I feel like the line between “fluffy uwu self care” and “get your shit together self care” is thinner than people seem to think. Like, sitting in a quiet space with a book and maybe some twinkly fairy lights gives me the spoons to go call my damn doctor like I’ve been meaning to. Bath bombs or shower steamers make me feel content and/or sparkly, which gives me confidence to go out in public. (Plus, I bathed.) I dye my hair funky colors so if I feel like people are staring at me I can say it’s at that instead of whatever my anxiety wants it to be.
The two are not mutually exclusive, is what I’m getting at, and I never see that mentioned, just either “self care is being nice to yourself” or “self care is kicking yourself in the ass to function for a few hours”. Kick yourself in the ass with niceness.
Gotta get your emotion-focused coping before you do your problem-focused coping.
ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I can’t believe there are so many of you, thank you all so much for following me, I love and appreciate every single one of you! I’ve been planning this for awhile now, so, finally, here’s a little bit of a thanks for being such beautiful, loyal babes!
– Are a blog that posts about witchcraft in general
– Are a spirit worker and your post content related to your craft
– Are a POC witch
– Are a space witch/ you involve the stars in your practice (or you study astrology)
– Practice divination
Napping is a terrifying experience that I genuinely can’t resist, so I put on some buzzfeed unsolved (since my auto play was on) and let it play in the background as I slept.
Except instead of auto play pushing through one video after another, it played the same three. Which is fine, if I’m going to sleep. But when I nap, I occasionally wake up, claw my way past sleep even though my eyes won’t fucking open, take a look around, and get dragged back into sleep by nap demons.
Doing that while the same three videos play in the background? Well, time has no meaning now. The one about the torso murders is playing again? That’s because you fucking went back in time. The one about the possible spy that’s thirty minutes long? It’s actually played for the equivalent for two whole hours because your brain slowed time down. That video isn’t actually five minutes long but we jumped into the future, so now it is. Fuck you.
hey let’s normalize doing little things to help ourselves!
opening a window sure won’t cure my personality disorders but it will cool down my room and give me fresh air if I haven’t left the house for a while! taking your vitamins won’t cure your depression but it will prevent you from getting vitamin deficiencies if you forget to eat! going outside for a while won’t cure mental illness but it does feel nice!
little things won’t cure us but they will help manage things. these things aren’t “neurotypical”, they are ways of surviving!
Note: If you feel overwhelmed by the hype or low on energy – just put out a jar of water and your crystals/tools if you can! It’s not the end of the world if you miss it!
( @krazy-rp-hatter thanks for requesting this, and for your patience!)
Anyway so I’m calling Rep. Farenthold later to accept on Sen. Collin’s behalf and I’m choosing Fists. Can take place in Iowa because if two parties agree to mutual combat, under state law it is totally legal here.
And if he accepts yes I will stream that shit live don’t be silly.
And after I beat his ass once for Collins, I will duel him again on Murkowski’s behalf.
Square up, bitch.
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GOD CSPAN BOUT TO BE LIT

SO I CALLED HIS DC OFFICE AND SAID BASICALLY THE SAME THING I SENT VIA EMAIL.
After about 20 seconds of dead silence, the staffer let out kinda a little laugh and said “Well ma’m, I’ll be happy to pass on your…”
“I’m not joking.”
“Ma’m?”
“You think I’m joking. I am dead serious. You want my address? Or I’ll meet him at the airport. I am absolutely serious about this. Oh, and as the challenged party, I get to pick weapons. I choose fists.”
Another 20 seconds of somehow even deeper silence.
“I…I’ll pass your challenge on to the congressman.”
“No. He issued the challenge. I’m accepting. Unless he’s backing out like the spineless coward he is.”
More silence. “I…I’ll let Congressman Farenthold know, ma’m.”
“You do that.”
ANYWAY SO HOW DID YOU ALL SPEND YOUR LUNCH BREAK TODAY.
I LOVE THIS DO IT B

FOLLOW UP; He has proved himself a faithless coward and refused to meet me in honest physical combat, so I cursed him. Specifically, called on his past misdeeds to be visited upon him and justice he’s evaded to find him.
