My favorite thing about this is that the “traditional” woman isn’t always on the left. By switching it up the artist is really committing to the idea that the right way for a woman to be is however she wants.
Just wish some of the women were plus size..
I really love how much Lainey’s art and positivity is bringing people joy and I really hope you’re checking out her insta, it’s full of so many more
It got better
Okay I haven’t reblogged this addition
Examples of negative thoughts:
Examples of intrusive thoughts:
As you can see from the examples above, intrusive thoughts are often questions, as if to deliberately provoke rumination and obsessing (in which the initial question is never truly answered). Intrusive thoughts can come about randomly, are graphic/disturbing in nature, and have no connection to the person’s usual behaviour or even the situation at hand. They are difficult to ignore because they either imply a catastrophic consequence or give the person an increasing sense of discomfort. Intrusive thoughts can also come in the form of false memories in which it’s difficult to tell if it’s an intrusive thought or a memory.
Anyone can have intrusive thoughts from time to time. However when the thoughts are more frequent and/or distressing it often indicates mental illness. Conditions that have intrusive thoughts as symptoms include: OCD, social/general anxiety disorder, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson’s disease.
Negative thoughts are more likely to be an emotional response to an event, relationship, or situation and are the result of a person’s low self esteem or past trauma.
Sometimes negative thoughts can lead to or come after intrusive thoughts; e.g believing you’re being ignored and then having intrusive thoughts questioning/listing odd reasons why the other person is doing so, or having a specific intrusive thought about a loved one and believing yourself to be an awful person.
With negative thoughts treatment usually consists of re-framing them, and seeing the situation from a different, more positive perspective in order to adjust your thinking patterns and behaviour in the future. “If they’re ignoring me, that’s their problem. While I don’t understand why I won’t hold it against them. They might be busy, as people often are.”
With intrusive thoughts treatment can focus on the person allowing the thoughts to pass through the mind, reminding themselves that the thoughts are involuntary, and to not fear these thoughts or react emotionally to them (cognitive diffusion). Often a way to do this is through exposure, in which the person builds up to confronting their intrusive thoughts/object of fear and sitting with the uncomfortable feeling until it no longer bothers them and being able to do daily activities despite the anxiety.
*You don’t need to donate to change.org, donate directly to the families. Also if there’s a problem with a petition, please dm me instead of reblogging so I can fix it faster. *
I don’t make much money so I can’t really donate to people here. I still care immensely about this movement and the welfare of those facing hardships. if you’re in the same boat as me but still want to help BLM and everyone who’s name is here, sign these petitions and share. Stop asking for people in this movement to explain their frustrations to you. Stop posting like you’re the one exception to racism. Stop scrolling past these posts like it’s just another day. Accept the position you’re in and use it to help others around you.
I signed the Elijah McClain petition four times. I sign breonna Taylor’s every time I see. I am going to sign all of these even if I already signed on.
My therapist asked me to create something “motivating” so I made these.
lol.
I really love these, and I reblog them every single time. Some of you don’t realize how easy it’s to forget to do some of those stuff or how hard they can be some days.
can’t risk it
THIS PIECE OF PICTURE WORKS.
Gotta take all the chances…..
Never risk it
i had to
Me- I don’t wanna go to class today. I feel out of it
*classes is cancelled *
Me- God???? Is that you???
Me: I️ don’t want to go to work today
Boss:
(Looks like God’s got both our backs today)
Bless this day ❤️❤️❤️
I swear this post is blessed or something because I said “I want a reason to go somewhere” while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2
He’s coming to boop you

One for the lads
REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG
Also!! Disabled boys and boys who are pre-hrt/surgeries are all wonderful handsome lads!!
I basically need this reminder every day
Fuck spreading hate like wildfire, spread this! Compassion, love and pride during pride month!!
Some poc parents showing their support because images like these are rarely shown and hard to find.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
SPREAD THIS LIKE WILD FIRE.
These pictures fill my heart with such joy. My father died before I came out so I’ll never truly know how he would have felt, but I like to think he would have been this supportive. Proud parents of queer folks, you give even those who aren’t your children strength!
What’s so bad about periods
At first I was like “no don’t reblog it’ll weird people out” then I was like “oh right that’s the point”
You also lose iron during menstruation. I actually passed out because of that yesterday.
Also shout out to all trans, gender-fluid or genderless people with menstruation out there! Periods don’t make you female. Only you define your gender!
Actually there is a good chance that is not the lack of iron making you pass out but instead drops on blood pressure!
I found this out recently. I’ve always been told my fainting/dizzy spells during my period were iron related but I did some research and because I have a history of low blood pressure and fainting related to it (in times of a restricted diet and pregnancy) it’s far more likely that’s the reason I’m fainting
A lot of other AFAB people report the same
I ended up in the hospital due to severe blood loss and needed transfusions to recover
Not to mention the dip in your immune system when you lose that much blood, just because of all the white blood cells pouring out along with the rest of it.
Or the fact that a lot of the painful/severe symptoms associated with periods are actually due to medical problems that need to be addressed, but people don’t know this because no one wants to talk about it and associate most of the symptoms with a fictional version of PMS

No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.
So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.
Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…

