#And the world will be a better place

[amerasdreams]

actually

Sensitivity,

being kind and empathetic to everyone as a default

Fierce and intolerant of injustice

Is a good way to be

#Me #Be like me #Don't crush ppl like me #And the world will be a better place #Err on the side of niceness to animals. !!!!!! #All animals #I'm going to be secure in this #Not give naysayers the time of day.

Hold on to your Feelings; This is Supposed to be a Humorous Writing Exercise

Everyone has advice to give. Some of it is helpful, some of it is not. Maybe I am not trying to become the best version of myself. Maybe I want to be a balanced version of myself.

How do I personally find balance in my life? (Asked no one) I will tell you, and I am sure it will be an unpopular answer so don't waste your time pointing it out, as I am aware.

I gave up most sugar and sugary foods so I could drink vodka liberally whenever I want to and not feel too bad about it.

I exercise a lot more than I used to and I am sure to allow enough time between reps for cigar breaks.

I don't have sex at all. Wait, I am not sure how to counter that or which side it belongs on. Oh wait, yeah I do know where it goes. Never mind that last one.

I became a vegetarian again. I eat spinach, fruit, salads and arugula nearly every day. Yet, I am looking at the Pringles can sitting next to me knowing that (other than the banana at breakfast and the coffee that could dissolve the spoon I was stirring it with) those Pringles have been my primary source of nutrition for the day; and it's after 6pm.

I take lactose tablets so I can occasionally drink milkshakes and eat delicious soft cheeses or other dairy products that my ancestors and I probably have no business eating. I feel worse the day after eating a large meal with alfredo sauce or cream cheese than most people do when nursing a hangover. It's sad but true.

I eat the hottest and spiciest foods in the world and in doing so I severely punish my own ass. I figure, why should my mouth have all of the fun? I eat food that is so spicy, it hurts me so bad; but I still love it so much. Me and spicy foods are in what some might consider an abusive relationship. Yeah, but I don't care. I love him and they just don't understand him like I do.

I drink a lot of water. It helps my burning ass, and let's face it, this vodka isn't going to chase itself. Geez.

Someone once told me I acted stupid when I was drinking the night before. So I quit...

...drinking in places that person might ever be.

I read Shakespeare and watch nature documentaries. I also watch TV shows where people get drunk and talk about farts.

I meditate and do yoga for peace of mind, yet I love horror films. I listen to scary stories read aloud in a soothing voice to help me sleep at night.

I have a lot of skin care products that I use often. I am also addicted to sticking Q-tips directly into both of my ear canals. I can't quit and I don't want to. I am aware of the risk.

I gave up on most forms of social media years ago so I could better focus on important things, like my YouTube and Tumblr accounts. Oh and watching TV, listening to loud music, and streaming movies.

I rarely use my phone, but my TV is running 24/7 (just like I do when I am carrying scissors).

So to all of those who are just watching what I do so they can criticize me (those people who are probably not even on this site), I say... "Who hurt you? Do you need to be held? Are you sure it isn't your life that is out of balance?"

My life is balanced. It's almost the definition of balance. I do something good, followed by something not so good then I do something good again.

Maybe you could look at your life and see if it needs a little balancing act. I'm feeling generous so let me help you out. If you are looking that hard at my life for the sake of being critical, you are probably not very nice and, your life is VERY boring. You can start with that.

During a press conference for the newest Justice League member, Phantom, a reporter asks him "Do you have anything to say to all the children who aspire to be like you?"

Phantom looked at the reporter puzzled before saying, "Children wanna be like me? Why? I'm a bad influence."

THIS THANKSGIVING

five things white folks can do instead of celebrating a genocidal, settler holiday.

1. pay your settler taxes to indigenous land trusts.

2. Relearn your own ancestral holidays, pre whiteness, that center community, gratitude, wellness, and sustainability.

3. Honor the people and the land by committing to a no waste holiday season. Boycott black friday and only spend money at small black and native owned businesses.

4. support native food sovereignty and seed saving movements with time and money.

