PLEASE UNMUTE

[shes-unforgettable]

I never know what's going on... I haven't watched news in over a year, I don't use any social media except for Tumblr and even this is too much for my small brain, I miss important things because the idea of going through 900 messages in a group chat to sift out info paralyses me, I didn't open my email for 2 months and missed an appointment with the US Department of State...............

[deadlysunlight]

I have this trouble with emails also, not opening them for months. If you don't mind some advice, here is how I usually finally manage to open them and reply.

Step by step

Don't think about the whole process. You are not going to open the emails and read them and answer. You are going to login. That is all. Login and switch to another tab. Stay logged in if it gives you the option. Done.

When you are ready for the next step, which could be a different day or a few days later. The next step is reading the email. Nothing else.

No drafting a reply. Just read the emails. Once you have their content in mind you will naturally start to formulate a reply and/or worry. Let that happen, but remind yourself that you are Done. You read the emails. Done. Do something else.

Finally, after you have had some time and your reply has been growing in your mind over the past few hours or days. You may get the urge to suddenly open up the emails and reply. You may not. Either way, the reply is ready in your mind and all you have to do is write it.

If its too difficult to write the reply in the email box, copy the email you are replying to, to a word doc or whichever text editor you like. Then draft the response there. If you have to reply to multiple emails, draft replies at different times. If it's a long email, take multiple days. If you can't get started. Set a timer for two minutes. Two. Not five, not ten. Do it for two minutes a day if that's all you can do. Stop when the two minutes is done, unless you feel like continuing.

Finally, copy the reply you have drafted into the email reply box and hit send. Or if you are doing this in the middle of the night (because that's when the urge struck), schedule a time for the email to be sent. Then get yourself a treat. You did it.

[deadlysunlight]

I see in your tags you did ask for advice. So here is some more.

it can be extremely difficult to start things, especially if your anxiety overwhelms you. Decide that you are going to brave for one minute. For one minute you will ignore the anxiety and login to the emails. Then youre done for the day.

For the groupchat, a similar approach.

Open the groupchat and dismiss the notification. Don't read anything. The goal is to get rid of that 999 notification which feels so daunting. This is two taps on a phone. Two taps, no reading. Done. Do something else.

On a different day.

Then you have to filter for information. It would help if you prepare a notebook or document to write down this information first. So do that. Put a pen and notebook in the place you intend to sit and eventually read them. Just that. Done.

Again space this out over days/hours whichever works for you.

Next, you are not going to read all the messages at once randomly. You going to set some time to read only one day's worth of messages. No more. You are going to read the last day's messages. Or the last week's depending on the frequency of messages. That's it. Once you see the date change, you're done.

If you are like me you probably begin mentally calculating how many days it will take to read them all. Add 30 more days to that estimate. Yes, give yourself a whole extra month to read them. You might have days where you're busy, you forget, low mood and so on. Whenever you feel the need to go faster, remind yourself you have a whole extra month.

Again, if you cannot begin at all. Be brave for one minute. Set a timer. Count down from 60. Starting is usally the hardest part. With anxiety, the rush of fear doesn't usally last more than a minute. Ignore it for one minute. Then two. Then five, if you can. With groupchats the useful information is usally sparse so it will likely be done with long before your calculated deadline. Hope this helps.

Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home

23/04/2022

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home/allcountries

If you’re not an EU citizen or can’t sign please pass the info to EVERYONE you know, so they can help spread it!

(That means reblogging this, not just liking it … )

If the EU manages to get this implemented, it could really improve quality of life for everyone not just those living in the EU.

If this get’s of the ground no western governemnt has an excuse to not at least try the UBI!

[tainbocuailnge]

to be clear this isn’t some random change.org petition that doesn’t matter, this is the formal proper way for EU citizens to influence what the EU commission discusses. if this gets enough signatures they HAVE to seriously consider how to implement universal basic income across the european union.

Ways to help Ukrainian girls and women who became victims to sexual violance by the Russian Army,

As the Ukrainian army is pushing back, several cases of rape, sexual abuse and violance are being reported from the former occupied territories, and can be found (but will not be included in this post due to the triggering nature of them) on the official Instagram and Facebook profiles of ombudsman Denisova, (the translate feature will help you if you do not speak Ukrainian).

