the adhd feeling of being unable to stop reading books as a kid, sneaking books into class, hiding books in your textbook, keeping a second copy of the same book for when the teacher inevitably confiscated the first one. Books falling out of your bag, books hidden in your hoodie pocket, books dribbling out of your eyeballs and taking over your daydreams. Just. The absolute dopamine fueled obsession of reading as an adhd kid. So. Many. Books.

and 10 years later, being completely utterly distraught and distractedly… unable to focus on a goddamn book

I mad agree with this.

[madameblack]

This reminds me, if y'all haven’t heard of therapyforblackgirls.com please visit if you need a therapist. You can search by mental health need, location/distance, insurance, etc. I believe there are some that provide a sliding scale payment method for those without insurance.

If you’re not quite ready to make the jump, there is a podcast you can listen to as well as articles and links to help answer some of your questions about mental health and/or therapy.

The purpose, as I understand it, is to provide a place where black women can go to find culturally sensitive therapy. Some specialize in family/couples as well.

Take a look.

[imfemalewarrior]

For any black Women following me! 

Taking care of your mental health is another important factor in your overall health. Fighting for good mental health is a fight worth doing, and is just as difficult, if not moreso, than physical fighting.

An activate charcoal AND grapefruit smoothie called "what will your meds do ;)"

[the-killswitch-deactivated20200]

Actually its a juice

[queerforscience]

Wait no this was a joke

[kaijuno]

you're on antidepressants and you drink this you meet the devil

[goldenjedi]

Ok I just want to say activated charcoal is really good for you. Especially if you have an upset stomach. Take it, and it'll absorb all the toxins in your stomach and make you feel better.

Natural remedies are good. They do work. And we shouldn't make fun of them.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

You know how they give activated charcoal to dogs and cats if they get into your meds or drink coolant or anything else toxic? That’s because it binds with meds and carries them out of your system without them interacting with your body.

If you’re on meds and drink this bullshit you’re not on your meds today, champ. You may as well have flushed them down the toilet. So kiss goodbye to your blood pressure meds/antidepressants/anything else you’re on and if you’re on the pill I hope you’re ready to be a mom.

Among its other charming traits, activated charcoal can prevent your body from digesting food and absorbing nutrients and oh yeah side effects can include “diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and blockage of the digestive tract.” (Source)

But ya know, “really good for you.” 🙄

[genderfluidfish]

This is gonna be a very unpopular opinion but I don't care

Activated charcoal is a medication, not a food additive, and should not be taken if you're not sick. It absorbs toxins, as well as other chemicals in your stomach. And by toxins I mean actual toxic stuff when you accidentally poison yourself. Not the mysterious "toxins" you get rid of when you "detox". "Detox" is bullshit. You detox by having a working liver. If you're alive and not currently dying of liver failure, odds are you liver is working and therefore you don't need to detox and eat activated charcoal when you're not having food poisoning.

You wouldn't just make yourself an ibuprofen latte, so stop putting activated charcoal in everything.

[thechronicpainlife]

“You wouldn't just make yourself an ibuprofen latte, so stop putting activated charcoal in everything.”

Just in case someone missed it

[vforvictoriaregina]

Also incredibly important

[goosewithajob]

Also, on the off chance the activated charcoal doesn’t immediately suck everything out of your body, grapefruit is literally the (second) worst possible thing you can eat or drink when you’re on medication, as it interacts with a LOT of them, and you should always double check- https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/grapefruit-juice-and-some-drugs-dont-mix

[theboardwalkbody]

^^ all of this.

If you want to "detox" you could eat clean, light foods (maintaining your recommended caloric intake based upon age and lifestyle, or physician/dietrician, if you are under their care) and the proper daily portions of food groups (check out myplate for info). Avoid caffine, carbonated and sugary drinks. Drink 2L (roughly 8 cups or two standard sized bottles) of water a day (again unless otherwise contraindicated by physicians orders). Try to sleep the same hours each night. Walk (or some other comparable activity) at least 30 minutes a day.

Like that's it. Thats how you "detox".

YOUR LIVER

the hot new* way to detox your body!

*in that you've had it your entire life and, in most cases, it has already been 'detoxing' your blood in exactly the way your body needs

[lightspeedsound]

I think ppl need to stop dismissing films like “crazy rich asians” and “to all the boys I loved before” as “cool for representation but just rom com fluff.”

Because like damn guys, sometimes I just don’t wanna deal with super deep narratives about identity and misogyny. Sometimes I just can’t handle the secondary trauma of movies like the joy luck club and maos last dancer. Sometimes I just need to escape into a happy place of light humor and hot people. And sometimes I want that happy place to show ppl who look like me.

Don’t knock escapism representation y’all.

[lightspeedsound]

Ppl are asking if it’s ok for white ppl to reblog

Answer: yes.

Would rather y’all reblog than speak over .

[eternal-dannation]

i legitimately and in all seriousness think harold and kumar go to white castle is a revolutionary film expressly because its a mediocre stoner film that happens to star two asian dudes

we deserve to have mediocre stoner films as much as the next group

[lightspeedsound]

Tbh Harold and Kumar is about two Asian bro’s fighting simultaneously against white toxic masculinity stereotypes and also a commentary on the problematic nature of model minority culture in America under the guise of just like…really loving weed, man.

Also launched the careers of two men who wouldn’t have gotten callbacks otherwise (not to mention Kal’s political activism !) So like…yeah.

Comedy —GOOD COMEDY—is subversive !

[madfishmonger]

Comedy and lighthearted romance and media that give us joy and hope are things we can’t forget even in the darkest times. We need to laugh and smile and love because that’s what we’re fighting for.

[lambbabies]

As a POC I always get so tired of the only “quality” stories being the ones that involve pain and suffering and some sort of struggle. White people get both the light and dark in their stories so why shouldn’t everyone else?

[throwdownyourheart]

All people of color deserve the frivolous fluffy bullshit that white people get. No trope or cliche is over until people of color get their chance at them too.

Ending the stigma of drug use will save lives.
