Something spicy for your white bread life. I've literally never left. not even once you traitors! ⚧⚢👽 I make art on occasion and shit post. please check out the #myart tag
If you don't already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.
Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.
Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?
If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it's this one.
Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.
okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I'm still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that's a good idea and then dont move from where I'm curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.
So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.
cybertrucks are so amazing to me. sure it may be unsafe to drive and unimaginably expensive and ugly as shit but at least everyone who sees you driving it thinks youre a nazi
Isn't it fucking insane that so many people think that IQs are real. Like people genuinely believe you are born with one set level of intelligence that can be measured on a scale from 1 to ~200. As if intelligence wasn't extremely nuanced and completely subjective. And the fact that the majority of scientists that have advocated for IQ tests in the past have been eugenicists doesn't seem to concern anyone either
Look, I know Tumblr is the website of chronically online introverts, but this is also the only website where I have any reach. And I live in America so this is relevant to me. So I'll go ahead and put this here.
Run For Something
Every year there's hundreds of positions that go completely unchallenged. Some of them for areas that you, the general American Tumblrite, probably care about.
I'm being so, so, so completely serious right now.
Run For Something
Run for something, and if you promise to never ban a book, the linked website and @fated-mates can get you in touch with volunteers for phone banking (aka letting voters know you exist, what you stand for, and convincing people to vote for you). Depending on your situation, they'll fund you, too.
(fated mates was more specific about helping Leftist candidates get $1000, but I'll let you listen to them on this episode and decide for yourself. I'm not affiliated with them.)
Women especially need to hear the message 7 times, according to some studies, to be convinced that yes, this is something they can do.
You can run for something! Run for something small. School boards. Municipal government. Run for something as a side hustle. Run for something because you're an empty nester and your book club stinks. Run for something so you can personally push things leftward, even if it's just one foot, that's one foot further towards your leftist goals no matter what they might be.
Run for school board because look at the fucking idiots currently running it. You know you're smarter than them. Fucking, if you've ever completed a school project you're probably smarter than them.
Run for something because Elon Musk is pissing you off. Run for something because you're trying to fight off despair. Run for something because you hate the idea that you can't do anything. You can do something! You can run for something.

Look at me. Look me in the eyes. Two neighborhood people who were involved in being community support for my union decided to run for library board and not only did they both win, they beat out my least favorite board member who is now no longer my problem. These two new pro-union board members will now be on the board the next time we have to negotiate a contract. This makes my life, personally, demonstrably better and easier. Just because two people decided library board was something they cared about.
#life tools #run for something #if imposter syndrome is trying to run you down #look at who is currently in charge and remind yourself #just how easy it would be to do better than that
I'm not saying running for something is easy and being an elected official involves a good bit of work and responsibility, but damn it can really be worth it. I ran for my local library board and I can see the tangible results in my community based on decisions I have made there. Take that nihilism and helplessness!
If youre not comfortable running for an office you can join a union or unionize your workforce. Unions are incredibly powerful tools for local and state change. And you have unions to thank for the weekend, child labor laws, overtime pay, the 8 hour work day, OSHA. I literally could go on forever.
"Collared subs this collared subs that" shoutout to my collared doms/tops. I'm letting my pretty little thing keep me on a leash like a king's prized hunting dog
