I Feel Numb. No Tears, No Anger, Nothing. Just Going Through The Same Day Again And Again. I Would Rather

Tips for when you're trying to get people to change their minds, calling your representatives, etc:

Don't act like a street preacher, almost nobody likes those guys. (More information.)

Code switching is your friend. Don't use leftist buzzwords or jargon, use the kind of language they're familiar with. (More information. And here are examples.)

Do not argue or debate with people who actually piss you off or pose a serious risk to your mental health. If you want to refute their points, make a post, zine, video, etc. about it.

Do not argue or debate with bad faith actors - anyone who posts mindless contrarianism (such as the kind of pro-Republican replies posted by porn blogs) is to be ignored and blocked on sight.

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip

yes i have a thing for self-loathing fictional characters being loved and in the process learning to love themselves and no that does not imply anything about me personally as a person i swear

In another universe, I'm kind to everyone I know and myself. In another universe I am no longer frugal with love. In another universe when I pick up the phone, I answer it with "I love you" instead of "Y'ellow!"

In another universe I don't feel bad for asking for a hug. In another universe I don't infect everything around me with how awful I am. In another universe I reach out and hold your hand and you hold mine back.

feeling unwanted ruins my whole fucking day

i love tumblr because you see someone losing their mind and you’re just like “omg me tooooo!” *reblog*
