get panini pressed, idiot
can’t stand all these ready meal prep startups with boring bland ass food. where’s the CULTURE. where’s the SEASONING. give me some damn Caribbean food. these people’s idea of diverse food options is some kind of dressed up pork, a fucked up pasta, or some americanized Mexican food.
#seriously WHERE is the Caribbean food#where’s the Indian food!#y’all can’t just be making a couple noodles and spaghetti and sprinkling black pepper and salt on it cmon now#give me some roti or beef patties#bite bite bite#make some African dishes!#there’s more to Hispanic food then a hard shell taco!!!#food mention#arebornthought
seeing mutuals/people I follow reblog stuff from other separate mutuals/people I follow with completely different interests knocks me on my ass every time. Like what is this?? Y’all are TOGETHER?? What kind of crossover event is going on here
hey guys so apparently this is a thing a lot of people don't realise but like. if you have had writer's block/ art block for like. six months. a year. two years. that's maybe not a block. that's maybe depression. and you should maybe look into treating the source of the problem instead of just beating yourself up for not being able to write/draw. be kind to yourself and know that your struggle to create isn't based in laziness or a lack of skill or talent.
You also do have like, a finite amount of energy. Especially creative and emotional energy.
The celebrate-the-grind stories where some famous artist held down two grueling part-time jobs to make ends meet and got by on four hours of sleep a night so they'd have time to write their novel or paint or whatever, so what's your excuse are absolute bullshit. We should look at those about the same as we look at long-haul truckers doing a lot of amphetamines to handle driving for 16 hours a day or AAA game studios and crunch time.
So yeah, if your ability to make art has dried up, you really should take a good look at the underlying reasons and see if there's maybe some self-care you need to be doing. The answer is pretty much never "laziness."
what if its been like 8 years
#mental health#adhd#art block#writers block#depression#life#@that person who said the 8yrs thing: it’s still probably smth going on#when you’re struggling it doesn’t have to be one continuous thing. it can be many things one after another#thinking on it I haven’t wanted to really draw anything specific probably since I was really active in fandom stuff#but sometimes I see some really gorgeous art that makes me study it a bit longer and I think to myself that I want to do that#and I find myself studying it to understand their techniques#even if I don’t have any motivation to draw and nothing I can form in my mind that I WANT to draw#even if my writing wips from a decade ago are still wips and I barely/don’t remember the story#there’s nonstop crap going on in my life and I keep on re-realizing that I’m extremely burnt out irl#so no matter how long it’s been just cut yourself some slack#look back on the past and realize that interest you once had is still probably there#it’s just buried underneath that pile of dirty laundry that needs to be acknowledged and dealt with in the corner of your room that we call#the brain or whatever

if u feel the first cramp and think "i dont need a painkiller yet, itll pass" ? that the devil speaking, take that painkiller immediately
It's a lot easier to prevent cramps from getting bad than to stop them once they already are. Take the medicine sooner and use the heating pad sooner rather than later.
This is true of pain medication for ANY condition. My mom drilled this into me back when she worked as an O.R. nurse: Do not wait until the pain is bad. If you know it’s going to be, get ahead of it. First cramp? Medicate now. Twinges of a headache? Medicate now. Pulled your back and you know you’ll feel it later? Medicate NOW.
You don't put mittens on when your fingers are already frozen and you don't wait until the pain is unbearable to take painkillers.
Well I've been doing this wrong all along then
Same!
#people don’t realize that if something feels useless after you tried it that doesn’t mean it didn’t work#take painkiller before pain gets worse -> forget about pain after medicine kicks in -> hmm these meds don’t work#or hmm the pain went away on its own#happens with everything#that’s what happened with covid and every illness#well people are getting sick and have the mask on so it didn’t work!#just because you see the few times people get sick doesn’t mean the many times they didn’t get sick while still being surrounded by germs#just meant there was no disease#there’s still disease the preventative measure just managed to prevent#human perspective is simply fleeting most of the time and people as a whole tend to not be able to remember to step back and look#at everything#because we can’t do that. life is living in the moment it’s not a video you can playback and high speed scrub through for minute details.#this turned into a really long ramble that people would probably see as off topic okay bye#pain medication#pain#cramps#medicine#illness#chronic pain#medication#chronic illness
I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.
This is 100% what working in a lab is like
so what if im doomed! so what! i can still have fun!
the worst thing in the world is doing things. the second worst thing in the world is not doing things. how has no one ever come up with a solution for this

how can people not be obsessed with anything? no piece of media? no tv show? no favorite character? no favorite ship? no favorite singer or band?? not even games?? how does these people live with this void in their lives?

the notes are so right. You don't bother to check every egg until the day one is cracked.
One time I ran into Alice Cooper at my local grocery store and he was checking the eggs so you really do need to check every egg.
