if you're thinking of going to the gym to build a broader, muscular physique, here is a long post of random tips from a cis gym girlie!!!
disclaimer: these tips are from the experience of a cis femme queer woman who has been going to the gym for the past 5 years, and hyperfixates on weight training. i am in no way a certified personal trainer or dietician, and i do not have the knowledge to train with chronic pain or disabilities. i personally deal with some chronic pain and impinged joints that i have tips for, but that is not the purpose of this post! these tips are also more applicable for able-bodied cis women, and non-binary/genderfluid/bigender/gnc/trans folks with naturally lower levels of testosterone, who are beginners in weight training (0-12 months of going to the gym)
table of content:
know your goals
eat more protein
lift weights and progressively overload to build muscle
compound exercises is your bestie. isolation and isometric exercises are good company to keep
your diet determines 90% of your physique or wtv they say
you belong in the gym and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
it's common to have body dysmorphia, even at a level where you're jacked af. feel it, understand it, and be curious about where it is coming from
extra stuff
***
1. know your goals!
for the purpose of this post we are going to assume the goal is to gain serious muscle!
this means your workout will focus on either strength or mass
strength: heavy weight x low reps, means being able to carry the heaviest weight possible, at lower repetitions. think 60kg bench press at 4 reps
this builds immense strength, leaner size, and is the way strongmen/women and powerlifters train
that also means denser, stronger muscles, which will take a longer time to regress
mass: mid weights x mid reps, means carrying a challenging enough weight to go at higher repetitions. think 30kg bench press at 12 reps
this builds muscle mass and good strength, and is the way bodybuilders train
this is more time consuming than the first option, but goes hard on that beefy aesthetic
to build dense strong muscles, go for 3 sets, 3-5 reps per exercise
to build bigger muscles, go for 4-5 sets, 8-15 reps per exercise
please understand that muscles are heavier than fat. if you start weight training and notice your weight increase, but your physique stays the same/gets leaner, you're likely gaining a lot of muscle weight, which is a very good thing!
if you want a capped delts, fat biceps and wing lats, focus on upper body and core workouts
if you wanna get that peach booty, tree trunk thighs, and sculpted calves, focus on lower body and core workouts
if you want an 'X' taper, go for a full body workout
you can split your workouts by body parts (upper, core, back, legs), or by push and pull, to begin with
2. eat more protein!
depending on where you live and your available food options, you're likely not getting enough daily protein intake
when you lift weights, you tear your muscles (in a good way) so it can rebuild stronger for the next time you stress them out. protein helps you rebuild those 'damaged' muscles
it also keeps you satiated for longer - protein takes a longer time to digest
if you're vegan/vegetarian, opt for protein rich food like tofu, tempeh, soy products, legumes, chickpeas, etc.
if you struggle to eat enough protein, get protein powders to reach that daily intake
whey protein contains dairy. pea protein for vegans and lactose intolerant girlies
you can take protein powder with many types of food/liquids. i personally eat proats (mixing protein powder into cooked rolled oats) for breakfast.
aim for 0.8g - 1g per pound or 1.6g - 2.2g per kilo i.e. if you weigh 50kgs, aim for 110g daily protein intake for muscle growth
you don't need to eat your protein at like 30 mins before or after a session etc. as long as you have a consistent daily intake you're good
but! don't overload with protein in one sitting. space out your protein consumption throughout the day otherwise your body can't effectively absorb it all and it'll just go to waste
3. lift weights and progressively overload to build muscle
body weight exercises are good to start off, but if you want to build muscle, you need to start adding resistance to your training
that means periodically increasing the amount of weights you lift, to increase the challenge your muscle takes
being able to perform movements with heavier weights than before is also a good indicator that you're getting stronger!
if you're squatting body weight this week, try with 2kg dumbbells next week. then 5kg the next, 7kg the next, 10kg the next, and so on.
