Tumblr has become a place where it's socially acceptable to say "i want to kill myself" and people be like "mood"

Be able to talk to the three people I eat lunch with

[flightofthefantasies]

Have a life?

[beardburnsupersoldiers]

I'd feel so much more confident about being social, taking chances, and do much better with change.

[theeoddity]

this internship would not be as hard as it is

[kermitkemistry]

Tell the guy I work with I like him

[millyevansforreal]

Allow myself to like people without the constant fear of rejection/embarrassing myself.

[heccinfightme]

I'd be more social at my job and school, I'd stop freaking out over the small things, I'd be more confident in the things I do, and I'd be able to stand up for and express myself.

To be able to help people in general without second guessing or hesitation my every move

Ursula

I actually have so many head canons about Ursula. My biggest one being she actually used to be human.

Which I think would actually make sense, given the proof we get in “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, and the appearance she chooses when she casts the spell to become human. 

So starting with the song. She talks about men’s behaviours and preferences as someone who was trained to appease them. By that I mean she was probably from a wealthy family, and her mother often gave her the same advice she gave Ariel “But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who’s withdrawn. It’s she who holds her tongue who gets a man.”

The appearance she chooses, you would think–if she were trying to convince Eric that it was her that was singing, she would go for a look more similar to Ariel. But really the only things they have in common are their general (standard Disney) body shape and skin colour. Instead she chooses someone who looks nothing like Ariel.

NEXT, her general behaviour. When Ariel became human she was a real fish out of water hahahhahaha. But no really, she sucked, and this isn’t just because of Scuttle’s misguidance. Dancing, walking, general society. These are things Ursula adjusts to in literally a matter of minuets. Probably because she’s been through it all before.

So my theory. And I’ve spent years cultivating this. Ursula was a lady, born into a wealthy family. There was a lot expected from her, mainly to keep her mouth shut and just think of london. But as demonstrated in the movie, that aint Ursula. What is Ursula is power, and when she found a way to access power beyond man (magic) she practised it. And she was good, really good. Eventually she met others who could preform magic, eventually she met a man who could also preform and they fell in love. Like most people who love each other they want to be together forever, so they started theorizing and coming up with ways to become immortal. They found a spell, old and evil that involved numerous difficultly acquired things. One of those things being mermaids blood. 

In the second movie (which I don’t really like and completely discount for this theory) Triton says mermaids were hunted, thats how his wife died. 

As punishment for hunting these mermaids, Triton punished Ursula. Her punishment, an eternity banished to the sea–away from the man she loves, forced to live alone as that squid thing. This would explain why she wants to be human again. But even more why she wants revenge against Triton. He took away her life. 

So yeah, there you go, a random head canon by Shy.

You CANNOT serve from an empty vessel but go off I guess

[i-have-n0-idea-what-im-d0ing-de]

OP what does this mean?

[sandersstudies]

When your friends are hungry, you cannot serve them from an empty breadbasket, no matter how good your intentions. When they're thirsty, you cannot serve them from an empty pitcher, no matter the effort you put in.

We have to stock ourselves with good things before we are able to give them away, and if we are too exhausted to make bread, we must rest before we can make it to serve our friends. If we are too hungry to serve, we must eat some bread ourselves first.

It's a metaphor for emotional exhaustion. When we wear ourselves down it makes it difficult or impossible to help the people around us, and all the effort and good intentions in the world can't make up for the fact that our vessels are empty. It's hard to not want to serve when our friends are in trouble, but trying to serve from an empty vessel often leaves both of you floundering.

On the contrary, when we care for ourselves and are kind to our body and mind, we are full vessels, and serving the people around us becomes easier. That's why it's important to take time for ourselves once in a while, to refill ourselves with good things.

[cluegrrl]

In the event of a sudden pressure change, put on your own oxygen mask before helping a companion with theirs if needed.

[ailithnight]

I have never seen this concept so perfectly and eloquently articulated.

You cannot serve from an empty vessel.

[donnaintx]

This is so true! Thank you for reminding me of this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the reminder

Capitalism will put the bill on your grave and harass your grieving family until they pay

[theludicrousrival]

One of my cousins passed away unexpectedly at the age of 35, and had been paying back a loan from the bank. About two weeks after his death, my great aunt received a statement from the bank (his mail was being delivered to her house) about a late payment. She called the bank and explained the situation and the only thing a manager could say was “Well, that’s unfortunate. We can arrange so payments will resume in 30 days, that should be enough time to have already paid for the other arrangements.”

