I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to
make up some lie, or
eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.
So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”
I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.
MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.
Empathetic Society, is a new group/platform where me and a few others will be dedicating our time, skills and effort into creating dope content that accurately represents all POC. Something that is not seen often in our communities especially in mainstream media.
Tumblr has always been a great place to not only try new things but find dope content and people that are like you that will support it. Over my 3 years of being on here i have found so much support in my writing and promotion of black content.
Anyone thats been following me should know that im always vocal in calling out inadequacy and straight up bullshit that is found in the black community. The formation of this group/platform is a way to continue that in a more impactful way for not just the black community but all minorities that deal with the same issues.
We are here to create a space for creative POC to not only find dope content thats not your typical or generic content, But also be a way for other dope content creators that don’t normally get the attention or recognition they deserve to finally have a way to be seen.
We’re supporting the artist, writers, singers, crafters, poets, gamers, etc that normally get overshadowed by the typical rebloging of old Twitter post or Aesthetics that’s gets over circulated on here.
Most of the best content that has made tumblr standout to me has been buried underground. So here’s my attempt to bring that to the forefront.
Welcome to the Underground.