5. Pay bail for indigenous and black people held captive by the state during the holidays.

you can help us! you can make a difference. it doesn't have to take up much time. please, help spread the word.

#Thanksgiving #indigenous #black #fuck thanksgiving #native #native american #we can make this world better #i truly believe this will be a place of peace one day

Gotham: Holy shit there's a random animal running around Gotham city and no one's ever caught it before. They say it only appears in thunderstorms and anyone unfortunate enough to cross paths with it look as if they've been hit by thunder.

Dan phantom, the 'random animal' who is in fact a Raiju in question: If I destroy this place I'll be fucked over by Clockwork. But if I don't destroy this place I'll keep being followed by this brat.

Damian Wayne, the brat in question: There is an animal roaming Gotham in thunderstorms, father. We must save it!

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with

but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."

#i dunno i've been thinking about grief lately #and i think the nature of humanity is everyone's grieving something #it might not always be as straightforward as the death of a loved one - sometimes it is #but sometimes you're grieving a life you never got to live #the person you used to be #hell an old toy you just realised you lost years ago and are never going to get back #we're all just a little bit sad all the time #and i think looking at the world like that makes it a lot more friendly place #because everyone is someone who needs a bit of comfort - or just someone to say hey its okay to be sad and angry and confused #and when you're finally ready to let whatever you're grieving go the world will be a happier place #and you'll find a new thing to grieve because there's always something to be a little bit sad about #but the world keeps getting better for every one you get through and every friend who helps you through it #and sometimes you just need to throw a dumb joke in there at the end #that's what it means to be human #the good place #tgp

Really urging you to try and unpack the capitalist and ableist ideas of doing enough to justify your existence actually.

Like, yes, we live in an unfair system where you need to afford to live. On a practical level, that is the situation many people find themselves in.

But fundamentally, you don't have to earn the right to exist. You have nothing to prove to anyone before you're allowed to exist in this world guilt-free. Your right to life does not depend on your productivity or you "living up to your potential", it is fundamental and unchangeable. You deserve to be here.

Don't let the guilt of falling short of some arbitrary and ever-changing (and likely unobtainable) goal wear you down. You have nothing to prove, and you deserve to be here.

#water world #Charon (it/its) #disability #c punk #chronic pain #plurality #been having a really bad time lately #and realised that the guilt of Not Doing Enough has crept back in! #you aren't a bad person for struggling with this by the way. in case that wasn't clear /g #the world is a better place with you in it #regardless of what you contribute to it. your productivity doesn't change that.

I'm a cheap bastard with a tight wallet, but recognize art and creation are valuable services that deserve proper compensation. What I want is a a luxury service that is going to be expensive. If anyone can explain how to get a figure of a niche Character made with reasonable quality and a good price, please help me out.

If you know someone who can make a figure of Prince Sidon in the games art style for me, can you give me their information so I can get a quote? I have money saved, but I will likely need to save up more to properly compensate someone for their work.

Tumblr is like the social aspect of a public library for agoraphobes, but if tumblr goes broke we're fucked. No funding for tumblr means no tumblr. I can justify giving money to supporting a community service. I'm donating to my "local" community upkeep. Lets fix Tumblr's rusty playground and repaint the crosswalk.

#I'm going to be going away periodically for 3 to 14 days at a time July and August #But I want to support tumblr and support artists while getting something special #Also please enjoy a happy supportive shark man who makes his world a better place #I'm going to Blaze this

Sure you hate nazis but do you, like, actually respect Jews?

#me @ internet progressives #'fuck nazis! anyway all jews are personally responsible for the actions of the israeli government' #or 'fuck nazis! anyway religion is inherently bad and the world would be a better place with no religious people' #hating nazis isn't enough you also have to not be a dick to jews #jew crew #antisemitism

[thepeacefulgarden]

And all of these are valid.

#please stay #the world is a better place with you in it #the world is a better place because of you #you matter #don't give up #mental health #coping #reasons to live #self care #self compassion
