racists getting mad in the notes on this cute video I posted now lmao. the reason I posted it to begin with is because I was seeing too many posts about Palestine where people were talking about Palestinians as if they are a political problem to be solved and not human beings.

Of course when it comes to Palestinians who simply trying to enjoy moments of happiness they often get judged and disrespected for it!!! anyways here's the full song that they’re singing. it's a traditional folk song sung by the beloved Palestinian singer-songwriter Rim Banna, known as the voice of Palestine. (Rest in peace). her music truly captured the spirit and resilience of Palestine. May her legacy continue to inspire and resonate with people around the world. ✌🏼🖤❤️🤍💚

joy is also a form of resistance

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

So tempting to keep embarking on the same self destructive cycle over & over & over again . But at some point you have to put ur foot down w ur own behaviors & be the thing that truly saves u

#this is unfortunately true#it’s not easy to tell yourself Hey Drop It#like you’re your own dog furtively eating pinecones and rocks#but you gotta#sometimes it’s a Hey We’re Not Doing That#you gotta though

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

that's right

So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor

If any of your symptoms go beyond “just like, super annoying ugh whatever” levels you should probably go see a doctor about that

You should not feel so depressed you want to die, you should not be getting mood swings so bad that you become violent, your cramps should not be so bad that you can’t get out of bed, your period should not last more than a week, you should not be losing so much blood that you feel dizzy. Go to the doctor.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

Endometriosis

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Uterine Fibroids

(Cleveland Clinic & Mayo Clinic are both pretty good about using gender-neutral language in their articles).

two tips:

1. use the phrase, "this may be normal but that doesn't mean it's healthy."

2. couch stuff in terms of functionality not pain level:

"my pain is so bad i cannot make food for myself."

"my mood swings are so bad i cannot go into work."

"my bleeding is so bad i cannot take walks."

don't let them know just what is happening, let them know what ordinary or required daily activities are not happening.

hate to break this to you but if you call yourself self aware but you are only aware of your faults and never acknowledge your strengths you are not self aware. you just repackaged your self hatred

Self aware means the whole self.

You are more than your faults.

You are more than your sins.

You are more.

LISTEN UP!

You think beating yourself up counts as self-awareness?

WRONG!

Self-awareness means seeing the WHOLE picture - and that includes all the things you're GOOD at!

Yeah, you've got flaws! SO WHAT? Everyone does! But you've ALSO got strengths! You've got victories! You've got moments where you were absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Stop giving all your attention to what's broken and START recognizing what's POWERFUL!

You're not just your mistakes - you're also every time you got back up! Every time you tried! Every time you kept going!

THAT'S the real you! So start seeing it!

Now go look in the mirror and name ONE thing you're good at!

DO IT! I'll wait!

You're MORE than your worst moments - so start acting like it!

the real danger of spending too much time with friends is you stumble out of ten days of happiness and good food like oh my god THAT was real life. my job means NOTHING

yeah it makes life worthwhile. i hope you get to hang out with a bunch of people you really like for several days in a row some time soon!

i made your favorite dish. i made you something you’ve never tried before. i love you. i spent twenty minutes chopping. my grandmother made this for me when i was little. i made this dairy free for you. i love you. i want to eat together. the onions made me cry. i love you. i learned this recipe for you. i love you. i made this special for your birthday. i love you. i know you don’t like peppers. i love you. i love you. i love you.

As a caregiver, I'm tired of people asking,"Do you wipe ass for a living?"

This isn't inherently because it's disrespectul to my job, though it is and us caregivers do SO much more than that; we're taking care of people. That's 10% or less of the job.

It's the genuine DISRESPECT of my clients that bother me.

Do NOT speak about my client like they're a dog. "Do you wipe ass for a living?" You could not have phrased that in a more insensitive, ableist, and dehumanizing way.

Incontenience care is NORMAL.

It is NOT gross, weird, immature, or anything else besides normal.

My clients have felt ashamed for normal things like needing their briefs changed or having to do toiletry and everytime I reassure them they're completely fine and not doing anything wrong. It breaks my heart to see them so embarassed over a normal bodily function, esepcially when they still feel so even though I signed up to do this.

Maybe the elderly or disabled wouldn't be so ashamed of basic things that ARE normal if people didn't make it sound like it was the most absurd, repulsive, and gross thing ever.

Please be mature. If you are an adult and cannot comprehend someone needing toilet assistance without making it weird or sound gross, then you really really need to grow up.

I don't really like making aggressive sounding posts or scolding posts, because every single person is learning and we all make mistakes, but gosh guys, this really bothers me.

Stop making people feel bad and THINK about what you're saying when refering to another human being before you say it. I will NEVER tolerate this disrespect for these people I'm taking care of who trust me.

it's 5 am time to be unwell about tenna again

And while I’m on the subject of dogs, outdoor cat owners get a lot of justifiable flack but I see less directed towards chronically off-leash dog owners. There are people who actively FIGHT AGAINST local leash laws like it is their dog’s God given right to lunge at people, attack other dogs, chase and kill wildlife and run out into the road. I’m anti-unleashed dog in public places. I’m also anti-unleashed dog on your own property unless you have adequate fences. Your dog should NOTTTTTT be off-leash in suburban neighborhoods and on hiking trails, I don’t care how well they are trained or how good their recall is, you’re putting them in danger.

people have said good things about you behind your back, without your knowledge. people have shared their love for you with others.

Read it again. I love this rarely considered perspective. It can help change your entire mood.

im not gonna do a whole ramble on it because i feel mildly embarrassed at the concept but my take on tenna is that a lot of people view him so cynically because they can't imagine ever acting the way he does & think they're above it. but it doesn't take a particularly long amount of time being rejected and confused for you to lose your mind
