Since I'm therapist-posting recently:

Legitimately self-compassion is the biggest mental health life hack of all time. I'm NOT talking about self-esteem. You do NOT have to like yourself one bit. You don't have to believe that you're a good person who deserves good things. You just have to believe that you're a person who deserves the things all people deserve.

You can't get from "I'm the Worst" to "I'm a worthy and lovable person" without passing through "I'm just a regular fuckup like everybody else."

Try it on. If you're really addicted to being mean to yourself, you can start by framing it as I'm Not Special. Embrace being a regular fuckup like everybody else.

Summons not a big, terrifying, snatching cinematic movie monster, but an actual pterosaur of the genus Pterodactylus, which is only about the size of a seagull.

[pinkegodeath]

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

Alright new plan. (Sorry for these I really am) But please?

Now that me and my mom are at a center (sweet people that help lgbtq individuals in need in orlando) we are in a small apartment and get food from food trucks. And there are clothes donations for when we want clothes. They help with medical health too and provide therapy which is nice. It's nice here but again there are things that they are limited to help us with (ex: helping us get a truck)

Now getting a truck was our primary thing but with people we trusted scammed the hell of us out of it we were at a loss so...sigh. We want to try and get one, just. I can't work due to me being disabled and my mom can't work cause she needs a car! We have no sense of income so I just need help again. (Please be mindful that me and my mom are cut off by family and friends during this journey we had. we have no support. Due to me being trans and being mentally ill and my mom defending me) It isn't as easy as I thought it would be sadly, we still don't have alot but at least we have a roof over our heads. It's nice and small for me, my mom and our dogs.

But my mom really wants a truck and it's been getting to her, I want to help her and I hate seeing her depressed. We saw a car shop near by, we just need the money for it so I thought $800-1,000 would help. Something, we still want to proceed forward.

(plane ticket plan)

That being said a good friend of mine reached out and said until I'm okay I can get a plane ticket and fly from Orlando to Dallas Texas (she said it'll take 2 hrs depending) and I want to go, I want to see her and relax from the trauma I endured for 3 years. But I want my mom and dogs okay too, that's why she needs a truck to go on with her life. And for me to heal and just be by myself finally, I never been on a plane but, I want to maybe save up $800 for the plane ticket and trip, I need something for myself to get a new start. So if you guys could help that would be nice, atleast helping me get a plane ticket would be lovely so I can leave florida. Or help us get a truck so we aren't in one place and finally continue our life.

If you guys could help boost or help us with this it would be nice, again sorry for asking so much. I thought we would be well off when we got here. I guess I was desperate to finally be free haha but we got an apartment atleast but still missing major things.

Pictish drip was insane. Look at this choker:

[byjove]

The Whitecleuch Chain, it was found damaged in Lankshire, outside of known Pict inhabited lands but probably brought there through trade. We know it is Pictish because it features a penannular Pictish closure. It is actually a heavy solid silver chain and not a torc, though there is evidence the Picts wore torcs like other Celtic people, they seemed to be fond of chain style necklaces. This one was probably for ceremonial purposes and not everyday wear because it is so heavy. But like. Let’s imagine the sexiest chief in Pictland in 400 AD wearing this HUGE solid silver chain choker that you might see on the red carpet today.

PLEASE I WANT TO GET THE PLANE TICKETS FIRST! I WANT TO GET TO MY FRIEND SO SHE ISNT HOME ALONE :( PLUS I JUST WANT TO LEAVE FLORIDA!! I HAVE UNTIL A WEEK TO GET A TICKET!!

Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

I'm literally a flight attendant, offering snacks and drinks is my job

it does always piss me off when a historical drama only costumes the characters meant to be unattractive or unsympathetic in historically accurate clothing, while the attractive/sympathetic ones are given essentially contemporary costumes with a slight historical flavor. the past is a foreign country and mainstream film treats it just like one

the vast majority of diy an average person needs in their life for basic maintenance is absolutely dogshit easy

[yeenaaldlooshii]

if you have like 5 hand tools and a can-do attitude congrats. youve solved 90% of your home maintenance problems. theres no need to ask and wait for other ppl to do it for you, or got forbid pay out the ass for maintenance guys. this is my universal advice for city dwellers

[yeenaaldlooshii]

actually im not done. the 5 hand tools are a claw hammer, a screwdriver (the kind with swappable bits), combination pliers, an adjustable wrench, and a tape measure. now all you need is a phone with internet. go to yt and type in "how to do x". watch a 5 min video showing you how to do it. do it. congrats. you are now the handyman of the house and the world is your oyster

[yeenaaldlooshii]

obligatory disclaimer for the piss on the poor website though. dont fuck with electricity if you dont know what youre doing, and save plumbing issues for later when youre not so green anymore. ok now go and be free
