Ashley, 36, aroace nonbinary white autistic (she/her) with Chronic Lyme Disease. I post Supernatural (Destiel, Cockles), OFMD, Good Omens, The Witcher, Marvel, and more. I'm a pro-shipper but I rarely post NSFW. I'm a leftist and talk often about social and political issues, mental illness, and abuse. I try to make this a safe space. I am your momdad. I made the Cockles Masterlist.

Before you break your own heart thinking people aren’t there for you… Ask yourself, do you give them the opportunity to be there for you?

Do you communicate and tell them when you’re having a hard time? Do you ask for support when you need it? If they ask if you’re okay, do you tell them “no” or do you say “yes, I’m fine”?

While the idea of someone being able to magically know our needs and meet them can be super appealing, it isn’t realistic. People aren’t mind readers and have their own stresses and feelings to deal with. But I think you’ll often find your loved ones are happy to be there for you if they know how to be.

Banging on the walls chanting "OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ACA THRU JAN 15" like some deranged town crier. Election results aside, you have options to access healthcare as a RIGHT through the ACA. NO one can dismantle the Affordable Care Act in less than 4 years, so SIGN UP! GET YOUR CARE! USE THE SYSTEM!

You have options RIGHT NOW that will be stable thru the next year, the one after that, and I'd be shocked to see them shrink even the year after that. That means RIGHT NOW you can get signed up for next year to gain 100% covered preventative care (your annual check ups, pap smears, dental cleaning, vision check). You have the option to get checked and screened as you need, do NOT be dissuaded from exploring ACA choices. They are SOLID, LEGISLATED, and WORK BEST WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM.

I can't change most things around me, BUT I CAN tell everyone I know that THEY CAN GET LIFE SAVING CARE. THEY CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY CAN GET PREGNANCY CARE. THEY CAN GET CANCER CARE. AND THEY WILL GET THAT CARE!!!!!!

SIGN UP BY DECEMBER 15, 2024 FOR COVERAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2025. ENROLLMENT AFTER 12/15/24 WILL HAVE COVERAGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025.

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

  • Say mean and/or creepy things and then try to walk it back as "just a joke?"
  • Tell you that you're "too sensitive" when you call out their words or behavior?
  • Use the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, the Vedas, or any other religious text to justify mistreating you?
  • Treat you badly, apologize, promise never to do it again, and proceed to do it again?
  • Try to control where you go, how you dress, who you see and talk to, what and how much you eat, etc.?
  • Snoop through your phone, emails, belongings, or other private stuff without your OK? Or manipulate you into "letting" them do so?
  • Track your menstrual cycle (if you have one) without your OK? Or manipulate you into "letting" them do so?
  • Try to make you keep a pregnancy you don't want (or terminate one you do)? Or try to dictate what (if any) birth control you use?
  • Threaten to hurt themselves or other people if you leave, or "step out of line?"
  • Break or throw things when they're upset?
  • Punch holes in walls, doors, etc.?
  • Make you (or try to make you) engage in sexual acts you don't enjoy, don't feel ready for, don't feel comfortable with, or just plain aren't in the mood for?
  • Try to make you feel like a bad person for saying "no" to sex?
  • Try to distance you from your friends and family?
  • Actively try to turn your friends and family against you? Or you against them?
  • Get mad when you say no or try to set a boundary?
  • Call you degrading names?
  • Use your insecurities against you?
  • "Neg" or "should" you into conforming to their preferences?
  • Try to get you to quit your job, or get you fired?
  • Use drugs, alcohol, a bad day at work, or whatever their deal is as an excuse for their behavior? If so, you need to get out. Now. Make a plan. I promise, it doesn't get better as long as you are in this relationship. You cannot love the red flags out of people. Even if they don't hit you now, there's a good chance they'll start sooner or later; abuse has a nasty tendency to escalate.

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!
