are you all a “i haven’t changed my pfp or url since forever” kind of person or a “if i don’t change my pfp/url every once in a while i feel like i’m gonna implode” kind of person

[ruggedrookie]

“gender and sexuality are separate concepts” and “my gender and my sexuality are inherently connected in ways i cannot articulate clearly with words” are concepts that can and do coexist

drugs being illegal is literally so stupid it's just so dumb. everyone does drugs. literally almost everyone does drugs and we're all supposed to pretend like we care and think it's wrong. we're all supposed to pretend like we think people should go to jail for doing drugs when literally everyone does drugs all the time and nobody cares. Come on

[utopians]

like if you found out your neighbor was growing like. shrooms. and you marched over there and forced them into your basement at gunpoint and left them locked down there for ten years everyone would recognize that as an utterly deranged thing to do. an utterly serial killer type move. but when the state does it we're all supposed to pretend like it's normal and we agree with it

If you live completely alone here’s your friendly reminder to step outside for a bit before the worse part of the existential dread starts to set in again.

You know the one. The layer underneath the regular existential dread that you only get to access if you don’t leave your apartment for three days.

Go to a coffee shop or walk your dog or something.

I’m obviously calling myself out here but seriously dude at least buy a soda from the 7/11 or something.

[aeolianblues]

Talk to yourself out loud. Play your music out loud. Laugh out loud when the chance arises. That feeling when you haven't used your voice for a while, or the silence that comes from a lack of human voices is a one-stop ticket to The Dread.

the new counterculture needs to be anything that involves zero makeup and curation. the revolution will not be ‘content creator’-able.

[havingrevelations-deactivated20]

im 100% serious. aliexpress fishnets and tiktok tutorial eyeliner is not punk. wearing a tshirt from 5 years ago with a simple, functional hairstyle is punk. in the age of aestheticisation rebellion cannot have an appearance because every ‘look’ is infected by capitalism. wear what you have. women, ask yourselves ‘would a man do this to their appearance in the same circumstances’ and if not, don’t do it. concealer exists to cause you mental anguish. ‘-core’ exists to cause your wallets to empty. refuse culture of perfection and accept the messiness and asymmetry of a human body. if your first thought is “but i will look ugly” ask yourself why you think an unmodified human body is ugly. secondly ask yourself why you are so afraid of that. reject the veneer, reject the facade. become un-commodifiable. the revolution will not be marketed

[notabled-noodle]

actually I do wish more people would just tell me when I do something wrong! it’s usually an accident that happens because I’ve misread the situation

I’ve had far too many friendships disintegrate because the other person never tells me when I do the wrong thing, and then they grow to resent me… despite them never being clear about what went wrong in the first place

the kindest thing you can do for your autistic friends is probably to be clear with them when they cross a line. to tell them kindly and politely what went wrong. to do them the service of communicating with them

because otherwise, how can I possibly know there’s a problem that I need to fix?

making art is just like showering………can’t get up and do it, can’t stop when you’ve started. you want to crawl out of your skin if you don’t do it often enough. everything in the world is the exact same

Pakistan pleads for international help as parts of country 'resemble a small ocean'

Pakistan is racing to prevent further loss of life as it reels from one of its worst climate disasters with floodwater threatening to cover

Idk where you're getting those numbers. It's predicted that up to a one quarter to a third of the country could be underwater by the end of monsoon season.

Nearly 500k homes have been destroyed and as of this article published this morning, August 29th, more than 3.1 million have been displaced.

Here are some aid organizations you can donate to (don't worry, I looked into them and checked Charity Navigator and stuff). You can also call on your country's government to provide aid and if you live in a country participating in the IMF you can urge them to send IMF aid too https://www.imf.org/en/Countries

In light of the recent incel post, If I could give these young men any piece of advice, it would be to take a cooking class.

Being able to cook a delicious meal is one of the most genuinely attractive skills a person can have. It's inherently empathetic, demonstrates dexterity and technical knowledge, and gives you an excuse to do an activity with someone else.

Plus learning to cook is a skill that can go a LONG way to building self confidence and self love. It's a skill where failure is cheap and often easy to correct and success only makes you better. People who need more structure can follow recipes, but there is always room for experimentation.

Most of all though, cooking for someone is a gesture of many different kinds of love. Theres no better way to make new friends than showing up somewhere with a box of fresh made brownies, or a loaf of fresh bread. It's a good way to skip over the annoying parts of meeting someone, and get right to the good stuff.

frothing at the mouth over the sheer number of undeclared allergens in both prescription and otc meds

[ashenprincx]

ID: screenshot of tags via @deathcallsmedaddy reading "#but how do you feel about it #on a scale of one to ten #how bad is the frothing?" End ID.

we are at a fucking 12/10

"Worryingly, they discovered that 93 percent of medications contain allergens, including lactose, dyes, and peanut oil. Almost all medicines contain ingredients that some people might not be able to tolerate, such as gluten."

and medications have none of the same requirements to label allergens as foods, and supplements don't even need to be truthful about their content. im currently having to go through and throw out/replace my medications bc I recently had an allergy escalate to "potentially deadly" and am now finding that process was helped by the fucking thing being hidden in half my fucking medications

so yeah for anyone with moderate to severe allergies, check ALL the meds you take, especially if you're reacting and don't know why.

[ashenprincx]

this is one of those "reblog to actually save a life" things i think

[ashenprincx]

Im begging the people leaving dumb comments on this to realize this isn't just about being able to tell what top 3 allergens are in a med, its about it 1. people with uncommon allergens being fucked over by hidden ingredients, and 2. people with any allergies not being able to find meds or having to pay a fuck ton more to get them compounded because companies dump fillers full of potential allergens into meds to save money. this is both a safety and accessibility issue.
