hey no offense but i’m just like, really proud of you for being here right now. I know it might be hard but it’s gonna be okay. everything will be okay.

things you can do to be happier

there’s no such thing as a stupid reason not to kill yourself.

your school sells cookies on thursdays? your favorite band is coming out with a new album? you’re still saving up for that tattoo? there’s still five sodas in your fridge and it’d be a shame to let them go to waste? you want to see the season finale of that show you love? keep living.

your reasons don’t have to be big, if they mean anything to you then they’re good reasons.

Yes! Just make something to look forward to

Okay but this is honestly true.

One of the closest times I came to committing suicide was when I was home alone for the weekend a few years ago. The reason I didn’t?

No one else was there to feed the cat until Monday. 

That’s it. That’s all that saved me. 

See, this is such good advice, because it can put you in the frame of mind that you need to be in to combat depression. Even things that seem little, like, “My plant will die if I don’t water it,” or “I’m the only one that takes out the trash, anyways” are examples of how you’re needed and valuable, even appreciated.

There are people out there that need you and love you. Stay alive friend, because it is so worth it.

This Brand Is Making Swimwear For The Trans Community

A lot of transguys or masculine people aren’t comfortable with wearing a bikini top, so they get stuck wearing shirts in the summertime, or settling for something that doesn’t make them feel confident.

The Rhodes siblings are currently fundraising for the Bareskin Top, which comes in four skin-tone options, on Kickstarter

But actually boosting this because they have until December 19th to raise another $13,000 or they don’t get any of the money.

I want the $17 backing that’s hilarious

We hope that we can come up with some quality drunken postcards. That’s definitely one of the most popular rewards! Thank you to everyone for the support!

Y'all, we are so close! A couple more days to spread the word and knock out these final $3000! Thank you to everyone for helping make this project a reality.

The amount of support we’ve received from y'all so far is astounding. We could not be more grateful. Please help us finish strong and meet our goal. We are less than $3000 from our goal and need your help to spread the word/donate before Saturday at 7pm!

We are so close! Please try and find the time to spread the word and donate however much you can afford to make this happen. This top becoming a reality is so much bigger than just supporting a small businesses, queer entrepreneurs, and a project that needs to exist – this top will literally change lives.

They have like 500 bucks left to do!!! 35 hours to go, please donate! I know it’s pay day for some of you folks out there

WE HIT OUR GOAL THIS MORNING!

Thank you so much to every one of you who donated, shared, spread the word and supported this project. The work isn’t done yet though! We still have 31 hours to go to make sure that we make this goal – people can withdraw/decrease their pledges still, so we need some buffer in case that happens (2 people withdrew their pledges this morning). If you donated, don’t think “I guess they don’t need my donation anymore”, because we do! We need every one of you to make this happen and to make sure that we don’t lose this money in the final day! Please continue to spread the word and donate if you can. We are going to make y’all so proud!

I literally overcame self esteem issues by making ironically over-arrogant claims because even if you’re joking about something a lot you start to believe it and that can totally work in a good way if you let it

They’ve done studies and the “fake it till you make it” mindset actually works and if you keep up a mantra you come to believe it after a time. It actually is how I came to really love myself.

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

Useful information, esp. if you haven’t taken self defense.

I reblogged this once before to add this and I’ll do it again…

keep your wrist straight.

You can also risk breaking your wrist if you allow it to bend.  I actually can’t believe this isn’t in there.

Other good pointers:

see that meaty portion highlighted in red? There’s a lot of muscle and fat right there which makes it excellent for striking. Hold your hand as shown and aim for the nose or chin (though I’ve been told in extreme circumstances, doing this to the nose can be fatal but I’ve never really heard if this is true or not) and just aim upwards

Originally in (most) martial arts, you hit the solar plexus because it supposedly contained an important chakra. Now we know that it actually also contains like a bunch of necessary organs that are exposed just below your ribs and is also (roughly) where your diaphragm lives so getting punched there is not pleasant.

-Also, remember that a guy’s junk is not an off-button. Don’t think that you can rely on a swift kick to the balls to immediately incapacitate him in an emergency. Adrenaline and anger can keep somebody going for a long time even through extreme pain, and if you expect to end a fight with a single groin-attack you might be caught off-guard when he doesn’t drop. Certainly go for it if you get the chance, but keep hitting him until the fight is over.

-Draw blood if you can, especially if you can draw it from the face or the eyes. Blood in the eyes is not just a good way to impair your attacker’s vision, it’s also a really good way to freak them out and let them know that they might be getting more than they bargained for by picking a fight with you.

-Elbows and knees are really powerful weapons. Elbows are very sharp and very strong and if you are in close-range they are often more effective than trying to throw a punch. 

-Yelling and shouting makes you scary. 