at a certain point it'll take longer to increase your weights. think taking 4 weeks to go from 100kg squats to 110kg
some bodies aren't able to tolerate higher weights (injury, chronic pain, genetic), so instead, add variations - instead of increasing to 20 push ups, try 10 push ups with your feet elevated
4. compound exercises is your bestie. isolation and isometric exercises are good company to keep
compound exercises work more than just one muscle group/one group of joints - these require multiple parts of your body to move in sync, to perform it correctly
compound movements are also functional movements. think being able to safely pick up a heavy box off the floor, storing your luggage in the overhead compartment, carrying your groceries in one go, carrying your wife to bed
deadlifts, squats, bench press, pull ups, overhead press, rows, push ups, lunges, and farmers carry are good basic compound movements to start with
once you're familiar with those, you can try variations like romanian deadlifts, sumo squats, chest press, chin ups, cable rows, push up plus, split squats to make it more challenging
isolation movements, such as bicep curls, knee extensions, crunches, etc. works mainly one muscle group/requires movement from one group of joints
for example, squats (compound) require you to move your hip joints and knee joints. knee extension (isolation) moves only knee joints. squats mainly work your glutes, quads, and core, while knee extensions mainly target your quads.
isolation movements are good for strengthening a specific muscle group, especially after an injury or specific weakness (isolation calf exercises to strengthen ankles), or for aesthetic purposes (fat biceps)
isometric exercises require you to contract your muscles without much movement. these are good for endurance and bracing.
planking is an isometric exercise. it's a very good exercise to stabilise your core, which is very good for injury prevention, and protects your spine from overextending
a strong, stable core is crucial to performing compound exercises and many daily movements safely
honestly muscle building is basically injury prevention if you do it right. you also get a strong physique, as a treat
keep your movements slow and controlled - focus on activating the muscle group that the exercise is intended for
quality movements = better muscle activation = efficient muscle growth
rushing through an exercise could result in injury, or compensating using the wrong muscle group or joints (ie. using your knees instead of your quads and glutes for squats)
5. your diet determines 90% of your physique or wtv they say
your muscles need protein to grow, and your body needs fuel to move. body fuel: carbs, fat, and protein
carbs are not your enemy!! fat is not your enemy!! not in excess!!
no food is bad or junk food. some foods are more nutritionally dense than others but at the end of the day, eating something diet culture deems 'unhealthy' is better than starving yourself
you can eat anything you want - the key is moderation
if you love sugary drinks, instead of drinking 5 cans of soda a day, drink only one (moderation)
if you love bread (like i do), have something else with that bread like tuna, peanut butter, lettuce, an egg, etc. (variety of nutrients)
if you love chips, have one serving a day, instead of the whole bag in one sitting
if you want to have visible muscles (read: abs) you need to go on a calorie deficit (cutting) - that means eating 200-500 less calories than your daily calorie need. you will likely loose strength and muscle mass
if you want to have strength and mass, and don't mind a bit of body fat, you can go for calorie surplus (bulking) - that means eating 200 - 500 more calories than your daily need
you can gain muscle and lose fat the same time
use this calculator to determine your calorie intake needs for cutting, maintaining, and bulking
you can also use the app 'calorie counter by fatsecret' (ios / android) to track your calories (but not too strictly! don't go down that slippery slope of obsessing over your every macro/micronutrient intake please!!!)
please remember that everyone's fat distribution is different - some people might not store much fat in their abdominal area, some might store more in their underarm area, etc. your genetics will determine where your body fat is distributed, which will affect your physique
emotional eating happens. cravings happen. binge eating happens. forgetting to eat happens. not feeling like eating happens. it's important not to associate guilt when it does - it's okay if you deviate from your usual eating routine. you can try again tomorrow
i've had a decent relationship with food my whole life, so i can't talk much about eating disorders or recovering from it, although you can watch leanbeefpatty's take on how to stop emotional eating, and her eating mentality (mostly intuitive eating) - she overcame ED in her youth
your body doesn't change much because you ate more/less than your target calorie intake for the day. changes in the body is gradual when it comes to body composition (fat distribution, muscle growth)
staying consistent is good. allowing yourself to deviate is also good. many of us aren't built to stick to something 100% all the time
most days can be 95%, some days 68%, some even at 23%. allow yourself those less than ideal days, so that you can go back to 95% most days. the key is going for as many 95% days possible, not a handful of 100%
6. you belong in the gym and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
you paid for the gym membership, just like everyone else. you have every right to be there, and use any and every equipment the gym provides
so what if you're starting with light weights? your starting weight is not your final weight
that means you also belong in the free weight/dumbbell section. take up space (respectfully) and don't be apologetic about it
don't be afraid to use the machines! they usually have instructions on the side. start off with the lowest weight, and go through the motion to familiarise yourself with it
it's okay if you don't know what you're doing at first - the gym is the place for you to figure it out
'what if they are looking at me' most people at the gym are busy focusing on themselves. they likely don't notice you most of the time
i would usually avoid eye contact, and look at either the floor, the ceiling, the wall, or the distance, so i don't notice if anyone is looking at me
if the gym is still intimidating, go with a friend! bring your headphones! drown out the world!
