== David Jenkins ==

Okay so I apologize all-- somehow I missed that all the David Jenkins pics going around were NEW. I don't know why but I thought they were from a while back. My taxes brain really has me messed up. So these are from the past 2-4 days. Now it makes a lot of sense too as to why everyone's been honking louder! You can see him there at WB Studios, and yes that is him with OFMD fan-stickers on his laptop.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. I hope you all are having a fresh start to your week. I've heard good news and rough news, so I truly hope if you have good news, it stays that way and if you have bad news, it looks up for you!

I really am so glad to see people clowning though. I know no one wants to get their hopes up, but it's nice to see that kind of energy flowing through the fandom again. We deserve a little treat of hope once in a while and it warms my heart how much people are running with it.

Hope is the dream lovelies. All things spring from hope. Don't give up on it. Even when things feel the worst, hope is what keeps us going. I have so much love for you friends. I know we have our bad days, but I hope you know that no matter what happens me and the crew will send you love. We love sharing this space with you. Rest well lovelies. Some quotes about hope tonight:

"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience." - Emily Dickinson

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

Sorry, tonight's theme is just... this interview because every time I see it it makes me smile so horrendously huge. I love them so much and certainly together like this. The goofy bastards. Gif Courtesy of @captain-flint

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

so i watch a couple youtubers who react to memes from reddit, and one of them just did r/tumblr. terrifying experience. so many names i recognized. (possibly even mutuals?) in the memetic sense, *the jumpscares.* i had already seen 90% of the posts. our house, in the middle of the town square, no curtains

[coquelicoq]

rip to hiiragi in the moon-splitting festival arc though. first she paints a protection charm on natsume's arm, standard stuff, but even though right before this he was in a huge hurry to get back to everyone else to make sure they're safe, he's like okay now let's do you. and takes the brush and paints the same charm on her arm. uhhhh. okay. this is fine. okay. then minutes later he throws himself in front of her to protect her from a ton of falling logs with his fragile human body. like not only is he actively making it harder for her to do her job, which is to protect him, by doing stupid heroic shit that puts him in danger, but he's doing said heroic shit to protect HER? like he thinks she's a PERSON??? the fuck is she supposed to do with this shit!

I hate when there is anger inside my body. I am very small and my feelings are very big :(

when yr having fun with yr dad but remember he doesnt respect young people or women and will never fully see you as a person

[butchdonne]

like ive been hanging out with this one friend group since literally the beginning of the year and thats been fine!! but for some reason theyve collectively and silently decided that i am Not one of them and they dont wait for me at lunch time im pretty sure they have a group chat without me etc etc. and that would be ok were it not for the fact that it is now halfway through the school year and i have nowhere else to go because all the friend groups have already formed. so unless something happens that means i Gain a friend group by chance im basically stranded for the rest of the year (and probably next year too) and theres literally nothing i fear more than that

[depresseddepot]

the way i try so SO hard to gain even a crumb of body neutrality only to then see some shit on twitter that remind me that oh yeah. a distinct portion of the population genuinely believes they are being discriminated against when they have to look at or be within 50 feet of a fat person

[lightningfilledsaber]

Ever hear a song that you KNOW is something someone you cut off is fucking playing to act all sad and mopey about you leaving? Follow up question: how do keep yourself from beating the shit out of someone without feeling like you're going to literally explode

[poison-note]

The idea that walking without aid is the goal even if you're in pain needs to stop. It's not a prevalent idea in disabled communities but abled people think that if you use a mobility aid it's because you are paralyzed or something and physically cannot move without your aid.

As my health and pain fluctuates I'm constantly reminded that the majority of our society want everyone who is disabled to stick in little boxes and to stay away from them. From the way we treat mobility aids, those with intellectual disabilities, and even our elderly. I've always thought it was bullshit even before I became disabled. And I've just gotten more and more angry the older I get.

I am in pain almost constantly- some of its better than it used to be some is worse and im sick of being dismissed cause I'm young.

It makes me so sad to think back on my early teens where I had so much knee pain I would daydream I got into an accident and lost my legs so I could get away from the pain. So I could be justified in using a mobility aid because me being in pain was not and is not enough for the adults in my life.

You should NOT have to loose a limb (the function of or the whole thing) to be able to have any reprieve from your pain.

i dont get annoyed by anyone posting their spotify wrapped but if youre actively aware of it the entire year and frequently thinking “i need to listen to this artist more so it shows up on my wrapped” for the sake of your followers thinking you have a different music taste than you actually have, you are insane and chronically online

[actuallycherub]

It’s very hard to watch your parent start another family. Like they just fucked up too much with the last one they decided “fuck it, New Game +”

Feeling pressured into watching closely, hoping and praying that they learned and that they do better. But knowing full well they haven’t. And even if they did you know you couldn’t be happy about that because. That’s just not fair.

[thunderboltage]

i know i said no more negative posting but it hurts so bad to feel like im backsliding and steadily gaining momentum like a snowball

its like everything that i was worried about and reassured wasnt an issue, is an issue and man...

im as miserable of a person as i once thought, but possibly worse! 😊
