I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

Ghost Smoking a cigarette

Soap: Didn't you want to stop this habit?

Ghost: Habits are hard to break.

Soap gently caressing Ghost's cheek: Do it for me if you can't do it for yourself.

Ghost closing his eyes: I am. If the toxins kill me fast enough I will be with you in no time again and I don't have to imagine those conversations anymore.

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

🥺🥺🥺 Ashley wrote Yasha's letter so she could read it out loud to Beau 🥺🥺 and then like two minutes later Caleb translated for Jester a children's story from his childhood that Liam had written just because Laura told him Jester wanted to read Caleb's books.

I just 🥺 I love that they get to spend their time being creative to give each other little gifts within the story it makes me cry a little bit

a headcanon I just realized I have is that Light often has a lot of trouble living in the present moment and L often has a lot of trouble NOT living in the present moment. Light is a huge planner and forward thinker and accustomed to grinding through unpleasant current circumstances in order to achieve optimal future results. L is very keen on living for today and whatever is currently tickling his fancy and giving him the most excitement and pleasure and challenge, and prefers not to dwell heavily on the future nor the past. And I think that both of them normally feel uncomfortable and resentful if they are forced to do the opposite of what they are normally accustomed to doing.

it's really funny when people try to say the child sexualisation in Made In Abyss is just artistic expression， or western projection, or whatever, when the author also just straight up draws lolicon hentai.

it's just the funniest and most blatant example of how absurd these defenses actually are, once you get through the obfuscation; and seeing those arguments applied to other things makes it that much more clear that they're just rationalisations. it's just absolutely tiring to be recommended like, a mahjong anime, then to not be able to get through the first episode, because it has multiple panty-shots of a 14 year old, which nobody thought to mention; or to watch people engage in a continued 30-year long debate over which of two other 14 year olds they'd rather have sex with.

it's one thing when the average type of reactionary who defends that sort of thing tries to defend it (being easily-dismissible reactionaries, generally of the exact same political stance as the ones who maintain the legality of creepshots and child marriage while in power) but then it's another thing to see that exact same sort of thing come from nominally ideologically-opposed people. a lot of vaguely-leftist people seem all but ready to re-enact the french postmodernist petition against the age of consent, if only they had any meaningful social base - 'leftists' taking the scenic route to holding the same positions on child sexualisation as those reactionaries. the way the average would-be child abuser nowdays, framing being a 'minor-attracted person' as somehow akin to being lgbt (definitely a positive association to make!), dresses up their desire to exploit children (a desire conforming entirely with the historical premises of class society) in the language of 'youth liberation' and vague defenses of 'deviance', or 'grossness', or 'ickyness', or whatever, is genuinely maddening. the sexualisation and sexual exploitation of children goes hand in hand with fascism everywhere, and was the hallmark of imperialist invasion when Japan did it, when Germany did it, and when modern US or IDF troops do it. it is not revolutionary, it is old and entrenched.

'finding circuitous philosophising that lets me justify reactionary behaviour as communist' is incredibly common, but it's just so incredibly depressing to see it applied to child sexualisation in such an essentially broad and pervasive way.