honestly i treat going to the gym as one large body double. having other people working out together helps keep me accountable to my own workouts. especially if my gym crush(es) is/are around
7. it's common to have body dysmorphia, even at a level where you're jacked af. feel it, understand it, and be curious about where it is coming from
i don't have any tips on managing body dysmorphia bc it is so personal and unique to each person
all i can talk about is what personally worked for me
which was focusing on getting stronger, instead of looking leaner
because when you get stronger, your body WILL change. the physique will come
but the physique that comes might not be what you'd expect - many times you've not seen how your body looks like when you get stronger
you might only see examples of strong bodies from media (who usually have really good genetics in the muscle building area), or other people at the gym
no two bodies are the exact same. if you dream of having xxx's physique, that isn't going to happen
but what you can dream of is having your strongest physique, which is unique to you, belongs to you, and will happen to you
remember, your ideal body type is the one you have now
you can set goals and have role models, but please please please do not make your role models your goal
i still struggle with bd, but it is much much better than before. i actually like looking at my body a large large majority of the time
for the femme girlies, if you want to get a muscular physique but are afraid of people calling you 'masc' or that you 'look like a man' fuck that noise. lift heavier, get jacked, become the muscle mommy your inner child would be proud of
8. extra stuff
if you're a cis woman or someone with naturally lower levels of testosterone, you won't get very, very muscular
you can get really strong (and with the right training, diet, and genetics, stronger than most cis men), but please don't compare your strength and size to someone who has higher levels of testosterone, naturally or through HRT or steroids
testosterone WILL help a person get very muscular and very strong, with lower levels of body fat. if you have lower levels of T, muscle size is limited, and body fat distribution is different. you likely store fat much easier too
please don't compare yourself with other folks with naturally lower levels of testosterone either - each person has different genetics, and some people are naturally stronger/bulkier than others, or have been lifting longer/more often
please don't be shy - look at the mirror when you work out and CHECK YOUR FORM. If your knees are buckling during your squats, you need to push them outwards or use lighter weights before you break your legs
if you have preexisting pain or are recovering from an injury, please get a personal trainer to help you create a custom training programme suited for your condition
if you experience acute pain while working out, stop what you're doing, ice it, see a physical therapist, and get that fixed. don't soldier on with the pain and make it worse. trust me!!
if you're just starting out, and have been experiencing common sedentary pains like lower back pain, take it easy, stretch, and get a personal trainer to build you a custom programme. im serious
always, ALWAYS warm up before a work out, and stretch after.
do dynamic warm ups before, and static stretching after
mind muscle connection is very important in weight training
focus on how your muscle is contracting and stretching, how your joints move, how everything comes together to help you balance and move something heavy around
i don't experience it personally, but i know many queer folks who are very disconnected with their bodies
i do not have any tips for that unfortunately
getting enough sleep is very important in building muscle - muscles recover and grow when you're sleeping/resting, not in the gym, not in the kitchen
again, the gym breaks down your muscles, the kitchen gives them the nutrients to rebuild, and the bedroom kick starts the actual process of recovery
remember that building muscle will take time. it doesn't happen overnight, nor does it happen in a week, a month, maybe even a year if you're inconsistent
it might take years to get to where you want to be. it's going to be a difficult journey, but it'll be worth it i think
show up, stay consistent, stay strong, and stay focused
but don't forget to rest and be kind to yourself - you don't need to push if you really can't do it
skipping one workout every once in a while, is a small blip in a lifetime of sessions.
a bad workout session doesn't determine the quality of all your workouts
truly once you start and see results, you will be amazed at what your body can achieve
a free resource that helped me kick start my fitness journey, and knowledge on weight training throughout the years, is nerdfitness. most recently leanbeefpatty for helpful tips, motivation, and entertainment
hope this helps someone in some way!

