Starkid Innit Friendship Bracelets

A PSA to everybody going to starkid innit, after hearing people’s thoughts the consensus on dress codes seems to be wear whatever you want and cosplay is encouraged

However I've also decided I'm going to officially declare project friendship bracelet a GO

(yes we are full on stealing this from the swifties but opportunities for a big UK starkid event don't come around very often and I'm determined to make the most of it)

So hopefully we'll get lots of people making cute (or unhinged) friendship bracelets and we can all share/trade them at the concert and it will all be very cute and please can we actually make this happen?

I'm counting on people to commit to this otherwise I'm going to feel like a right idiot, but it would be fantastic if loads of people got involved!

Also if you could help me to spread the word that'd be fab. I'll do my best but I have made a grand total of 20 tweets and 0 tiktoks in my time lol

Thanks for all your support, I can't wait to see what you all make, and I leave you with this inspiring image of this afternoon's creation:

Hi, I hope you're doing well. ❤️ I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. 😢 Could you please share my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.

Also, there's this whole thing of some people equating the idea that bad mental health is due to outside circumstances with ... idk, an immature, unhelpful mindset that'll get you stranded in depression forever? Like, the one true way of dealing with bad mental health is to change your mindset and then, and only then, will you be able to claw your way out of misery? Which may be true for some people because of the way their brains work or because their circumstances truly are unchangeable (at least through their own agency). And the general state of the discourse may also be a reaction to the whole "Depression will only be solved by the glorious revolution. No, we don't have a schedule for that, why do you ask?" meme, which is obviously less than ideal.

But my personal experience is that when I've been in the deepest of pits, maybe I COULD have painstakingly crawled out of those pits by somehow forcing my brain into new pathways. I don't know. It's never happened. But what has ACTUALLY improved the situation every single time so far has been giving my brain whatever it was apparently screaming for*. Any change in perspective was very much DOWNSTREAM of that, not the other way around. And any time I've fallen back into the pit it wasn't because of some fundamental problem with my brain (even if it kinda feels like it at the time) but because it turns out I've accidentally stopped giving my mind all the things it needs. My brain is a high-maintenance little bitch that needs a lot of things, after all, and it's easy to fuck up the maintenance process. Once I figure out the need and fulfil the need, I'm mostly fine.

So when I see an exchange like A: "I'm miserable because of outside circumstances." B: "You childish idiot! You absolute ingrate! You would clearly be miserable in any circumstance with that mindset, what you really need is - insert therapy / method primarily aimed at changing thought patterns -

it just makes me go "bzuh?" Like. No. THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY BE PERFECTLY FINE IF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGED IN THE RIGHT WAY??? (Whether or not that change is possible is a different argument, of course, so I don't have the same 'THE FUCK' reaction to "Fair, but seeing as that's not currently on the table, you could try coping with your circumstances like this...").

*In my case it's usually that I haven't people-ed enough or I haven't slept enough or I haven't been given enough work recently or I haven't gone outside enough or I haven't been to a fun event in ages or, fuck, I've spent too much time hatereading irritating opinions on tumblr and maybe I should force myself to not do that...

It's too late, I've already depicted you as the ugly pathetic "soy"jack (the soy is because soy has estrogen in it, this is bad because it makes you less masculine and more like the inferior female sex, because men should only be manly otherwise they're "failed" and thus lesser and deserving of ridicule) And me as the White Handsome Blue-Eyed Blond Man With Impressive Facial Hair Who's Memetic Association Is With Being Objectively Correct (This makes sense because he is the ideal Aryan specimen, all of these features obviously make him objectively superior to other people). This means I win and definitely look good here, you should really just pack it up. I'm a leftist btw

listen

ask for help when you need it

Sisyphus

listen to me. listen. your actual job in life, and it sucks that your 5th grader teacher didnt explain this adequately enough, is to ask for help when you need it and to accept charity when it would take a weight from your shoulders. Otherwise you end up like Sisyphus- or even worse, Walter White

Oh gosh yes the urge to Just Explain More! Or I just panic and give a shy “I don’t know…” or giggle and like I swear I DO know I’m just inarticulate with the words out of my mouth.

you’ve been very sweet R ty ☺️ Hope you do manage to sleep easy tonight -♥️

Sometimes "I don't know" is a lot less exhausting to say than "I do know, but if I tried to explain it to you, not only would you not understand me, you'd think there was something wrong with me."

Thank you : ) I hope you have an easy rest as well. Though if you don't you're always welcome to scroll the ol' blog again. I'll probably be up a little longer myself. It's late, but not that late here. Well, not midnight yet anyway.
