resilience is not sustainable we are not supposed to endure life we are supposed to live it

A part of being an adult is living with regret and not allowing it to consume you. The older you get, the more mistakes you’ve made, opportunities you’ve missed, people you’ve disappointed. And every day you have to remind yourself to be kind and forgiving of yourself. You accept and love the you from the past and understand that it’s all a part of the process. Then you move on and live your best life, knowing now as old as you feel today, you’ll never be this young again.

I thought it would delight you to know that ants do have a sort of funeral mound for their dead

yes there is a name for this! necrophoresis is a process with social insects where the bodies are taken to a specific location on the outside of ( or within ) the nest - ants tend to keep them all in the same place, and the way an ant is signaled to be "dead" by its other members is through the release of a chemical called oliec acid

theres even been a few experiments where live ants were coated in the same chemical and other ants treated the live ants....exactly as though they were dead and tried dragging them into the pile

Friendly reminder to not support Autism speaks this April

They demonize autistics and make it look like having an autistic child is the worst thing that could happen to a parent

They aren’t run by autistics

They support autism moms™ that have written books detailing how “hard” it is for them. The books further push the stereotype that autistic children are out of control.

They have made advertisements saying autism will “ruin marriages.”

They don’t hire or listen to autistic people

They push for a cure for all autism. (In my opinion, a treatment for severe autism wouldn’t be that bad, so that people could choose live a life without the complications of severe cases, like meltdowns, sensory issues, and communication problems. But they want to cure all autism, and make it seem like it’s horrible.)

Support the Autism Self Advocacy Network instead!

It is run by autistics, for autistics.

Nothing about us without us!

(Also, if someone could add some links to the ads or stories I mentioned, that’d be amazing. I can’t rn, I’m in class.)

female influencers are like hehe iilove self care and being skinny :). male influencers are like every day i wake up at 5:00 AM and take an icy cold shower. instead of using a towel i let the wind dry me off naturally while i run for 20 miles with no music to reset my dopamine receptors. my eyes remain downcast the whole time because i must not witness anything beautiful like trees or the sunrise or else i may feel pleasure. for breakfast i consume a smoothie made from a deer heart, acid (LSD and battery), bluechew tablets, and a cocktail of off-label russian antidepressants rebranded to the western consumer as nootropics. also if you are poor, fat, or crazy i hate you and would kill you if it were legal

So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.

There’s just

so many of these

and I think it’s incredibly funny but

I just read this bit from the artist and

This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.

And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.