Excuse me! Sorry to bother you, do you happen to have a general timeframe of when your commissions will be open again?
atm i'm not really sure, sorry.
i had planned to open them earlier this year, once i had my commission prices and info updated.
but then shortly after these plans, i had a pretty upsetting event happen irl and i've just not had the mental capacity to do comms just yet. i've been struggling to even do recreational art as is.
and now with my family starting work on building a house, i'll probably be tied up for a while. once we get all that settled and done, i'll look back into opening them. hoping somewhere at the start of next year. if more life wrenches don't get thrown my way.
there is some good news tho. i do have all the new prices and info laid out and ready to go. i just need to finish the graphic for them at this point for a new post (and lemme tell you... graphic design is NOT my passion 😔)
#cobalt speaks#not to show too much of my irl life#but for those who are still in the waiting line from my last mention of it#this is for you too#and i want to apologize for the very long unexpected wait T_T

tips for artists from twitter!
welcome! this is an extensive guide for new tumblr users, mostly geared towards artists, going over a few things I've learned here over the years.
(tldr at the bottom, short version of this post)
general tag usage
one of tumblr's best features is its tags. taking advantage of them will generally improve your experience (and ability to find posts later, something I think is a major advantage tumblr has over twitter)
tags on tumblr are used to help others find your post in site-wide tags and searches, to make your post findable on your own blog, and for commentary. they can use spaces.
your post will show up in the first 20 tags you use on it
if you use your main to reblog posts and post art, use one tag for all of your art. this will make it easy for people, yourself included, to scroll through all of your art at once without needing to dig through the reblogs. something as simple as "art" (if you don't use that tag for art reblogs too) or "my art" (if you do) will do, but it's also not uncommon to give the tag a more unique name with your name in it, like "[name] draws," etc.
speaking of which, some people also have a tag for talking, usually named similarly to "[name] draws," but again, it can be anything
don't censor your tags. there's no need to use "k*ll" or "unalive" here, and censoring trigger warning tags will cause your post to bypass people's blocked tags/words/phrases
sideblogs
sideblogs are additional blogs tied to your account. they work the same way your main does, except only your main can follow/block people, send asks, and like/reply to posts
there's no need to log into them, you choose which blog posts go to when reblogging/making them. going to a sideblog in the sidebar will auto-select that blog when you make a new post
people make sideblogs for different fandoms, blog types, etc., and because they're easy to manage and post to, many people make them for art! whether you use your main to post art or make an art blog is up to you, people do both
post longevity
posts on tumblr tend to be timeless. there are no automatically, immediately visible timestamps on posts, and people don't tend to think about when posts were made when reblogging them. you'll find your old posts will still get notes ages after you've made them
once a post is reblogged, there's no permanently deleting it. you can delete the original and it'll be gone from your blog, but the post as you made it will still exist on anyone's blog who rb'd it. this isn't to say it wouldn't get buried if only a few people reblogged it, just something to be aware of. same is true if you delete your blog
not about longevity, but the same is true of edits. if you need to edit a post, do it before people start reblogging it to prevent two versions of the post (the unedited original post, and the edited version) from circulating. of course, you can always tell people in the replies/reblogs of your posts to reblog/check the edited version on your blog (it's the same post, there aren't two individual posts) if it's important, but not everyone will open the notes and see that. people also sometimes use this for tricks
reblogging
considered the best thing to do if you really like a post, reblogging is for sharing posts with others, and saving them on your blog (+ being able to categorize them with tags if you'd like)
if you comment:
in the reblog: your comment is added as a part of the post itself, people are able to reblog the version of the post with your comment on it
in the replies: your comment is added under the post in the replies, people are able to reply back and forth to each other without needing to rb the whole post over and over, but can only reply with their main blog
in the tags: your comment will show up on your reblog of the post specifically without adding it to the actual post, it'll be visible on your blog and the tag viewing section of the post along with others' tags, keep in mind that the poster may read your tags on their post
people generally use tags to add little comments that they don't intend on getting a reply to when they reblog (for this reason, artists usually love going through the tags on their posts), but comments in reblogs and the replies are also perfectly fine
if you're on desktop, get the extension xkit rewritten and enable quick reblog. I cannot stress this enough. it makes reblogging infinitely faster by letting you hover over the reblog button for a little window with a blog selection dropdown, field for typing in tags, and reblog/queue/draft buttons, as opposed to pulling up the whole reblog screen (which is mostly good for if you want to comment with your reblog or type long tags and make sure they won't get cut off (tags have a 140 character limit each)
it's also totally normal to reblog your own art! at night if you posed it in the day, multiple days in a row, old art from forever ago, it's basically like quote retweeting it for people who missed it the first time. some people use tags like "reblogging for the later crowd" or "rb for the morning crowd" when they do this, but it isn't required
image descriptions
image descriptions (or IDs) make your posts accessible for those who are blind/visually impaired and use screen readers, which are software programs that read text aloud/make it readable through a braille display
to write them, give simple explanations of what the images you post are. for your art, include details like the medium (digital art, pencil drawing, etc), people/characters, outfits, hairstyles, expressions, poses, props, visual effects, backgrounds, and so on.
