depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

If you think the band with the openly queer front man needs to make a post about the outcome of this election, you need to touch some grass.

I'm devastated by these results, but gvf has made it known through their music (tbagg was literally written under the last trump administration), their charity work, and what they say at their live shows. They don't need to re-up their opinions every time something happens. Josh already came out BECAUSE OF THE TRANSPHOBIC AND HOMOPHOBIC LAWS THAT WERE BEING ENACTED IN TENNESSEE!

Like y'all gotta take a breath. Greta doesn't owe us anything, they're literally on our side.

I'm gonna say this once and only once:

not a single fucking musician or actor is obligated to make a statement. none of them NEED to say anything. and frankly, greta van fleet isn't big enough for their words to have whatever impact y'all think it will. they might seem incredibly popular from where we stand, but reality says otherwise and you need to accept that.

when they posted in 2020 urging people to vote, they did so because they wanted to and felt it was right. when they posted about supporting blm, they did so because they wanted to and felt it was right. when they wrote songs discussing the intricacies and pitfalls of society, they did so because they wanted to and felt it was right. when josh publicly came out so that he could be vocal about LGBTQ+ legislation in the state he lives in without anyone looking at him sideways wondering if he's being performative, he did so because he wanted to and felt it was right.

tell me why they should make a statement. because YOU want them to?? because YOU hold them to a certain standard?? because YOU think you know what the best course of action is??

I'm so sick of you whiny performative assholes bitching every time something happens in this country and your "fave" doesn't make a public statement about it. i don't give a flying fuck what any of my favorite musicians/actors have to say. and before anyone tries to twist that into some "you're separating the art from the artist" shit, I'm not. would it make sense for gvf to make a statement? sure. would it be relatively on brand for them? sure. but it won't change a damn thing. they have no obligation to offer you comfort. they have no obligation to talk you down from whatever panic you're feeling.

you know who should speak up? your locally elected government officials. those in your city, your county, your state. the individuals who ACTUALLY have a substantial part to play and who can ACTUALLY work to prevent shit like this from continuing.

danny and sam posted to show they voted. the message from that should be clear: go vote. they cannot sway the election results and again, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE VERBAL COMFORT THAT YOU CRAVE.

at this point, you shouldn't be questioning what they stand for. anyone who does isn't listening to their music the way they need to be. they aren't paying attention to the things they DO say. and I'm really fucking tired of yall putting these men on pedestals YOU created and holding them to standards YOU set.
