I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

Hayao Miyazaki has said on numerous occasions that he wants children to know that even when the world seems harsh and life is hard, it is always still worth living, and there is always something beautiful in it.

That mental health boost is intentional and Miyazaki wants you to believe that you should continue to live, even if just for those little things.

6 Types of Childhood Abuse | psych2go (new release) 

As someone who has experienced child abuse (which ultimately led to acute paranoia and anxiety) first hand, I’m glad this video was made. More people need to be aware that how they treat their children can have a long lasting effect on their child’s health and mental and emotional stability.

This Is a good movie from the Mickey Mouse channel.

With mostly worthy acting. Some of the stuff in the movie seems silly, but this Is the Disney Channel. You got to expect some.

Unlike later movies and shows that are forceful and over-done.

is this a serious review for cow belles omg 

how can ppl say cats are heartless tbh

I once stayed at a game reserve in South Africa, and they had three cheetahs – two males and one female. The boys stuck together (they were brothers), but female cheetahs are solitary, save for when they are raising cubs. Which is hard work for cheetahs, because they don’t/can’t den, she’s working constantly to protect/move her cubs, as well as feeding both them and herself.

Now, these cheetahs ARE in a private reserve, but they’re still essentially wild. But they are more or less accustomed to the presence of people. And this cheetah, Ketswiri, got very badly injured in her leg one time, which usually would be fatal to a cheetah. The staff at the reserve helped her. Another time, she was starving, and they provided her a fresh antelope carcass. And she remembered this, because the science officer was telling us how one time he was watching Ketswiri and her cubs, and she wandered over and dumped all her cubs at his feet, and walked off. Like “watch my kids, I need some me time.” And he was panicking like COME BACK I CAN’T BABYSIT YOUR KIDS WTF

And this, children, is how cats literally domesticated themselves.

earlier today i saw that big bang theory was nominated for most popular comedy show over brooklyn nine nine and in this essay i’ll discuss why we, as a species, need another plague

B99 is cop propaganda while BBT has assisted many a parent to realize that their child may be autistic (Sheldon is bad representation overall, but better representation than most things and displays many of the symptoms that manifest during childhood.)

I’d rather be cop propaganda that frequently portrays the corruption and white straight male privilege within the service than continuously homophobic whilst promoting toxic masculinity and rape culture but go off I guess

Aside from Jake, the main characters of Brooklyn 99 are a two black men (one of whom is gay), two Latina women (one of whom is bisexual), a man who is literally not even close to what society considers tough or badass or masculine, and a woman who would usually just be a player off as comic relief with no real personality in any other show. all of them are portrayed as super badass and important to the plot and setting, it’s literally not “cop propogabda”. And the other two straight white guys are totally useless. What are you even talking about.

also, jake is jewish

B99: *criticises the police, makes racial profiling the main plot of one of their episode, frequently discusses just how terrible the police used to be, and criticises the prison and criminal justice systems and highlights their failings* y'all: clearly this show is supposed to make cops look like they’re amazing angels who can Do No Wrong

not to mention that this show is the only one i’ve ever seen that points out how easy it is to buy a gun illegally, and also the only one i’ve ever seen where someone actually says the word “transphobic” this show isn’t propaganda, it’s a vision of what the police could be if the whole goddamn system wasn’t rotten to the core

Remember that movie in which Jack Black was a teacher and building a rock band and when a little black chubby girl asked to be a singer he only said “sure! let me hear you” and the moment she started using her beautiful voice his lit up like all of his dreams came true, PLUS the same little girl was scared that people would make fun of her because she was fat and he started listing awesome singers with some weight on and included himself and told her that people wouldn’t laugh because she is awesome at what she does and that is all that matters PLUS that it’s ok to enjoy food?

Also, when a little boy asked to be the band’s stylist he just said “sure, go ahead fancy pants” like, there wasn’t a single second of questioning it, he went into “ok, that will be your position then” right away

That fucking movie is an hour and a half of Jack Black teaching kids to love themselves disregarding all of the stereotypes

And don’t forget the Asian guy said he shouldn’t be in the band because he thought he wasn’t “cool enough”. Jack Black didn’t miss a beat by making up a secret handshake between he and the kid.and telling him he’s amazing at what he does playing the piano. After that the Asian kid even stood up for himself against a bully.

And he put the violent kid with anger issues on drums and let him constructively work out his aggression.

School of Rock is fab basically

I have never considered any of this and now I am wondering why I was sleeping on this movie

listen i might be drunk but im right. art & literature & nature & music make life worth living. people who look like they were ripped out of a caravaggio painting make life worth living. go organize a bacchanal in the woods. take pics of your lover in your hotel room in venice. who cares if there’s a void in your soul. who cares if you can’t get attached to anyone. neither can michelangelo’s david.

reblog if you hate nazis and don’t think they should speak.

Reblog if you hate nazis.

Reboot if you support Jewish people, Rroma people, LGBT people, and all other people targeted in the past and present by Nazis.

Fuck anyone who says I have to forgive everyone, “for my sake.” I worked hard for this anger. I worked hard to love myself enough to hate them.

Shit, yeah, this is a thing that is hard to articulate. Some people don’t feel healed by forgiving the people who hurt them, because that’s what they kept doing over and over and it only led to getting more hurt. Sometimes you feel healed when you’re finally brave enough to say “This person was horrible to me, and I did not deserve that treatment, and I don’t have to be okay with it.”

From Toxic Parents:

“no one likes to be around an eeyore”

excuse me eeyore had TONS OF FRIENDS, your statement is patently untrue according to WINNIE THE POOH CANON

The whole point of Eeyore’s character was that despite his depression, he had tons of friends and was always included in their lives.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

note to self:

a bad week does not erase months of progress.

Me to my anxiety : can u like calm down these people don’t even think about you Depression : ever Me: that’s not what I meant

listen,, the internet really needs to work on critical thinking and forming your own opinions. But also don’t shit on people whose opinions differ from yours unless it’s blatantly wrong… you’re allowed to disagree with people! but you have got to find a civil way to do it!
