hey man. nice regional dialect. mind if i apply some baseless assumptions about your personhood to it? i was also gonna prescribe morality to it as well. if that’s cool with you
elon musk is like if you distilled the essence of 2010 “you, sir, win the most epic of upvotes” reddit and put it into the body of a wealthy peanut factory owner from 1835 london who exclusively employed 5 year old orphans
Yeah I’m free the 22nd and the 22nd and the 20th and the 22nd and the 21st as well as the 20th and the 22nd and the 22nd after that and the three 20ths after that
for like a decade I kept getting the advice of “don’t ruminate” but also “sit with your emotions” and I was like What The Fuck Does That Even Mean. until someone finally explained it in a way that makes sense:
so there’s the emotional part of your brain (“I’m embarrased”) and then there’s the storytelling part (“all my friends hate me and I’m a piece of shit”). when people say “don’t ruminate” what they mean is don’t feed the storytelling part
you tend to the emotion (“I’m feeling x. why am I feeling that? how do I move forward given that information? what’s something nice I can do for myself right now to cope with this?”) but you treat the storytelling part like a little goblin that’s trying to be as unhelpful to this whole process as possible. this doesn’t shut the storytelling goblin up completely, but it keeps it from causing so much chaos and over time it stops talking so damn much
it’s basically like if you were trying to comfort a friend. you’d validate their emotions, but you wouldn’t sit there and let them call themself a piece of shit. do that for yourself
sharing this in case someone else is also like Why Didn’t Someone Just Say That
i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”
and to my only grandson, i bequeath the estate in aspen, under the strict stipulation that he dresses like a girl for a year. if he fails, then it shall be given to his evil cousin, whose name i never did catch
The reality for people in Saudi Arabia is not only is their sexuality a criminal offense, but it’s punishable by death. My friend is currently living in that reality, trapped as a lesbian woman with no freedoms or independence.
I beg of you to find it in your heart to read her story, spread the word, and donate if you can. She has hope for a life in Australia under political asylum, but she needs funds in order to travel there.
If you are LGBT+, this is one of our siblings begging for a chance to live and love freely. Please consider 🙏 Please reblog
Me: I’m going to start only eating when I’m hungry. That way I won’t snack all day long and I can enjoy proper meals when I actually need them instead :)
Me 22hrs after my last solid food: wait fuck I forgot about the ADHD
My ADHD when I leave snacks out in the open: oh look a snack. oh, look, a snack. oh a snack. oh look
My ADHD when I put all the snacks away in the cupboard: I’ve never heard of food in my entire life.
