Who here has done tattoo commissions?

I.... need help...

I don’t know if people will actually read this, but if you are please help me out. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to the topics of depression, anxiety, suicide, etc.

I have noticed that when I make a mistake or make someone upset the first thing that I think of is “I should just leave now. I don’t deserve to live after I did that.” I shake the thought away but it echos in my head and then after that comes “why’d I think that?”

The two best examples were both recent.

I accidentally drove illegally, it wasn’t safe and got in trouble with my school for it. I felt terrible that I forgot that rule and I wasn’t allowed to drive to school for 2 weeks, but I could still pick up my sister from the elementary school. That day driving home and back every tree, building and other car I passed the thought came up. “You could run into that car and your guilt/misery would be over.” “You wouldn’t be beating yourself up if you were dead.” And it was just there.

The next one was a couple days ago. I was frustrated with some homework and things that happened earlier that day. My boyfriend was trying to cheer me up over face time while I was cutting vegetables. He had just had an amazing day and he doesn’t have them often. No matter what he said I couldn’t shake the frustration and would find something else to complain about. After a while I tired out his optimism and he went numb. The phone fell and hung up so I called him back and noticed his whole attitude changed. I tried to convince him that he was really helping me, but he knew that wasn’t true and felt upset because he couldn’t help me. I felt terrible and the sudden urge/thought to tell him I am sorry and slit my throat with the knife I was holding right in front of him. My throat hurt like I actually did it. Later that night he told me that I scared him because I never get mad. I started crying, I desperately wanted to tell him what happened. The thoughts that have crossed my mind, how much they scared me. How much it scared me that something was wrong with me. I didn’t. I didn’t want him to worry and feel worse when he had such a good day, or only try to get attention...

Even when I was little I have had these thoughts. I WAS 5! when I would get in trouble from my parents instead of most kids “I’m gonna run away!” Mine was “I’m gonna kill myself.”

I know there are people on here that know and experienced sucidal thoughts. I want to know if these are just intrusive thoughts that I don’t need to worry about, or if it’s a good thing I am worried about this.

I have never told anyone... I get scared that I’m only doing it for attention, I’ll worry the people around me, and that people won’t treat me the same. I want to go to the therapist, but I don’t want to tell my parents why I want/need to go.

I’m not looking for sympathy or “Likes/Reblogs”. I need to know if I actually need to tell people about this and go to a therapist.

Thank you guys! Love you

Funniest thing I have seen in 2020

Ok but legit the funniest part of this is that the cat just knows what he’s about to do before his tongue is even out. He’s done this more than once. A lot more.

Some old doodles and also I give up on drawing anime people

Eve and Walli as human form 😂

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Wow wow wow wow wow!

I love it when other people use Bible verses to make a point! (I'm not being sarcastic by the way, I just don’t know how to word it better 😅) It makes them well rounded and seems to show that they do a lot of research and not only listen to what they hear. I always applaud those people 👏

But... The problem with using a Bible as evidence is that most times (I've noticed) that people don't look at the whole section and just pick and choose what they want to use as evidence. This Gentlemen right here did the same thing I am sad to report. Even though he was just making the point that you can't pick and choose... That is what he did.

I'm not trying to hate, so please hear me out before you start scrolling past this, hating on it, cussing me out, Ect.

In Ephesians 5, he skips right to 22. The section on ”Instruction to Christian Households” starts at 21. Verse 21 states, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (NIV). It's not a one way relationship. Ephesians 5:22-24 how to submit to your husband, Ephesians 5:25-33 explains how the man is to submit to his wife! https://www.bible.com/bible/1/eph.5.21-33.kjv 3 verses to the ladies and 8 for the men. It mentions that women to respect her man and for the men to love their women like they love God. Men and women have a hard time respecting one another. The wife talks to their friends about how she wished she married that other boy in high school and gossiping about their husband, while the husband tells his friends that she is a bitch and ruins all his fun. You married them because you loved them; love is not throwing poison at the other while their back is turned.

Now for the second verse, he uses. He gets that from Exodus 22:16-17. I have heard this verse spreading around on the internet, but never looked at it myself. I finally did today using my NIV Bible, and it reads, ” if a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged toe married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.” Interesting. No word of rape... I looked at other versions and they all said the same relative thing. The only one I could find that was close to ”rape” was the LLX and BBE from this source: https://www.biblestudytools.com/exodus/22-16-compare.html They didn't use the word rape (If you find me the version that says rape, plz tell me! I want to see it and not give bad information). Every verse is implying that both parties agreed on the intercourse (by multiple versions of the Bible). And that after that happens, the man must take the virgin as his wife! It did not say anything about cutting her price in half and selling her to anyone who would take her! The man that took her virginity had to be responsible for taking her as a wife. The title right above that verse is ”Social Responsibility” in my NIV Bible.

