how to survive autumn without becoming feral

layer, don't suffer. autumn is not a season for stoicism. wear the big coat, wrap yourself in a scarf that could easily double as a blanket, let your sleeves swallow your hands. there is something romantic about being slightly hidden inside too many layers, like you're a mystery passing through the cold air.

walk everywhere. if the leaves are falling, you owe it to yourself to hear them crunch. take the long route home just to see how the streetlights catch on wet pavement. every walk is a small theatre piece when the world is turning golden and red around you.

hot drinks as a coping mechanism. it's not really about the coffee or tea; it's about the ritual. holding something warm so your soul doesn't leave your body. watching the steam curl in the cold air like poetry.

movies that feel like sweaters. dead poets society, for when you want inspiration to ache, when harry met sally, for the comfort of love wrapped in autumn leaves, little women, for that bittersweet warmth that feels like home and heartbreak at once.

read something dramatic. autumn is not the time for light paperbacks. it's for Brontë storms, Dostoevsky despair, Euripides wailing choruses. books that feel bigger than you, so when you close them, the silence of your room feels charged with meaning.

finally back with my usual tumblr posts right in time for the beginning of autumn hahah. <3

It’s not “what you want” out of life.. it’s about what you’re doing about it right now. You’re literally creating your future. Your future is now.

Finding someone who thinks you’re interesting enough to talk to you every day, whether they’re a friend or a lover, is one of the best feelings ever.

the feminine urge to stay gone. be unseen, be unavailable, be unheard of. disappear.

Lifestyle signs your nervous system is disregulated 😵‍💫⚡️🌀

1. Overstimulating color choices. You’re drawn to loud colors, in your clothes, home decor and even online. It reflects that there’s internal chaos seeking external stimulation or distraction

2. You feel comfortable in clutter & you don’t notice how crowded and messy the space is, you probably prefer it that way because it just feels safe. A regulated system wants clarity and minimalism

3. You always need music, YouTube, or a TV playing in the background

4. Skipping meals, emotional eating, or reaching for sugar/caffeine for energy boosts instead of responding to real hunger cues

5. No morning or night routine, you just roll out of bed and straight into chaos and crash out at night

6. You say yes to everything, always feel rushed or behind

7. Not showering, brushing your teeth, or caring for your appearance, this shows shutdown, overwhelm or even freeze

8. Daily reliance on coffee, alcohol, weed, or dopamine hits from scrolling…. all nervous system coping tools

9. You can’t just be, you need to always be doing, fixing, achieving instead of doing nothing

10. You notice every creak, notification, or shift in someone’s tone, your system is scanning for threats, not safety

11. You either feel constantly rushed or like you’re wasting your day. Time dysregulation = nervous system dysregulation

12. You dress based on comfort and hiding and not self expression, so you wear oversized or mismatched clothing just to cover up not from intentional self love but dissociation or insecurity

13. Even simple ones like checking your email, cleaning, answering the phone or making appointments feel too overwhelming

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

The plan is to MOVE. Move out. Move on. Move forward. Move up. Move smarter

general astrology, week of august 10th, 2025

as mars separates away from the hard-hitting aspects of last week, even the most harmonious of which were not necessarily easy, we enter a week of mainly just good vibes! some mile hiccups may occur with two major stations (mercury direct and ceres retrograde) but by and large, this is some of the most favorable astrology possible, especially in the first half of the week, although it may work magic behind the scenes which is only revealed a bit later.

to everyone who sat through meetings this week that could’ve been emails, then got emails about the meetings:

you doing the lord's work.

Now go vanish into the foliage until Monday. And eat something fast, deep fried, or feral, your choice.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Europe (yur·uhp) is an exotic peninsula in the extreme westernmost reaches of Asia with many fascinating cultures and landscapes and home to many of the world's last remaining feudal kingdoms, offering a glimpse back into a more simplistic way of living.

A sign may never come, so just start the things you want now! There are no rules in life!