others may add image descriptions to your posts, but writing them yourself is the best way to ensure everything in your art is interpreted correctly, and the most notable parts are communicated
image descriptions can be put directly into the body/description of a post, right under or above the image (and not separated from the image under a read more)
there's also alt text, which is text embedded into the code of the image itself that screen readers will read like any other text when the image is hovered over/clicked. many websites have a way to add alt text when uploading images, tumblr included
examples of image descriptions are below the cut.
troubleshooting your posts not showing up in tags
new blogs may not be able to post to tags immediately (a bot prevention method). to make sure your posts show up in tags,
add an icon/description to your blog (you may have heard this is important to show others you aren't a bot so they don't block you when you follow them, but this is also a way tumblr itself determines if you're a bot)
reblog a post/posts (they can be deleted later)
wait a while before posting (maybe a day or two, it's been a while since I last checked the amount of time with a new blog)
certain things, like adding more than two links (not video links, just regular ones), can also cause your post not to show up in tags
an easy way to check if you're able to post to tags is to make a quick text post and tag it something specific, like "testingggg," and then check that tag to see if your post is in it. it can take a few seconds for your post to show up. this is a good way to test anything you think may be causing your post not to show up in tags, and you can delete it immediately after you check
sometimes, tags are just finicky. if your post isn't there, it may show up later, it may not. if it's really important that your post shows up in the tags, delete it and try again later
tldr/summary
the first 20 tags on your post will have it show up in those tags
if you reblog and post art, use a tag for your art
don't censor trigger warnings
if you want to, make an art only sideblog within your account
posts on tumblr are timeless and may still get notes long after they're posted
if a post is deleted, any reblogs of the post on other blogs will remain
editing posts does not edit already-reblogged versions
reblogging is for sharing and saving, and is very much appreciated
reblogging with a comment adds it as a part of the post
replying allows for short-ish discussion directly related to the post
tags are often used for making one-sided comments for the poster/your followers/people browsing the tags on the post to read
on desktop, get xkit rewritten for its streamlined reblogging feature
if you want to, reblog your art for those that missed it earlier
add simple descriptions of what your images are to your posts for those who use screen readers (see image descriptions section)
you may need to add an icon/description to your blog, reblog a post, and wait a bit before tumblr will let you post to tags with a new blog (bot prevention)
you can use text posts with any tag to test if you posts will show up in tags before posting the real thing
of course, none of the advice here is obligatory, and you should use your account/run your blog how you want to, but hopefully you find something in here helpful. there's a lot I didn't cover, mainly general tumblr things people have already covered as opposed to artist-oriented tips, and it doesn't get into all the features like custom blog themes (which I recommend desktop users look into), but these are a few things that aren't immediately apparent/are different elsewhere. that's all, thanks for reading and have fun!
image description examples are below the cut.
[ID: a chibi figure of Vocaloid Kaito sitting sadly on the floor, his scarf wrapped around his torso and lower face, and his arms to his sides. He has a single tear and is blushing slightly, and there's a bandage on his head. Beside him are a melty, spilled, blue popsicle and a wet floor sign with the text "caution" and an image of the popsicle. End ID.]
