whenever one of my more popular mutuals reblogs a post of mine and then it immediately starts getting notes I feel like I’m a poor victorian street urchin singing a sad little song on the street with my patched up old cap upturned on the ground just hoping for passerbys to drop tuppence into it and a wealthy older gentleman with a cane and a top hat has just stopped to listen to me for a few minutes whilst thoughtfully puffing on his pipe and stroking his beard and then after I finish my song he ruffles my hair and tells me I’ve done good and drops a ten pound note into my cap and I exclaim with disbelief and delight and say are you quite sure sir why that’s enough to keep my family fed for a week or more and we’ve had naught but boiled water for tea and supper ever since mama passed on of consumption and papa lost his job at the factory he just smiles quietly dons his top hat and winks mysteriously at me and then continues on his way while I run to the market as fast as I can to buy potatoes and bread

“Time is not a straight line, it’s more of a labyrinth, and if you press close to the wall at the right place you can hear the hurrying steps and the voices, you can hear yourself walking past on the other side.”

— Tomas Tranströmer (1931-2015), from “Answers to Letters”, in: “The Great Enigma”, translated from the Swedish by Robin Fulton

the faded, once-beloved tumblr diva ushers you into her projection room and has her gay butler put on a reel of hit posts from days of yore. “look at me” she says, clutching your arm a little too tightly with her sharp sharp nails and puffing on a gold cigarette holder, hoping the smoke will hide the tears brimming in her eyes “wasnt i beautiful”

“And they say, I get it religion boils down to just be a good person. They’re like it’s a good thing. Be a good person. And I always sort of politely say, I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. We wouldn’t still be talking about it. Do you think Jesus was the only Nazarene that had the idea to be nice to people or be a good person? Like, don’t steal and be charitable. You think that was what started a revolution that got him killed? That guy that keeps saying “Be a good person.” Let’s kill him? He was saying wake up. It’s a dream. Wake up. We’re all equal. Wake up. You think I’m your king? I’m also this homeless person, which isn’t a guilt trip, he’s saying, we’re all together. We’re all in one thing together. There’s no separation. It’s one thing. That threatens power structures. Power is saying “I’m over here. I’m at the Four Seasons and you guys are at the Hotel 8.” Jesus comes in and goes like would you fucking get off it? Like what are you talking about? You’ve gotten lost in your mind, your dualistic thinking. Better, worst, good, bad, important, unimportant, able-bodied, not able-bodied, whatever it is. He’s just like, we’re literally under water. We’re under water and you think you’re separate. You’re soaking in this and that is not- Like it’s not sexy, vibrant, electric, interesting, for someone to say just be a good person. If I want that I’ll talk to any of my relatives. “That’s what Jesus was about he’s about being a good person.” Was he? Was he? You really think people called him the goddamn King of Kings cuz he was like “Be decent.” You think that was a new idea?”

Some individuals with AD/HD, especially without hyperactivity, have an activation problem as described by Thomas Brown, Ph.D. in his article AD/HD without Hyperactivity (1993). Rather than a deficit of attention, this means that individuals can’t deploy attention, direct it, or put it in the right place at the right time. He explains that adults who do not have hyperactivity often have severe difficulty activating enough to start a task and sustaining the energy to complete it. This is especially true for low-interest activities. Often it means that they can’t think of what to do so they might not be able to act at all, or, as Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo say in You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!, they might experience a “paralysis of will” (pg. 65). “The clothes from my trip—a month ago—are just still lying in a heap in the suitcase.” “I spend a lot of time in bed watching TV but my mind isn’t watching TV. I’m thinking about what I should be doing, but I don’t have the energy to do it.”

if you have loved ones in lebanon or you are aware of someone who has loved ones in lebanon, i strongly urge you to reach out to them as soon as possible. if you don’t have loved ones in lebanon, i hope you at least spread the word to help others and keep beirut in your thoughts today.

this all started just barely two hours ago, and the reports are still coming in with updates. keep an eye on the news, if you can. stay safe. 

[neonprotagonist]

the country of lebanon and it’s people have been struggling intensely recently due to political unrest, famine, covid-19, and an economic crisis. please read this twitter thread by a lebanese user for more information and how to help, along with this carrd

additionally, a carrd has been made concerning the beirut explosion and it consists of information on emergency relief, access to breaking news about the catastrophe, and, especially, information on blood donations.

multiple lebanese twitter users have urged against monetary donations as they will have a far far smaller impact than intended. what they are asking for is blood donations and raised voices, along with the sharing of these resources on current events in lebanon.

please keep your heart, mind, eyes, and ears open to lebanon, the city of beirut, and its people right now.

Hey I just wanted to know your stance on Pansexuality? Cuz I'm seeing so much panphobia from people online and I'm pretty desperately looking for support

Words are tools used to communicate thoughts and ideas, and while they are often sufficient for everyday conversation, they often fail to encapsulate the full, three-dimensional reality of our individual subjective experiences.

Am I the straight-paper dictionary definition- of an Asexual? No, but you can use a butter knife as a screwdriver in a pinch. I just happen to live in a reality where nobody's invented a screwdriver yet, you know?

All this piss over "pansexuality is secretly biphobic" and "bisexuality is secretly transphobic".... Y'all can meditate for twenty minutes and then come back to the party. All anyone using these words wants is to feel less alone. That's all anyone wants. 

Life isn't a book report where any argument you can dig your heels into in theoretical study is valid- you gotta prioritize. You know who's biphobic? Biphobes. You know who's Transphobic? Transphobes. 

Lord Jesus Mary and Joseph, pick an enemy and an ally and get shit done. If I've got a guy with a gun to my head and a dude at my side says 'shit', is telling him to watch his mouth seriously my biggest concern? Or even my problem at all? 

God, this makes me tired. It'll be a new thing next week, too, and I'll be getting anonymous hate mail for that.

Listen. It doesn't matter what a person calls themselves- it matters how they act. But watching someone and observing their behavior towards others is boring and time-consuming, and we'd all just rather be loud and angry because black and white rage is easier.

Tgdtghgfssft. I'm tired.

Just try your best to be a decent person and you're golden.
