#trying to help

Friendly general reminder to:

Take your meds

Knock out that thing you've been meaning to do

Brush them teeth (I'm there with ya)

Remember the £-Files

Inspire, not demoralize

Aim your cannons towards those watching smugly from the rafters, not those who are sat in the pit with you

Take the mask off, not just flip it upside-down

Talk with your local queers (All of them)

Keep your mind open

Nurture your joy and whimsy, not choke it

Be willing to change, and cautious to monitor it

Bathe in the gore of the concept of Cringe

Assume the better of fellow sentience; we often want to do good, but our perception of good (and bad) can be shifted and contorted.

Help eachother out of the smog; you could very well still be in some of it as well

The past 48 hours have great impact on those who suffered through abuse themselves

As a survivor myself, I can imagine that these past 48 hours have been very triggering. I do my best to keep this blog a safe space - though I might make some mistakes here and there, please tell me if you see them! Posts which can lead to triggers can be hidden. I do my best to tag them properly. In Tumblr’s settings you can hide the following tags to prevent seeing certain posts:

Tags:

- Trigger warning : for any and all possible triggers

- Tw sexual abuse : for any and all possible triggers related to sexual abuse

- Tw child abuse : for any and all possible triggers related to child abuse

- Tw miscarriage : for any and all possible triggers related to child loss during a time the child was still in utero

- Tw child death : for any and all possible triggers related to child loss during a time the child was born or any child ages from 0 to 18

- Tw death : for any and all possible triggers related to the death of a person from 18 and up, or any other living creature

How can I block tags?

1. Go to your own blog

2. Click on the settings icon

3. Click on account settings

4. Click on general settings

5. Click on filtering

6. Click on +New

7. Put in any tag you wish to hide

Mom I know you were trying to help but you said you didn’t throw away anything that wasn’t actively trash, and yet you threw away my Single Paper Towel That I Keep Around In Case Of Messes.

I really—yes I need it In Case there’s a Mess, it’s important because what will I do now In Case Of Messes without my Single Paper Towel That I Keep Around In Case Of Messes.

When I'm in my feels and start convincing myself I'll never be able to help anyone, but I think back to my math class two years ago when a boy who I thought hated me and previously bullied me opened up to me about self-harm and family and relationship issues and said only one other person knew and when I asked him why he told me all of that, he said that he just felt I could listen well.

Alternatives to using toxic disposable menstrual products and not contributing to consumerism as much,

1 cloth pads

I will literally die on this hill, cloth pads are so nice. They absorb like 10 times as much as a regular pad and they feel so much better on your skin. The only downside is they're more expensive to buy the first time, and you have to clean the blood out of your pad.

2 period disk (or cup)

This has been the biggest game changer of my life honestly. I'm so comfortable I forget the thing is even in there everything is just a lot simpler and less messy, granted the learning curve was kind of rough, like I almost gave up a few times, and the first few periods I didn't trust the discs to not leak. (This is a reusable product too so you have to clean it, you have to sterilize it and do all of that, I personally like having a better idea of how much blood I'm losing and keeping a better track on it, I suppose a potential downside could be that you get caught unawares, but honestly I usually pop mine in a few days early, just in case)

3 free bleeding

Now honestly I've never actually tried this, (and now that I've used the disc and I don't have to feel the soggy feeling I don't think I could go back) but I'm super curious about it and I wish I would have tried it back when I was trying every option.
