Perhaps It's Me Being An Angsty Teen Transmasc, But Cavetown Is REALLY Overrated. I Want Some Loud Punk

I headcanon that Darry does a headcount before and after a rumble

Y'know the stuff on your FYP is based upon who you follow and what you look at, right, man?

Ponyboy “picky-eater” Curtis and his brothers, Darrel “eats twelve sandwiches in a row and still has room for more” Curtis and Sodapop “will consume literal garbage” Curtis

why do my friends think I have a speech impediment

being self aware is for dorks

Seeing my moots talk about and defend characters from The Outsiders that I've never even heard of is so akward (I haven't seen the musical or the movie)

♡ types of empathy + examples . . .

cognitive empathy . . .

ー cognitive empathy is understanding someone's thoughts and/or feelings. this is when you intellectually understand what someone else is feeling, without necessarily feeling it yourself.

ー example: imagine your co-worker is nervous before giving a big presentation. you don't necessarily feel nervous yourself, but you understand why they feel that way, so you offer them encouragement.

ー how it feels: you recognize the emotion/feeling logically. "ah, they are anxious because of the pressure" ー but you are emotionally neutral or calm about it.

emotional (or affective) empathy . . .

ー emotional empathy is feeling with someone. this is when you actually feel the other person's emotions, as if you were experiencing it yourself.

ー example: your friend bursts into tears after a breakup. as you comfort them, you suddenly feel heavy, heartbroken, and your own tears start to well up, even though it's not your breakup.

ー how it feels: your emotional state mirrors theirs. it might feel automatic and intense, almost as if you are "catching" their emotion.

compassionate empathy . . .

ー compassionate empathy is feeling and acting to help. this type of empathy combines understanding & emotional feeling, with the desire to help and take action.

ー example: you see someone on the street shivering without a coat in the winter. you feel bad for them (emotional empathy) and feel motivated to give them your scarf/buy them something warm (action).

ー how it feels: there is a strong pull in your chest, an urge to do something to ease another person's suffering or problems.

Hello, my name is Sahar 🇵🇸, a mother of four children. Before the war, my husband and I traveled for treatment and were unable to return. I have a diabetic daughter who needs treatment. I now need your support and donations to save my children from the death of Gaza.. and to get out and provide the daily necessities necessary to stay alive. Now they live in a torn tent on one of the streets, lacking safety, food and drink. Your support and donations, no matter how small, make a big difference in their daily lives. I appeal to you to stand by me. You are my only hope in these difficult, harsh circumstances. Thank you very much. .🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸

important!

recently found out I'm 156cm and not 157. I am NOT pleased.
