the doctor who did my smear test gave me valuable as all hell information as to how to speed up getting my autism diagnosis sorted cause she also deals with that sort of stuff and i legit would not have known any of it had i not bit the bullet and gone for that stupid deeply uncomfortable test.
So yeah, vagina havers, go get your damn smear tests. you might learn something totally random but super valuable!

Good morning!
Make this list (gotta work on my thesis since I have to hand in "what I've got" to my thesis advisor today) [8:16]
Eat breakfast [watched TheClosetHistorian create a dieselpunk inspired vest, anyway it's now 9:24]
Set a timer for two hours
Go through notes from Danmarks ældste ugeblad and copy-paste the relevant bits into my "first assignment" document in the relevant places (four segments)
Do the same for the Silva text (no direct quoting)
Do the same for Moden 1890-1920
[eh, I copied over the relevant bits, but it didn't make sense right away to split them up, so I ended up reading the introduction to Teorier om mode instead, since I figured I would need that for the first segment]
Set another timer [did so right away, didn't notice the time]
Start writing the first segment (what is fashion?) [sort of started on this, but my brain is feeling like mush, 13:18]
Start writing the second segment (what is a fashion magazine?)
Take a well earned break, make and eat lunch (try not to get lost on youtube) [it doesn't feel well earned, but technically I have worked for four hours straight (ignoring the bit of daydreaming that happened in between), so food now]
Perhaps crochet a bit? (ideally this break only takes about an hour) [15:22... I felt tired and sluggish, so took a nap, can't remember when I woke up, but decided to go shop for groceries (avoiding writing the assigment) - got interrupted by a phone call from my sister, which I think was done around 20:20 (had to help with my niece's math homework which took a while), went shopping, it's now 21:56] [I don't know what to do]
Set another timer
Start writing the third segment (describing the history of the fashion magazine - I know I don't have enough data right now, but write what I know)
Start writing the fourth and last segment (dealing with the sender and recipient)
Celebrate having done the thing! (I really hope I have at least partially done the thing by now)
Go through it one last time, then send it off
Breathe...

If you have something you need to do, do it. It doesn’t matter if its an essay, dishes, a work that you’re working on, or anything else you need to to do. Go do it.
Wrote this post because i needed it myself.

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?
Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.
Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?
Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???
i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
