#but somehow still fall apart???

On todays episode of ‘I’m Avoiding Editing’ I made sunflower butter chocolate chip cookies and they did not turn out looking good but they do taste good.

Does anyone else think about breaking up with their self-ships? Like scenarios for when, how or why it might happen and for how long. Whether you remain friends or cut each other off completely, and if fate will bring you back together later?

Gonna be honest, I know they're meant to help, but my particular brand of suicidal ideology doesn't like these 'you have to live and persist and blah blah blah' messages out there.

I am struggling anyway. Every day has been a fight for years. Finding hope has been rare and delicate. Being told, impersonally, you're not allowed to die because this bad thing happened when you have no idea about the series of bad things a person has already been through. And now we're looking down the barrel of a gun of either people at best more concerned with the price of hamburgers than safety, at mid the efforts of a united coalition of assholes that needed us for a scapegoat, and at fully worst the slow decline of the environment.

Yeah, I mean, at least we get to see the consequences. The old folks will lose their social security and health care, but so will we. Environmentally charged hurricanes and ice storms and floods and fires will ravage the declining landscape and destroy their cheap ass housing in even the safest of places, but we also live in that landscape. We're going to be subjected to invasive treatment to make sure we're staying in our assigned lane. We're going to see friends trapped in the worst kinds of relationships if they overturn no-fault divorce.

And some of us are so goddamn tired of being strong. "You have to be strong, you have to persevere!" Like we WEREN'T BEING STRONG! Like we weren't hoping for a breather and instead we see a steeper hill?

For those of you on my slim little list, I understand why you're considering. I'm not going to judge you. I'm choosing moving, personally, because maybe starting over will save me, because the last time I tried to kill myself it was horrifying. Your body, no matter how sad your mind is, is trying hard not to die and it will react as such and boy your mind filled with horror is so much worse than a mind filled with sad. It's absolutely nightmarish, and I'm glad those weren't my last thoughts. For those that share my brain-type if you try to make it, do it for yourself and not anyone that says you have to.

I never imagined trying to clean something with a cat nearby would be so hard

the team rwby dynamic is so funny to me because we have a silver eyed warrior, the heiress to the biggest company in the world, an unofficial princess who’s father founded a major civil rights group, and then theres just this lesbian farmer

"Both intuition and past research suggest that whether people deem someone trustworthy depends on that person's past behavior and reputation for betrayal. In a series of experiments, psychologists found that subjects regarded those who previously exhibited that behavior as less trustworthy. However, when the betrayal benefited them or had no effect on them, participants regarded the betrayer as trustworthy. This pattern was largely consistent across the types of relationships studied: friendships, romantic relationships and professional relationships."

my birthday week is like a fight for my fucking life.

idk how to start this so this post is ab individual action, trying to motivate positive change in the world, etc etc

a lot of growing up in the US for me makes things feel more scary than they are. like it’s actually not that difficult to go out of your way to get a bottle of water or iced cup of water from some random drive through if you think you should do it. either fast food conglomerate or local actually, it’ll usually be cheaper than 5 dollars to get drinkable water. i try to have 5-10 dollars i can justify spending on water, and asking for change, because sometimes when i’m out driving i need to go grab water.

i do not do this for me as much as i try to do it specifically when i see someone who’s most likely homeless on a street corner. i’m sure one day i might do this and they might not be there when i come back, but what have i lost really? a bit of time and a bit of money that would’ve meant more to them, that i can hold onto until i see them next.

the pressure that a lot of people feel when they think “what can i do” comes from this grand narrative that the average citizen can singlehandedly fix the housing crisis. rich people? maybe. nonprofits? not in a day, not all one person still. what can i do is a question i ask a lot. what can i do, not just because it feels bad to move along like nothings wrong with the world, but what can i do that will do anything. what can i do that makes even the smallest change.

i feel like it took me too long to figure out a personal method to what i consider individual action. it’s taking time to get to my own financial stability to be able to do more. but for now it’s as simple as water and cash. not water and food, but water and cash.

individual action means a lot in small steps, go get a bottle of water bare minimum and the price of a meal if you can and then just give it to them. if it wasn’t such a miserably hot place where i live i would keep a pack of water in my car, which i still want to do for the sake of having immediate access to water to give someone who might need it- hot or cold sometimes won’t matter. but when it’s hot out, get cold water, if it’s cold out, a warm tea will hydrate more than coffee will as long as it’s not super caffeinated.

You know what, joining that Discord show club was a great idea, like half of my favourite PKC folks are there. And is there anything more wholesome than someone going '1!! hey, I remember that dog!! she's adorable, I'm glad she's doing well!' about a little pixel friend they made for you years ago?

[cringefailfagcat]

the way one of my friends offered to get people drinks. one of the others asked for a rum and coke, so i asked for a vodka lemonade n then they stood right behind me and went 'is olive allowed to drink?' it killed something inside me a little bit. like i wasn't episoding i've been responsible about my drinking recently don't take away my autonomy when i'm capable of looking after myself please. i know i barely can but don't. don't make this one of the few things people will actually talk to me for