Nothing much to add to this, it’s pretty much all there. So. Reblog. Oh, also, it’s really easy to break a nose - go for the eyes too. All it takes to avoid a shot to the throat is tucking your chin. Also, that part about the ear - don’t punch. An open hand over the ear hurts a lot.

Tumblr teaching me how to fuck a bitch up

Also if you fuck up their face it’ll be easier for police to identify the attacker.

If someone gets you from behind and you cant punch them, go for the underside of the upper-arm. A bad pinch there is legit so painful because that skin is super sensitive. Also this cant be stressed enough, if the attacker is a guy then fucking rip his junk off.

When throwing a punch:

10 Reasons to Hate Donald Trump

1. His ex wife admitted that he forced her into sexual situations.

2. He wants to spend billions of dollars of our already dwindling budget to build a wall to stop Mexicans from coming into the country.

3. When asked hard hitting and relevant questions by a female he avoided them and went on to blame it on her period.

4. He gave out a senators private number out of spite.

5. If he can’t fix his hair how can we expect him to fix our economy?

6. He accused all immigrants of being rapists.

7. He believes immigrants stealing jobs is actually a thing.

8. He believes that sexual assault is to be expected when men and women are put together.

9. He’s disgusted by breast feeding.

10. He’s overall just a sexist, racist bully who uses his money in order to push people around. 

I’m not even american but oh my god don’t let this scumbag be your fucking president

11. He wants to shut down all mosques, though he knows that it may be illegal

12. He wants to make all Muslims wear a badge and carry an ID that says that they’re Muslim

Remind you of anything?

Reblogging again for that^

13. He said that autistic children just need to be properly disciplined and that people suffering through depression and PTSD are acting as though they’re the first generation to struggle with these issues.

girls this is important as fuck

I will never not reblog this. Nothing is more important than this. Remember it always. 

this needs to be signal boosted for all to see.

This goes for lgbtqia relationships too kids.

^ What quiet-savior said.

Its almost the end of 2015 and you are still here. Whatever you have been through this year I am so proud of you for being so strong. I’m so proud of you. 2016 will be a better year for you.

things that are wrong with tumblr

1. the ugly updates

2. 

to all the 13 year old girls that follow me

reblogging because I wish someone told me this when I was 13

- don’t talk shit about people - if you wanna experiment with your hair/makeup go for it, find what suits you. - if you start to feel sad alot, tell your parents/friends talk about it - be the best you can be - learn to love yourself 

-don’t be embarrassed of anything you like. -clothes from Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch only fit a certain type of body. Don’t let their narrow-mindedness make you cry in the dressing room -don’t starve yourself. Please don’t. -there’s a reason you don’t look like people in magazines and on TV. You look like you and that’s wonderful.

-When your teacher tells your mom she thinks you might have depression and your mom insists you don’t, push harder to find out. If you don’t have it, at least you’ll know, if you do, you’ll get help sooner. Being ‘normal’ isn’t worth your mental health. -Your body is changing and it’s going to do weird things and people don’t always warn you about those things ahead of time. Find someone you can trust who knows their shit and can talk to you openly about the weird shit your body is doing/going to do. -If you’re thinking you’re not a girl after all, that’s okay. You aren’t “betraying” anyone, you’re not “weird”, and no one has the right to say otherwise. -Dance however you want to, don’t let anyone stop you -You don’t have to like someone, but you should always respect them. -Go outside more -If you have an interest, pursue it. Doesn’t matter if it’s not “proper” for a girl or for someone your age -Don’t let the world talk you into hating your sisters. Lift each other up instead of pushing each other down. Whatever you think you’re competing for isn’t worth it. -You don’t have to wear make up or shave your legs if you don’t want to. It’s up to you. -When that eighteen year old boy with the sensitive eyes who likes the same things you do hits on you, walk away. Don’t even go there. It’s not worth it. He’s probably not even that cute. -Adult you will be embarrassed by you no matter what you do, so don’t worry about what you’ll feel about something ten years from now.

-Don’t let your parents make decisions for you that should be made by you. -experiment that’s the best age to because you’re young -make mistakes and learn from them -talk to the “nerds” -most of all don’t try to grow up so fast trust me you’re gonna miss when it was so simple to be 13

- don’t be ashamed of what you like wear and what you like to do based upon your gender

- surround yourself with good people that will make you feel safe and uplifted

- don’t waste your time with people who make you feel like shit

- don’t dumb yourself down for anyone

- it’s fine to not have any crushes, it’s fine to have lots, it’s like girls if you’re a girl (or boys if you’re a boy), it’s fine to like neither, and it’s fine to like both

-be proud of who you are

Oh shit. No. Shit. Thank you

Just gonna reblog this out of gratitude because I actually did forget…

this is so fucking important

Preach
