i uh think it’s really cool that you’re still trying despite how hard life can be

[katy-soul9]

I'd never give up on me ❤️

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

things to not feel guilty about:

putting yourself first

setting boundaries and saying “no”

resting and taking downtime

nourishing your body

“giving up” on things not meant for you

taking time to heal even if it’s longer than expected

failing (no matter how many times you do it)

feel free to add!

Reframing does not have to be positive. You do not have to go from “I am terrible” to “I am amazing.” Sometimes the most healing step is going from “I am terrible” to “I am doing my best.” Neutrality is still progress. It is still a shift. It is still a way out of the spiral.

I'm years into my recovery and I still find only neutrality helps, and maybe that's just what works for me.

Please help a chronically ill lesbian

As some of you know, I needed to have surgery this year for a health issue that has been actively ruining my life and robbing me of my joy. I'm fully insured through my company, but parts of the surgery fell through the cracks and I am not eligible for financial aid.

this year has been so hard and long and shitty and I hate having to ask for help, but I really can't see any other alternative. I am so scared and stressed

just so you all know. If you’re not familiar with how illness works in 2025. A lot of meds actually make sick people look “puffy” or “swollen”. My face looks absurdly rounded, with chipmunk ass cheeks and puffy little jowls. Some meds make you fat. Some make you retain water in weird places, like your belly or around your ankles. This happens to people in comas, people going through chemo, people on dialysis, anyone on immunosuppressants or corticosteroids. Being thin and gaunt isn’t the only way to “look sick.”

Heads up, especially if you have trouble with unreality:

I've already started seeing Sora videos pop up on other platforms, so just know that if you see this watermark logo:

the video is AI generated. Some of them can be very convincing, so I just wanted to let people know if you haven't already heard of it.

[image id: a white watermark of a cloud with eyes next to the word Sora.]

Please also be aware that people actively attempt to remove or cover up these watermarks, here's some tips to help you spot ai slop videos that dont involve analyzing every detail of every frame:

Most of the ones trying to trick you utilize security camera or doorbell camera styles- the lower quality videos make it easier to disguise errors and blending visuals

Emotional responses are the goal. Ai videos are not interested in mundanity, they want to make you shocked or upset or in awe in order to farm engagement. RULE OF THUMB- outrageous concept + security camera style footage= ai slop

Check the profile. If you see an outrageous video and go to the uploader's profile, they're most likely going to have dozens of variations of the same video prompt (or various stolen videos which also means it's not a reliable source)

Additionally, just because a video isn't ai doesn't mean it's not fake or staged. The tells for a staged video is the filming in and of itself. Many fake vids will be filming for a good few seconds before the engaging part happens (why were they filming this seemingly mundane scene Right before something interesting happened? Why is this couple's security camera Only focused on their couch?)

Everything is uploaded for a reason, a good question to revisit is "why was this uploaded?" Most of the time the answer is either to sell you something or to incite ourtage/ similarly strong emotions so you'll interact with the video

Those are some simple tips for now but Jeremy Carrasco is a great resource for breaking down and debunking ai videos. Go forth and be media literate!!

if you can't push yourself past pain and fatigue to do the things you love, that's not your fault. other people may be able and willing to do so, but not doing that is a completely fair response to disability. it's kind of in the name - lack of ability.

you don't need to push yourself in order to love it. not doing it anymore doesn't mean it doesn't matter to you that much or you just aren't good enough at it. if you can find any way to make engaging in your passions more accessible, you have a right to do that. accessibility is a human right.

you are disabled. and disability is not a moral failing. this goes double when it comes to the things we love, the things that make us who we are.

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.
