Feminism is never and has never been about hating men by the way.

Don’t call yourself a feminist if you dismiss victims of SA or abuse just because they’re men whose abusers are women.

Does anyone with an anxiety disorder or paranoid symptoms happen to be impacted by the way the internet promotes taking pictures/videos of people without permission?

Like, does this make anyone more nervous in public places in a way that wouldn’t happen without this aspect of online spaces?

ADHD brain is basically that one Studio C video about channel surfing. . . Nothing makes sense yet everything somehow makes sense .

Someone out there knows exactly what I’m talking about .

some disabled & neurodivergent side of tumblr safety & etiquette:

dont: dump negativity on positivity posts. if you dont relate to a post, it's either not aimed at you, or you're not ready for its message (and thats ok!)

do: make your own posts expressing how you feel; your feelings still matter and your blog is just the place to express them.

dont: speak over people with different experiences than yours, or speak on things you don't know about.

do: have an open mind and educate yourself on things you don't know much about - uplift the voices of people with direct experience.

dont: send unprompted vent or advice asks to blogs that dont have that as a stated purpose.

do: check out a blog to see if they take vent/advice asks; if you dont see anything, ask if you can vent/seek advice first - or add a disclaimer at the start of your asks, with TW.

dont: engage with triggering content. dont post your triggers publicly either, my lord.

do: engage with content that helps you express, process, and cope with your health. take breaks when you need them, too.

dont: treat bloggers like celebrities or like they owe you a response.

do: treat bloggers like regular people; respect boundaries.

dont: demonize ANY condition. including paraphilic disorders, sexual/moral OCD, personality disorders, addiction, or factitious disorders

remember: we're all dealing with our own stuff, and we're all in this together. if anyone acts as if this isnt true, they're probably not in a good place themself.

Dear mutuals, followers, and random strangers: I have something to ask from you

18th to 25th February 2024 there will be a global strike for Palestine.

I understand things have been extremly depressing and you feel hopeless and so do I. But we cannot stop. I will not be silent and neither should you. Please, fight. Fight for our fellow human beings in need.

How do you support the stirke?

1. No purchasing of any kind. Online, irl, local shops, supermarkets - nothing. Make sure to gather necessities before the strike like food or higene products.

2. Don't go to work/school.

3. Speak up about Palestine and for the following week talk ONLY about it. Use your voice to support palestine people, artists, journalists etc. Don't engage in any other content and use social media only to talk about Palestine.

4. Educate yourself on palestine culture, make food and art related to palestine and post it online. Don't let Palestine die.

5. Donate. This is incredibly important.

6. Call/send letters/email your representatives about the Palestine.

7. Educate others. Organise meeting in your local library or school to talk about palestine culture.

8. Put up flyers that will inform others about situation in Palestine and encourage others to fight.

9. Go to a protest (make sure to read throughly how to do it proprly)

10. Stay safe. Don't do anything that will put you in a dangerous situation. You are important too. Take care of yourself.

11. Reblog this post. The more people know, the more can help.

There are probably more I am missing. You can do something. Please consider joining us.

"Oh, don't panic! Stop panicking over stupid shit." "Why are you freaking out," I have a panic disorder. It's in the name, you want me to spell it out for you?

P-A-N-I-C D-I-S-O-R-D-E-R

sudden UNCONTROLLABLE fear or anxiety!

Coming home from an amazing time with friends, only to end up having a panic attack as soon as I reach my room--no trigger or anything. It feels like when I was overdosing all over again, and that night was one of the most traumatic. Which does nothing to help me calm my racing heart because I'm running through my head WHAT I could be overdosing on when the only things I've taken that day were my meds. Irrational thinking.

Pair that with a personality disorder and heavy C-PTSD, and you have yourself a self-destructive bomb made of nails that you never know when it'll go off

One small crack does not mean that you are broken. It means that you were put to the test and you didn't fall apart.

So quick little update.

