Please send love and PMA to @septic-skye. They’re going through a really tough time.
Remember that you can continue to help with the cause behind today’s charity stream by showing compassion for people in your daily life. Be someone who other people can talk to when they’re struggling because they know you’d never invalidate their feelings or tell them they’re just being too sensitive. Be someone who listens and makes an effort to understand people whose experiences are different from your own. Make compassion a way of life so that maybe one person in the world doesn’t need to turn to the Crisis Text Line to find someone to talk to, because you are there for them.
If you’re already a person who devotes a lot of energy to being compassionate and being there for other people, remember to take care of yourself as well, and take breaks to recharge when you need to. Remember that there are times when someone needs help from people who are trained to manage a crisis situation, and it’s okay to be honest when a situation is too serious for you to handle on your own. You’re doing great and I’m proud of you.
Take good care of each other.
PMA in my DNA
Made a small thing based on something Jack said during the stream. =)
Petition for this to be a shirt, beanie, or hoodie or something, cause this is really cute!
Ooh yes!! I love it!! 💚~
I have this lovely brand new never been worn PMA hat I’d love to donate to someone. Share this to spread the word. I’ll pay shipping fees for anyone who lives in the US.
XoXo
That’s so sweet! You’re always so generous, Bre. ^-^
We did it! We hit $1,000,000 for the year! Great job everyone! I’m so proud of this community <3
My wallet is now completely empty but it’s going to a great cause I’m not complaining :P
Here’s all my donations:
I would’ve donated everything anyways so I thought why not do it on behalf of others :)
That’s so awesome!
We’re raising money for Crisis Text Line! Support the stream by spreading the word, and donate if you can.
The Crisis Text Line assists people who are in crisis due to many struggles, including anxiety and other mental health issues, loneliness, bullying, and self-harm. In addition to supporting this charity effort, you can help people struggling with these issues in your everyday life. Here are some ideas:
- Research indicates that among teenagers, trans and nonbinary people are at highest risk for suicide attempts because of bullying and the loneliness of rejection related to their gender identity. Acts as simple as using the right pronouns and listening to them about the best ways to help them feel accepted can go a long way.
- Research also shows that experiencing frequent racial microaggressions, such as racial slurs and jokes, can cause severe anxiety and even PTSD symptoms for people of color. You can help by listening when people say that an action or statement is offensive or hurtful, and not invalidating those feelings with responses like "It's just a joke" or "You need to have a thicker skin."
- Take action if you see someone being bullied, in person or online. Sometimes the best way to do this is not to engage with the bully, but to go to the victim and let them know that you care.
- Take it seriously when people talk about feeling suicidal. Never, ever accuse someone of faking for attention.
- When you appreciate something about someone, let them know. Sometimes the smallest gestures of kindness make a big difference when someone is in a dark place.
If you are struggling, please reach out. If you don’t feel there are friends or family you can talk to, you can contact the Crisis Text Line by texting 741741 in the US and 686868 in Canada.
Community PMA #5
Jorie, we haven’t talked one-on-one in a while, but even despite that, I feel like I can always look to you or to posts of yours to remind me to take care of myself in some way. I’ve really needed that lately, so… even if you didn’t know you were doing anything, thank you. You’re always such a nice and encouraging presence in the community, and I love seeing the incredible art you make, too ^^
I admire your dedication to the meditation thing that’s been started up (honestly kinda wanna join in myself, but I struggle a lot when it comes to emptying my head and stuff like that, so… idk, I’m unsure I guess) and I love how considerate you are of others in situations different from your own. Honestly, that’s something the world needs more of and it’s just… relieving to see, y'know?
Take care, okay? Sending PMA your way <3
Thank you so, so, so much. I’m sorry I missed seeing it when you first posted it, but it worked out because I really needed it today and I’m actually crying a little bit because it means so much to me to read this right now. Thank you.
On the meditation, one of the things that’s really helped me is not judging myself when my thoughts wander. It’s gonna happen, and it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong or failing if you don’t spend the entire time meditating with your mind completely clear. You just try to catch it when your mind wanders off and keep bringing it back. You don’t have to be perfect at it - you just have to try your best.
The last couple of days have been tough and I haven’t felt up to meditating even though it probably would’ve helped, so this post is good motivation for me to get back to it tomorrow.
Thank you again for this, Rogue, and thank you for making sure I saw it. I’m going to print it out to put on my PMA board so I can look at it when I’m feeling really discouraged.
Please send some love and PMA to bucklethefckleup today!
Sending love to anyone who’s having a hard day. You matter, and your feelings matter. Whatever you’re going through, I promise there are people who understand and support you. Please don’t forget that you are loved.

I was kinda bored in art class so I doodled up this little PMA Sam design and I really like it! I made a digital and a traditional version too! -I draw too much JSE fanart to be honest UwU
Anyway…I hope you all like this! For @therealjacksepticeye

Christmas themed PMA logo :D
Beautifully done, Huffle! :D 💚
I’m 2 seconds in and…
❄️‘Tis The Season! ❄️
I love being around people who spend a lot of time appreciating. People who get super excited and want to talk forever about their favorite things; people who point out things they like in anything and everything, from movies and games to people and places; people who say “thank you” a lot and truly mean it every time; people who jump at the chance to celebrate and be festive - those are my favorite people. It makes me happy to be around them. So, try not to let it bring you down when there are people who discourage your enthusiasm, because I promise there are other people who will appreciate you for it. Keep being you. <3
Jeez man, today is just a really good day and it came out of nowhere and I’m so grateful. I got some art posted, did my meditation, kicked absolute ass on a commissioned painting while dancing to @antiknife‘s Jackieboy Man playlist on Spotify, then got to hang out with everyone on a stream, and it’s not even 5 pm, so I have even more time to get stuff done! I feel like I’ve lived more in the last 5 hours than I have in the last few weeks combined. I don’t even know why today is so good, but I think it has a lot to do with this wonderful community, so thank you all for making my life so great!
