Whenever there is some scandal and the person apologizes there are always a significant number of people wanting to continue the callout, for whom the apology is never sufficient. When pressed on it, they'll advert to some absurdly specific element of something covered in the general apology. No apology is sufficient. Of course, this is because they're not really interested in ameliorating anything ever. They're interested in being outraged and getting points for cheap dunks. This is no way to live as a social creature among other social creatures. Everyone wrongs other people and makes mistakes, and it is dangerous and deeply destructive when a significant group of people decides that wrongs can never be forgiven.

REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE!
I’ve been having a bit of a rough time the past couple weeks so I’ve decided to make a self care post of things I do when I’m feeling crappy for other people going through a rough time!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious then breathe in slowly and deeply for 4 seconds, hold it for 7 seconds, then breathe out slowly for 8 seconds and repeat til you feel calmer. I’ve been told this way of breathing makes your heart rate slow down. It’s helped me not have panic attacks before
Drink water drink water DRINK WATER!!! Honestly a lot of the time when my body is feeling crappy, I just have been drinking enough water (if you struggle getting yourself to drink water then try getting flavor packets to put in it, it’ll make you more likely to want to drink it if it tastes good)
If you’re stuck in one of those vicious cycles of feeling sick because you haven’t eaten and then not eating because you feel sick, then seriously just force yourself to eat a piece of bread or toast or saltine crackers, even if it’s just a few bites. It’ll seriously help you feel just better enough to stomach eating more things a little bit later
Sprite helps settle upset stomachs (this is my go to method for car sickness)
Coca Cola can help with migraines
If you’re congested take hot showers or boil some water, place a towel over your head and lean over the pot breathing in the steam
If you have phlegm in your throat, gargle salt water, it can help clear it out. Doing this consistently for a few days is really helpful
If you’re feeling under the weather at all then drink orange juice or take vitamin c tablets or gummies, vitamin c boosts your immune system
If you’re about to have a panic attack find something physical to focus on or ask someone to bring you something if you can’t yourself. Something that you can feel is a very good option like an icecube to hold or a cold water bottle to press against your face
Drinking cold water when on the verge of a panic attack or coming away from one is helpful too, the sensation of cold water going down your throat can be very calming
If you don’t have anything like those around you then try to list things you can hear or see. Also physical movements can keep you grounded, this is especially helpful if you have someone to talk you through it. Start by rolling your wrists, then flex and unflex your fingers, try doing this with individual fingers, and alternate between these, even adding in more things like rolling your head or shoulders
If you’re feeling lightheaded, especially if you think you might pass out then sit down and put your head between your knees for a while
If you’re going through a depressive episode, if you can’t muster up their energy or motivation for anything else, at least go outside for a few minutes even if you’re in your pajamas. The sunlight and fresh air will help immensely. If you can’t then at least open your window
Open your windows periodically to freshen the air in your room
When you’re feeling crappy take showers! Even if you have to drag yourself in there and just sit in the tub with the water raining down on you, even if you can’t find the motivation to wash your hair (you can even just tie it up and out of the way) just get yourself in there, it’ll do you a world of good to feel at least a little more hygienic
Along these same lines, brush your teeth! Even if that means doing it for half the time you should or even without toothpaste. One of my roommates even just kept a toothbrush on her nightstand and on bad depression days she’d brush with that, where she could do it in bed
Get dressed! Don’t spend all day in your pjs! Even if it’s just changing into sweats or other comfy clothes! Do it! And take the time to dress up nice for yourself once in a while!
If you have any motivation at all for it, clean your room!!! Even if this means just picking up one item of clothing or throwing something on the floor away, it’s a million times better than nothing and you’ll feel better for it even if just a bit
Anyways, I love you all! Take care of yourselves! If you ever need advice or someone to talk to I’m here for you! I love and appreciate all of you! I’m proud of you for everything you’ve accomplished even if it’s just getting yourself out of bed!
the fact that im not wearing a long hooded cloak that obscures my face with a longsword hanging off my belt is very homophobic actually
This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.

Teach boys about periods
My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.
When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).
I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.
My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.
My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.
When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.
Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.
Raise better sons Teach them about normal bodily functions.
ISFP: Do you want a burger? I made it. It has extra pickles.
INFP: Of course!
ENFP, whispers: Don’t eat that, you’re allergic to pickles!
INFP: Shh. I don’t care. Just call an ambulance after.
“but what if my friend gets offended and hates me and refuses to speak to me after i set a boundary” easy peasy! that is not your friend. hope this helps
it’s so funny that I get attached to characters who are pathetic and clingy because irl if I get the slightest impression that someone else is more attached to me than I’d like I sprint in the opposite direction. I plan my schedule around avoiding them as much as possible. I’ll fake my death if I have to.
i don’t think many people realise that “romanticism” has nothing to do with “love”, alone. “romanticism” is literally what keeps so many of us alive. the bright orange rays of the sun when it rises, the rustling of leaves as you walk alone on a windy day or a simple thought of how everyone is the main character in their own lives as you look out of the car window. it’s all about glorifying little acts of everything that exists. looking at the world in a vivid manner or celebrating the exoticism of solitude and the aestheticism of every possible thing in the world. celebrating art and realising that everything you do or see is a part of the history being made. emphasising on every emotion to understand the beauty of it, be it love or sadness. there’s so much going wrong but being a romantic helps you look at the world in the most beautiful way.
Thank you (x)
