I'm currently living in a two-cat household, and there's a thing that happens where the first cat is calling for me, the second cat shows up like "you rang?", and the first cat immediately smacks the second cat in the face like "not you, knucklehead". They do this every day.
The second cat always comes running when the first cat calls for me, even though it gets her dope-slapped with 100% reliability. I suspect she simply enjoys the attention.

I’ve been meaning to assemble this panorama and correct the very difficult lighting (especially for a very retro iPhone 5 camera) for ten years and this post reminded me to get around to it.
On June 26th, 2015, a completely foreign world to now, I was driving home with NPR on, and pulled into a grocery store parking lot.
I had just heard via the radio the Obergefell v. Hodges decision which legalized gay marriage.
Texas was celebrating with a double rainbow.
All love is beautiful.
HI LET’S SHARE NICOLE’S WORDS ON THE SUBJECT!
It has been literal years but every time I see Martin’s tweets posted somewhere and his word is shared as truth while her post is not shared it sort of reiterates the fact that we trust men to speak about feminism more than we believe women who experience it.
Interesting, innit? https://medium.com/@nickyknacks/working-while-female-59a5de3ad266
Reading her account of how their boss treated her blows me away. Men are so emboldened that they will literally admit to illegal discrimination casually and face no consequences.
In all the years of seeing this post I’ve never seen a link to her side. Didn’t even know she’d written one.
Adding screenshots of her post. His whole post is there without needing a link. Hers should be, too.
Also, she posted this is 2017! It’s fucking 2020 and I’ve seen his side of this for years, but it took 3 years for her side to make its way to my dash…
I’ve reblogged his story at least twice; it’s time for Nicole’s.
Reblogged him, bout time I got to reblog her.
I’ve never seen either side of this story, so sure, I’ll reblog this.
also annoying how people are given the impression that homeless people have a lot of options for support when most homeless shelters i'm aware of will turn you away for drug/alcohol use and i can absolutely see why people in active addiction would prefer to have the freedom to self-medicate in their situation that won't actually be changed by having "somewhere to sleep at night"
like so many of the people i see every day at work are homeless and the ones who have been out for a long time often "don't want help" not because they're stupid or lazy or whatever but because they know they won't get any actual help

The rules I made for myself for surviving suicidal ideation are as follows... While I've still had attempts, but I haven't had any for more than 8 years.
-
Rules:
Go home
Have an easy snack or meal (one step preferred, like microwaving some frozen garlic bread)
If you have the energy then have a shower,
Put your phone down so as to not doom scroll, (I put on something interesting to listen to like PBS EONS)
Tuck yourself in bed,
Go to sleep.
Wake up later and wonder why you wanted to kill yourself so bad when you were tired.
I love these
For me, I also have to add “drink some water” because I often forget to stay well hydrated
Drink some water is a good addition... Water can include cordial, fruit juice, a cup of tea (the amount of caffeine in the tea is not diuretic enough to make a difference). Your body isn't discriminating about where the H2O comes from.
I advise no energy drink or any alcohol, from experience you will probably feel worse with these, which defeats the point.
I especially like this because it's so much more chill to have suicidal thoughts happening and you're just "I'm making some yummy tea 😊" like it's gonna feel bad but it's SO MUCH WORSE when you're like "I'm scrolling my phone and I feel gross for 'no reason' and the world fucking sucks and maybe my brain is so so right about killing myself".
Like you can always decide later but when your body needs stuff, your brain isn't in a good place for making big decision so just letting the thoughts happen but not taking them too seriously for the moment feels like such a relief!
(Note: the only way that you definitely should take suicidal thoughts seriously is that they are the alarm system telling you you need more support overall - more/less/different meds, therapy, changing stuff in your life, asking for help, better coping skills, etc.)
Literally though, feeling like and having thoughts of "well maybe I should just end it all" and you're making a cup of tea as you think to yourself *well, my brain is doing that awful thing again, I should have a little treat... Where did I put the biscuits/cookies*... Is literally just a good way to decompress.
A good snack (tea included), shower and sleep help keep me alive more than any protective factors "list the people who are important to me" strategy mental health professionals have suggested.
In extreme distress it's hard to think of, and it's extra not useful if there's been a relationship breakdown with any of those people. But recognising physical discomfort and relief is much easier to remember and reinforce.
You ever feel awful and then feel human again after washing your hair? Or feel grumpy and feel like a whole new person after you eat something? You ever feel like you're making so many mistakes when you're overtired?... Checking off all of those things that fix your brain chemistry, just helps.
Yup. It changed my life when I realized that my brain often expresses “I’m severely exhausted” as “I want to die”. And just generally that an intrusive thought of “I want to die” is my brain’s way of saying “this situation feels intolerable and I want any way out”.
It helps so much, to say to my brain “yes, I know, we’re so exhausted” or “yes, I know, this feels impossible”. It doesn’t fix anything but it is often helpful for holding on til I can get more rest/more help.
(voice of a person spiralling) its embarrassing but i still havent figured out if its ok for me to be alive

If you see a community of people missing from a chunk of history (Queer/trans/religious ect) and your immediate thought is "oh they didnt exist then" instead of "oh shit these people had a bunch of their history erased" you have fallen for genocidal propaganda.
