Oh.
Don’t mind me, I’ll be over here clutching my oldest bear and sobbing into his ears.

Might I add that if you can't wrap presents gift bags are a good alternative. And for safe food try to be the one to handle preparation yourself if possible (cooking holiday meals is a lot of work and you don't want to add more to that if you don't need to) and if possible try to pick a food that doesn't need the oven as ovens are often really busy during holiday meal prep.
Great tips @hatb0x
one good thing about december on this hellsite is that this gif will be making its rounds again

I’ve seen this a million times and every time I forget what’s coming
A lot of non-Jewish leftists aren't ready to hear this but I couldn't give less of a shit:
Stop talking about how you "would have hidden Anne Frank."
Anne Frank was not special.
You know her name because Otto Frank put in a considerable amount of work to make sure his daughter wasn't forgotten.
She is not your martyr or your saint.
She was a teenager who wrote that she believed people were good at heart, and then she was murdered by people who absolutely weren't.
And honestly, I don't want to hear a word about her by people who don't even know her sister's name.
Read "People Love Dead Jews" and stop using our murdered family as rhetorical devices.
Also like. Hiding Jews during the Shoah is SUCH a high bar. I think people think that looked like "oh just let them crash on my couch and that's it." No. It meant having a secret space that won't be detected when the SS show up to search the premises. It means feeding extra mouths who can't financially contribute back. It means concealing that you're feeding more people than your household is. How do you hide from the local grocer that knows it's just you and your wife why you're buying enough food for 4 people? It means discretely and safely getting rid of human waste. It means living in perpetual fear that you'll be found out that I can imagine the allure of betraying those you're hiding gets very attractive simply so you don't have to live with that fear. It means dealing with the very human annoyances of dealing with people who are experiencing a WICKED case of cabin fever.
Hiding someone - and I mean REALLY hiding someone with the goal that they stay hidden - takes financial and emotional resources that most of us cannot even fathom. And the people who are saying they'd do this couldn't even bring themselves to vote for a Black woman otherwise they'd be "complicit in genocide."
Being chronically ill is like
“It’s fine”
“It’s fine”
“It’s fine”
*complete mental breakdown because you can’t do this anymore*
“It’s fine”
I've just had my regularly scheduled mental breakdown, and right now I'm in the "Why did you lose your sh*t like that? Why can't you handle life like everyone else?" phase. Seeing written confirmation that I'm not the only person who lives by this cycle is nice.
What’s the difference between fatigue and being tired?
My heart is racing and I’m breathing heavy after walking up or down a single flight of stairs.
Eating a meal is tiring.
I can sleep 10-12 hours and wake up and feel okay for about 30 minutes, maybe an hour, and then I’m exhausted again.
Mentally stimulating tasks are difficult, I can’t focus on reading.
Showering is so hard. I stand in the water and space out because it’s hard to lift my body parts to clean them properly. I need to lie down or sleep after showering because it is the most physical strain I will have in a day.
Other chronically ill and disabled people are invited to add their own examples. I’m so drained and I have to vent these feelings, it might as well be in a way that could potentially be useful for other people.
the spirit is unwilling and the flesh it feels not so good also
I see this post all the time and I'm so confused. Most people throughout history were busier than your average resident of a developed country is now. My primary reaction to reading about the past since I was a child has been "I'm glad I don't live then, I'm too weak for that, I could not do that much work all the time."
In the past things took longer to do but they often required a waiting period. You had to chop wood, put it in your stove, and light it, but it took a few hours for it to get hot enough for baking and then another hour for the bread to fully cook. History books will say things like "It took 4 hours to make a loaf of bread" but they don't mention that you only had to do actual work for a fraction of that time and the rest could be devoted to other tasks or relaxing for a while
Employee workload has doubled or tripled because of modern technology. It makes things faster but also creates less downtime which employers have filled with more responsibilities. You can do more work in a 10 minute period if all the files are on the computer but in the olden days you got to take a short walk to the filing cabinet and let your mind wander while you thumbed through folders, which means a modern 10 minutes of work is more mentally exhausting. The amount of work one employee has to do today used to be split between 2 or 3 people. We lost those moments of downtime we used to get by having to do things the slow way
Yall sleeping on this Sam L. Jackson interview about trump lmfao.
Samuel L. Jackson is an international treasure.
Samuel L Jackson is a miracle. He-
-Was an usher at MLK’s funeral.
-Staged a lock-in that held a board of old white men trustees at a college hostage until they agreed to hire black people.
-Worked as a social worker.
-Used swearing as a way to conquer his stutter, and it worked.
He damn well should be valued and loved.
Doctors are like: ughhhhh. You're confusing. Come back if you die
One thing that makes Galaxy Quest such a good film is how kind it is about the diehard fans, from the nerds who have an encyclopedic knowledge of every inch of the ship to the fangirls who squeal over their favourite ship, it'd have been so easy to make fun of them and portray them as pathetic losers and asocial freaks, but instead they're portrayed as sweet and earnest and having firm and valued and real friendships with each other as a result of their fandom, and being right to care about the show as much as they do. The movie isn't a love letter to Star Trek, it's a love letter to Star Trek fans.
Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)
DUNGEON MASTER BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN ANSWERS DnD QUESTIONS (TECH SUPPORT | WIRED)
This is exactly why I hate most cancer charity outreach. They always lead with "this person got the BEST CARE and had the BEST SUPPORT NETWORK, and so they got the miracle. Don't you want the miracle for your loved ones?"
I wanted the miracle so badly I damn near killed myself trying to get it. I spent every cent I could. I loved her harder than I have ever loved anything in my life.
And we got no miracle.
"You just didn't love enough" is cruel and unfair.
my mom was incredibly loved. friends, family, neighbors. she had an incredible support team. pancreatic cancer did not respond to the power of love, and it didn't respond to the power of chemotherapy, either. ironically, one of the most loving people i've ever known died of a heart attack. her literal, actual heart just wore out.
investing in medical research and advocating for universal healthcare is, i think, probably going to save more moms than what i managed to do with my own heart.
