#these things matters a lot in our lives

[fairydrowning]

Small things we should cherish more in life:

Staring at the moon from your balcony.

Waking up to the sound of the rain.

Small achievements/success in your life.

Sleeping in a cozy or comfortable bed.

Walking barefoot on grass.

The first sip of coffee/tea/juice in the morning.

Different colors of sky.

Finishing a good book.

Counting stars with the person you love.

Sharing fruits with your friends/family.

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins

i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement

its been insane witnessing the full force of propaganda and american imperialism with my own two eyes as an adult these past few years. obviously ive known abt it plenty and seen it before, but witnessing it at this age with this much force is... dystopian and crazy

ouguhhh just read the summary and article from this post about alexandre baril's work on suicidism (oppression of the suicidal) and the opening paragraph of the conclusion in the full article. thoughts. rotating

i was thinking about the. thick white gloves. while reading. remembered that one post about how csa being horrifically taboo to talk about compounds survivors' trauma and shame and went Maybe something similar re: suicidality and suicide... the suffering multiplied by the silence, the risk of dismissal or instant change in perception in anyone you tell... and even in 'mental health' spaces the perception that suicide as a topic is dangerous to talk about- that it could be triggering instantly and automatically- is like. i think there's some paternalism there and there's some shamefear and there's some oversimplification and there's the fact that it plays well into the existing well-taught impulse to avoid the discomforting. but like. this post also about how getting through suicidality is maybe only possible by considering the option thoroughly. i am just thinking. idk. yall know me yall know i think about this topic a lot

In a recent conversation with someone who wanted advice on how to support her kids, she said something that made me just go "...well DAMN"

For context, she was raised deeply southern baptist, had three kids, was widowed, all three kids turned out to be a different varietal of queer, and she had basically no support or context for how to deal with that, but she's genuinely trying.

I asked her "so with that upbringing and with those deep religious roots, was it hard for you to support them early on?" And she said:

"Well, no, because I'm a mama to my kids before I'm a daughter to anyone else, including God."

the communities thing looks cool I won't lie.. but I am in agreement with a lot of folks who worry about it becoming super exclusive. And tumblr already has that huge ass problem as it is.

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

Kinda tempted to go back to identifying as aromantic but from the perspective of "I have chosen to love everyone that I have dated. I can choose to stop." but I don't know how well that would go over.

[caffeinatedopossum]

So I've never been to therapy for my anxiety before but I've been hearing that apparently therapists will commonly ask you to imagine scenarios that give you anxiety and then imagine the best, worst, and most likely outcomes for them. Idk if that's like a standard method or just a coincidence but idk, I really would not be comfortable telling anyone the worst things I imagine happening. Some of them are pretty messed up.

And the *best* case scenario? Usually just surviving. Maybe if its REALLY GREAT, I would even get a little treat. Idk maybe it's because of trauma though?

"Not actually out but also no one who sees me doesn't think that there's something going on" is a fun state to be in

It kind of pisses me off that people still hold the assumption that those with extreme feminist views are just "bitter single women". This stereotype should have been buried right alongside gamer-gate.
