It seems like all I read or see is about loss. To have hope for the future feels foolish. Why waste your prayers when everything is burning to the ground? Why try when we are told that there is no more time left?

Hopelessness is capitalism’s biggest tool. If you are stuck in a black hole of “what’s the point,” you’ll let yourself sink into the nothingness they want you to feel.

When you start searching for hope, you start finding it in everything. There are people fighting, all over the world, people who have less power and resources than you and me. For them, losing hope isn’t an option. They need our help because your hope is theirs; and theirs is yours.

“Eating to Extinction” is a book by journalist Dan Saladino, who traveled the world to tell the stories of the world’s most at risk foods. Once these foods are gone they will leave devastating impacts on our ecosystem. In each chapter you learn about a food item at risk; you are told its history the legacy it holds and the culture it inspired. The Kavilca wheat’s ancient connection to Anatolia, Bison and the Great Plains, Memang Narang from the Garo Hills in India - these stories brought me to my knees. I know so much, but know so very little.

There are certain stories that make the foundation of who I am and one of those stories are of the world’s first seed bank created by Nikolai Vavilov. This seed bank had over 150,000 seed samples, collected by Vavilov and his colleagues to study and save for future famines. Sadly the seed bank was under attack by the Nazi’s during World War 2. They saw the Seed Bank as an incredible genetic resource and knew they had to have it. 900 days this seed bank was under attack and the caretakers of the seeds never gave up. 9 of the caretakers died of starvation. Instead of saving themselves and eating the seeds they gave their lives up for future generations. For the earth.

We have to honor the lives of those before us who gave up everything, so we can have a more beautiful future. We can honor them by planting something native and endangered, that’ll give life for years after we’re gone. We can start to examine what we buy in the grocery store. Have you gone to your local farmer’s market recently? We all can take small steps to eating more diversely. I know it’s a lot to take on, but what are we here for if it’s not to take care of each other?

I remember when Winnie Wednesday and the hive mind on Twitter consistently made poor decisions and thirsted over #ughjay. And now I’m holding the physical story (with hopefully less poor decisions that get us killed) in my hand

Can you write an au where Daemon returns early to Kingslading maybe just before or just after Joffrey is born and he freaks out when he finds out/sees that Alicent ordered Rhaenyra to walk to the queen's quarters right after giving birth?

I feel honoured by such a request! What an interesting fanfiction it could be. Anyone else interested?

Also, I need more information about that, why Alicent is ordering Rhaenyra to walk to the queen's quarters right after giving birth? What's the purpose?

And I'm currently on holidays, it's too difficult for me to write a fanfiction here.

But I hope that someone else will read that and write about it.

What about you? Wants to write about it?

So I just read The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni (awesome book, Do recommend). But now I’m left with that quote about singing in the bad times swirling in my head… you know the one “in the bad times will there be singing? Yes. About the bad times” or whatever.

And like. It is simultaneously nothing like what the book was actually about, nor what the ending was about, and yet bang on with the vibes.

Idk. It was a book all right.

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

#og #truly if youre not about it your against it and i dont fuck with you because you're complacent #wake the fuck up #we're all responsible and dont you dare say you're not #americans need to stop living in the world with their eyes closed and their ears covered #look at what your fucking 'glorious country' is doing to people #everyone should be against america no fucking exceptions because america is violent and evil and needs to be stopped #then read about what america has done to the natives of their land #radicalize yourself #decolonize your mind #free palestine #land back #palestine will be free #theres too many fucking movements of just the past couple years all happening at once to act like the world is fucking fine #we are in a human rights CRISIS #WAKE THE FUCK UP PLEASE

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.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics
