it would probably fuck something up.
So you don’t have to be entirely sure. You don’t have to search every inch of the damn pond before you can decide there are probably no turtles. If you want to take the aro or ace label because you think it fits go for it. And if you do find your turtles you can rename the pond. That’s fine.
Oh! This is good and also you know works for explaining why ace identities like grey-aro/ace and demi are so difficult to explain?
Demi: You find one, specific turtle in the pond. You’ve never had one in your pond before because it’s not usually how it’s ecology works but there is this one turtle who just thinks your pond is perfect for them. Then other people are like “but there’s a turtle right there?? so you have turtles now??“ Well, no not exactly but this one little guy really seems at home here. “So… you have turtles now right? Where are the other turtles! I knew you wouldn’t be without turtles for long!” So of course you think “oh god, where there turtles the whole time? Will I just have turtles from now on? Was I faking not having turtles? Did I just not realise what turtles were?” But in reality… Nah, there just happened to be this one kickass turtle who likes your pond an awful lot. It doesn’t invalidate the rest of the time when you didn’t have any turtles. Grey-a: Most of the time, there are no turtles in your pond, except every now and then you’ll have an influx of turtles, or one or two turtles, or a family of turtles and it’s a little bewildering because… “Oh my god! Where did these turtles come from? What did I do? Where they always there?!” and other people are like “Uh, I see you have turtles! You told me you couldn’t have turtles in your pond. Why would you lie about not having turtles? It’s okay!” But no, you just… Didn’t have turtles before. And then when there are no turtles people insist you could have turtles before so you must still have them. Maybe their right, maybe your just bad at finding turtles or something? Maybe… Maybe you just need to find the right turtles. I may have gotten a little carried away but i really, really like this metaphor. It’s a really good explanation.
