And I didn’t talk to him ever again
This comic has been getting a lot of love and attention lately. The notes are filled with people going through similar things with similar family members. It’s nice to read them and take heart that it gets better.
this site has one setting
I’m laughing, but there’s a super useful corollary, which my husband calls “the Red Balloon.” He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if you’re like, on your first offense, they’ll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it they’ll take the conviction off your record. And he would tell his clients, “Look, everyone’s going to tell you not to do drugs. They’re going to say it over and over again. And it’s like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, you’re going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people it’s yoga. For others it’s woodworking. For some people it’s scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, it’s a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.” So yeah, “watch yourself” is one thing… but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if it’s fanfic about werewolves fucking.)
It’s a form of productive dissociation, and is super, super helpful. It’s easy for me to get bogged down in how much pain I’m in… but some of the most painful periods of my life have also been the most productive, writing-wise, because writing is one of my red balloons.
There is a phrase I use A LOT in my parenting and my son gets very sick of it, but it’s true:
The thing you practise is the thing you get good at.
You may not intentionally be practicing “being grumpy” but if you don’t put effort into practicing “not being grumpy” then I’m afraid that’s what you’re doing. It’s hard! It’s really hard! Sometimes, for some things, it’s pretty much impossible and that sucks!
But being carefully aware that you are going to get good at the things you do most of is a good way to be more careful of what those things are. If that makes sense.
You gotta appreciate sometimes how tumblr works in such a way that everyone who wants to reblog this interesting or useful psychological advice is also forced to reblog the thing about werewolf fucking
The letter – also signed by thousands of subscribers – says the paper’s reporting has been used in support of anti-trans legislation

i hope there are people out there who only know me from this comment bc of all the silly comments i’ve ever made on large posts it’s the one that speaks truest to my aesthetics as an artist and character designer
Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck
Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.
By Talos this can't be happening
reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.
why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op
I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023
If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k
IMPORTANT
Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all
So how about we make this more interesting?
I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022
Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night
OP I hope you are ready to practice some self care because if there's one thing the gremlins of tumblr love it's a challenge.
Being vaccinated against COVID isn't good enough. Wear a mask. It's at record levels across the US, according to waste water analysis. Wear a mask. COVID can really fuck up your brain even if you're vaccinated. Wear a mask.
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers in the United States assessed the efficiency of facemasks in severe ac
Wear a mask
[ID: Text reading "The study results showed that a total of 1,539 subjects were analyzed from 13 studies, including four community-based and nine healthcare-based studies. Among these, 243 subjects had SARS-Cov-2 infections, including 97 who did and 146 who did not wear facemasks. The team noted that the probability of contracting a COVID-19 disease was 7% for mask wearers and 52% for non-mask wearers. The relative risk of getting infected by SARS-COV-2 was 0.13 for mask wearers.
In the healthcare setting, 9% of the mask wearers and 33% of the non-mask wearers tested COVID-19 positive. Furthermore, the relative risk of contracting COVID-19 was 0.20 for individuals wearing facemasks within the healthcare setting. Additionally, in community settings, the team noted that 6% of mask wearers and 83% of non-mask wearers tested SARS-CoV-2 positive. The relative risk of contracting COVID-19 in the community setting was 0.08 for mask wearers." End ID]
Plain text: wear a mask
This is literally the problem. Gong to the store is one of the biggest risks. Do you think COVID can only enter your body if it's around you for more than 30 minutes? Or your COVID particles can't enter someone else's body if you're only around them for 30 minutes? Honestly, I'm so confused.
The chances of a store recycling their air instead of properly ventilating the space is incredibly low, with thoughts like "only for 30 minutes" sets an unreasonably low standard that they don't need to have adequate ventilation which even without a mask can drastically decease transmission or number of viral particles lingering in the space, but without a mask this is not enough to mitigate transmission from you or another person
Mask prevent a majority of transmissible droplets and particles from passing from you to the environment and vice versa
its that time of year where people on tumblr are shouting “if you donate to AO3 and not my personal gofundme you are EVIL”
ok but what are they doing with $270K??
well as it happens, the otw is a nonprofit so they actually make their annual budgeting and expense reports public (spoiler: most of it goes toward servers and paying contractors)
“what are they doing with $270k” is probably the dumbest question you could ask. even without looking at their budget, ao3 is a huge nonprofit website that millions of people access in a single day. probably at the same time as well. there’s tons of data and variables and complex coding involved, what the fuck do you think they’re doing with the money oh my god
hookers and blow, obviously
reblog to increase the hookers and blow budget for the AO3 moderators
feel like it's time for a new one. every reblog removes one HP from charles.
yea sure ill reblog that
tumblr: committing regicide one click at a time
!!!!!!!!!!!
I went through a lot of things after surviving abuse, but one of the things that traumatized me the most was how all the shrinks and counselors treated my anger.
I wish someone had said this to me, instead of making me feel like a monster.
Oof. My therapist always says my anger is a “secondary emotion.” This makes it make sense.
My therapist explained to me that I put shame in the place where anger belongs. That my shame is how I punish myself for not living up to the impossible standards expected of me when I was growing up. Shame made me hate myself. After much counseling and a proper diagnosis, I came to understand what I survived and suffered. My anger is love I have for myself, shame is what got shoved down my throw to smother me. The shame is gone, replaced with anger. I’m now a much happier person because anger can be balanced, shame cannot.

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.
[ID: a CBS news poll from September 21-23, 2022, rendered as a bar graph. The title is "% Who Say They Will Definitely Vote -- Registered Voters By Age."
Age 18-29: 47% Age 30-44: 62% Age 45-64: 82% Age 65+: 91%
end ID]
And that's just the registered voters. How many people under 30 aren't even registered? (And why register to vote if you're not gonna? That's weird to me.)
