Casual cruelty has become so ingrained in a lot of people because we live in a society that is structured in a cruel way. To be quite honest you are obligated to consider the harm of your words and actions no matter your personal hardships.

it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.

new month, new post; help me (a mixed Black disabled+mostly housebound nb bisexual) and my wife (a fat disabled afrolatine trans woman) afford to survive for disability pride month ^~^

(P.S. DO NOT TAG THIS POST "signal boost"/"boost"/"donation"/"mutual aid" or anything adjacent 🩷)

the month has rolled over and we are, yet again, in need of help affording things like food and basic necessities. my wife and i are both trying as hard as we can to get jobs, especially since our rent may be increasing soon, but things have been slow going and we are struggling. id really, really like for my wife and i to be able to eat more than a meal once every few days like we have been for the past month and a half, folks can change that by chipping in here (1, 2, 3) or here (4, 5). we also have this, which has items that will greatly improve my+ my wife's QOL as disabled people+replacements for items we lost in our cross country move around 8 months ago. anything folks can spare helps, and reblogs help if u cant chip in. im tired of having to push through severe heat sickness on top of being constantly sick from malnutrition. please help!!!

Baby, no... The sex is great, I'm just worried about why your leitmotif starts playing in a minor key whenever we get down to it.

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference
