#i love recommending things!

[silvergyus]

bothering you with questions in statements in ur inbox ! since we talked a bit about books last night- what’s ur favorite book you’ve read recently? AND what book are you always recommending to ppl?

mwah mwah lysm

ooh!! actually I *loved* Funny Story by Emily Henry! It got me on a kick so now I'm reading all of her books. Book Lovers was also really good!

I have recommended The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang a few times, in terms of romance. But my big two recommendations are Just Kids by Patti Smith (I read this in college and it's one of the best books I've ever read) and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Ari and Dante is one of the only books I've reread, and I've reread it like 3 or 4 times.

I also was a big Percy Jackson kid so I'm always flabbergasted when people tell me they haven't read The Lightning Thief.

I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.

If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!

Sometimes u think something has a big fandom and then u find out theres like 5 people in it and ur mutual is just REALLY into it

me when the ship is lightly seasoned with insecurity and longing and fear of abandonment and fear of death that leads to devastating, heart-breaking devotion bordering worship and clinginess bordering codependence

HaveYou Poll Blogs Masterpost

I don't know if someone has made one of these already, but seeing the recent surge in poll blogs themed around statistics related to the Tumblr userbase, I thought I would compile a bit of a list including all the ones I have seen around (if anything just for MY ease of being able to find and vote for them).

Submissions are currently closed there, but it is a great source for voting and discovering new interesting things to read!)

I will update and add more to this list as more potentially come out! Happy voting!

never say never I guess

had a sudden "I want to draw them"

Lyrics from "The Last Goodbye" by Billy Boyd

also a warm up that led to this, wanted to try drawing them again and somehow got inspired a bit

[capydoodle]

have compassion for yourself and for others. it seems hopeless but any small amount of good you can do is just that much more love in the world

Sleepover with two puny mortals that you're in love with (and everything can go right).

Lowkey based on a fanfic I was writing, but as usual I haven't the confidence to post it! Yeah~

Had this in the drafts for months,,,, figured I'd finish it up now so it's done. I like to kinda have some Finished art on the page hahahaha
