I hope this is my last post of this kind but quarantine keeps punching me in the face, i'm trans and (even though i'm semi-closeted for my own safety) finding a good job is extremely difficult for me. I literally only made $20 this month and that's nowhere near enough to pay the bills and my mom's medication. I don't know what to do anymore besides selling things from my house so if anyone has anything to spare to help us i'd be immensely grateful. We need at least $60 to put everything in order while i find something to sell.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

… 8|

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

This is so important

That self-aggrandizing technique is no joke.

I replaced “I’m stupid” with “I’m a God damn genius.” “Move over newton” “another masterpiece”

I replaced “gross/ disgusting” with “sexy/attractive” “the hight of elegance”

I replaced “I suck/ that sucked/ this is bad” with “fantastic”, “a lovely time”, “ swell/jolly good”

Replace every negative with a positive. Say it so sarcastically. Make it complicated make it entertaining have fun with it.

It will stop your self deprecating and build confidence. And people are more easygoing around you.

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.

my family calls them nosie cozies if you’re looking for an alternative!

Well here I am again in a situation I hate to be in, but I have $3 something to my name and there is still 24 days left in December and Christmas is coming up and I don’t get my next check until January 1st. I don’t like to ask for help but our government refuses to actually do anything to help the millions of struggling people right now because to them granting immunity to corporations for any legal repercussions from their employees getting sick and/or dying from Covid and bailing out Wall Street and billionaires is more important than the millions of hungry and unemployed and sick. Anything anyone can spare is appreciated more than you know, even a $1 helps. My venmo is: ZeGoldenPho3nix 

if you can’t help don’t feel bad I completely understand. There are many many people struggling right now. Thank you for reading this <3 

14 days left in December and I have no money for food or basic needs. This country sure is something.

hey! so for those of you who didn’t already know, i currently live in Japan, where same-sex marriage is not yet legal. tomorrow afternoon, the Japanese Diet is having a hearing concerning same-sex marriage, and they’re “gauging interest” based on the viewership of the livestream. basically, if people don’t watch, they’ll just write off the issue as niche and avoid it for as long as possible.

i’m posting about this here because, for ~some reason~, the hearing is to start at 1pm. on a regular thursday. when people are at work.

so, for those of you who will be awake at 1pm JST on thursday the 26th of november, i ask you to please contribute to the youtube live viewer count. i’ll put the link in a reblog.

thanks in advance!

youtube live is here

THIS IS CURRENT NEWS! The stream starts in five hours TODAY as of 4:53 pm CST, November 25th. If at all possible, please watch the stream.

I boosted this elsewhere, but I feel like I should post it here too.

I will be posting the link to the thread AND the link to the ballot checking site in the reblogs because tumblr hates links. If you reblog, PLEASE reblog that version.

If you call, MAKE SURE YOU CALL BEFORE FRIDAY!

To my younger (American) followers:

Even if the polls are ridiculous you still have to vote Even if the experts say it’s over you still have to vote Even if the newscasters have called your state you still have to vote

Elections are decided by the people who show up on election day. All the polls in the world don’t mater if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. All the experts can be (and frequently are) wrong if you don’t go into the booth and make a choice. News media tend to call stats at 5% of votes tallied. If your polls are still open, you can still change things.

Don’t let a strong summer showing in the media dissuade you. You still have to show up in November. It does matter. If people see their candidate winning and decide that they don’t have to show up and be heard, there is a chance the other side will rally. You have to participate. No matter what.

Voting this year is more challenging than ever, which means it’s more important than ever.

If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to discourage you from voting. 

If you’re eligible and registered to vote in this election, please do so. Vote down the whole ballot. Vote in your local elections too, that’s where the MOST change is made, and your vote has the MOST impact. This makes things get better, going all the way to the top. 

Show up. Stay Safe. VOTE.

For the record, they were arguing over *whether or not they should get married*. She was pro, he was con, saying that if they loved each other the ring and the marriage certificate were unnecessary, that their love would be the commitment they needed. This was a fight they’d had for weeks. He didn’t just propose to shut her up in a totally unrelated argument…. him proposing was also him saying “you’re right, you won the argument” and that’s why this is cute.

Okay then. That was the context that I needed.

[ID: A gifset from The Colbert Report late night show, an interview with Michelle Obama. Michelle is animatedly describing to the host, Stephen Colbert, an argument she had at a dinner with Barack Obama prior to their marriage.]

[We were] at a dinner supposedly celebrating the fact that he had finished the bar exam. So, this was a celebratory dinner. And he picks a fight. And so I deliver because, I too, am a lawyer and I have my points to be made. So, I was in full making my point, and I was like, “And 3” and “A, and if you think,” and da-da-da-da-da. And by then dessert was coming out and the waiter put a platter in front of me with a little box with a ring in it. And in the middle of the argument, I was like, “What! What!” And he opened up the box and he said, “Now that oughta shut you up.”
