evidently the flip side to endorsing Tumblr’s goofy “self-care” brigade is being militantly opposed to any mental or physical health management strategy that does not fall within the narrow bounds of what you find acceptable or relatable. bonus points if you try to construe it as ~common sense~, as naturally you are the default standard human being and can be trusted to account...
Anonymous asked: I really appreciate your assertion that exercise is not some magical secret to mental heath. I struggle with depression, and people ranging from my family to people who don't know me at all always tell me to exercise more, despite a chronic pain condition that makes it difficult to impossible, depending on the day. I know it makes some people feel better, but it isn't a good solution for...

These channels are failing the spirit of conservationism and education. They are failing inspiring awe in young people. Failing much needed inspiration in a very confused and conflicted world.
These shows are failing their core values, their main purpose, which is leadership in environmentalism and cultural education. Far worse, they are failing millions of...

really I just dislike the implication that oversimplified accounts of mental health management that work for some people can be used to browbeat others into doing the same without any acknowledgment of context or complications, and that rejecting those assertions means you’re just a mopey loser who doesn’t want to get better because Tumblr
like, if I say, “I walked five miles...

the tumblr user reblogs the link to the scientific study. “just as i always thought,” he murmurs. “there is no remedy for my clinical depression and exercising is evil.” he continues to sit on the computer for the entire day without coming into contact with sunlight. this is the right and proper way to fix his depression. he’ll show those ableist...

so lol I realize I am like WAY overreacting to a harmless post, but like today my abusive ex texted me again and was like “(my dog) misses you”
and this is a low blow, or lower than usual, because his dog is really an amazing dog, who would come and stand by me so I could hold onto him while my ex yelled at me for however long it was he yelled at me for, and would bark at my ex if he...

Anonymous asked: late to this but whatever. i also wanna say that i appreciate your post on how drugs are affecting latino american countries not only as a latina but as someone who has family in El Salvador(some who have been threatened by drug gangs and have to go into hiding) and as someone who has lost family members at the hands of drug cartels when said family members were trying to cross the border.

may favorite nursery had some Geranium maderense in stock! They’re not too impressive now, but in another year they’ll reach maturity and put out a massive display of flowers 3’ to 4’ across. I bought two, somewhat overenthusiastically, perhaps, but look at this shit! Pink flower invaders from Mars, I couldn’t not do it.
my parents called today to inform me that someone writing for a newspaper in my hometown compared them to terrorists re: their coal mine activism

Oh my god seriously WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE
“Yahoo bought Tumblr today for 1.1 billion dollars.
Prepare to crash and burn people.
The Creator has abandoned us for money.”
“yahoo is that kid at school who sat alone at lunch, and everyone made fun of him about everything he did.
However, he is now rich and powerful so he takes revenge on everyone who made his childhood...

“I’m sorry, friends. I can’t see anything good in this. I see no future in a website run by an Internet ‘giant’ that runs its acquisitions into the ground. A website under the thumb of a CEO that views us only as ‘a stake in the ground’ in securing her position as Yahoo’s CEO. And now our Creator is being called ‘the next young Internet tycoon’, which isn’t wrong but also...
