How to survive a depressive episode, short fiction by Arfie

But it doesn’t start like that. It’s starts like, waking up to your alarm but making the decision to sleep through class anyways. Or, like, ignoring text messages and crossing the street prematurely to avoid speaking to a friend. Being a master at avoiding. Avoiding the weird stomach pain that you get remembering that class you skipped. Avoiding thinking about food because you haven’t eaten in 24 hours. Avoiding sleep, that one is hard for you. There’s a healthy level of concern. Are you feeling down? From your mother. Are you sure you don’t want me to pick something up for you? From your roommate, she’s going to Trader Joe’s. The girl in your French class you text compulsively for notes isn’t ignoring you yet, so you don’t fail. You’re ok. It’s a slump.

And then, from there, a little worse. It’s not a gnawing now, it’s bloody. You sleep on your back and try to ignore it. You muster up some energy to shower, you look at yourself in the mirror. Someone teary eyed and pimply is looking at you, we’re here again aren’t we?

Sometimes

Knitting stresses me out. I don’t know why, but it does.

girlfriend just delivered me a box of candy canes and here is my new personality test to replace MBTI or astrology or whatever

the Cruncher: you start at the hook end and chew your candy cane to pieces. you are forthright and impatient. behind your back people call you an asshole, but lovingly. how do you cope with that much hard candy stuck in your teeth.

the Snapper: you start at the hook end and snap off bite-sized pieces, eating each piece before you unwrap the next segment. you are life’s natural planner. so orderly you probably use colour-coded excel spreadsheets for your groceries. you never forget to do all that seasonal cleaning apartment therapy tells me to do and i never do. like dusting your baseboards. you probably do that.

the Unwrapper: you start at the long end and unwrap the whole thing so you can clutch it stickily in your bare hands. you beautiful rule-breaking moth. nobody should touch a candy cane with their bare fingers. what is wrong with you.

the Shiv: you start at the long end and suck it into the deadliest seasonal weapon. you definitely have siblings. probably you were raised in a household where weapons as toys were discouraged. probably you’re also kind of awkwardly masochistic.

side note. if you like the fruit flavoured candy cane better than the peppermint one, you’re wrong. straight-up just wrong.

[kaitmint]

Can we add the Stalemate? Because I like year old candy canes that are a little chewy, then I chew them.

my friends introducing me to ppl

[npr]

When the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga (then Aiko Yoshinaga) was a senior at Los Angeles High School.

She remembers the day the following spring that her principal took the Japanese students aside and said, “You’re not getting your diplomas because your people bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Japanese-American families on the West Coast were rounded up and sent to internment camps. Yoshinaga was worried that she would be separated from her boyfriend, so to the horror of her parents, Yoshinaga and her boyfriend eloped.

The Yoshinaga family was sent to the Santa Anita, Calif., detention center, and later to Jerome, Ark. Meanwhile, Yoshinaga and her new in-laws were sent to Manzanar, near Death Valley. Yoshinaga remembers their first day as hot and dusty, even though it was only April. The barracks where the family lived were crowded and sparsely decorated.

At 92, A Japanese-American Reflects On The Lessons Of Internment Camps

Photo: Lauren Migaki/NPR Caption: Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga was a high school senior when she entered the Manzanar internment camp. Now 92, she points to the place in Manzanar, near Death Valley in California, where she lived.

i like to imagine that clark kent’s search history is mostly normal but then there’s stuff like “improved superman costume concept art” because he wanted ideas

[unpretty]

#what would you even do as an artist #if one day superman is just wearing a costume that is clearly your design #like superman was clearly looking at your deviantart #there is a chance that superman saw that art you drew of him kissing batman #why is he wearing the costume you designed #is he trying to send a message #is he saying that he really does smooch batman #did superman see your kryptosona #how much does he know 

someone said they wanted to be able to reblog this with my horrible tags

[reallyohcrap]

no but like… do you sue him for using your designs? Do you politely ask him to stop using your designs? Do you ask him for license fees when the Superman merchandise adopts your design as well? 

[unpretty]

i am absolutely sure that he would find one with an artist’s comment/description that included “hey superman if you’re reading this feel free to use this anytime ok ;3″ and he would say “oh man that’s so thoughtful, thank you weedhorse69, I think I will” and like how do you explain in court that you, weedhorse69, did not intend for your statement to be any kind of contractual offer because you did not think he would ever find your public internet post with his name all over it

[mellytonin]

#people are reblogging the version of this without my final addition#offended that i would suggest clark kent wouldn’t credit the artist#missing what i consider to be the obvious facts of the matter#it’s probably a costume designed out of pure thirst too like#weedhorse69 is gonna keep his mouth shut because this way he gets to watch superman#running around town in a costume that really shows off his biceps and abs#he thought it looked summery#the league holds an intervention asking him to please stop wearing it#he does not stop no one can stop him#batman v superman II: clark please put on a real shirt

detail of a one-page comic i’m submitting to Resist this week 👀💦

[wetwareproblem]

Unfriendly fucking reminder that the best predictor of mass shootings is not mental illness, but being an angry young white man who has recently experienced rejection and has easy access to guns.

