I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

I know i'm just a random person you follow online but I mean it. People (all kinds of marginalised people too!) Have survived all types of horrible times and managed to find happiness eventually. If for no one else, survive for them. And also, try to survive because the people making you despair don't want you to live. Don't give this to them. Don't give your life. The best thing you can do is cling to it with everything you've got. Lay in bed for a day if you have to. but please promise you won't hurt yourself.

Take screen breaks, (now more than ever!!) Meet up, Call your friends, call your family if you're on good terms. Spend time with pets. Text your favourite mutual you never speak to if you've got no one irl. Hell, log on a minecraft server if nothing else. Or rewatch your favourite show.

Make sure you eat enough and sleep enough, and take the meds and vitamins that you need. Don't believe anything you think if you're hungry and tired and have been scrolling too long.

Get a therapy appointment if you think you need it.

You can absolutely not take any shortcuts when it comes to your wellbeing right now.

Happy first birthday Knife-Wielding Tentacle..👍

dear god, it lives still

Save the date folks, Knife-Wielding Tentacle’s second birthday is November 16th.

HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY, KNIFE-WIELDING TENTACLE!

Of course he’s a Scorpio

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

knife-wielding tentacle is 5 years old today…………………

They grow up so fast. :’)

Six years!

Every year I forget about Knife-Wielding Tentacle until this post comes around

i have an ancient box camera from the late 40s. takes 120 film. Absolutely unfair good images out of this thing.

This is the 1940s equivalent of a disposable Kodak, it’s terrible but because modern film stock is so fucking good it just rips absolute ass. No I don’t have any pictures they’re scanning shut up.

the shutter speed is "yes" and the aperture is "sure, why not"

it turns out when you have a negative that's 60x70 mm that you don't really need the world's best glass

Beeg Pitchoor

this just isn't fair. this is like a toddler walking into a chess tournament and beating a high schooler

#JESUS THAT DYNAMIC RANGE!!!!

Fun fact: This is all on expired lomography metropolis. if it were in-date film it'd look even better. I dont have any in-date metropolis in 120 but i have a roll of it in 35mm that i'm gonna load up once i've finished my current roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200 (cheap color film that looks better than it should)

Here's Catlabs X Film 100 in 35 though, which is kinda similar in terms of range

This is the exact sort of passive-aggressive Rich Old Man Grumpiness I can get behind

Peruvian whistling vessels simulating animal calls (some of the oldest found date to c. 500–300 BCE)

I have been obsessed with these and I found this guy's shop! I am going to order one as soon as I get paid!

leave it be. let it scab. let it heal.

[ID: A tweet with an attached image. The tweet by @/Milo_Edwards reads, "this is some of the most powerful britainology i have ever encountered - it's like what if the dumbest guy in your hometown got to design the stanford prison experiment". The attached image is a screenshot of a tweet @/CobblerBob_ that reads, "There used to be a clubnight in Wrexham called "free till you pee" it was a free bar until the first person went to the toilet. […] Absolute carnage, people pissing everywhere and people getting beaten up for going to the toilet." /end ID]

just got fired from my government job… apparently they can control the weather with space lasers now so they don’t need me to stand on a dark tower and chant in a big bellowing voice to summon clouds and winds of fear and frost

sorry to hear that, but it's happening all over. i recently got replaced at my job of luring sailors to their death on the rocks by an iphone and a loudspeaker

That’s a bummer to hear everyone is getting hit :/ I got replaced as the ghoul shaking your pipes and creaking your floorboards at 3am by shoddy new construction that does it on its own

Those Feratu

twitter try not to be disgustingly transmisandrist for 5 minutes challenge, failed hard once again.

y'all actually suck ass. what the fuck is your problem?

do you think because trans men discuss problems of a lesser (but still important) variety somehow erases the fact that trans men experience some of the highest rates of rape and sexual assault? or that they have to deal with both misogyny and transphobia, sometimes at the same time? or maybe that they're seen as both confused little girls by one group and gender traitor evil sexist abusive pig men by the other? just to name a few things. you really think so?

This is a great example of how transandrophobia is completely ignored within the trans community, especially when it comes from other trans people.

If this post were something like..

Op would've been rightfully torn apart because that would be transmisogynistic as hell. But since transmascs (evil men /j) are the target, op is praised. (because its actually punching up /j)

Why the hell do people feel the need to downplay the suffering of a different group of queer people while talking about their own issues?? You can and talk about transmisogyny without being a POS to your fellow trans people, its very easy actually.

Bothering the beast

Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life.

No matter how good your heart is, sometimes you have to stop letting people treat you poorly.

sometimes you have to remind yourself that drafts are like onions—layers upon layers of tears

Here's the thing, sometimes we are annoying. But that's okay! Everyone is annoying sometimes. I'm sure there are people in your life that have annoyed you at times but you still love and care about them.

My point is that yes, sometimes we are annoying, but it doesn't mean we are loved or cared for any less. People are allowed to be annoyed by us sometimes whether it's because they're having an off day or they're genuinely annoyed by us, and it doesn't mean they don't like us anymore.

Disclaimer: There's a big difference between someone being a bit annoyed by you vs them insulting you and telling you "how annoying" you are in an insulting way. You should never be ridiculed.

And remember, they don't have to hit you in order to qualify as an abuser. Do they...
