(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Since it's pride month I'm going to say. Can we stop making fun of adults who don't have sex. Not even particularly asexuals, just general people who don't like sex personally or don't want to have it for whatever reason. It's just not great to portray people who don't have sex as weird losers or naive little kids or whatever, even as a joke

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

wheelchair users deserve a minimum of three wheelchairs to meet different needs. like, bare minimum of indoor chair, outdoor chair, and off road chair. chairs that meet different needs for transport, activity, positioning needs, energy levels, etc.

there is not "one chair" that can meet every need. wheelchair users deserve to have multiple chairs that meet specific needs, no matter how complex their seating/positioning needs. we deserve to at least have a backup if our chair breaks that is just as suited to our needs.

POLITICAL RANT

Disclosure- I’m a queer, trans, Hispanic liberal but truly believe this is relatable for (most) people on all sides

This may be an unpopular opinion but in politics I think it would be helpful if the media stopped portraying the loudest and most extreme people (politicians, advocates, etc) as a representation of the whole party. We have been told we cannot work across the aisle (admittedly in some cases we cannot) but there are several politicians in Congress willing to work with people of the other party. These people don’t get as much coverage as inflammatory MTG or Matt Gaetz because they are more reasonable (and not weird).

I won’t lie, I’m pretty left and I do agree with things like universal basic income and healthcare for all but I also know even hearing about AOC is a major turn off for lots of people because she is seen as extreme. Do I agree with this? No but I understand why they feel this way if her opposite is MTG or Lauren Bobbert.

Truly I think the average person no matter the party wants something similar for the future (well paying jobs for those who can work, economic security, the ability to see a doctor or receive medical treatment and not immediately go into debt, people to stop being killed by guns) but we are constantly told we are so incompatible that it’s not worth trying to talk to one another. Because of this rhetoric we skip conversations with normal people on the other side and instead depend on the media (with portrayals of extreme views) to tell us what they think.

We’ve dug ourselves so deep into this that it’s going to take a lot of work to get back out but I think if we actually talked politics instead of viewing it as something taboo we could make a lot of progress.

I’m tired of the world constantly being on fire.
