It's time for me to leave Tumblr.

As much as I love some parts of this website (the social justice education in particular), there are quite a few things that outweigh it:

staff​ censoring the Ferguson tag

staff​ deleting everything about Leelah

staff​ not deleting the blogs of neo-nazis and kkk members

staff​ giving us lousy updates we didn’t ask for and not even testing them first

staff​ slowly adding ads onto our dashboards

staff​ putting a download button on music posts to draw more users and then deleting blogs for posting music, all while displaying a “save the internet” button

staff never giving us a reliable method of entirely blocking users

the addictiveness of the site (I can’t even imagine how much time leaving will free up for me, or how much more productive I’ll become b/c of it)

etc

I will be leaving my blogs up, but to avoid the temptation of coming back I’m asking my best friend to log in and change my password. If you want to find me elsewhere, here you go:

ello

etsy

goodreads

instagram

skittlr

and you can ask for my facebook if we’re mutuals

I’ll crosspost this to all my other blogs as well, and stick around for another week (Friday, Feb 27th) while I go through them and save the stuff I need/want to save, but after that I’m out of here. 

Au revoir, everyone! It’s been fun up til now.

Props to you for being able to do this!

Thanks! I should've left long ago purely b/c of the addictiveness part, but I needed a push

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.

"Icarus. The original myth had two parts. Daedalus said to his son, ‘I fashioned these wings for you. Two rules. Don’t fly too high, or the sun will melt the wax. But, more important, son, don’t fly too low. Because if you fly too low, the water and the waves will surely weigh down the wings, and you will die.’ We’ve left out the second part of the myth. We don’t say to people anymore, ‘Don’t fly too low.’ All we do from the time they are 4 years old is warn them against hubris. We have created this industrially led structure that says: How dare you."

Seth Godin (via petrak)

flying too high melted his wings, yea, but it was the ocean that killed him in the end

my aesthetic is eye makeup that could be from last night, last week, or last year and lipstick that looks like it's freshly applied every time you turn your back for .02 seconds

”Some people get the wrong idea, you know. If you’re quiet and you’re just not the most gregarious person, that you’re like.. I don’t know, self-involved, rude possibly, frigid. I get that a lot from people who don’t know me, like online all you guys think I never smile, ever. It’s not true. I do smile sometimes.”

[Self Care When You Don’t Have the Spoons for Showering

1. Keep face wipes and deodorant by your bed. They’re easy and can make a huge difference in how you feel

2. Take sink showers. Washing your hair and face in the sink quickly works especially well if you’re a survivor having anxiety about being naked (yes, that’s totally normal)

3. Invest in a dry shampoo. You can use it in bed or sitting down on days when you can’t get up, it’s super easy, and it gets rid of oily hair really quickly

4. Use scented body lotion to make yourself smell nice- it’s grounding and makes you feel soft and clean without much effort

5. Air fresheners and scented candles can make your room smell nice and make you feel more fresh and together

6. Wear your favorite cozy clothes

7. Spray your favorite perfume on your clothes if you can’t handle changing out of pajamas

8. Sometimes if you use easy makeup products tinted lip balms can help you trick yourself into thinking you feel better]

These “no rinse” products, including the shampoo cap and the no-rinse shampoo and body wash, are also helpful:

Shampoo cap

Other products

They have both rinses/shampoos/washes which you dilute in warm water (and then use a washcloth to clean yourself) as well as wipes and the shower cap linked above which can be warmed up in the microwave.

I have moderately sensitive skin, and the shower cap and body wash we used for my partner after his surgery did not irritate my skin. YMMV, of course.

I thought you’d come back, a ghost, sinking your teeth into my unbrave throat. Or, sometimes brave. Watching my eyes in the mirror, watching myself swallow pill after pill. I mouth your name, I mouth Sappho, I mouth your name in Sappho’s mouth. That is not true. The pills were before you, before God, before my red mouth had had its fill. There is only cowardice, my father says, his eyes black with grief, as he unhooks the stove, as you’d unhooked my words from my throat.
