coarse and rough and irritating by frak-all

The first time Ben sees Rey in a bikini, his oafish left hand just sort of spasms around a new tube of Neutrogena SPF 100+ face sunscreen, squeezing hard enough that nearly half its thick white contents erupts—coating his palm, the mirror, and the floor—in one great big mortifying spurt.

It’s a metaphor from the universe even he can’t ignore.

A beach week au that somehow also morphed into a soccer au.

you know I once googled how very organized housewives kept their homes super clean. And one thing they suggested was, if a task can be done in less than 2 minutes, do it right away.

And I have to think about this very often when depression tells me to delay doing things, if it tells me something is too much work right now etc.

If I can do it in less than 2 minutes I can do it no matter how exhausting it seems.

That’s what I tell myself. And it works!

I get more done and after 2 minutes I usually realize the pain doing this thing is not so horrible as my brain suggested. And then I keep going and expand the task and get real work done, holy shit

[fthgurdy]

That’s…. actually brilliant. Two minutes is so short, it’s relatively an easy amount of time to FORCE yourself to work on something, even when you’re just completely deflated.

What works really really well for me is to compound annoying tasks that don’t require much thought with something actually pleasant. It took a long time to find the actual pleasant thing, but with audiobooks I can actually end up looking for chores to do because I want to continue listening to the book, and it doesn’t combine well with anything except the most mindless work.

That’s how I cleaned my bathroom top to bottom two weeks ago, after barely being able to pick up empty loo rolls from the floor for…well, months.

[timemachineyeah]

At my worst places in mental and/or physical health, instead of setting to complete a task, I’d just set to work as long as a song or playlist was on. And there were some really short songs. And really short playlists.

Like I might use are “A Working Day” by Ben Folds or “Happy Working Song” from Enchanted. They’re both about two minutes. I’d do those. Or if I did the playlist? It’s 17 minutes total.

I’ve even been listening to podcasts and been like “I will get up and clean for as long as they are running their mid-episode ads.”

And yeah, a good portion of the time, getting up to do that small amount, while giving myself permission to do no more, was all I needed to find the juice to actually keep going. The song or playlist or ad break finishes and I go “actually, I can finish this pile of dishes, since I’m already here.”

But if it doesn’t? If I reach the end of that and go “okay, I’m done. I’m not gonna do any more,” that’s great! I did something, which is what matters. And I did what I told myself I would do, so I haven’t failed my goal.

Trevor discusses Black Lives Matter, Colin Kaepernick and more with Tomi Lahren.

If you “don’t see color,” then you can’t acknowledge that someone who is a different race than you has different experiences than you.

If you “don’t see color,” then you can ignore it when there are protests that another black child or teenager was killed by a police officer, because you don’t see that as a racial issue.

If you “don’t see color,” you can’t acknowledge that other people DO and they treat said people accordingly. You can’t acknowledge your privilege and then how could you ever hope to stand up and say that it’s wrong? Because being the benefitting party doesn’t excuse your ignorance and neglect. And I can’t help but notice that it’s only white people who say they can’t see color. When you ask people of color, they can’t not see it because it defines many aspects of their lives and their interactions with the world.

I’m definitely not demanding it or saying you have to, but readers quoting back their favorite lines/moments of a fic/chapter is the absolute best, and every single one of you who has ever done this deserves to find $20 on the ground. Not all heroes wear capes, y’know?
