it’s that time of year again where you’ll be seeing “it’s okay if all you did was survive this year” type posts going around and I love those posts and I agree with them, this isn’t a criticism. What I want to add to that sentiment is that, for me personally, I actually worked really really fucking hard to make it through this year. Surviving wasn’t “just” anything for me. It’s an achievement, it took sincere and consistent effort on my part, and I’m really proud of myself for doing it because there were times I genuinely didn’t want to and it sucked. If you had a year like that, I want you to take a moment to be really proud of yourself too and I want you to know I’m glad you made it. I hope next year will be easier for all of us.
Do not quit alcohol cold turkey
Do not suddenly stop drinking alcohol as a new years resolution if you have been consistently using alcohol most days
Your body gets used to the presence of the alcohol as a sedative in your system
Suddenly removing the sedative you are chemically accustomed to is like suddenly removing the wall you are leaning on - you will topple over
You brain electricity gets overexcited
This causes seizures
This causes sudden onset dementia (Wernicke's encephalopathy)
This causes brain damage
If you use alcohol often (even in moderate amounts)
Or in large amounts
Or you have ever noticed you get shakey tremors and anxious when you stop drinking
Then your body is chemically dependant and you need to be very careful coming off alcohol otherwise you will cause brain damage
Slowly wean down the amount you drink over days or weeks
Talk to a doctor about your goals to quit and ask about support options
Medically supported withdrawal is a lot safer
If alcohol withdrawal goes badly there is a 15% chance it will kill you.
Do not go this alone
You deserve to be safe
Please reblog this or other similar posts and talk about it with people around you
Support your friends to be safe
Remember the Cold Turkey Rule:
Quitting drugs can make you feel like you're dying
Quitting alcohol can make you actually die
Do No Do This Alone
You Are Worth Helping
If you’re a USAmerican and rightfully horrified by what the government is doing right now, I just want to rq share 5calls. They have a really simple tool for finding your reps and contacting them, as well as a variety of scripts for anyone not confident speaking off book. Emails can be filtered out, phone calls, voicemails, and physical letters are much harder to ignore. Calling your reps isn’t the end all be all of anti-war action, but it’s a place to start while you process what the fuck just happened.
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
The US is bombing my home country Venezuela.
Venezuela has been in a dictatorship as long as I have been alive. Since 1998. My parents are happy about a coup and hope Maduro dies or gets arrested, which yes. Fuck Maduro, fuck Chavismo. But I've read way too much about the history of US dipping their hands into South America, installing puppet states, fucking everything up and this is not a win. Even if Maduro dies or gets arrested, the US just wants the country's resources, they are not magically going to fix everything, there is a corrupt reason for this to be happening that is yet to unfold and I'm so tired. Fuck Trump.
I wish I could find better words to explain this to non-venezuelans, or Venezuelans of an older generation who are just tired of failed "socialism" and beelined straight to far right borderline extremism as if that was better. For now my family back home is safe and I wish every person in Caracas the same.
updated: for those wanting to help venezuelans these are the best general ways to go about it
cruz roja (red cross venezuela)
doctors without borders & world central kitchen
save the children (general campaign focused on venezuela)
+ the AFSC call to action (US)

every day i go on tumblr dot com and have to face tumblr's white man of the week
whether you celebrate holidays this season, or you’re stuck in a bad situation, or it is just the general air of the year end doom, i wish you have small moments of comfort and quiet, and you get to eat and sleep regularly. it is okay if you didn’t do everything you planned to, plans are just one path but there’s many ways to get to places. i wish care and warmth and rest for you

"what's the worst thing you can do as an artist" is not "shade with black" or "not use references" or whatever the worst thing you can do as an artist is hate yourself. and that includes the person you used to be
"look at how bad my old art is" "this was so cringe" "it's embarrassing to look at this" what are you gaining here? belatedly being your own bully? is it more acceptable to hate a kid if it's the kid you used to be? shut the fuck up. be kind to yourself or don't say anything at all. people are really not laughing with you when you mock yourself and if they are maybe consider hanging out with nicer people. imo.
this also goes for having your personal blog tags be like "nobody cares (name)" or "shut up (name)" or whatever. why are you being mean to yourself. its not preventing other people from being mean to you just because you get the first shot in it just means you get shot twice. how is that better. how is any of that better
everything is either "sweets", "cutes", or "fucked beyond comprehension"
