LOUD REPOST‼️

I don’t trust words anymore, I only trust actions.

Pictures you'll likely not see again

I almost cried at this

hits way too close to home at the moment

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”

also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.

of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.

of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.

of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.

of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.

and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”

This deserves a reblog!

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

depressed beyond words

Might have seen this, gotten curious, and found a pic of Walter with the hat.

I feel better knowing now. I hope yall do too.

some people aren't loyal to u, they are loyal to their need of you. once their needs change, so does their loyalty

absolutely despise how every single social media platform has intrusive annoying “performance” shit baked into it now. You can’t just be online to post for fun, talk to friends, share stuff to whoever happens upon it.

Everything has a score now. Notifications that say “your post reached 1000 accounts” on insta. View counts on every tweet, so you know exactly how relevant or irrelevant your every thought or drawing is. Every app asking you over and over to turn push notifications on. 1 to 10 self-ratings on YouTube. Get twitter blue for a performance boost. give tumblr your money for a Blaze. Get an Instagram business account. Buy views. Constant scoring. Constant reminders to monetize your every waking moment.

IDK if anybody needs to hear this, but as somebody that works online being self-employed, whose career is art on the internet, I learned a long time ago that you can get by without constantly babysitting the numbers. It’ll give you mind crushing anxiety. It’ll make you manic. Highs and lows all the time. And it doesn’t help you professionally or financially! It’ll reduce you to nothing, it’ll make you hate the act of creation. It’ll make you feel like your peers despise you. It’ll isolate and intimidate you.

Turn off email and phone notifs. Turn off performance reports. 99% of the time, success will be random and unknowable. Preserve the part of yourself that makes things because you want to and you love it. idk