[ID: the cover of the Vocaloid Gakupo album “Celebration,” which features cursive text that reads “Celebration” above regular text that reads “Gackpoid V3 Song Collection,” along with digital art of Gakupo. His hair is half down, half up in a spiky bun with golden sticks crossed through it. He’s wearing an unbuttoned, white dress shirt, a black jacket, a black tie, and an earpiece with a mic. He looks to the camera with a neutral expression, his mouth slightly open, loosening his tie. There are glowing petals around him, and golden flowers that turn into feather-like shapes behind him. The background is a grey-to-black gradient with purplish-pink bars with patterns on them. End ID.]
these are a couple examples of how you might describe your art. if there's something distinct about your art, like very-saturated or pastel colors, you might specify that too. if you post comics, you might start out with text like "a four-panel digital comic," before describing what's happening in each panel. if you were posting a meme, you might specify which meme it is and give only relevant information, not describing things like shirt color, etc. like you might do with art. a good rule of thumb is to describe the images in your posts like you would to a friend who's in the room but can't see your screen.
#here's another tip: some people use the tag#long post#for really long posts#twitter refugees#twitter#reddit refugees#this is for you too#I know what's going on on twitter/reddit is rough but I really believe tumblr may be functionally the best site for artists flaws aside#and I'm very excited artists are trying it out/returning. best of luck to all of you#(also you can't use commas in tags)#if anyone who sees this has any questions (and read the whole thing) you can shoot me an ask#thoughts#(← this is my tag for posts I make. came from my old url (username))

If you're gay and support conservatives(American and otherwise) I'm not going to cry with you when you realize they hate you just as much as they hate me. I'm going to laugh at you. I'm going to laugh hard and I hope it makes you feel like shit. I hope it makes you hate me even more because that's what your entire life is based around: hate.
You hate yourself because you're not the ideal normal cishet white guy. You are gay, and you've been hearing for the last 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 years about how "the gays are won over by satan and they're corrupting the youth" or whatever and you seemed to forget that instead of trying to fight for your right to exist you cozied up and made yourself as evangelical and palatable for the conservatives, and made fucking sure to pull up the ladder to say, as out loud as you can "I'm as abnormal as anyone should tolerate. Be as normal as me or suffer."
Seriously if you voted for republicans, are a log cabin republican, or (cough cough, David Leatherwood(terrible porn name btw)) decided to try and help get these fuckos elected by helping them tone down the insane bullshit they constantly spew into something not every single sane person in the world would view as severe mental illness, I'm not saying I hope you get hatecrimed, I'm saying you're just being irresponsible with your continued subscription to being alive.
Seriously who the fuck sits with a crowd of people who unironically would have killed you on site in the 60's-80's and thinks "ah yes, fellow conservative minded people. I am perfectly safe here."
They are not your friend. They are humoring you. They are using you to prop up their idea of an acceptable gay person. I get that not everyone is all about the pride and being loud and colorful and you do not by any means have to fucking do that.
But if for a second you think that conservative economic policies are worth trading your rights and safety away for, I've got several mental health inpatient clinics I'd like to refer you to, because something does not fucking add up in that head of yours.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.
the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.
i had like, fifteen raw eggs.
i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.
except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.
so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.
#i feel a kinship with that snake#would that i could be a simple tube#and eat my fill of eggs#but being a person is rather nice too#my wife is a saint#and i promise that most of the time she is the goblin and i am the Serious Guy#but i had a little pique of insanity and you know what it was my junior year of college#and i deserved to just go a little insane#you spent 65 hours a week being Rational and then you go home and eat like twenty raw eggs

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation
#also I know some people express concern over taking up resources other people need but 1. you need it too#and 2. I regularly get given extra because they’re concerned that it’ll go bad because not enough people took everything

mantra when you fuck up is "i'm in my early 20s it's literally not a big deal"
#AND ALSO ''I WILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME'' THAT IS ALSO IMPORTANT. but also it being not a big deal is important too#lest you let yourself get twisted into knots by the fucking up therefore causing you to fuck up more. ETC ETC.#talking#sketch diary
