The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

I think of both point of service and piece of shit at the same time. It sounds kind of like two people on the opposite corners of my brain yelling their opinion as loud as they can to drown the other out

What meaning first comes to mind when you see "POS"?

There's a poll in this post asking about this question, but I'm giving you some space here, so you can consider what you first thought, before you see the poll options.

Here's some more space. Do you have your answer? Okay.

leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”

“Healing is not an overnight process. It takes time. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re finally over something and happy again, and the wound will reopen. Don’t give up. Don’t get discouraged. Take each day one step at a time. Just try to be in a better place, mentally and emotionally, than you were yesterday.”

The little things you might not even think about make you special and important in this world! ✨ I think everyone has something special, even if they don’t know it yet.

your past is a lesson, not a life sentence. don’t be so hard on yourself. you are allowed to leave it behind and grow

You don't deserve to be alone.

upset and don’t know why? Appease the Brains

lizard brain

questions: do i have food, water, and safe shelter? 

solutions: drink more water. drink things with electrolytes. make and stick to a food schedule that works for you. clean your room. if you are in an unsafe situation, talk to someone trusted about creating a plan to get out 

toddler brain 

questions: have i had enough rest? am i been getting what i need to be healthy? am i cared for? am i frustrated? 

solutions: make sure you’re getting enough sleep on a schedule that works for you (people naturally sleep better at different times and need different amounts of sleep. if youre young you will need to sleep more than 7 or 8 hours). make sure you have varied nutrition in your diet. make sure your medications and supplements are working for you and take them on schedule. work on developing a support system that meets your needs. take breaks from things if you feel burned out, even if it’s only for a day 

monkey brain 

questions: have i had enrichment in my life? am i stuck in a rut? have i had socialization, entertainment, and creativity? has anything challenged me lately? 

solutions: limit your time on social media. make an effort to be in new environments - even if its another room in your house or backyard. examine what is or isn’t working in your routine. pick up a new hobby (if you’re more physically active, consider a hobby like writing or coding. if you’re more mentally active, consider a hobby like woodworking, bookbinding, or a sport). write stories, make art, and write analyses (if you haven’t tried original work - focus on that for a little while). try new music. try a new food. build something with legos. consume a new type of media even if you’re not sure you’ll like it (like graphic novels, radio plays, or watching ballet). take on a long term project and set aside time to work on it on a schedule (whether its every day, every few days, or specific days each week) 

human brain 

questions: do i feel loved? do i feel understood? am i existentially fulfilled? do i have a sense of purpose? do i have a sense of meaning? am i contributing to the lives of the people i care about and are they doing the same for me in return? 

solutions: reach out to friends and loved ones, and do activities together, like play a game online or walk in the park. talk to safe people about things that upset you, such as a trusted friend or a therapist, and find steps to improve your mental health. interrogate whether your religious beliefs are working for you, and if they are, make an effort to practice your faith, whether that is attending services (including digitally if they have them), reading and discussing your religious texts, or following holidays. read self help books or blogs from trusted professionals. read about philosophy and interrogate your own understanding of things. learn how to communicate your needs, thoughts, and desires to people who will listen. be active in your community (whether in community service, activism, or getting involved in local politics). adopt a rescue animal. give money to causes you care about. make an effort to learn about points of view and lived experiences that are different than your own. challenge assumptions about how you are expected to live your life and decide whether you want those things or not. express love for the people you care about - through kind words, good acts, crafts, or otherwise. if there are steps in your life you have been afraid of taking, make a plan to take them 

if you fulfill higher needs before lower needs, you will still feel bad. if you feel bad and don’t know why, start lower and work your way up. basic needs must be met before moving on healthily

do what you can for people, but move on if they refuse to treat you with the same respect you show them.

you can only control your own actions, and if they’ve rejected your kindness then it’s not selfish to move on

Some of you all need to learn what "red flag" means

It does not mean that if a person does a single thing thats considered a "red flag" they an evil abuser

It means they did something kinda sus

It means they made a bad choice

Or it means they did a dick move

They can even be having a bad day

The reason it's a red flag is because it could be part of a larger pattern of abusive behaviour

Could be does not equal Definitely Is

A red flag happens and you mentally take note and see how they react to being called on their bad behaviour and if they do more red flags

Everyone is "problematic" but we are also all growing individuals with the capacity to learn

You will have said and done things you aren't proud of in your life. That doesn't make you evil or bad because you did something once that is a "red flag"

Red flags and green flags are little indications of someone's behaviour. If a person ends up with more red flags then green and isn't willing or trying to better themselves... thats when you get concerned. Not when your friend has a bad day and snaps at you only to apologise later.

Just try to keep that in mind
