Hey
Does anyone else have like. Anxiety-related memory problems. Like, after you do something, you start wondering if you messed something up or did something wrong, and you get really anxious over possible mistakes you made and you genuinely can’t remember if you made those mistakes or not?
Like for example maybe you write someone a letter and then after sending it you start imagining you made some terrible mistake and despite the fact that you yourself wrote and proofread and sent it, you can’t remember if you did or not?
It happens to me a l o t and it’s terrible and scary because I can’t trust my own memories when I’m anxious
Tag: yeah
HEY “COMEDY” “WRITERS”
SATIRE: Writing a character as racist in order to call out that particular brand of racism, deconstruct its normalisation and belittle those who demonstrate it in the real world.
NOT SATIRE: Writing a character as racist to “shock” audiences and “push barriers” because you think that’s actually a beneficial or important part of comedy.
Which, incidentally, is only something you think because you’re an ignorant and talentless hack.
If you aren’t queer, don’t make today about celebrating your queer ships/characters. In your context, it is detracting from the real life people who are affected positively by this ruling, let’s put the focus on them.
If you are queer, however, & these ships & characters (canon or not) & the community surrounding them, have been a source of hope or support to you & your identity? That is a different context, to my mind, & go for it.
If you want to try & make today about celebrating your straight ship, as yes, I have seen some people doing… Just leave. Please. You are an embarrassment to yourself.
I know having a bf/gf etc isnt important but when no one crushes on u u cant help but wonder “whats wrong with me ” “maybe im meaner than i thought” “how ugly AM i” “its because of my body its totally my body” i think its only natural as humans that we seek approval it kind of sucks
I really, really hate how awful I am in regards to keeping in contact with others. I want healthy and fulfilling relationships with my friends, but it’s very hard for me to wholly invest myself. I want to talk to you, but it’s difficult for me to muster the energy to do so sometimes. I want to hang out with you, but isolation also sounds nice right now. I’ll read your texts, but I’m not necessarily in the mood to reply at the moment. Then I feel anxious attempting to reach out when I do have the energy and I am in a good mood because I feel like I pushed you away and you dislike me now, so I usually remain isolated. I feel selfish because of it. And I feel like a bad friend.
person: I got this really cool internship/job. What are you doing this summer?
me: the best I can
If you don’t have a massive alternative universe in your head with developed people and stories you’re lying.
mine is embarrassingly massive
I have generations, alternate dimensions, and spin offs.
I’m a celebrity in my mind
I have at least ten. Depends on what kind of day I had, which one I think of at night.
If you’re following me and you’re Muslim go ahead and send me a list of things you’d like me to tag ‘nsfr’
If I’m right Ramadaan starts the 17th so I’ll begin tagging on the 16th. I just want to make my blog as safe as possible for my Muslim followers during this time.
An important thing to remember is that up until only a few years ago, the internet was like a sea of tiny, isolated islands. The biggest social outlets were forums, each with its own status quo, and the biggest, most visible ones were most often run by ambivalent moderators who encouraged “civil discussion” even if it meant letting grotesquely prejudiced shitheads have their “equal say.”
People who had any sensitivity to a lot of issues were often just run off and had to stick to smaller, more private outlets. Forums for trans people, abuse survivors, anyone different from the acceptable mainstream were treated as trolling targets and often crumbled under the onslaught.
What we’re NOW seeing, across all this social media like tumblr and twitter, are people coming out of hiding, showing their true feelings and identities as they discover they’re not as alone as they thought.
The people who chalk this up to some kind of SJW special snowflake bandwagon are people still living in the internet’s dark ages. They don’t get that this diversity and compassion was always there, but hidden under their mountains of fake edgy bullshit. That’s what pisses them off so much: they thought the internet was a free-for-all paradise to take nothing seriously and be as big an asshole as you want, but that was nothing but a facade all along. It was the result of people who thought they HAD to act that way in order to avoid becoming targets.
Now we’re finding out which ones were just legitimately terrible people to the core and they’re all in panic mode over it.
Yo if someone tags something with any variation of “please do not reblog” then please do not reblog it.
If a post is rather personal, it’s a good idea to check the tags before reblogging.
If your reason for reblogging personal posts is to show support— just drop a like on the post.
Reblogs are great for art, signal boosts, and other things that benefit from being spread around, but very personal text posts are best kept on a person’s blog where they can completely delete it if necessary.
and if you think it would be a fantastic idea to create a blog specifically with the purpose of finding every ‘do not reblog’ post and reblogging them… please disconnect yourself from the internet forever, it’s not for you, you are a horrible person
Also, if you want to reply to a personal post, I think the best option is to write an ask in response so it can be publicized, but doesn’t have to be if the personal poster doesn’t want it to, and it can be separated from the original post or not at their leisure. Fanmail is good for replies if you have no intention of the reply being publicized.
