My counselor once told me to make sure I wasn’t doing things to distract myself from the boredom rather than try to sate it. I feel its one of the most important things he ever said to me.
When I’m distracting myself from the boredom, I read or game excessively so I don’t feel the emptiness of boredom. It’s a short term thing, and it only staves the boredom as long as I’m doing the thing.
When I’m sating myself from the boredom, I pursue things I am genuinely interested in and so find myself feeling fulfilled and happier for a longer period of time. Even if I stop doing it temporarily, I don’t immediately fall apart as I would with the distraction.
my take on the #artstylebend challenge from Instagram!! AKA drawing without the things that make your art style recognizable.
(Lafayette as the test subject because I haven’t drawn him for a while) I used the suggestions people sent in my story question and came up with a smooth, pastel, cel shaded version of the original✨
This was super fun and maybe I’ll use this new style in the future but for now I think I’ll stick with the old one lol
Also, in some schools (like mine), they actively degrade students who look out for themselves and their mental health, while encouraging students who overwork and push themselves to hard to be more unhealthy.
here’s a huge fuck you to schools that overwork their students and make them feel like shit. teens are human too.
According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”
This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legs—vertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.

An Updated Help Post,
I am sorry, first off. I hate asking for help but now things are very bad. I'm Blake H, a trans man living with my two best friends and our dogs during this fun quarantine 2020. As people may know from my prior post, I'm working through a fresh diagnosis of Ménière's disease. For people who do not understand or don't know of this disease, I deal with these symptoms literally every waking moment of my life:
Dizziness and Vertigo
Tinnitus, fullness, and clogging in my ear
Hearing loss (half-permanent in my right ear)
Imbalance, motion sickness, nausea
Rapid involuntary eye movement
Random spots of blindness, temp loss of vision
Fainting spells
Weakness and fatigue
It sucks.
But, I am trying to make the best of it. I have appointments made in the future to work on this. This is one expense, but this is months on now. I am functioning okay right now, thanks to help to this point. I am the only one working currently so I have to make the best of it.
But this is where things get tough now, we need rent.
What I did put aside to help with rent after the fact of things, is gone. It's been a long month here. We need a total of 715 for rent by the 1st. If anyone can help with that, I'd be beyond words.
But that's not all!
Our car is dead. We need to get a battery. Yay.
Idk prices on that, I don't speak car, but my roommate says it isn't that much, like 50 or something. We do also need 300 there for a car payment though. Yaaay. We can't drive it regardless so even if we were to get the battery we can't drive until the payment is made. Yaaaaay.
And, last but not least. The biggest and most sudden issue:
One of our dogs needs to go to the vet. Badly.
He is not doing so well. He has a bad ear problem and they are now leaking pus and brown goop/old blood, and for him, he is old himself and I can tell it causes him a lot of discomfort and pain. But the boy wags his damn tail all day regardless. He NEEDS to desperately see a vet to get medication for his ears, we have to figure out why they're draining so badly now. I was told my roommate found a place that will take him walk-in for a couple hundred (200) so I'm going to say that's my goal for my boy Charlie here, he deserves to feel better.
If anyone at all out there can help my dysfunctional household, and help us stay afloat, I'd give you the damn world if I could. If anyone requires proof of anything here, just message me. I will answer everything anyone asks of me, especially right now. I want to live, I want my kids here to survive, I want my dogs to be okay. We need this roof.
Thank you for reading and spreading if you do, I love you all and be safe.

Hello everyone, I’m a 21 year old black woman, who has a white boyfriend. Both of our families have disowned us, and made us homeless because of our relationship. Everything was bad at first, but then we both got good jobs.
But here’s where our lives turned for the worst. My boyfriend was working in a concrete plant, which you can inhale silica. He got sick with two kidney stones (that he hasn’t passed), and two bumps on his lungs. So his job fired him. I lost my job when the virus hit really badly and there was a case of covid-19 at my job so I quit.
We lost our home, and we need help again. If anyone cares, or has a heart please help us. I’m so tired of being in this situation, I just want to have a home. I don’t have any friends I can stay with or anything, and neither does him, and we only have a short amount of time before we are completely on the streets. Please help us. ♥️ If you are more comfortable with cash app, or venmo, here’s my accounts.

Thank you for reading my post. Please reblog if you can’t donate, I really need help getting the word out there. ♥️🙏
newsies au where when the manhattan newsies are talking about brooklyn someone makes a casual comment about how no one wants to tell brooklyn about the strike because they’re all scared of the witches. no one questions this, all just nodding solemnly, and there’s an implication that they’ve already lost at least one newsie to the witches in the past.

Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.
From raindovemodel
When I say, “My anxiety is acting up,” I’m really saying, “There’s no reason to be afraid. It’s just my disorder talking, and I can do something to calm down.” It’s positive.
When I say, “My depression is bad today,” I’m really saying, “I’m not worthless and I don’t deserve to die or give up. It’s just my disorder talking, and I should get up and look for what’s good about today.” It’s positive.
When I say, “My ADHD means my brain is wired differently,” I’m really saying, “I’m not a stupid piece of shit who will amount to nothing. It’s just that my brain needs help making certain connections and chemicals, and with certain processes, and there are lots of things I can try to work with it instead of against it.” It’s positive.
Talking about and accepting my disorders is the most radically positive thing I can do. It isn’t pessimism; it’s optimism. It isn’t defeatism; it’s hope. It’s direction, and action, and learning to regain control of my life.
So I don’t give a fuck if it annoys you or makes you uncomfortable. I don’t care if you think I need to think of myself as “more than my disorders”. Because I don’t think that having disorders makes me lesser. And I’m not going to silence myself because you disagree.
You’re fucking wrong, and I won’t let my own silence be the death of me.
Alright I know I’ve posted probably too much on this but I’m writing emails that I plan on sending to my teachers this weekend, this could go horribly since my parents are extremely transphobic and will hate me even more and my counselor is gonna be mad I went against her but this is like the millionth time I’ve come out and I’m kinda over this so we aren’t stopping till the teachers listen to me, wish me luck
(Hopefully I’m almost done with this whole mess and we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled memes soon)
The only exception is if that person tells you to deadname them around certain people that they aren’t out to/ don’t feel safe around
Shaving, fathers, and manliness.
Where can I buy this-
I’m a trans man! I love you all, no matter what you identify as.
Unless you’re a pedophile, then fuck you, but other than that!
since the old version of this post was flagged for 'adult content'...
reblog this post if your account is a trans safe space or owned by a trans person!
along with that, reblog if your account is a trans non-binary spectrum safe space or owned by someone on the trans enby spectrum!
This makes me loose my shit every time-

Always! And I always try to correct people when they mess up. :3
Reblog if you are 100% okay with a transgender person correcting you if you accidentally misgender them or use their dead name.
I think nonblack people should stop making blm themed art & like merch, even when profits are being donated, and maybe just promote black peoples art that is doing the same thing. A lot of y’all are fishing for promo/followers, a lot of y’all are speaking on things you don’t experience (an ex being the print I just saw abt black generational trauma made by a nonblack person?? Hello??). So yeah just stop.
Just......buy & promote black peoples art....we don’t need 10,000 nonblack ppl selling BLM or black power fist stickers (stop using that symbol altogether) on redbubble.
