less morose & more present

one thing that drives me absolutely nuts is when ppl characterize princess bubblegum as like, a bubbly disney princess type of character. i know thats her name and shes pink but like yuo would only think this if you didnt watch a single minute of the show because literally the opening shot of season 1 episode 1 is pb doing science experiments on corpses

bubbline is not a “bubbly prep x moody goth” couple theyre a chill gay stoner x unethical scientist who is the dictator of a police state populated by people she made in her lab

everyone in the notes saying “this is why i hate pb” go to jail go to hell this post is about how much i love this woman i think her disregard for morality is sexy actually

Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened

i found the specific quote i was thinking of x

damn gurl :’]

yno how you pay spotify every month to let you listen to music w/o ads n maybe download some for offline listening but then when a song is deleted or taken down you still see it but its shadow realmed u dont get to listen to it ever again despite having downloaded it ages ago and also if you cancel the subscription u lose all th songs so you never really had them in the first place and thats everything right now. paying rent for songs and films and shows and services that arent mine from the moment i stop paying constantly all t he time for them. i want to chew metal and kill the scumpeople who decided one-time buying and owning was a thin ng of the past

“Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we’d know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we’d be truly dead.”

i don’t say it enough but. discipline is the good sister of chronic mental illness. at one point only your own relationship w your sadness will determine wether you’re able to stand up after crying for 10 minutes in a public bathroom, methodically dry your tears, and tell yourself ‘ok, I’ve cried about this, now I’ll do my best to get out of here and go to my car and then home’ knowing you’ve already prepared yourself dinner, in case you got too sad after that one thing that always upsets you. it’s knowing yourself. it’s taking care of who you are, day in & day out. who else can do it this tenderly?

you’re stuck with this thing, be it mood swings or depressive episodes or paralyzing anxiety or anything, really, and yet you have to clean your house, get yourself some food, check your emails. to learn how to do all those things even when you’re in the midst of a crisis is to educate your body, and with it your mind, to just…stand up, and physically do them as soon as possible. you have to keep listening to your mood, & be aware that yeah, maybe you won’t get everything done today, but that you are starting. and it does work. it’s an act of love, in a way. and as love is, it’s messy, it doesn’t always look very pretty, and it’s also damn easy to overlook. it’s being kind to yourself, despite everything, every single time, because you’re worth the effort. 

it’s like the poem kindness by naomi shihab nye (this is only a fragment):
