So, I tried.

Adulthood is great they said, everything will make sense they said. Well either they said a bunch of lies or I didn't catch the memo explaining things that help you function properly.

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK

Boy, I'm starting to feel attacked.

a baby can be born right now at 12:00, on a wednesday, august 24 in new jersey while another baby is also born in the exact same moment but they are born 9:00, on a tuesday, august 23 in california, these babies that are born at the same moment are technically because of time zones, a concept that we created ourselves, born “hours” apart even though really they are born at the same moment just not the same “time”, one will be considered older even though in actuality they are the same

Hazel Scott playing two pianos at the same damn time with ease

[erinbowbooks]

Hazel Scott was a musical sorcerer and a civil rights hero.   She:

 was admitted to Julliard at 8.  

was performing in top venues by 16.  

pioneered “swinging the classics” and made the equivalent of a million dollars a year doing it.  

was the first person of color to have their own national TV show.  

went to Hollywood but refused to be cast as a “singing maid.”  Demanded and got control over her casting, her wardrobe, and how footage featuring her was cut.  

refused to perform in segregated venues and led charges for integration in several northern cities, notably Spokane.  

She was brought down by the House Committee on Unamerican Activities, and has been largely forgotten.  But she was a sorcerer, and a hero.

NASA created retro travel posters for different locations in our solar system in hopes of inspiring young people to imagine a future where common space travel is a possibility.

Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.

[imnotreallyherecheckagainlater]

what book is this?

[tehbewilderness]

This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS. The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.

[queen-mayhem]

Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?

That is how we stop abuse.

We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.

[bhuttu]

Arm yrself with knowledge!

[birkenth0t]

Changed my life, would reccomend.

Heads up guys. It moved again. https://www.pdf-archive.com/2015/10/21/why-does-he-do-that/ But if it breaks just use the sites custom search. :3 That’s how I found it.

“I didn’t cry for the first time since then until 2014. Growing up, especially as a black man, you have to be that much better, that much stronger than your counterparts. Crying is for weak people. You don’t want to be weak; you want to be strong. So I put that away a long time ago. I didn’t cry at my grandmother’s funeral. That was the person who raised me along with my mother. I remember being there, everyone else bawling, and I had no emotional anything. It pissed me off. I wanted to cry but I couldn’t. And in 2014, I don’t know what the hell I was doing, but one day I was outside walking, thinking about her, because I always thought about her, and something happened and I just fucking bawled for hours. To the point where my eyes were fucking swollen. Ever since then, I let things affect me and receive people as they come, which is dangerous because half the people in the world don’t give a fuck about you. I don’t even know if these people are real, to be honest with you. It’s stupid to let people affect you. But like you, you’re a genuine person. This is a real moment. We’re the same and this is beautiful. This is rare, but when you find that it’s the best thing. That’s something that I seek out. It’s fucking addicting. You let that happen and everything in life feels better.”
