“beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful; even if I am not graceful or lovely I will find happiness and joy in dancing and movement, because–I have spent too much of my life hunched in on myself ashamed of the way I slouch and walkz I will release myself from shame and self-vigilance and run and twirl and leap as my joy decrees.”

flash games actually raised me more than my parents did and im genuinely gonna miss them

[cerastes]

You don’t have to miss them, you literally can keep playing them, they are being archived.

Also Newgrounds has been preparing for this for years now and they made their own free software that can still run Flash games.

*taps mic* Uptown Funk is definitively a Kingston Brown song. Let's review the evidence:

Kingston Brown from Uptown/ Uptown Funk you up

"Too hot, make a dragon wanna retire man," and how did Kingston get appointed Vox Populi? Exactly.

"If we show up we gon show out, smoother than a fresh jar of skippy" Name one place the dream team showed up and didn't steal the show. Nod? The Art Show? The Play? The Stock exchange? Unstoppable.

"Don't believe me? just watch" You think Kingston is all talk? It's all fun and games til he shows up and almost one shots an entire room full of vampires (legendary resistance saved them from being piles of ash)

"If you freaky then flaunt it, don't brag about it just show me" King of self expression, unmatched in the ways of "speak softly and carry a big stick"

The defense rests, your honor

[video description: a white person with short light brown hair and some stubble. they are wearing a black shirt and a fiery looking mask around their neck. as they speak, some captions appear on screen reiterating the points they are making.

“ADHD tip! i use this one more than any other one by far. (except, for white board of course)” [smiles and there is a heart emoji on the screen]

“if there’s something you have to do but you’ve avoided starting doing it, think of the smallest amount of time that you know you can force yourself to do, and set a timer for that amount, and do it for that amount of time. and then once the timer’s up, you can stop.”

“now you might be thinking, [higher-pitched voice] hey eric i have ADHD i’m supposed to be wanting to complete stuff and stuff, why would i want to quit in the middle of a task?! well i would say not starting a task at all is a much bigger problem than not completing it. and, once you’ve started it it’s much easier to keep going.”

“for example, i needed to clean my kitchen yesterday, and i could not get myself to start doing it. but i thought, i can definitely clean my kitchen for three minutes. so i started a timer for three minutes and started doing the stuff. and when the timer was up, i thought well, i... i can do another three minutes. and so i did. and then when that was up, i was like, goin’. and if you stop after the initial timer goes off, you succeeded in your goal of doing the thing for that amount of time!”

[yelling] “use those timers!!!”

I do this all the time. 

Just five minutes. Just clean for 5 minutes. Just do work for 5 minutes. Just 5 minutes. Honestly with executive dysfunction (a huge part of adhd) it’s so hard to START DOING. It’s easier to KEEP DOING. Plus, 5 minutes now, means less time later when I am in a panic trying to get the Thing Done. It saves so much time in the end. As well as my mental health lol 

[blueelectricangels]

Yeah at this point this is the only way to make me look at my thesis, between the anxiety and the ADHD.

Set the timer for 30 min (15 if it’s a bad day), and make a deal with myself that thesis is the only thing that will happen during that time but if I do it for that time i can go do something else.

Usually once i’ve managed to actually open the file, it’s not that bad, and i’ll do thesis for half an hour, junebug for half an hour, repeat until i fill with too much rage and then i put the thesis down for the day. But even if I only manage that first half-hour (or 15 min) that day, it’s at least something.

I work retail, and have for many years now. I'm not an easily fazed person and have a Talk No Shit, Take No Shit mentality. However, I also have a pretty intense anxiety disorder on top of other mental health issues and when I started 6+ years ago there were some customers who got to me.

So, to all the workers facing Karens and Kens out in the wild, here's my advice - cry.

If you have the type of relationships with your coworkers and managers that will support you, don't try to hold it in. Cry like the overworked, underpaid peon you are.

Nothing terrifies an asshole Karen like the indisputable proof that their actions/words are affecting you as a real live person. They feel perfectly entitled to cuss out a cashier over a wrong order/no cash policy/ face mask mandate but when that person starts to cry and asks them why they'd say such mean things? A whole other story, my friend.

There's no way to make that situation look good to the manager they demanded to speak with, either. My manager literally got a security guard fired for being so verbally abusive he made one of her employees cry.

This strategy has multiple benefits -

1. You're not standing there trying to pen up your emotions, crying is a great physical release for negative emotions and you may very well feel somewhat better afterwards.

2. The person who precipitated the situation is forced to not only see you as a person with feelings, but also has to confront the fact that their abuse has consequences beyond themselves.

3. It can actually give your higher-ups leverage to address these situations. 'They yelled at my employee' is one thing, but 'They yelled at my employee until they were in tears' is a waaaaay worse offense. A good manager can use that. Hell, it can get a security guard fired!

tl;dr: We live in a capitalist hell but we can work the system and cry at work to shame awful customers

Look at this thing I made

[valtsv]

the 17th century was called ‘the golden age of piracy’ and now that i’m reading about it it’s really not surprising that piracy appealed to so many people

sure he’s well versed in leftist theory but does he do the dishes

[communitygardens]

this is such a succinct critique of  male leftists who think of it as theory only & won’t even get off their ass to clear the table

[brujademente]

I once met with this girl, I was applying makeup on her for her sister’s wedding and his “super smart leftist academic” boyfriend started to complaint about his wrinkled shirt like “why you didn’t do it, you had the whole day to do it blah blah blah” and I stared at him and said “you have two hands and a brilliant brain, Decipher how to iron a shirt” and he just stared at me As if I had offended his entire family 🙄