I'm glad he is using the Bible to back himself up! He just didn't look to far into it.... Which he told us Christians not to do... I know that most of everyone does it, but that's because we are humans and make mistakes too. And God knows that, but loves us anyway.

Thank you for taking your time to read ♥️

Me: Lets see what that Christian website I used to visit when I was 15 is up to now

The Christian website:

Me: Oh.

Shit like this used to make me angry but now it just makes me deeply sad.

Purity culture isn’t just about sex. It also extends to an intense preoccupation with everything you do and everything you watch and every piece of media you consume. This website is STILL full of articles about “questions christians should ask before reading/watching something” and “how to glorify God with your media consumption” and so on.

The questions include things like “Is there swearing/sex?” But also “Do the characters exemplify Godly principles in their character?” and “What emotions does it make you feel?” For the last one, an example was given about a hypothetical character feeling disappointment and jealousy that a guy she was interested in didn’t like her back. If you sympathize with that character, from this point of view, it’s degenerating your character. Even feeling the wrong emotions about a story is a sin. There’s also an article about how you shouldn’t listen to sad/angry music when you’re sad/angry, or turn to music at all to help yourself deal with emotions because that’s “replacing” a role God should play with music.

Teens are also advised to control their media consumption simply because focusing on or enjoying anything that isn’t God is wasting your time at best. In the comments sections of one of these articles a person was expressing guilt because he liked music “for the beat” instead of for any transcendent, Godly reason. Enjoyment of a thing that doesn’t connect back ultimately to God is a sin because you’re “worshipping” something other than God. “Does this music glorify God or does it glorify something else?” You can’t enjoy nature unless you think about how it’s beauty connects to God. You can’t love yourself without deriving your self love from your relationship with God.

There’s also a very strong thread of the idea that you can be “tainted” by reading, watching, or hearing something that has Wrong Things in it. Watching a movie with a sex scene or swearing in it changes you in a way you can never get back. It takes away your “innocence.”

Ironically, though, probably nothing I’ve read or consumed has ever done more damage to me than things on this very website. It had a profoundly awful effect on my mental health and sexuality and made me feel like absolute shit. Even then I recognized that some of it was batshit crazy—there was this entire article one time this teenage boy wrote about how he got a new haircut (like, a completely normal haircut, like, his hair was just a little bit fluffy or something??) and he felt so bad about it because he felt it didn’t “glorify God” that he shaved it off—but some of that shit just dug itself deeply into my psyche.

But on some level it’s bitterly hilarious how all the other articles on this website seem to boil down to “How do I stop struggling with guilt?” and “Why are Christians seen as so intolerant and irrelevant?”

Actually, no it’s not. It’s just sad. Because these are teenagers that think struggling with guilt is just a fundamental part of life, and don’t realize that most people don’t plunge into immobilizing feelings of worthlessness every time they make a mistake or do shit like pray to God to kill them because they have sexual desires. Many of the behaviors they discuss are on the obsessive-compulsive side of things and many of these kids would do well to learn what Pure OCD is and also to leave their shitty fucking church

I feel guilty all the time because of these things...

This needs to be recognized more 😭 I don't want people to feel like I do 🥺

I cant believe the heterosexuals are gone

Theyre gone

We’re still here.

The Best Birth Control In The World Is For Men by Jon Clinkenbeard

If I were going to describe the perfect contraceptive, it would go something like this: no babies, no latex, no daily pill to remember, no hormones to interfere with mood or sex drive, no negative health effects whatsoever, and 100 percent effectiveness. The funny thing is, something like that currently exists.

The procedure called RISUG in India (reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance) takes about 15 minutes with a doctor, is effective after about three days, and lasts for 10 or more years…

Oh, and when you do decide you want those babies, it only takes one other injection of water and baking soda to flush out the gel, and within two to three months, you’ve got all your healthy sperm again.

The trouble is, most people don’t even know this exists. And if men only need one super-cheap shot every 10 years or more, that’s not something that gets big pharmaceutical companies all fired up, because they’ll make zero money on it (even if it might have the side benefit of, you know, destroying HIV).

DUDE

dude

dude

DUDE

can this replace the normal contraception methods we have pls

This has existed for YEARS. They ran an article about it in WIRED magizine but I don’t think anyone read it .-.

Maybe more reblogs then?  Up to a million at least.  We have this technology to get the word out and change the world.

My conversations with children

Okay as a fifth year education major in a wheelchair who is constantly around very curious kids and very paranoid parents, this is single-handedly the greatest video I have ever seen!

A gentle reminder that accepting disabled people doesn’t mean ignoring their disabilities.