To help, the Czech foundraiser Znesnáze is organizing doctors from Czechia and Morava who will, with help, travel to Ukraine in order to help.

Of importance is to mention that while the sum has been raised, the foundriser continues, as a means of to be able to travel out more than once (the initial sum, given in Czech currency, is covering only a one to-and-fro travel) and be able to help more victims.

A rough translation of the Czech text says that the donated money will be used for the purchase of pregnancy test as well as abortion pills (mifepriston and mispregnolon), that then will be given out under medical supervision. The sum also includes transport exapnes.

If you want to donate, you can do so here. (Again, if it is needed, use the translation feature available in most browsers, if you do not speak Czech and want a full translation of the text, or messege me for a full-scale translation).

What you have to do, if donating, is to click DAROVAT. Be mindful that the donation, as above-mentioned, is in Czech currency, namely CZK and/or Czech Koruna. Here is a conventor, if needed.

If you cannot donate, I would apreciate if you, at least, could help to circulate this post.

As a fair warning, any pro-life agenda (if seen interacting with this post) will be hardblocked. I do not care about your beliefs, or your ‘freedom’ of speech, this is not the post for you. Ignore it, or make your peace with being blocked.

Last but not least, I apologize for putting a content as triggering as this onto your dashboards, and sincrely wish I did not have to.

How can anyone think the pandemic is over? How can so many people be completely fine with the way things are going? How can so many people think they are safe? How can so many people think that wearing a mask and staying home is a personal choice that only affects them?

Millions of people are dead from COVID who were alive 2 years ago and would still be here if not for the virus. People whose deaths were preventable. That's not fucking okay.

The virus has not gone away, despite what governments and corporations pretend. It's mid-April 2022. Thousands of people have died just in the past week. Millions more have been infected within the past week. Many of those people who don't die will come away with permanent organ damage or other health effects, even among the mildest cases. Why is anyone okay with that?

And what about everyone whose lives have been completely disrupted and/or ruined by this pandemic, regardless of whether they've been infected or not? What about the people who've lost someone or even several people because of all of this? What about all the children who are orphans now? How can we ignore such suffering?

Think of how many people could have been saved if we'd stayed locked down a little while longer at the beginning. Think of how quickly this all might have passed if everyone had taken it seriously from the start. Think of how much better things would be right now if corporate greed, government inaction, and individual selfishness had not outweighed our sense of responsibility to each other.

We are not built to comprehend this scale of anguish. If we try, our brains shut down our emotions like a circuit breaker on an electrical grid after a fuse blows. I understand this. But we need to stop every once in a while and try anyway, lest we forget what has been and continues to be lost.

I hope everyone who has protested against lockdowns has been enjoying the haircut they got out of it. They may be standing on the corpses of millions, but at least they'll look good for Ms. Rona when she comes knocking.

After two years it struck me that most everyone who was going to die from covid has already died from covid, and our lawmakers convinced us they were a necessary sacrifice to not make the money sad.

[hashtagloveloses]

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

[hashtagloveloses]

ok i need to make this clearer: if you do not reblog posts and only like them you are contributing to this site actively getting worse and becoming like all the apps you hate. keep likes to things you just wanna keep off your blog. reblog everything else. ESPECIALLY fanart, which always needs a reblog.

[hashtagloveloses]

and FYI: what i’m saying here is backed up by tumblr themselves. they admit this publicly.

if you want a good RECENT (as of the end of February 2022) overview of what is going on behind the scenes at tumblr, it is basically what i’ve been saying for years: the core staff is tiny, constantly not being listened to when they advocate for us, the community, and working there is a nightmare:

The inside story of how Tumblr lost its way

And how it can find itself again for a new generation.

Today's study corner for an online class and studying day. Weird enough, I have no idea what to do but my brain is focussed on the idea that "I have a lot to do". Not sure what's happening inside of my sub-consciousness but bullet journaling might be a great idea to sort it all out. I'm also thinking of going back to yoga (at home) and bake some Japanese and Korean desserts. I used to eat so much Japanese and Korean food but it's impossible to find where I live now. So baking and diy-ing it is!
