Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

You’re more than what you make.

Your productivity does not determine your value.

It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.

Not everything you do has to result in a product.

Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.

You can make things just for yourself.

You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.

You’re allowed to say no.

You’re allowed to rest.

More stories from hell (retail) today I was ringing up this lady and she goes oh I want to do part of this on a gift card and the rest on normal card and I go ok and then she hands me a folded piece of paper. I think oh OK it must be folded around the gift card, right? Wrong. It is a folded sheet of 8×11 printer paper with "$40" written on the inside in ballpoint pen. I go what is this. She says a gift card. I say this is not a gift card. She says yes it is. I say this is a piece of paper with "$40" written on it. She says "well it's a gift card." I say it absolutely is not. I am grinding my teeth. She says well I want to use it. I say you physically cannot do that bc it is a piece of paper. I cannot scan or swipe it. I apologize, as if this is my fault, and not because she is completely insane. I hate it here

To my fellow child abuse survivors, 

You were not abused because you were “bad.” You were abused because they were an abuser and trying to justify their abusive behaviours. 

PS: There is no justification for abuse.

Sorry, your game looks cool, but the promotional material used the words "wholesome" and "cozy" so I gotta stick by my principals.

Borderlands is so funny with its morality. Murder is treated as a total whatever, but Obviously everyone is for queer rights. Why wouldn't you be? What's wrong with you?

This is “Big Mama”, a fossilised Citipati (a type of oviraptorid dinosaur) She was fossilised, still brooding her nest of eggs, likely protecting them from a sandstorm 💗

Big Mama protected her eggs until the very end. Some fossils of Oviraptorids were found with eggs, leading palaeontologists to believe they were egg stealers! It was then discovered that they were their own eggs; they were just looking after them. But they had already been given the name “Oviraptor” or “Egg Thief”…😭

My queers, we really need to put the "no men" thing away. Men are not inherently bad. There are queer men. There are questioning men. There's men that are just plain cool. Denying these men a space at our table is not helping - except the TERFs. I just came off the back of reading a transphobe gleeful rant about the need to have pride without men - They of course mean me. This kind of stuff is damaging to me and I really need us all to take a step back and maybe kill this "men dni, men not allowed" stuff. What you mean is "no men who are going to do mean stuff to me." And frankly those men won't give a shit about that kind of boundary.

But I promise you there's a fleet of good honest men who will see that and be sad they're not allowed in your version of queer spaces.

PATRIARCHY is what you hate. Dni Patriarchs.

I have a quick poll for people who are autistic (Dx’d, self-Dx, or suspected)

Do you struggle to maintain eye contact? Yes/no.

Would someone refusing to talk to you unless you kept eye contact feel ableist/be triggering/make you feel sub-human?

Share this for bigger sample pool please! 💖
