I like a lot of things

The Kiss of Life - A utility worker giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker after he contacted a low voltage wire, 1967

Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this photo called “The Kiss of Life” shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a low voltage line. Thompson over 400 feet away recognized the critical situation and ran to the pole and scaled it to reach Champion. Realizing champion wasn’t breathing he delivered CPR and chest compression while supporting his friend; super impressive /difficult given the angle (if you get it wrong air goes into the stomach and inflates that instead).

This all happened oddly in Champions work anniversary. And weirder Rocco Morabito, a newspaper photographer who had been covering a strike down the road with eastern freight (this happened in Florida btw) happened to be nearby with his camera in a time that no one carried cameras daily. This photo won him the Pulitzer Prize for journalism photography.

Babe are you okay? I saw you reblogged The Kiss of Life, 1967 again.

If you went by what you see on TV you’d think the nation was gripped in a collective outpouring of grief and.. it isn’t! No spontaneous flower tributes, no black armbands. People are just getting on with their lives. The only public displays are by brands and businesses.

Look at the number of flowers in town today under the queen statue. They’ve optimistically set the barriers far back anticipating thousands. There’s about 15. There was no one there paying their respects either. Literally no one. The biggest queue was at a burger van nearby.

“suffering feels religious if you do it right” no shut up it doesn’t. my friends laughing in the kitchen while i make dinner feels religious. the sun on my face after a long winter feels religious.

somebody in the notes posted this screenshot from the one & only, ursula k let guin. and now i'm screaming wtf

uh hi so!

i wrote this webpage that walks u thru looking after yourself when you know a thought is making you spiral. deployed it publicly bc i wanted it on mobile and i thought other people might like it too

You're a hero op

I don’t know if op is aware of this, but this is very similar to a method I know about from therapy. If you can’t pick out the flawed parts of the thought, you can say it in a ridiculous voice to make it seem less valid. It really works! (For me at least)

Separating yourself from the thought can also help. It’s sometimes easier to look critically at something when you’re not the one who said it. This also reminds of thinking traps, which have helped me tremendously with my social anxiety. 

(tip: be careful with number 2, ‘Emotional reasoning’. While just because you feel something doesn’t mean it’s true, simultaneously, your emotions are never wrong. They may come from thoughts not based in reality, but your emotions make sense from the thought that it stemmed from. I.e. “I forgot to submit my assignment on time. I am so dumb.”--> shame, anger. You are not dumb because you didn’t submit the assignment on time. AND it makes sense that you feel ashamed if you are telling yourself that you’re dumb.)

hello op here! yeah, this website came about because i wanted to put all of my skills from two years of therapy into one place, so i could access them easily when spiraling.

my therapist and i spent a session printing out pictures of ben shapiro and drawing speech bubbles where he would say the bad thoughts i have about myself. VERY funny in terms of situations to be in but very effective in terms of therapy.

i’m glad you recognise the skills in this and that it’s effective for you!

“Sorry this chapter is late!! I spent the last few days trying to find a laptop charger in the zombie horde wastelands, you know how it is. Anyway, as always, betaed by sasukesass52, who spent all her designated wifi time in the bunker screaming at me on discord, so I know all of you will love this chapter and the next. Enjoy~”

Gonna assume the queen dying sucks kinda in the same way it would have sucked if Trump died while he was the president in the sense that we'd all be meme-ing about it all to hell but every official news outlet and all the politicians even ones who hate him and shit would be forced to treat it like this Horrible Somber Event and talk about how unpatriotic celebrating is and how we have to be nice cuz he was the president and then he'd basically become this untouchable martyr and it would overshadow every shitty thing his government had ever done and was continuing to do until they could basically get away with whatever

But like 8000000% worse

like full sympathy to the uk working class bcs if I had to listen to a single person say "this is bigger than politics we have to come together as americans to mourn our leader" I'd immediately go commit arson so yeah I am so sorry you're gonna have to put up with an infinitely worse version of that

The hideous and egregious amount this will effect our economy by paying billions for both a funeral and a coronation as well as destroy news on far more important events is honestly hard to wrap my head around However I still have to celebrate the little thinigs while I can do for today I will feel joy Tomorrow will be time for wrath

My hot take is that it's cartoonishly evil how one of the core pillars of christianity is that their goal is to convert the entire world & they explicitly state this very frequently & everybody's just like yeah that's normal

shopping carts are pathetic little herd animals and when you don’t bring them back to their corrals after they’re done helping you they scream and cry and wail because they’re alone and scared and exposed to predators. you have the power to prevent this

You guys can't post stuff like this it makes me sad

Chris Pine refuses to answer the question “Would you swipe left or right for Anna Kendrick on Tinder?” and instead gives this response

Still can’t believe that this same man had to sit next to someone who could only say “My favorite thing about the movie is that it feels like a movie”…

part of why rich people act weird has to be those luxury modern apartments where everything is white. like eventually they probably start experiencing symptoms of sensory deprivation torture and decide to become an influencer or life coach or something

im gonna be honest, i love the new tumblr icon. it feels very in line with what tumblr has been doing recently (completely ignoring what every other social media platform is doing and taking a hard left into “what the fuck is that” territory).

it has absolutely nothing to do with any of tumblr’s other branding or any current design trends (that i’ve seen) and that’s honestly perfect.

i feel like this guy is the spiritual successor to clippy and i love that and i think he needs a name.

(i also feel like this is the face everyone makes when they use the blaze feature to force their shitposts onto the feeds of 500 random, unsuspecting victims.)

actually i lied he’s not perfect. there’s one change i would make.

Ya’ll complain you don’t want the peeps from facebook and twitter and insta to come back here and ruin this place but you dont appreciate the gunshots we gotta fire into the air to lower property values.

i personally think there is a huge moral problem in the government/country when millions of pounds are going to be spent on the funeral and the subsequent coronation when people cannot afford to heat their homes and feed their children