“That happens sometimes.”

that’s what I’m always saying: kids, especially young kids, don’t need every detail explained to them. generally speaking, they will accept what a trusted adult tells them. so if you tell them “yeah, sometimes, people lose their legs”, they will just accept that. I mean, they accept a woman with wings breaking into their room while they sleep to buy their teeth from them, but somehow, parents think “yeah, people that are different from you exist” is too much of a concept for them to grasp

Oh wait now I get what triggers are

Yeah, see, THIS is a trigger. Something that prompts a horrible flashback that makes someone go into a literal panic attack. It is NOT something that makes you slightly uncomfortable, so can we all just stop tossing that word around like it’s nothing.

thank you Wreck It Ralph

Reblogging for valuable commentary

Also, can we talk about how Felix dealt with it? He NEVER used that word again (only once in front of Ralph, never by her), there was never any talk about how she could get over it, and in their wedding they all made plans to help her with her paranoia by recognising her fears and showing she was safe by pointing guns at the window and having extra security.

A++++++ on dealing with mental issues magnificently, Wreck-It Ralph!

Will never not reblog this when I see it

also this was the greatest 5 second character development in cinematic history

if you went to public school in the US, were you ever in a classroom that could accommodate 6 square feet of space between each student?

Bro some of us didn’t even get desks

It’s worth noting that in addition to this being impossible at the current rate of education funding, school budgets are on the chopping block like they always are anytime the economy takes a dip. Governor Kemp has asked educational institutions in Georgia to prepare for a 14% cut to budgets. Of course, those cuts have to pass in the state legislature.

Find out if schools are facing similar cut in your state and call your reps to speak up for education.

This isn’t going to work in America. At least not in any but the most high-income areas. 

1) Desks to be six feet apart: there are 30+ kids in each class - how big do you thik these classrooms are? There’s no way. So we either have to decrease the class size (which we can’t do because then we’d need to hire teachers and they won’t pay for that) or just leave the desks where they are.

2) High-touch surfaces sanitized regularly: again. 30+ people per class. is there a full time teachers aid or nurse who’s going to be properly sanitizing the door, the chalkboard/whiteboard, the pencil sharpener, the toys, the bookshelves, the bathroom doors, the sinks, the water fountains? No, because they’d have to pay them. So now we have students being put in charge of this and - they’re kids. They’ll forget, get busy, not bother. Some of them are too little to be trusted with cleansers and sanitizers, so now it’s on the teacher to sanitize everything constantly all day in an unending cycle which means when the heck are they going to find the time to teach? It’s going to fall by the wayside and get done sporadically.

3) wearing masks: great. Some people don’t have masks because they can’t find them/afford them. You’re supposed to replace the mask every time you take it off, which means kids need multiple masks per day. This doesn’t cover the problem of people who will find the masks uncomfortable and fuss with them, the fact that little kids will get messy, touch their mask, take their masks off. Is the school supplying masks to teachers and students? No, because then they’d have to pay for it. And this doesn’t cover the fact that there are hard of hearing people who use lip reading, etc.

4) Go back to remote learning if there’s another flare up: bitch the first one hasn’t even stopped yet and you assholes want to open up the schools again? Are you prepared to give every student in your school a computer and reliable internet? No? Then your remote learning is BULLSHIT and you’re leaving poor kids behind. 

And what about the halls between classes? During lunch? Recess? Sure you can make adjustments, but are you letting the kids in the front door one at a time? How are the buses working? Are you adding more buses so the kids aren’t sitting on top of each other? Are you hiring extra nurses so they can do temperature checks? Are you supplying copious amounts of hand sanitizer so each kid can have it to use in between hand washings? No? You cutting budgets so there will be even less health and safety measures than there was to begin with?

what a fucking shock.

God this makes me angry.

^^^yep

And obviously all the first people to be laid off when the cuts roll in are gonna be the “extraneous” staff… you know, parapros, nurses and counselors, and janitors.

Any time I’ve lived with kids, I’ve gotten sick 6-8 times a year over the course of flu/cold season. Last winter I don’t think I got sick once. Schools are crowded and kids suck at washing their hands.

So even though it rarely kills kids, there’s nothing stopping kids from from bringing it home and killing their older or more vulnerable family members.

… And I just realized that there are probably going to be parents who tell their kids not to wear masks, or to take their mask off when they get to school, because they’ve decided the pandemic is a Liberal Hoax. *sigh*

Kids are gonna end up with their desks in the hallway if this happens. A whole other wave of coronavirus is more than likely gonna come as a result. Kids share drinks and food and all that even when teachers tell them not to. And kids have ways of sneaking that stuff in (I know cuz I used to do it), so there’s really no way to ensure they aren’t sharing things and touching the same drinks or anything.

Honestly, as much as it upsets me to know that these kids wouldn’t be getting their usual education, I say keep the kids at home and keep doing distance learning until this all blows over.

It’s just a bad idea all around. Distance learning keeps everyone safer.

My aunt who works with a school board believes that the reason all the regulations are put up is because they know schools won't be able to do this. They only want kids who can not work at home to come to the schools, or preferably none at all. They don't want schools to open up, which is why they put up these impossible regulations.

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
