one of the most amazing things that has been said to me in therapy is that self esteem doesn’t exist.

and that floored people and the psych went onto say that what she meant was that self esteem is a concept that actually includes a vast array of things and labelling them all as one thing is really limiting and prevents actual improvement

you could have real strong pride in the things you create and hate your body

you could hate your creations but also want to share them with people

you could not hate yourself at all but not take care of yourself, engage in reckless self endangerment

thats all bundled under ‘self esteem’ but saying ‘i need better self esteem’ doesn’t mean anything

whereas if you say ‘i need to work on ways to keeping myself safe, refusing to act on destructive urges’ or ‘i want to be in a place where i believe compliments trusted people give me’

thats concrete, thats a goal.

having it said in therapy helped a lot of people in my group stop saying ‘i have low self esteem’ and start specifying about the actual issue they have

so i was on facebook earlier and someone screencapped this comment from an undoubtedly frustrating thread on that rank cesspool of a website (source).

you know what’s funny to me? that white people (and non black poc, let’s be real) don’t know anything about black hair, yet are constantly trying to tell us what to do with it. when i had twists, i can’t even begin to tell you how many times they were referred to as “dreadlocs” and presumed to be my real hair. when my hair was relaxed, i had take my behind from school in massachusetts to nyc to find a dominican hair dresser to do a basic wash and set. 

white people are incredibly ignorant about black people business. 

this is part of the reason why we get so heated about cultural appropriation of black hair styles like locs and braids. 

because when non-black people copy us and do it badly, we’re the ones who end up with the reputations for being lazy, dirty, stinky, unkempt ganja smokers. 

not you, white people.

and you know where those stereotypes lead? 

federal court rules that companies can legally discriminate against candidates with locs

they lead to black people being further discriminated against in the job market because of our hair. it leads to people using our hair as an excuse to deny us jobs when the real reason is because they’re racist. 

and then we end up once again having to prove our humanity because of the way our natural hair grows out of our heads. 

loc’d professionals take to instagram after federal court rules loc discrimination legal

these styles are meant to make it easier for us to take care of our afro-textured hair. especially for those of us who have busy lives, those of us who are disabled or have skin conditions and can’t use chemicals. these styles are part of our self-care. now we gotta do the hard work to take this to the supreme court because white people can’t leave well enough alone.

one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”

[ainaraoftime-deactivated2025020]

y’see because spain and portugal are so close, labels in stuff like food, shampoo, etc often come in portuguese as well as spanish

this brand of chips, Lay’s, displays the flavor in spanish and portuguese, resulting in ham-flavored chips looking like this:

with “jamón” being spanish and “presunto” being portuguese

however, “presunto” is also a spanish adjective, meaning “presumed” (or suspected)

so you have this in-joke going where spanish chips taste like ham, presumably

Here is the art for my second Big Bang, or AN EXCUSE FOR MAICHAN TO DRAW STUCKY PORNS ;)

Art for Civilians, GDI by relenafanel (FBI Agent!Bucky, Actor!Steve) Special Agent Bucky Barnes doesn’t think of himself as a hero. He’s dedicated to his career, and if that keeps him far away from home, all the better. His parents think that he should get a less dangerous job and meet a nice Brooklyn girl (or boy) to settle down with. In Brooklyn.

That sounds like Bucky’s definition of a living hell. He’s been running from it for years.

Enter Steve Rogers. Brooklyn boy. Not always nice. Hot as hell. And a temptation Bucky can’t resist, even after their initial failure of a meeting.
