#do ALL THE THINGS

[thebest-medicine]

So someone sent me an anon ask saying something like “well you’re terrible at writing so maybe you should stop and get a new hobby” I don’t want to bother publishing the ask (already blocked and deleted oop) to give attention to it but one thing about it kind of stuck with me. My question for people with this thought process…. do you…..do you think you have to be “good” at something for you to be ‘allowed’ to have it as a hobby? My dudes..hobbies are about doing things you enjoy… for you and you alone…. it has nothing to do with being arbitrarily ‘good’ or not friend.

To anyone worried about not writing / drawing / whatever else because you aren’t good at it, you don’t have to be! life is about creation and fun and finding joy in the things you do and where you are

Most of the posts in the plaza/square were about people begging for their fits to be rated and it inspired me to resurrect an ancient Internet meme 😆 #Splatoon3

There is definitely something different happening here in Indiana! I just rolled back into town and stopped by my local post office to pick up held mail as well as 200 postcards stamps that I will post about later. I forgot I was wearing my vote gear when a woman in line noticed and asked me where she could go vote early. Before I could even answer two other women started helping her figure out where her closest location was. Then the woman behind me, who mentioned she graduated high school in 1968, said she really likes how Taylor Swift is getting out the vote in a non-partisan fashion. I have never felt so validated in my life. Keeping hope alive for the Hoosier State.

Also, the Democratic Governors Association has just given our candidate another $500k in her race against Mike Braun and his Christian white nationalist running mate. I’m writing at least 200 postcards for a local State Senate candidate in the district just north of me and have signed up to do phone banking for the Governor, US Senate, and Attorney General candidates as much as I can until election day. All of my candidates are women, it’s about fucking time!

ok, look me in the eye for a sec, ok? *holds ur hands* sometimes, your fanfictions are gonna say things about you. Those things aren't moral or just or immoral or unjust. They just are. And here's the important part *rubs thumbs over the back of your hands* no one's gonna know what it means except you.

I'm serious. look at my fics. look at the comics comments (girl why). people aren't interested in psychoanalyzing even my most messed up fanfics from when i was younger and didn't know better. they only care about the facets of my life that I choose to share with them. like if I got an ice cream at a store. or if I made a dress. or something that I share.

hun, you may pour your entire soul and issues into your fanfiction, but no one's gonna know or analyze it for those things unless you tell them to. and even then, there's a huge chance that they'll miss what you're terrified of them finding out. people bring their own experiences to art, after all, so what's an obvious play to you may mean something totally different to online strangers.

write your fics. explore your themes. be reckless and silly with your written words. even if you write your soul and your flaws and your insecurities for the world to see, there's still a sense of safety in the fact that when someone else sees your work, all they see is another story to enjoy.

go. *lets go* be free, and write.

...weird amount of dunmeshi fans have been saying being a caretaker in a relationship is the worst thing ever..marcille must want to killl everyone soo bad because doing things for people suuuucks sooo muchh

it's an act of love, not just a job i promise. we all want someone who's willing to take care of us in some way, just like how senshi shows care for others by cooking for them :'|

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!

Even if most people are just joking, it bothers me when other people actually think it's all due to a failed relationship when the problem is actually bigger than that. Vi getting to this point isn't because she broke up with Caitlyn. She has bigger, more difficult things going on than just a failed relationship. Adding to that the most painful factor for Vi is when she fights Jinx, which is one of the factors that really affects her. She went from being protective of her sister to "hurting" her sister. (Even though her sister Jinx brought this on herself, but anyway)

"Losing Caitlyn was the last straw, as they say"

Caitlyn was the one who got Vi out of prison, She got her out of the worst place Vi had ever been in. And Caitlyn was the last person Vi could trust and now she's gone.

I mean you can see she wasn't that miserable when she was in prison because she said herself, "The only thing that kept me going, was the thought of getting back to you." Now her sister is gone and Caitlyn is gone, the only two people left in her life. It's only natural that she would come to this point after literally losing everything.

Vi now has no hope no purpose and no one left after all the people she's lost along the way. It's really hard for Vi.

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.

Hello, I am Mohammad hilles from Gaza. I am 21 years old. I study engineering at Al-Azhar University in the fourth level. My family and I have been displaced for 11 months in a tent without the basic necessities of life. The water is polluted, everyone is exposed to diseases, and there are no clean bathrooms or electricity. My house was bombedand all my childhood memories were gone. Now we are homeless, my university was bombed, and now I can't continue my education and my life. We are 8 people, and I can't imagine my life losing anyone from my family as a result of the barbaric bombing of the Gaza Strip. Throughout the war, we suffer from fear, panic, and all forms of torture and brutality. We also lost the only source of income that supported us. Help me survive this inhumane war and get me and my family out of Gaza.

Every dollar donated will make a difference and will be a glimmer of hope in this path full of humiliation, hunger, and oppression.

You know what to do.
