I needed this.

Thank you to all the people who posted this so I ended up seeing it. I really needed this right now. Thank you!

Yeah… Not gonna lie… I cried…

We need more people like this

Goddamn it stop making me feel human

The therapist I wanna be.

Text in the image:

“I’m a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently it’s saved a few lives.”

I don’t like the phrase “a cry for help.” I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing I see is helplessness.

I think your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope.

But still here you are: you’ve come over to me, banged on my door and said, “HEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!”

How is that helpless? I think that’s incredible. You’re like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished, and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders.

And you’re still just going, “GIVE ME A STICK. I’M NOT DYING OUT HERE.” “A cry for help” makes it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you, but you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.

With NO hope, running on NOTHING, you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety.

All I’m doing is handing out sticks.

You’re the one saying alive.

I legit cried at this. I’ve needed to hear it put this way. Bless this post.

Every time I see this post I stop to read the whole image. It always helps — even on the good days.

Because it wasn’t weakness. It wasn’t shameful to seek help. It wasn’t pathetic to “cry for help”. I was looking for a stick, be that from myself or from someone else. I was trying to find a way out. I was trying to heal myself.

this is fuckin incredible. 

I’m sorry if I repost to many of these, but if it could be someone’s “stick” then it’s worth it

I’m crying-

This really helps right now-

I’ve been scrolling for over an hour just to find this goddAMN POST, OH MY GOD

if you haven’t seen Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, you are missing out

Thank you for this. I clearly was missing out on a lot in my life. Knowing that this is the guy who Cinderella ends up with makes me feel SO much better about the first one. Of course this is the kind of asshole who would track down a girl based on 1 night of dancing and a lost shoe. Why didn’t we think of this? Well played, Mickey, well played.

white people are so DISGUSTING

this reminds me of a post i saw a while ago where a bunch of white atheists, ex-Christians and neo pagans were talking about how they had the right to appropriate christianity and the christian aesthetic because all christians are “rich and white”. and like lol, this shit is what i’m talking about. white non-christians do shit like this and act like they’re on some moral high ground for fighting back against “oppressive Christianity” when the ppl there had nothing to do with oppressing white folks. 

It was abandoned and had been on the market for a while. The owner didn’t steal it and he didn’t force a congregation out. The realtors specifically said they’d had other churches and synagogues look at it but they weren’t interested. Also churches are generally deconsecrated before they’re sold.

The story here is ‘wealthy man buys abandoned building in poor neighborhood’ not ‘white man forces black people out of their place of worship’. And I’m not going to pretend like gentrification isn’t a problem but those are two very different stories.

The original poster of this thread, bellygangstaboo, is an account linked to state-sponsored disinformation campaigns.

Tumblr not looking into the story to get the truth just to be reactionary and offended?

Not looking to get the truth or deliberately lying? The world may never know.

But we can guess.

I mean, I’m not gonna act like those decoration choices aren’t ugly as sin, but I will actively mock someone who essentially wants a building to fall into disrepair in their community and add to the dishevelment of their community purely out of spite for people who have more money than them.

And spite for white people.

Though it’s funny how a site that’s normally against Christianity suddenly cares when the Christians are black.

Also the same site that calls christianity a white religion and forgets that the majority of Christians are neither white nor reside in the U.S.

People will get angry at anything.

The President has in effect declared a shooting war against the people of the US. A number of governors are declaring what is going on as “urban warfare”.

Funny how they tear gas unarmed, peaceful protestors of color but not armed white men.

I wonder if it might have anything to do with the armed people being able to fight back? Nah, that’d be insane. Must be something else.

Second Amendment exists for this very fuckin reason and y’all continue to stand opposed to it smh

Or, you know, you could do what Switzerland does (a country where people can have a festival thing for guns and not be worried they’ll be shot. And have kids around) and get strict gun laws.

You don’t have to get rid of guns. Just make more of an effort to prevent shootings from happening so goddamn often. Also maybe don’t have a president who doesn’t care for the lives he’s supposed to.

Switzerland has some of the loosest gun laws and highest gun ownership in Europe.

You’re implying people’s fear of being shot is automatically rational and correct. In reality, your average yank is more likely to shoot themselves than be anywhere near a mass shooting, ever. And most murders and criminal shootings are already with illegally owned guns.

Speaking of which, there’s about 11,000 murders per year. About 2,000 of them are with legal guns. And America has an estimated 100,000,000 legal gun owners. In any given year, that’s a 1/50,000 chance of a legal gun owner committing murder, assuming every murderer only murders a single person. And a 1/150,000 chance any given person will be murdered with a gun. You are three times likelier to die in a car accident.

None of which is relevant to the discussion of OP’s (dishonest) point about the alleged racial bias in the way cops treat protesters. Unless you failed to realize OP deliberately chose images that imply the cops regularly use lethal force on protesters - which they don’t - and assumed the cops use weapons because they assume the protesters might have guns - which isn’t why they do that.

Of course, an angry mob that’s already breaking the law isn’t going to be very concerned with legal firearms possession, and you don’t need guns to overrun a few cops and beat them to death with your bare hands, even if those cops have guns.

And, of course, Trump was specifically referring to rioting, destructive people as ‘thugs’, many of which aren’t black, so the racebaiting doesn’t even work. Trump is literally complaining about people’s lives being put at risk and rioters who detract from Floyd’s memory, and you’re still saying he doesn’t care.

You did know people are dying in the riots, right? 

I legit just said gun laws are important, what the fuck.

I am well aware people are dying in the riots. I literally never said I didn’t know that. I never said the destruction of buildings and stuff is reasonable. I gave an example of a country I’ve heard has few shootings.

When I said Trump doesn’t care for the lives of those he should, I wasn’t referring to the tweets featured either.

Even if it was so that I was, shooting rioters is still fucked and I won’t support shooting people regardless of whether or not they loot.

Only times I’d find it fine, were if it was at people actually killing others. But even then shots can hit the wrong people.

They’re not though.

And yet you still think trying to protect yourself or your livelihood isn’t worth it. Pick a stance and stick with would you? Other than “gUnS bAd”.

Can you please clarify when the hell I said protecting yourself is bad? Because I don’t recall it

“Or, you know, you could do what Switzerland does (a country where people can have a festival thing for guns and not be worried they’ll be shot. And have kids around) and get strict gun laws.”

Hmm.. I wonder what got then to start the study. Was it the protests? The quarantine? The fact that most of us won’t be able to afford a home, to retire, to travel ever?

Was it the murders, the pandemic, the natural disasters, the human disaster that is the government right now?

If course we’re fucking unhappy

We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

If this offends you 😊 unfollow me 😊

And a note to confederates: these monuments weren’t kept because this was “history”. These monuments celebrated horrible things and we BLEW THEM UP.
