Hey, Don't cry :( crushed eggshells on your windowsills for protection. Don't be sad :( brown sugar and milk is a nice sweet topping for your popcorn. Boil until thick. Don't cry :( store leftover black coffee in your fridge and use them later to make iced coffee. Don't be sad :( put the stem of a plant in a container with water to grow it. Don't cry :( clean out old candle jars and make terrariums. Much love and goodness in the world, just have to find it <3
Hi, I hope you are doing wellš¹
Can you help by sharing my story, reblog, and donating if you can, to keep hope alive for me, I'm type 1 diabetes. I am calling on your humanity and kindness to help me raise $340.
This amount will enable the approval of an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I have been approved the hardest part is the money to pay for the pump and equipment, please your contribution is important. Be blessed ā„ļø
i donāt have much of an audience but here we go!
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before

No matter what kind of spirituality or faith you practice, you should be educated on spiritual psychosis and how to recognize its signs. The more awareness we spread about this, the less harm over time to religious communities across the globe. Learning about spiritual psychosis saves lives.
My journey as a Pagan has genuinely changed my life. My outlook on life and my perspective on a lot of things has changed and made me happier because my pagan views have taught me to appreciate the smaller things in life. I worship the natural world and the way the universe works. I worship the dirt that holds all of us up. I worship the math used to create a pattern in nature. I worship the way the light from the Moon hits a car's hood and its shine that hits my eye. I worship the path the planets take around the Sun. I worship the homes webbed by spiders. I see everything, all life, all natural phenomena, all science, as divine. My pagan faith teaches me to recognize the beauty in everything. Since I started taking a moment everyday to notice the littler things that we take for granted, its helped me become a happier and better person.
I wanna burn down every single bridge I built cause Iām tired of being the only person that makes sure it doesnāt fall apart
What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.
What white people hear: never use sage ever, donāt ever buy it, donāt own it, donāt even look at it.
Look, yāall. Thereās a couple of facets to my talk today.
1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesnāt count.
2) you CANNOT smudge. This isnāt just you āshouldnātāā this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.
3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! Weāre here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.
Iām tired of this nonsense, yāall.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ā¢
