Okay but Gabriel beefing witha random teenage girl is such a funny concept to me. Like bro, she's beating him in every department.

She's feeding Adrien actually food. She's giving him thoughtful gifts. She's spending time with him. She's an upcoming fashion designer who caught the attention of his very same mentor. She's petty as fuck and is not afraid to diss him and straight up verbally murder him over his shitty ass pancakes.

I can just imagine a passive agressive rivalry for being Adrien's best person if Gabriel had actually given a fuck about his son in canon

this is so important, take care of yourself babes

I wonder if you have tips on how to deal with depression and finding joy in life again when you struggle to feel it 🫠 💜

I will try my best to answer this but I am not super educated on this subject so keep that in mind.

DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND REDISCOVERING JOY

Depression can often make it feel like the joy has been sucked out of life, but it's important to remember that you are not alone and that help is available.

SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

If you are feeling depressed, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or both. If your diagnosis includes medication it is also important to not get addicted to it, as that could lead to other thing

STAY CONNECTED

Loneliness can exacerbate feelings of depression, so try to stay connected with friends and family. Even if you don't feel like talking about your feelings, just spending time with loved ones can provide a much needed boost. But also make sure you are taking time to yourself

SELF CARE

This can mean different things for different people, but essentially, it's about taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This could involve getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, or practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

FIND JOY IN SMALL THINGS

When you're depressed, it can be hard to find joy in anything. But try to take pleasure in small, everyday things. This could be a cup of your favorite tea, a walk in the park, or an episode of a show you love.

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF

Recovery from depression takes time, and it's okay to have bad days. Don't beat yourself up if you're not feeling better right away.

LIMIT EXPOSURE TO NEGATIVITY

Try to limit your exposure to negative news and stressful situations. Surround yourself with positivity as much as you can.

SET PERSONAL GOALS

Having something to work towards can provide a sense of purpose, which can in turn lead to feelings of joy and fulfillment. This could be anything from learning a new skill, to completing a project, or achieving a fitness goal.

UPLIFTING ACTIVITIES

Engage in activities that make you happy. This could be reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, painting, or spending time in nature.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE

Try to focus on the positive aspects of your life. This might be difficult during a depressive episode, but acknowledging and appreciating what you have can enhance feelings of joy and satisfaction.

Sex work is work, right? And men, they have needs! Sexual ones!

So why are men not LINING the blocks to have sex AND get paid for it at the same time? It's win-win! It's empowering, right!?!?Why do lonely incel men go to brothels to be sex-buyers and not prostitutes when they would get paid for it?!?

Deep down everybody knows why. Sex trafficking is not work, and it is not empowering, otherwise men would be absolutely shitting themselves silly to get a slice of it.

It genuinely makes me really sad that there's such a large group of women who not only believe it's acceptable but also relish being degraded, abused, and treated as an object. My heart breaks for these women, and I wish it was easier to help them understand how they deserve better.

I will always, always be anti porn, anti kink, and anti sex industry. I know some women feel that these things are "taking" something from them, but. I hope some day these women will see that liberation doesn't come from giving men exactly what they want.

This "males aren't having sex ! males are lonely!" discourse is showing that this is time more than ever for women (especially women who aren't going to partner with moids) to start organising to protect themselves because it's only going to get more rough from here. This is time to start establishing or protecting more women only spaces. Moids have felt entitled to us since the dawn of time and empathising with them wont cut it, they dont even want to *try* to be pleasant long run for women to be around. Playing their game wont work, creating excuses for them wont work, sacrificing other women wont work long term. Moids aren't owed lengthy explanations on why women dont want to be around them, if they cant figure it out themselves oh fucking well not like they care about us or our thoughts anyway. We have to stick together & protect ourselves from moids evil.

This is a friendly reminder that none disabled people often do benefit from the same accommodations disabled people benefit from.

Local heartthrob (allegedly) finally realizes how many love rivals he has.

ehm I'm afraid to say that mine are Harry potter (marauders obvs), Audhd, greek gods and mlb
