To my Jews watching the election- how are you doing? Remember to take care of yourselves. I love y’all so much 🫂

One more post before I go to work.

Go and do something selfish for yourself today. Cancel plans, call out of work, delete your social media accounts, spend money on yourself instead of donating it, limit contact with your more conservative family members and friends if possible. Do whatever you need to do to claw back your sense of control and reality.

A lot of people were running on fumes before the election, and and yes, there's still work to do, and yes there are people who still desperately need help. But changing the world is long term, thankless work, and you cannot burn yourself out doing it. Readjust your world view, and take some of yourself back, just for now.

It's a bit painful how hard I can relate. I'm terrified. I started the day texting friends, "Election day today, here's hoping I don't lose my rights!" but now that the possibility is so real... it's scary. I'm afraid for myself. I'm afraid for my partner. I'm afraid for my parents. I'm afraid for my siblings. I'm afraid for my friends. I'm scared and I want nothing more than to curl up in a ball and be a kid again and cry. I have to just let myself believe that it will be okay because I have taken all the action I can. Even if I lose my rights and/or my life goes to shit, I won't shut up. I refuse to ever be quiet. I'll try to let myself sleep, to care for myself, because wrecking myself over things that I can't do anything more right now about isn't fair to anyone.

To all my fellow scared people, never shut up. The second to choose to be silent, the second we choose to give up, is the second we lose.

Alex Hirsch just posted this on his Instagram story.

Saying this as a Canadian fearful his country is heading down the same dark path, I'm so sorry to all my American friends and followers. Please stay safe 💙

My way of coping with stress is to try to take care of everyone else.

So here, my beloved nerds, a few reminders to take care of yourself ❤️

[everythingseasoning]

Hey, you,

Yeah, the panicking doom scroller, you

You right there.

Go pick up a pen or a marker. Or go outside, take a walk somewhere peaceful. Stop doom scrolling. Reset yourself. Tap into your creativity maybe, or do something else that will ground you and help you. Give your brain a much needed break from the chaos and the negativity.

You need to take care of yourself right now.

Don’t go backwards. Not because of what’s happening, something that is beyond your control. Focus on doing what’s good for you.

That’s all you can do.

That’s what you deserve to do. That’s what you have to do.

finally took a shower which was nice. won't be sleeping anytime soon but a hot shower did help. and right when i got out my friend texted me to tell me to please take care of myself and that made me cry.

so i guess this is me telling y'all to also please take care of yourselves.

Thank you for showing up this election season. We organized, mobilized, and made our voices heard on the issues that matter most — and now it’s time to take a breath.

Remember, you are not alone. We’ve partnered with Headspace to provide free resources at WeAll.Vote/election-anxiety to help manage anxiety and ensure we care for ourselves, our communities, and our mental health.

We are still in this together, and the fight will continue after we take time to rest. We’re proud to stand with you on this journey and are grateful for everything you’ve done to move us forward. We’re with you every step of the way.

Epic fans, i have a question that may be dumb and i may be misunderstanding shit but i am going to ask it nonetheless

In the canon of Epic would calypso know what manipulation is, since she was put on the island "when [she] was young"? because if she doesn't, then the manipulative lyrics in "not sorry for loving you" wouldn't have had malicious intent, because she wouldn't know that what she's saying is wrong.

she's been alone for 100 years, and she was young when she was put on the island, but we don't know how young because she is a goddess. so if she was young enough to have not known/been taught what manipulation is then she wouldn't know that she shouldn't have said what she said to odysseus (my brother also brought up that she probably wouldn't know what consent is either in that case - obviously not trying to dismiss what happened at all, just bringing it up for the sake of the conversation we were having).

now, i am in no way trying to say that what she did was okay and i am not trying to dismiss it in any way; what she did was bad and wrong. but my brother and i were talking about this the other day and i figured i would bring it up somewhere that the rest of the fandom can see it and we can have a conversation about it.

i feel like i'm rambling a bit, but please share your thoughts! i would love to see what other peoples' points of view are on this (calypso is an interesting character to me, at least in the canon of epic).

again, please share your thoughts, whether that's in the replies, or tags when you reblog, or a reblog itself. i want to hear what other people think!

(also, if i'm like, stepping on any toes in any way with what i'm saying/talking about, please let me know - i don't want to upset anyone)

much love to you all, and please remember to take care of yourselves, especially after everything that happened/is happening today <3
