its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Is this anything

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Benefits of Daily Gratitude Practice

Saying Thanks: It's Not Just Good Manners The other day, I was chatting with a pal when he drops this bombshell: "Hey, did you know saying 'thanks' could actually make your life better?" I laughed at first, but then I got curious. He may well be onto something here.

Here's the deal. It's called a daily gratitude practice. Ah, fancy name, right? But really, it's very simple. It's just taking a moment each day to appreciate the good stuff in life. And let me tell you, it's been an eye-opener.

I've been trying it out for a couple of weeks now, and to my surprise, it's kinda cool. Here's what I've noticed:

My attitude improved: Strange, but true. Even on the worst days, I find something to be thankful for, which slightly lifts up my spirits.

I sleep like a baby: Used to toss and turn, but these days? Lights out, I'm gone.

Folks love me more: Maybe it's because I am not such a grump anymore? Who knew saying "thanks" was so powerful?

Stress? What stress?: Okay, it's still here, but it doesn't feel like the world is coming to an end anymore.

I feel. healthier?: Can't explain it, but I'm not catching every little cold that goes through the office.

Bouncing back is easier: Life throws me the curveballs, but I don't fall to my knees as easily as I used to.

I'm starting to like. me?:.

Am I lying? It's not sunshine and rainbows all day, every day. Life is life, you know? But the good stuff focus? Helps a lot.

Want to give it a try? Not rocket science. Just think of three good things a day. They don't have to be huge. That hit from that first cup of coffee in the morning? Totally counts. Or the moment your kid eats their veggies without a fight? Jackpot!

Okay, I'm not promoting miracles here, but from one skeptic to another? Gives it a go, don't you think? You never know; you might just be grateful for it.
