“Sleep heavily and know that I am here with you. The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present. This now, this us, we can cope with that. We can do this together you and I.”

— Welcome to Night Vale, The Candidate – Episode 12 

unironically the mindset that saved my life

If you don’t have means to a therapist or mental health professional

Check out therapistaid.com. There’s worksheets there that you can download for free.

Of course it would be a lot more beneficial if you have a therapist to help you through it but not everyone has access to one.

It’s a free site where you can have free downloads of worksheets on many things.

If there’s something there that you think would be helpful, print it out and complete the worksheet on your own.

It’s hard to be accountable for yourself but at least there’s a way for you to have some insight and work on yourself.

You know what? Happy Pride to everyone still in the closet. 

To the people who don’t feel safe enough to come out to their friends or family or community or all three. 

To those who feel like they can’t come out because they just feel confused about their gender or sexuality and don’t know how to come out when they don’t even know what label to use. 

To the people who fear coming out publicly because it may put their job or career at risk.

To the people who haven’t come out because they don’t want anything to change about their relationships.

To the people who see Pride festivals and parades being advertised or talked about, who look up their local one with the understanding that they cannot attend. To those who feel distanced from Pride because you feel like you cannot partake in the celebration because only you know that it’s a celebration meant also for you.

Pride Month is for you, too. Be proud of yourself even if you can’t be out. Be proud of your journey of self-acceptance, even if you haven’t found acceptance outside of yourself just yet. There’s no rush. There’s no pressure, just because it’s pride month.

Pride Month is already for you. 

how much can you change and get away with it

Born from the pieces of a mean, nasty, bad guy bot, they rise. They are the Model Rita's!

Suckerpunch, Fatbrain, and Sneaky respectively

I have never been so pleased with some robots.

Juno and Rita’s friendship gives me enough serotonin for the year

So update your instagram story. Capture yourself. Freeze your existence in fifteen seconds of time. Look at that vine. Look at that vine. Look at those six and a half seconds preserved for all eternity, like a caveman in the ice.

Look! Behold! A moving time capsule so real you can almost feel it breathing. Hear a dead woman speak and watch you address yourself directly. See the living ghost of your past self and hold him tight, because if you play your cards right he’s not going anywhere.

Freeze! Freeze this moment in time! Record it. In a snapshot, a video, a voice. See a baby meeting a puppy. See a shooting. See history in the making and see someone loving their daughter. Capture your present to hold onto your past. Send it in waves of light through the air and send your moment away to anyone that would take it.

Capture a tiny fraction of an atom of the love in that moment and keep it for posterity. Hold close the image of a person you’ll never meet and know that this is reality, even if it’s the past.

We cannot travel to the past but we can preserve small pieces of the present that become pieces of the past and shout into the future. We are doing it every day. Valuing the human existence so much that we’ve decided to share every moment of it on a global scale.

We are archeologists of the present, time travelers of the past, the past of the future. We created time and made it slow and created to it a love letter in the form of a photo and pinned it on a website like the internet was the refrigerator of the world.
