As much as I would like to proclaim from my soapbox that this was a good week — that fell into place like neat puzzle pieces — it did not.
This week was one disaster after another, which lead me to irrevocably believe, for a day at least, that I am a disaster.
But I think it’s importantly to remember, even in this midst of this sort of romanticization of productivity and work and this fetishization of academic success that I actively partake in order to cope, that making mistakes doesn’t mean we are unworthy of anything.
Failure doesn’t mean that we are undeserving of kindness. And it most certainly doesn’t mean that we are deserving of hate or pain, whether self-inflicted or otherwise.
So if anyone out here has just failed a test or screwed up on a project, stammered over a presentation or forgot a line on stage, I understand you. And it’s ok to be hurt and angry. But here’s something that someone very cool (read: queer enby biophysicist who instantaneous became a role model) told me this week:
“Success is as uncertain as physics, and life is hardly ever linear. But we are all deserving of love and good things at the end of the day.”
Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
I would just like to bring some attention to this person here 👆👆
As it explains, they are ill and in need of medication that is difficult for them to recieve. They explain it in more detail in a pinned post on their blog, so please check it out. Also on their pinned post is a link to their fundraiser page, I ask anyone who is able to donate to please consider helping them.
I hope you recieve any help that you need in this difficult time, you are so strong <3

I don't usually post anything from my 'forever story/teraphy story' HIDDEN but here's a couple sketches of Rox/Roxain/Raniero "Nero" (yes, he has many names bc he's kind of a immortal). He's my Doc Ock (Molina) variant (kind of 😅) and he uses modifyed Image Inducer to hide his actuators in public. He has a complex past and he's lost many love ones but in some point he'll have nice happy family (or...).
You wanna know what makes me the most irritated person on the fucken planet? Writers block. I don't think I've ever been able to fully finish something without writers block coming along and fucking me over. I'm so pissed and angry every time I look at my documents, and there's just like 10 folders of stories I have yet to fully complete. Like, shoot me right now. I'm so fucken angry.

I know this means absolutely nothing coming from an absolute stranger, and I have no way of knowing if this will have any serious bearing on your decision making, but I've suffered from chronic depression for years, I've gone through some really shitty stuff, and I have several attempts under my belt. But I had people who cared about me, people who tried to help me that I brushed off, people who were always there even when I was an insufferable cunt. I'm thankful now that my attempts failed, and I have no way of knowing your own story, but even though I don't, know this, I love you, specifically, just for existing

Thank you, but I do not have anyone. I only have one person and it’s complicated.
I’d rather be sad cause i loved, than never love at all.
I’d rather feel the pain, than never feel nothing.
I’ll be sad when it’s time to say goodbye, but will be happy
cause of the memories i get to keep.
I will hold them dear, as you once held me.
It is goodbye, for now, but we will meet once more.
When we meet, let me rest in your embrace just like before.
Until than, lay in heart and rest and watch me do my best
as i keep on living, breathing and winning every life’s test.
Here’s another one from my archives. It’s the town under a rock, Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain, where around 3,000 inhabitants are living quite literally, under a rock.
The small white washed town has a unique setting along a narrow river gorge eroded by the Rio Trejo river, with many of the houses being built into and under the walls of the gorge itself.
There was a practical reason for living here. The natural caves are ideal living quarters because they didn’t need to build whole houses to keep out the heat and cold- the cave did that. All they had to build were the façades.
The bars, restaurants and food shops are ranked as the best in the region.
In summer, the town is vibrant.
The town used to be large store rooms for local produce, b/c of the cool environment in the rock.
It’s fascinating to think of them building this town.
Look at this little house.
Even though a lot of the town is under the rock, a lot of it still gets the sun. It’s like going in and out of tunnels.
