There is no actual, tangible reason why we allow people to starve, to be homeless, to suffer and die needlessly. Food is plentiful. Empty homes are plentiful. Medicine is plentiful. It’s hidden away behind constructs and we pretend those constructs mean something. There is an empty home and a homeless family, give them it. There is a sick child and common medicine to treat it, give it to them. There is a starving person and so much food wasted by corporations or hidden behind a dollar sign, feed them.
The only issue with compassion like this is that when you ask a society to be collectively compassionate you will always find greedy little piles of human garbage who would literally implode if they had to be minutely decent for 5 minutes.
Then let them impolode. We out number them thousands to one. There’s no logical reason for us to let them have thier way.
1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.
2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.
3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. You’ve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didn’t want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.
4. Make lists of things you’re good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list we’re that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.
5. Don’t beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. It’s counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,“We don’t talk to ourselves like that anymore. What’s something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.”
Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.
u ever have on mutuals whos so deep in another fandom that u know absolutely zero about and they make posts that look like they speaking another language or some shit
i really appreciate the number of mutuals who are not in any of my fandoms sharing this post. its like a little hello nod as we pass each other in the hall
The next day Eri gets to spend time with TodoMomo. Eri doesn’t know them very well so she is very shy. However, Yaomomo and Todo are d e t e r m i n e d to win Eri over. They are not exactly sure how, so they go to the very popular ~~and super expensive~~ cafe to buy her some sweets. Momo doesn’t know what she likes so she gets all the popular items on the dessert menu. Todoroki, who wanted to contribute, just orders the ones that he personally likes. By the end of the day, Eri would not let go of Momo and Todo’s hands. She is convinced Momo is a real life princess and Todoroki is a real life prince.
When they got back, Bakugou almost started war over the custody of little Eri. (Calm down boy, she is not your child.)
Honestly, I should be doing other stuff. But I couldn’t resist drawing another Eri caretaking picture with another favorite pair of mine. Please accept this self indulging art and headcanon of mine. OTL
Because i NEVER see the famous image of that iridescent white lipped python given credit, this guy is the OP. I included a newer image too because chrisssssssstopher is still uploading WLP if any one wants to follow the owner of these images.
