Got a rare dopamine boost scrolling bluesky and seeing:
1) US politicians in deep red districts being confronted by their increasingly angry constituents.
2) Seeing the size and number of protests happening at tesla dealerships (scroll TeslaTakedown or check out Alex Winter’s feed)
3) Vermont showing up to scream at vance and ruin his ski holiday
Fun fact: ace people can wear clothing which can be interpreted as sexual despite being ace.

Just because someone has skin showing doesn’t mean they want to have sex. Thinking like that is…kinda just really weird
astonishing how good it can feel to get some chores done sometimes. you’ll be sitting there like damn i am some type of horrid little smeagol like creature who should be crushed to death. but then you do some laundry and you’re like wrow. im actually gods most fuckable soldier.
genuinely the way i see it is whenever i’m working/have worked that day i am deceased. dead. no longer alive. then the days i have off someone has done some necromancy or Frankenstein science shit and i am alive but having to relearn. everything. how to be alive
im tryna prove a point to my bf's mother help me out
Falling back into my undertale phase, no regrets. I recently finished a huge project for school and haven't felt like drawing much so have this slightly old test sketch I did of Chara (along with a personal headcanon of mine). . . . #art #artistoninstagram #undertale #undertalefanart #undertalechara #undertalecharadreemurr #charaundertale #charaundertalefanart #undertalefrisk #friskundertale https://www.instagram.com/p/CWM6ETHLQ_a/?utm_medium=tumblr
shout out to green. somehow an underrated color despite being everywhere in nature. not enough real green appreciators out there. what can’t she do honestly. mint green sage green sea foam green forest green lime green!!! never have i ever met a green i did not like. true green enjoyers understand.
on the wikipedia page for puppy and they got this narration that sounds kinda professor oak-esque but a bit deeper. this is entertaining me for some reason
Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

I know reading posts that say stuff like "love yourself" isn't going to magically make you happy
I've told people online to love themselves probably hundreds of times at this point, and most of the time when I was posting that stuff, I didn't love myself, not even a little bit
but for whatever reason I kept on living, and somehow by living long enough I managed to find out how to love myself. it was not easy, and unfortunately there is no single solution for finding out how to love yourself if you haven't already
the only thing I can say is that the only way to find it is to give it time, keep on living with the desire to one day actually care about living, and eventually it will come to you, even if you really really don't think it will
and it's definitely worth it
Can you tell me it'll be okay? And mean it?
Yeah. It feels like shit now and there's a lot to worry about, but there was a lot to worry about last month and four years ago and eight years ago and twelve years ago and sixteen and twenty and twenty four and twenty eight and on and on and on.
Continue to work locally, continue to help people, continue to speak up for what is right and protest what is wrong.
We all should be breaking unjust laws and taking care of one another because you don't survive things like this by being isolated and alone, you survive things like this by building networks and creating parallel systems and growing tight bonds with the people in your community (either physically or digitally).
Plan on helping someone get an abortion. Plan on lying to ICE. Plan on helping someone get hormones. Plan on defending an encampment. Plan on sharing information that is being hidden. Plan on potesting a pipeline or supporting forest defense. Plan on not crossing picket lines. Plan on helping your friends get their meds.
The US Federal Government sucks shit and is not here to help. But there are millions of people who want to help each other, and those are the people you should be focusing your energy on.
It's going to be hard, but it was always going to be hard. I believe in my community, I believe in the networks I've built, I believe in the ability of small groups to make change and I believe in you.
Don't panic about what's on the horizon, do something *today* that will make someone else's life better tomorrow and it will feel less like the world is falling down.
