Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Thank you, but do you have any advice for teens?

[kuttithevangu]

So my FIRST piece of information if you’re still a teen is that genuinely as you get older it will get easier to regulate your emotions. During adolescence our brains are undergoing a lot of growth and change that genuinely does make it harder to do this, on a scientific level. However, practicing emotional regulation skills can still help a lot and if you can find something that works it will make life easier going forward

how to explain to these “everyone knows soda has no nutritional value” people that soda has literally kept me alive as a chronically ill cancer patient in recovery from anorexia nervosa. soda is accessible, digestible, helps w my nausea, helps me get solid food down, boosts my blood sugar when i need it, and is also–get a load of this–a significant source of pleasure in a body whose most salient experiences are discomfort and suffering.

if soda were all i could access? at an overpriced corner store? that’s a serious issue, and a gross injustice. i have been food insecure. i study food insecurity. i feel the weight of this.

but stop pretending that your arbitrary food morality (where it’s food itself that is intrinsically “good” or “bad,” “healthy” or “junk,” according to… you) is a step toward food justice. it’s not; you’re not increasing the autonomy or access of people who are cut off from a healthy variety of foods that align with their needs and values. you’re not improving systems of food production or distribution or the fundamental injustice of arranging these things for profit rather than according to need. you’re only stigmatizing people who do eat those foods to meet their needs, under varying and complex configurations of constraint and choice.

I always found it fun that Alexis is the president in TFA canon (kinda–at least through the allspark almanac) and naturally I had to draw Prez Alexis with Starscream! Hope you all like!

EDIT: a whoops! looked through the allspark almanac again and it turns out alexis was only ‘preparing’ to run for president in the US with her pro-autobot campaign. Still, tho it’d’ve been nice to see if she were elected later on!

sharing this traumatized yet very very very brave philippine eagle from ph twt because ive been thinking about her since YESTERDAY

translation: PHILIPPINE EAGLE ATTACKED BY OVER 30 MONKEYS

A Philippine Eagle was rescued after being attacked by more than 30 monkeys in Bukidnon.

According to the indigenous Lumad who rescued the eagle, he was simply picking fruit when he heard a loud commotion from the trees, which is where he saw the eagle being attacked. The eagle is now under the care of the DENR for medical attention and rehabilitation.

translator's note from me: this got attention because the Philippine Eagle is also known as the Monkey-Eating Eagle.

and so the reactions are kinda hilarious. it started with people cyberbullying the poor bird, calling her an embarrassment

but then people came to her defense because 1v30 is not a fair fight

translation: That's how I'd look like too if my food suddenly attacked me

let's all pray for this diva and her hopefully smooth recovery!!

and if you want to support Philippine Eagle conservation (as they are a critically endangered species), consider supporting the Philippine Eagle Foundation with a donation or buy some of their cool merch where proceeds go to animals in their care.

update on this diva, now named Sawaga-Dalwangan!! she's recovering well :D

“Sawaga-Dalwangan is now alert and responsive. She is eating on her own, her wounds are clean, and the maggot infestation is gone. She has completed her antibiotics and other medicines, and there are no signs of an active infection,” said PEF in a statement. (link)

when life throws 30 angry monkeys your way, YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING!!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!

[actualbird]

it's with a broken heart that i bring sad news. Sawaga-Dalwangan has unfortunately passed away.

not only did she fight 30 monkeys, but later articles described that she was doing that while already injured with metal pellets embedded in her wings, most likely inflicted by hunters or poachers.

may her struggle and passing inspire more attention towards Philippine Eagle conservation. consider supporting the Philippine Eagle Foundation.

i hope we can all remember her bravery and her fighting spirit. rest your wings now, Sawaga-Dalwangan.
