jesus christ. my friend lives in southside (about 2 miles away, on the other side of the river) and it’s still mental down there because it’s a large foreign immigrant area and none of the advice has been given in languages other than english so they’re all carrying on as normal because THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S HAPPENING

already knew landlords were bastards but reading that landlord tell fuck knows how many people to sell their cars, spend all their retirement savings, borrow from friends and family, and pay their rent before they fucking FEED THEMSELVES because “it’s more important to have a roof over your head than buy groceries” and “your money goes to pay my mortgage” really hit differently this time ……im pretty sure the guillotine jokes are 99% jokes but bro if you’re going to extort money from people who cant work without risking them and their children’s lives and threaten them and their families with homelessness during a worldwide pandemic? you honestly can fuck around and find out

When you can’t afford an attachment for the lab vortex mixer (which needs to be serviced or replaced), and your sample processing protocol requires horizontal mixing at max speed for 10 minutes...

Found out from my sister (she’s studying to be a marine biologist) that manatees are constantly a little itchy so they rub up against rocks and like it when people scratch them.

I am now ditching grad school to be a manatee scritcher, who wants my resume??

With the idea of being a black man and becoming Captain America, it’s been a daunting task because I think, at this day and age in America, I think we are open-minded to the idea of having my face represent us as a country, my race represent us as a country, because we’re truly a melting pot. So there is no distinctive look or feel or design of an American. We’re all Americans.

For those of you struggling

These aren’t just for fashion. TW below cut

Trigger warnings: self harm, depression, suicide, and other sensitive content.

Hi there y’all reading this. These rings you see on my hands are not there for the aesthetics although the coloration isn’t bad if you’re looking to be glamorous.

Now that wasn’t my intention. I actually have been struggling recently with my mental health. Stress between class, the fact that I have to take a year off because my finances just are not there for school, and the fact that my meds are no longer working for me has caused me to really decline mentally. I relapsed last night and I had no support system in this time zone that was available to me. I struggle letting anyone in because I have lost people close to me because I drain them because I struggle daily with my mental health.

Well one friend could tell I was struggling more than I was letting on and she stuck with me through some of my really bad days. I received a package today with the note “I love you and I thought you could use this”.

Inside had these little rings. Her counselor had gifted one to her during the course of treatment to help with negative coping mechanisms. I was gifted these for when I want to cut by my friend who wanted to support me. I struggle daily with the urge and I fell back a few steps. These rings really help deal with the urges tonight because there is a replacement factor. Instead of physically cutting I can roll these along my fingers and get a pointed sensation without causing any damage.

I tried the ice cube replacement and it worked for a while but I used it so often that I was actually damaging myself. I tried this tonight and no matter how hard I pushed I couldn’t hurt myself but I was given that sanctification and the feeling of control I have when I cut. I wanted to post about these on this platform because I have my biggest following here.

Here is the link to buy a pack on amazon (with prime!). I was lucky to have found these. The stims are helpful for replacement and symptom management. I also use chewing stims to help with me tearing apart the inside of my mouth because of anxiety, chewing on my nails, and the skin around them. That is an example of a thicker one because I am aggressive and when I am really anxious I clench my jaw, this allows me to not trigger my TMJ symptoms because it softens my clenching. If I am anxious as well I also love the fidget cube another lovely friend of mine gave me to help calm my nerves without having to cause too much a ruckus... I love it because it allows me to ground myself with sensation or allow me to move the anxious energy out.

I really recommend these if you are struggling with self harm or symptom management like I am. These are valuable tools that I can use to self soothe and help myself make progress. Mental illness is a daily influence and right now I don’t have the energy to fight but I have good people kicking my ass to keep me going.

HEY YOU

stop picking at your lip

reblog if you support boys expressing soft emotions

Remember I love you.

Remember that you are worth the space you take up

Remember sunlight and late nights and slumber parties from when you were 12

Remember that life is worth living even when you think that it's not

Remember you're gonna make it through.

Sometimes you just have to listen to some sad folk music and pretend you’re in an indie coming of age film.

Reblog if you…

Start friendships with bugs in your house

Wave at plants and animals

Would hang out with a cryptid

Would become friends with a little ghost child

Still make wishes in water fountains

what if ...i don't know...

we cuddled in a swamp

I simply do not vibe with civilized life. I would prefer to be feral and live in a mushroom

Marvel if you could stop giving me literal goddess to have crushes on that would great. I have so many fanfics already you keep adding more material and I am going to die before I can read it all which is a travesty.

I’D BE THE MAN

in the mood to go get lost in the woods for a couple hours, not saying i WANT to stumble into a fae circle but if i did i wouldn’t be mad

I’M BISEXUAL

WHICH MEANS I LOVE MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER , HOZIER, THE CONCEPT OF DECAY, AND EVERY WOMAN I’VE EVER MET

just making sure y'all know that I'm radically queer and inclusive. some things this includes:

trans women are regular women & should be an integral part of every women's community.

gender dysphoria is a varying and deeply personal experience (I say as a cis woman with butch dysphoria) and can exist independently of medical transition.

nonbinary people don't have to be "man/woman-aligned" (though many are). they're not binary, it says so right there.

define your gender or sexuality however makes you comfortable. all labels were made up by somebody. you have the right to have yours respected.

queer is a useful label & important to a lot of people.

aromantic & asexual people's sexuality is normal and they belong in lgbtq+ spaces.

bi/pan/m-spec women belong in wlw spaces.

whoever else it's popular to invalidate and hate these days in the name of community purism? they're my friends now. hurt them and you fight me.

guess who just followed me? I want to make sure they know they're not welcome. it's 2020, intolerance isn't cool anymore.

Everyone who’s been talking to me knows i’ve been working on this comic about wlws and cats for a while and i’m so so happy it’s finally here!!! :D

I planted some saguaro seeds about a week ago. Who woukda thunk that such large lads start out so smol. (submitted @nolayelde)

this speaks for itself when paired with a pic of the grown plant for scale:

they usually live to be 150+ years old. cutting one down in Arizona, where they’re native, is a felony with a maximum 9 months in prison. 

in my brief wikipedia exploration to find out how old they could be for this ask i found out that there was a dude in 1982 who was vandalizing one (which is also highly illegal) by shooting at it and then poking at it, and not only did the 500 pound arm of the cactus he was shooting at fall on top of him, but the actual trunk of the cactus then also proceeded to fall on him. he died. smited by the cactus gods for his transgressions
