Refugees Welcome

And this goes to all the other Western countries too

Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing

Things that actually work if u try at them:

Is there any hatred stronger than the rage kids get towards Barney the dinosaur as soon as they are just a little too old for Barney the dinosaur

So, this guy, Martin Pistorius, fell into a coma when he was 12 years old and eventually awoke completely paralyzed, at least physically. He was misdiagnosed. Doctors believed he was in a completely vegetative state, but in reality, he had regained full consciousness and awareness. He just didn’t possess any motor function, so he couldn’t communicate to anyone that he was alive in there. He lived this way for 12 years before he overcame it by sheer force of will and was given the tools to communicate. He tells his story in his book, Ghost Boy. Since then he’s also been the subject of the first episode of Invisibilia on NPR and had his own TedTalk.

Anyway, the breaking point that incited his plan of escape was being forced to watch Barney reruns all day, everyday at his care center. Sitting in front of the TV, he learned to tell the time by the shadows on the wall. If he had time he could know when Barney would end. With the ability to measure his days, he was able to pull himself out of the void and ultimately start down the path to recovery. Today, Martin can communicate whatever he wants with the help of a computer program, but there’s one thing he can’t articulate: “I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney.”

So it turns out that the primal hatred people have toward Barney is strong enough to pull a disembodied consciousness out of the abyss of existential despair and into the physical world out of pure spite

2019 is going to be a great year because we’re going to fucking make it that way, no more of this “I hope good things come to me” shit, I’m gonna go out and drag good things to me by the fucking hair

SAME FRIEND, SAME

2019 Is The Year Of Not Even Remotely Fucking Around

Congratulations. It’s a New Year. You have survived a whole year. 365 days. 8,760 hours. 525,600 minutes. Even those times when you felt like you couldn’t survive. Even those times when you were convinced you couldn’t make it another second. You did it. And you can do it all again. This new year is a chance. It’s a chance for you to be better, to be happier. Even if your year was amazing, your new one can be better. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Enjoy the feeling of a new chance. You can do this.

May 2019 bring everyone happiness, love, success, hope, acceptance, and everything a person could want.

Goodbye

Watching people… use their mental health… get out of/ away with things… makes me so..

“You’re not supposed to say anything negative about me/tell me the truth/disagree with me because I’m mentally ill and it’s not right. You’re supposed to be on my side always and if you dare be against me you don’t care about mental health!”

shout to any childrens media nowadays that has female characters who are just super fucking weird bc growing up i just remember lot of boy characters who got to be funny and weird and all the girl characters were like the serious ones who desired order and followed the rules meanwhile i was always running around barefoot and foaming at the mouth and eating snails and i barely knew what gender was 

#hello #i hate what you’ve done with the place

Oh you’ve redecorated…

I don’t like it

i acknowledge that this house has had a renovation, but given that it’s a stupid-ass renovation, i’ve elected to ignore it.

petition to rename the usa ‘south canada’

what about alaska

are we then normal canada

canada a bit to the left

What about South America? Is that just America? Or South South Canada?

i cried my ass of laughing

WARM CANADA

i caN’T BREATHE OH MY GOD

I’m not even from Canada but I approve this change of names

why are there all these posts n articles n stuff that are like “girls can have short hair!” “girls can wear suits!” but all the women shown are still always only feminine, and whats actually being said is “girls can have short hair and still be feminine!” and “girls can wear suits and still be attractive to men!” like whenever women want to do something men (and sometimes other women too, but men are awful at this) have to find a way to make it Still Okay, Still Acceptable to them, instead of just letting women be! women dont need to fit any standards of femininity or beauty to do something, and they certainly don’t need mens approval

and its really gross considering these articles are usually about styles/behaviors associated with wlw, like they’re basically saying “doing this is okay, as long as youre straight!”

yeah. if we’re going to say this is great (and it is)

then we also need to honestly promote this as well

Please normalize and celebrate butch.

I know I told this story before but last year I was having complications with a surgery and I just broke down in a public place and I was trying to gather myself, sitting and leaning on a wall when this girl in cowboy boots approached me and sat down and she asked what was wrong and I told her it was medical issues and she said “I understand, I have to have my foot amputated next week” and it shocked me out of crying and I was like “wow that sucks!” And she said “yeah.” And then she just touched my arm so tenderly and told me “I promise you that this problem will have its place, and everything is going to work out.” And the way she said it just made me really believe her. She said. “We’re just gonna have to cowgirl up.” And then she stood up and walked away and I’d call that a genuine encounter with an angel but the truth is there is a lot of goodness right here on earth in humanity and it’s shining and pure.

Okay but “this problem will have its place” is genuinely inspiring

THAT REALLY STRUCK ME because I’ve always hated the tired rhetoric of “this happened for a reason” and this feels like a more genuine, comforting take on that. Not “it happened for a reason,” but “this will find its spot in your life and your future that it fits into in a way that will eventually work out even though it sucks that it happened.” Love that.

2019 mood babes

must have been easier to be alive before news traveled so fast and you were only ever aware of a handful of tragedies instead of thousands and thousands of them being delivered to you on a daily basis. why is there even a question of why our generation is so depressed and anxious like I’ll tell you why?? everything i read breaks my heart and my capacity to empathize and be outraged is absolutely maxed out. yeah i’m sad bitch! we’re all sad! there’s no relief!

She’s looking out for you today

she’ll never fucking take me alive, I don’t fear her anymore

Vicious.

Anyways I just got an ad for trans penguins

it’s a very nice video about the difference between gender expression and identity and include ftm, mtf and nonbinary penguins??? I may have cried a bit when I watched it. 

Everytime i watch this i wanna cry