Three bears went through my trash
As most of you know, in July i had two major hospital stays. The first being for my mental health, as I became suicidal and relapsed into self harm. The second was about two weeks later, when I had a rare reaction to a new medication they put me on in the hospital called Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome. I had high fevers not dipping below 102 degrees for a week, and at one point it spiked to 106 degrees and I was admitted to the ICU. On top of that, I had another reaction to another medicine that resulted in a feverish and itchy rash all over my entire body, face included. July was a really rough month for me.
I only made $538 dollars last month, which doesn’t even cover my rent, much less my medication, food, basic necessities, and my utility bills.
I’ve set up a Ko-fi, a PayPal pool, and i have both CashApp and Venmo, and I am just so desperately asking that if you’re in a position to donate a few dollars to help me out, I would be eternally grateful. I’m in the process of looking for a second job to cover expenses, but in the meantime I’m just asking for help.
You can buy me a Ko-fi here You can donate through PayPal here or Venmo/CashApp @emileebizzle
Please don’t feel pressured in any way, but the support, literally anything at all, would help so much and make such a difference. Even reblogging this post could help.
thank you so, so much.
i love you so much. don’t forget it.
reblogging this because I’m in a season of my life where I’m just struggling insanely hard. You can also commission handlettering pieces — $15 for a 5x7 or 20 for an 8x11. Or bookmarks $3 a piece. Everything is hand painted and hand lettered. DM me for commission details.
Santa is on strike due to global warming. All presents this year will be delivered by Sasha the Christmas Tiger. Milk and cookies may not be sufficient.

SASHA’S BACK ON MY DASH!
Y’all better behave, you have two months
You better watch out
YESSS
THE FACE *Wheeze*
WHEN WILL PEOPLE FUCKING REALIZE THAT
MEN
ALSO
ARE
GIVEN
UNREALISTIC
EXPECTATIONS
DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA
HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS
TO LOOK LIKE THIS???
IT’S 100% FUCKING ILLOGICAL TO EXPECT MEN TO HAVE THIS RIPPED SIX-PACK ABS AND BE SKINNY AND HAVE PERFECT SKIN AND FACIAL COMPLEXION! MEN ALSO EXPERIENCE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BODIES ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.
I’m bringing back the REAL post. For those of you who care enough about how body image issues effect BOTH MEN AND WOMEN and how ignoring men with eating disorders or who have depression or deep insecurities because of their body image is not just ignorant, but it’s horribly insulting. Making fun of this post means you are telling men who feel degraded that they should feel bad about themselves and that they don’t mean anything. For everyone who reblogged the posts that made fun of this original post, shame on you. I’m very disappointed. Please share the original because this is an important issue.
Also raised to my attention is I neglected to add people of color to this post, I am sorry for my negligence so I shall add bonus images here of unrealistic expectations for men of every race, I chose Men’s Health Magazine because it’s extremely popular in telling men how to look:
No, guys, you don’t understand. I just got so relieved seeing this original post again that I nearly cried.
Bless the blog that brought the original back!
Here’s the original post without some of you asshats changing the pictures
This is actually the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve seen the original post, which goes to show how quickly people turned it into a joke. I confess that I did laugh at some of the absurd replacement images in the other versions, and I feel guilty for that now because I, like many, was missing an extremely important message.
To all of my male followers who struggle with self-esteem: I support you too. Even though I’m really quiet and have a bad habit of going weeks or months without posting, I WILL be there for you if you come to me wanting to talk or just vent. That’s a promise.
Another thing to note that in all, ALL, of those pictures the men are actively flexing. And often such defenition for shoots is exaggerated by dehydration, airbrushing and photoshopping. That chiseled look isn’t a look you can acheive at rest without literal implants. Here are 2 examples of flexed vs relaxed:
And you know what? Dollars to doughnuts none of the above muscular looking guys are as strong as these men:
These are strongmen. These are the bodies of men that train for strength, not defenition. These guys can practically lift cars and drag trains.
So men of the world that get depressed about not looking like you just stepped off a magazine cover, relax. You don’t have to look like that. You are handsome, beautiful and fantastic the way you are.
To all my beautiful boys <3 Please read and heed. You’re amazing, and you don’t have to look any particular way. This goes for transboys too. You’re handsome no matter what!!!
This is so important!! Like my dad looks fat but he’s mostly super strong
its posts like this that make me wanna keep on living and still feel a little good about myself
6 pack abs are out, viking/barbarian bodies are in
Guys, you’re beautiful or handsome, whichever you prefer no matter how you look and I’m so sorry that anyone ever told you or made you think that you weren’t.
I love this post so much! cause like, My dad looks kinda fat, and so does my grandpa but they’re all muscle! You don’t have to have abs to be strong!
:D
This actually makes my heart hurt a lot because not only do they have just as bad image expectations, but society does not allow them to express the negative emotional effects of this.
One of my friends is low-key depressed because he isn’t ripped. He looks just as handsome as ever, but won’t appreciate it because he doesn’t have a six pack. At least he’ll express this because he is in touch with his emotions.
One of my other friends has been killing himself at the gym. We’re talking sore for several days at a time. And I don’t know how to tell him “If it’s making you feel good and healthy, it’s great you’re working out, but if you’re doing it to “fix” your body or be more attractive, don’t because you’re already perfect” because he shuts down at any problem he’d deem “too feminine” or says “I don’t have body issues, I’m a guy”
this is actually super fucking smartass of them
Reblogging as this is so important everyone! My mum had breast cancer and that shit is not nice so please check yourself ladies and gents! 💕💕💕
We’ll have to do dinner Thursday night instead.
You can’t reblog this again until October 2024, so do it now.
