I know people mean well when they say it but hearing the phrase “you know your body best” as someone with chronic illness is so funny, like man no I don’t I ain’t got no clue what that fucker’s planning and I’m scared to find out

you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.

be poetic. if you find the way the light falls through your window and onto your bedroom wall pretty, write about it. call it soft and golden as sunlit honey. if it makes you glad to be alive then it’s not silly. you look for the beauty of things, be proud of that. say the heavy rain is kissing you. write about the glow of the moon, the dancing of flowers. make your world magical. collect your metaphors and treasure them.

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

10 years of anti drug campaigns in schools did not convince me not to drink or do weed but 1 singular bad high has made me so so so scared of ever doing anything again so i think that in 7th grade health class schools should gather all the kids and give them all edibles and then have them watch top ten scariest scp videos so theyll never do drugs again. this is a flawless idea

Actually my favorite replacement for both 'kill myself' jokes and jokes about reacting violently to things/people that upset me is "I'm going to end up on the news" like it's versatile, it's vague, it's not going to get me in trouble with any censors or websites that take joke threats seriously, it's family friendly while still getting the point across, what's not to love???

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

let me lie in the sun and grow with the trees and simply Be for the time being.

i grew through childhood like a dandelion, blowing away on the wish of someone bigger before i even knew what i was for.

i grew like a weed- all too rushed and fleeting, undesirable and useless.

and now my growth has slowed to a crawl. almost imperceivable. yet the world as we've made it still rushes past, ever unsatisfied.

let me lie with the trees and watch the seasons change. let me put down roots and ground myself in the soil. let me be a home for creatures smaller than me, a haven for travelers and friends alike.

let the moon and the stars find familiarity in my features as i do with theirs. let the sun and wind weather my skin and hair.

let me Be as I was meant to be.

let me be alive with the intent of living.

fast food, fast fashion, songs being sped up, tv show seasons being only 8 episodes long, replacing youtube vlogs with fifteen second “day in the life” tiktoks, people in their 20s complaining about being too old...everything is so rushed, we have lost the art of lingering.

never underestimate my sheer capacity to annoy you until you feel a genuine urge to kill me.

i know this because i exist in my head without the ability to hold myself back, and i do- in fact- want to kill myself.
