they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

Proper boundaries

[showgirlcentralstation]

A lot of people in the notes are misunderstanding this. This isn’t saying it’s wrong to TELL someone not to do something that hurts you.

The point of wording it in this way is to place the power back in your own hands. If you simply tell someone “don’t contact me during this time” or “don’t make fun of me for these sensitive subjects” they are not guaranteed to listen to you. And yes, they’re the asshole in that situation, but knowing that doesn’t help you if they’re still violating your bounds. There’s nothing you can do about that with the “not boundary” examples. Knowing what YOU’LL do to protect your peace of mind is more important. It’s not about threatening them with a consequence, it’s about setting an expectation so that you feel comfortable taking an action that best suits your needs if they aren’t inclined to try to suit your needs themselves.

You deserve to have people take your needs seriously, but if they don’t, it’s unfair to yourself for there to be nothing else you can do. Don’t leave your happiness in their hands and hope they listen. Your wellbeing needs to be in YOUR control ultimately, and setting boundaries in this way guarantees that it is, because you’re effectively saying if you won’t adhere to what I’m comfortable with, I’ll do it FOR you, regardless of whether it makes you happy with me or not.

Here are some examples of boundaries that aren’t actual boundaries.

Not A Boundary: “You can’t email me on the weekends.” A Proper Boundary: “If you email me on the weekend, I will not respond until Monday.”

Not A Boundary: “You can’t talk to me like that.” A Proper Boundary: “If you talk to me like that, I will hang up the phone.”

Not A Boundary: “You need to respect my time.” A Proper Boundary: “I will end the meeting at the scheduled time.”

Not A Boundary: “You need to be more considerate and thoughtful.” A Proper Boundary: “I would like you to do these specific things for me and if you don’t, that’s okay, but I will not invest more time [into] this relationship.”

Not A Boundary: “You need to show up on time.” A Proper Boundary: “If you are late, we will not wait for you.”

Not A Boundary: “You need to give me less work.” A Proper Boundary: “I will not work more than 50 hours a week.”

Not A Boundary: “You need to do a better job.” A Proper Boundary: “If you don’t make these three specific improvements by the end of the quarter, I will give you a negative review.”

Boundaries are not mandates for other people to follow. Boundaries are not demands. Boundaries are not expectations. Boundaries are not ultimatums. Boundaries are not idle threats. Here’s what a boundary is…

It’s a particular course of action YOU take to take care of yourself when a particular set of circumstances arises. That’s it. It’s about what YOU do. Not about what THEY do. Ever.

"ne'er-do-well" is such a harsh criticism like bro ne'er? e'er? like youd think at least some'imes id do well but nope. ne'er

[thispreciousthing]

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Seeing as Twitter is gonna legally steal your work now, please use glaze to protect what you make.

[chromatocloo]

Guys did you hear about Nightshade?

Using both Glaze and Nightshade would corrupt the generation of pictures mimicking artist AND mess with the AI's recognition of what everything is. Like it would generate a dog when you ask for a cat.

And it would be hell for AI bros to remove the cloaked pictures from their database ʕ 👀人ʔ

on her instagram story today (27/01/24) bisan posted a link to a 16 page booklet on common israeli propaganda and how to dismantle it to embolden advocacy for palestine. it includes the “october 7th”, “israel’s right to self defense” and “human shields” talking points to name a few as well as addressing the terminology used to describe palestine and israel and general advocacy advice

download it here

id: a screenshot of wizard_bisan1's instagram story posted 1 hour ago. first is text that says “Hi guys this booklet includes the history of Israhell* Propaganda.. it’s available in Arabic, English, German, Chinese Mandarin.. you can download it and advocate for Palestine”. second is a blue hyperlink reading “link to the booklet”. third is an image of the Advocating For Palestine website showing the front cover of the booklet in english

hi! i'm offering drawings to anyone that donates an e-sim to gaza until 10th february. here is a tutorial on how you can do that, and you can look in the notes of this post for referral codes shared by other people for a discount.

alternatively, you can donate to any one of these instead:

Pious Projects (twitter)

Help Gaza's Children (info + proof of impact)

Care for Gaza (twitter)

Medical Aid for Palestinians (twitter)

Help Ahmed and his family evacuate (his account)

Help Mohamed and his family get medical help and evacuate (post)

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (twitter)

Anera (twitter)

Help a family of 13 evacuate

Urgent support for medical professionals

i know there are many others - if you have donated to one that isn't here, you can still send me a screenshot + link so i can add it to the list :]

i will only accept donations made from 26th jan onwards! send me a screenshot of your receipt with timestamps through DMs or email me at [email protected] (cover your personal details), along with the character you want. if they're from a fandom you haven't seen me draw for, a reference image would be greatly appreciated!

you can honestly donate just like a dollar or two to one of the fundraisers and i will still draw you something - it'll just be very simple! a donation is a donation and every little bit counts

[stil-lindigo]

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

Help a Palestinian children's book illustrator save her family of 12 (Gofundme)

preperations for the long journey ahead, friend

[etherealspacejelly]

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.