[wetwareproblem]

Bringing this back because it makes terrible people angry. And I’ll add a note to all the people saying “But you’d have to be mentally ill to do that!”: Mental illness is, by definition, abnormal. Does “mediocre white boy is so entitled that he resorts to violence when told no” really sound particularly unusual to you?

You know what I’ve come to Realize?

Its not cute to date a guy who thinks it’s “hot” that you’re bisexual. It’s not cute to sit with them and “check out” other girls together. 

Why you ask? 

because it invalidates your affection to the same sex. It’s him saying that he doesn’t feel threatened by another woman entering your life, or your bed, because he is the man and he’ll always be better. It’s NOT having an open mind about sexuality. Telling me that it’s ok if i make out with other girls as long as I tell you about it, is NOT OK. 

It took me a long time to realize this and cut myself off from this toxicity. Yes, I loved you, yes a little part of me always will. But little. like an ingrown hair that never comes out. I’m not saying that my love for you will never die and they’ll always be what if, and I’ll always love you, [insert other sappy cliches here] I’m saying thank you for that blip of love for you in my life. 

I’m happy now. And I’ll fall for who I want. And I won’t tell you about it, because honestly, I don’t trust you. I don’t trust that you won’t jerk off thinking about the girl I really like and me. And I don’t want to have to think about that because it’s not fair to her. and me. And I still don’t know what to say when people ask if I’m a lesbian. I’ve always liked every type of human. But right now I’m coming face to face will all the misogyny I’ve been facing in my life and kind of hating all men. I know this is wrong and I shouldn’t, and I’m going back in that direction I swear, but I hit a snag in my plans on Nov. 8.

So I love you, I love me, I love women, I love men, I love trans people, I love queer people. I’m just ranting. And procrastinating. 

Thanks for listening.

when boys have sleepovers do they sleep in the same bed like girls do or do the rules of no homo include sharing beds

[lesbianshadowheart]

#girls share beds?

[hell-born-rising-demon-deactiva]

Girls share everything.

Dr. Seuss was not even in the general area of fucking around.

#everyone thinks of dr seuss as some sweet old guy who wrote kids books and made up cute words#little do they know he was the most hardcore political motherfucker to ever draw cartoons for newspapers of all time basically#he was of german and jewish descent and got bullied a lot as a kid#then he grew up and drew cartoons for the school paper#and when he got fired for being to fucking real for the paper to handle he made up a new name and KEPT SUBMITTING THEM ANYWAY#BECAUSE HE NEVER FUCKED AROUND FOR A SECOND#DID YOU KNOW DR SEUSS DID A FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY AFTER WWII ABOUT HOW WWII WASN’T ACTUALLY OVER AND THE NAZIS WERE STILL ALL AROUND#IT WAS CREEPY AS ALL FUCK AND MORE HARDCORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW#IT WON A FUCKING OSCAR OR SOME SHIT#HE DID KIDS BOOKS ON A WHIM HIS REAL TALENT WAS DISMANTLING FASCIST REGIMES WITH ADORABLE BLACK AND WHITE SKETCHES OF TURTLES#OH YEAH AND YURTLE THE TURTLE WAS ABOUT HITLER#AND THE SNEECHES WERE ABOUT SEGREGATION#SO FUCK Y’ALL AND YOUR CANDY-ASS VISION OF DR SEUSS

Also the Pro-life movement used his line “a person’s a person no matter how small” on their literature without his permission, and he made them stop using it an apologize because he was pro-choice.

I used to think this but then I realized a few things:

When I’m in a trusting relationship I don’t feel the need to check in on or force the presence of the other person. 

If I’m drunk I’m most likely with my friends and I don’t want to tear my time away from them to text someone that isn’t there. 

When I don’t receive drunk texts I know it’s because my s/o is enjoying their time with their friends/ having a good time/ has passed out.

I am not their keeper, I do not need to be barraged by messages of love/ frustration/ hidden sober thoughts (which can indicate a bad relationship or just self issues with showing intimacy, I’ve done this)

If I trust someone and they trust me, this shouldn’t be a “requirement” for them to be the one. 

AND If I’m in the same place as the person I’m dating, I’m most likely with them or will end up with them at the end of the night and don’t need drunk texts.

This is just a way to normalize an unhealthy action. Drunk texts should be the same as sober texts, stop hiding your feelings.