On top of the unexpected $10,000 funeral, cremation and burial bill, my aunt had to finish paying my uncle’s $5,000 loan. She’s a disabled retiree, on a fixed income, and could barely afford to pay for her insulin for diabetes. She nearly lost her home of more than 40 years. Fuck the system.

[lawful-evil-novelist]

She didn’t need to pay. When people die, their debts are not their family’s responsibility.

In fact, it is outright illegal to try and collect those debts from a person who didn’t cosign the loan and isn’t executing the will.

Debts and Deceased Relatives

Who is responsible for paying off the debts of your deceased relatives?

Here’s a link to the detail on that one.

[eudoxiav]

Banks count on people not knowing that last comment so that they can still get money

[niniblack]

They really do.

My great-grandmother had her identity stolen before she died at the age of 93, and thousands of charges were racked up on credit cards in her name. After she passed away, they called my mother to try and collect. My mom laughed at them, and told them: “She’s dead, good luck collecting.” The credit card asked my mother, “Don’t you want to clear your grandmother’s debts? Don’t you want to clear her good name?” My mom laughed at them again. “No,” she said. “Because a 90 year old wasn’t watching porn with those credit cards, and her name is fine. Don’t give credit cards to old women likely to pass away soon. This is on you.”

Which is how I learned as a young child to always question collection agents, and to never pay off debts that aren’t your own. They often can’t even collect that money from the estate, if there is one, depending on how you write your will and what kind of account the money was kept in.

Let's do this 😁

[halftruthsandhyperbole]

Today I learned

[ouijubell]

Free Audiobooks and Ebooks on OVERDRIVE.

Free Graphic Novels (DC, Marvel, Image, etc), Music, TV shows, and music on HOOPLA.

Free music that you can KEEP on FREEGAL

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

[horrorinthegraveyard]

Hey, highkey from a library worker: 

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use.  It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.  

[tusks-and-tonics-deactivated202]

Can confirm Overdrive is amazing. 

I work in the largest library system in my state (17 branches in total).

I use it not only for ebooks, but movies as well.

Other FREE resources to check with your library for are:

Freegal Music (download and keep music, including current music)

Hoopla Digital (borrow ebooks, e-audiobooks, e-graphic novels, stream movies)

Kanopy (stream movies; also available on Roku!)

Axis360 (usually hot or just released ebooks)

If you don’t have a library card…

GET ONE!

If someone says libraries are a thing of the past…

BOOP THEM IN THE NOSE WITH YOUR KINDLE!

Don’t discount libraries as “quiet” places. 

THEY ARE ALIVE!!!

THEY ARE LOUD!!!

THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!

[yeahiwasintheshit]

no need to give your money to any of those places, go to your library!!

kanopy is great!

small and easy health tips that make a lot of difference

wash your face every night - washcloth, warm water, and a simple cleanser will do wonders. plus, warm water helps make you all sleepy for bed

take a multivitamin every day - and keep an eye open for coupons for them. usually multivitamins have some pretty great coupons

if you can, open the windows every once in a while. fresh air does a lot of good for your body (and state of mind)!

keep a few cleaning supplies in the bathroom. every so often after having a shower, give things a quick wipe-down. the steam from the shower dislodges any sink guck, making the job much easier - and never underestimate the power of a clean bathroom for both physical and mental health

keep a water bottle by the bed and drink some water when you wake up. it’ll help you greet the day a little easier, and plus - whose mouth ISN’T as dry as the sahara when they wake up?

it’s not always easy, but try to make doing dishes before turning in for the night a habit. i can’t express how lovely it is to wake up and walk into a clean and tidy kitchen

keep snacks in the fridge that are delicious and healthy - my faves are strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and grapes. i love snacks. plus, there’s not really much prep involved with those kinds of things

sweep! sweeping takes up a bit more physical energy, but it’s become one of my favourite things to do. i put on some nice music and visualize sweeping out not only dirt, but anything else clouding up my space - negative energy, self doubt, etc. it’s a nice, witchy little ritual for me now.

light a candle, specifically one that smells delicious

identify the things that make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings and prioritize them and only them when you’re feeling sucky. that way, you still feel accomplished, but you aren’t using up all your mental and physical energy trying to run through all your tasks/cleaning/etc

remember that you’re doing these things for you, and not anyone else. you deserve to feel happy and at ease!

[deactivated-blog]

I do some of these but the rest, hmm I would love to start trying out!