Just had my first session for OCD. Well, it wasn't a session more of an introduction to what therapy is like and assessment. I feel like I can finally breathe now, and it almost feels like I'm starting to see it a bit more like a condition I have than everything being my fault. I struggle really hard sometimes with knowing what's real and what isn't, so this has added a little to my perception level. If anyone else has ocd and just wants a safe space to talk/connect. My dms are always open. If anyone has any tips to dealing with intrusive thoughts, please comment or share with people who do. Repost this if you like.

Maybe I'll write a diary about my progress and therapy sessions.

P.S. please share as u see fit. ☺️

Do any other social folks on the schizophrenia spectrum also feel like they don’t know how to “people” after an episode?

It’s so strange to look back on how social I was when my symptoms were less severe and how (almost) outgoing I was

Now I’m not even sure how to talk to close friends and am just awkward. I lost my conversation skills :(

< Ms. Butterfly’s Creative Process - Released >

Today is Creative Flight Day ! :D

What is Creative Flight Day ( aka CFD or CF ) ? Creative Flight Day is scheduled days of the month that I dedicate to my creative endeavors . I have a self meeting on the first Thursday of every month to create and look over my accomplishments or needing - improvements in my creative things ; and every two weeks ( on Mondays ) I have a day where I work all of the day ( or majority of the day ) on said creative things . Every month the tasks + goals change ; but I can re-work on them where I see fit . Creating the name : Creative Flight Day .

My leisure months where I can relax and not do creative things ( but is encouraged ) are June ( my birth month ) and December .

What are the guidelines of Creative Flight [ Days ] ?

Firstly , there are things called Objectives ( or CFO ) that I work on during the month .

Objective A ( aka A or AO ) is for written things , like stories , character bios / info / timelines , scenes in the stories , plot and general story timelines etc etc .

Objective B ( aka B or BO ) is for art things , like learning to draw a different art style , clothing and accessories , character designs , etc etc .

Objective X ( aka X or XO ) is for both written and art purposes but accepts anything related to creativity , examples are learning how to *insert strong emotion or mental illness* accepts people , learning how to write more confidently and not passively , how to fill your sketchbook , where to look in stories where ( x , y , z ) happened , etc etc .

Under those main objectives , are sub-topics to work on . I have ADHD ( inattentive type ) so having multiple mini tasks to work on during the CFD’s and the month as a whole helps push my creative endeavors along . They go through all objectives in order from ( one ) to ( six ) . I use this to help me focus , however I also have a co - creator on my creative journey and I include him on my objectives therefore there are two mini objectives .

I’m a weirdo so I like labeling my personal stuff like it’s code sometimes , so when I work on a CFO I write it like this : XO-06 , AO-01 , BO-04 , etc. . . It can be written as simply as : X-05 / X-5 .

Objective ( X )’s main category can be titled but I leave it unwritten .

And. . Yeah , every month I go with this process and I’ve noticed it has helped me creatively and spiritually even 😊💜

TLDR / In Conclusion :

The Creative Flight Template Here :

This is what I call Creative Flight ( CF ) or Creative Flight Days ( CFD ) . It is a personal creative process where I work on three main Objectives ( aka CFO ) which includes two sub - objectives under each main category ( nine objectives in total ) during the month . It is a way for me to keep track of efforts , or lack thereof , in my creative endeavors and set goals for it .

On the first Thursday of the month , I have a meeting with myself ( occasionally my co - creator ) to look over everything I have done during the month . I have a check list of questions for myself and a list as a whole that keeps track of each objective . I can choose to re-work on objectives in later months if I see fit . During this meeting , I create new objectives to work on for the new month .

Every two weeks during that month , I work on the new objectives . This is the guideline I use :

Objective ( A ) , also known as A or AO , is for written things .

Objective ( B ) , also known as B or BO , is for art things .

Objective ( X ) , also known as X or XO , is for both written and art purposes but encourages growth in general creative processes . ( I leave this main category untitled but if you want to try this process and you title it , go for it :3 )

The sub - objectives are more specific tasks to focus on and create more diversity in what is being achieved during CF . Instead of focusing on one task for a whole month , create small efforts in many things . Because I have a co - creator , I include him + his insights on my objective list thus the two sub - categories .

Anywaysss , happy writing yall ! And have an excellent Creative Flight Day today ! 🦋💜🦋
