Hello, sir!

Any tips for someone starting a new job? Not exactly my first one, but hey, can't get enough words of wisdom from someone more experienced!

Find yer community. If you want to be able to succeed at a job it's important to find friends within' it; people you can depend on and also help out in return. Say in a few months you're really ill and need coverage? Well hopefully you've made a few friends and one is willing. It also just makes the job less lonely; yer bound to have tough days, and having someone to talk to especially when they can understand on a practical level? Helps out plenty. Don't give up. It'll start tough, maybe even scary, but you've got this kiddo.

And if you do harm, the best thing you can do is ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND DO BETTER. No, you won't be able to fix that broken plate seamlessly, but you can help pick up the pieces, help mend it, help replace it if necessary. "You're right." <-- admitting that you're wrong is not weakness, it's not failure, and it's not a bad thing. It is good and healthy to recognize when you're wrong and be willing to admit it. "It's my fault." <-- not in a self-deprecating way. If you're one of those people that tries to take the blame for things you had no control over or outright didn't do, this post isn't for you. "I'm sorry." <-- MEAN it, motherfucker. "I'll try to do better." <-- Not "I WILL do better." Recognizing you fucked up is important but recognizing you're probably going to fuck up again in the future is also important. NO ONE IS PERFECT. What matters is learning from your mistake and recognizing when you're in the middle of fucking up or about to fuck up and pumping the brakes and saying "oh shit I'm fucking up again, I need to not do that, what do I need to do to stop this" and then STOP so that you CAN DO BETTER.

We all know those people who fuck up and just don't give a shit. Unfortunately this post only applies to people who are aware of others around them and are willing to admit they're in the wrong, so some (many) of those people will flat out deny they need to do better. Fuck them. Fuck them especially if they're making you feel like shit. Do not give someone the tools to hurt you.

But also do not be the tool that hurts someone else.

You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong

Hi dad!!

So I really really love webcomics and also your blog, and I managed to stumble across a webtoon called Dadvice! that’s really super cool and I wanted to share it with everyone here.

It’s not like other stories with a plot, but instead readers can ask the creator a question and it’ll be answered during an episode!! It’s made by a queer person and talks a lot about queer things and there’s a lot of queer outfits of like masc characters wearing skirts and that kinda stuff and it’s just so good and comforting to read. And the art is amazing! And sometimes there’s ducks!! (And it also talks about a lot of important things in general too, I just got exited about the queer stuff lol).

Here’s the link for anyone that wants to check it out:

https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/dadvice/list?title_no=667987

If that doesn’t work then look it up on webtoon as Dadvice by RowanOats. (It might be on tapas too or even have its own website but idk).

Anyways, thanks for letting me ramble about this! I hope you have a good day dad, I love you!!

Hey kiddo!! That's sounds incredible, thanks for letting me know about it!!!

Όταν σου λένε ένα μυστικό, κράτα το μυστικό, αλλιώς δεν είναι μυστικό

[boilyerheid]

will try to use the advices dad, thanks, I'll probably not talk to the busy friend bc they get too worried (?), I had an incident before, talked to them, didn't go well. But i feel so weird trying to talk to friends about stuff like that, it's like they know too much (that's why i like anon here so much, it'd probably be easier to talk to them that way)

if anon etc appeals to you, then you might want to look up anonymous chat or text helplines - they might be a help in a pinch or appeal if you don't want to discuss personal stuff with people you know.

there are country specific ones and idk where you are, but the likes of Give Us A Shout or Go Lead and their equivalents might be helpful!

Certified Dad tip: If you are having anxiety, depression, or just a bad day, it is PERFECTLY OKAY if the only thing you do today is barely dress yourself to go buy chocolate milk so you can come home, cocoon yourself, and play video games all day. Let no one tell you otherwise.

[q-squid]

I remember my dad once said this when I told him how I felt like I didn’t belong:

“It’s because they make you feel that way that you should be there. Show them that what they think doesn’t matter.”
