i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

His ghost is setting those cars on fire actually

I hadn’t really considered “the agnostic demigod of electromagnetism is the reason Musk’s companies fail” before, but I like the concept. 

Boyfriend tells me I’m banned from fixing things around the house now >:(

Christmas 🎄: depressed in a festive way

Shout out to everyone who is just so tired So so exhausted So very very tired so very fatigued so sleepy and tired So

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

I’m going to reblog this again since I see more individuals are inquiring about burnout prevention tips in the notes and it’s why I sought out this resource. I hope it helps you!

Preventing burnout.  Keeping the movement alive. 

What is burnout?  Burnout is the experience of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion often caused by longterm involvement in emotionally demanding situations. 

Effects of burnout on a movement.  In a 2015 study it was observed that roughly half of activists who experienced burnout did not take a break or hiatus. Instead, they ended up leaving the movement for good. 

Why is burnout common among activists?  Research has highlighted burnout among activists is usually caused by the setting of unrealistically high standards for oneself.  Activists commonly feel the weight of the world upon their shoulders, with a heightened sense of accountability, empathy, and guilt. 

Tips to fight burnout.  1. Identify your feelings.  Symptoms of burnout can include: 

2. Talk to a trusted confidant. Whether a therapist or a friend, sometimes taking the opportunity to let out your thoughts and feelings with someone who understands us can alleviate stress, or point us in a direction we may not have yet considered. 

3. Find healthy outlets.  Work on a coping bank, a go-to list of activities and behaviors that give you a sense of fulfillment, relief, and replenishment when you’re feeling burnout. 

4. Learn when to step back.  While your voice is valuable, know that many others are willing to carry on the work you have done, until you’re ready to step back in.

Hi guys, I had a heart attack at only 29 years old. The doctors suspect it was covid related as all my health related stuff was good. I've been told to chill for about 3mo, so I can't work, but I still have bills to pay. If you guys could share or donate, that would be stellar

Halsin joining our camp to see that the guy who played with the tiefling kids is now a devil, some pasty elf is biting people in their sleep, a githyanki and goth girl are slapfighting, there's a tiefling on fire, and that wizard just ate a pair of gloves.

if I had a nickel for every time I voted for the potential first female president over trump and trump won I’d had two nickels and it’s really fucking fucked up that it happened twice

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

Hey guys!

So, I want to thank everyone who's donated to the kids' clothing fund so far, I made a list on Amazon with the girls this afternoon just to make things a bit easier and more transparent.

Both of them have had huge growth spurts and it's becoming apparent that most of their clothing I saved from last year isn't going to fit this year, and it's going to be pretty tight money-wise for a while yet.

I'm still waiting to see if our rent is raised again this year (it has been for two years prior to this, so I imagine this year won't be any different), and things continue to pile up everywhere else.

Obviously, once again, if you could just share this post, it would be more than amazing. I appreciate each and every one of you and every thing you do. Thank you so much again!

There's another post on my page with my links if needed.

Giving this a little boost this morning
