The US elections are over and though I know Tumblr likes to focus on US-centric drama and news, you have to pay Southeast Asia attention. 

People are dying from this typhoon and their homes are being flooded ON TOP of having to deal with a pandemic. 

There are videos out there of people crying for help and whole areas being flooded. 

For contextualisation: Keep in mind that Typhoon Ulysses is roughly equivalent to a Category-2 Hurricane.

turn off your adblocker and do not skip ads. between each time watch 3-5 other videos (mix it up) before restarting. this will ensure you aren’t marked as spam by youtube. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere but don’t mute the video itself. and let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

REBLOG IF YOU DON’T MIND WRITERS TAKING TIME OFF FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH

They think I have late stage Addison’s disease.

So please, please. If you have anything to spare.. I need it now more than ever ..

I appreciate any and ALL HELP!!!

You are an amazing person. Don’t give up on yourself.

THIS is exactly it. I should have dropped a class after like 3 days it wasn’t even to like a worse class (AP bio to IB bio to take AP bio again next year) but I didn’t because I didn’t want to feel dumb for dropping a class and I didn’t want people to think I’m dumb for dropping a class. There’s nothing even wrong with dropping a class it means you know your limits. But I was so obsessed with seeming or feeling smart that I got myself in trouble that could affect my college chances.

The worst part of being a “gifted kid” is being praised for getting your academic side before your emotional and interpersonal side and then being left to drown because you can’t emotionally understand that you still have value when someone is smarter than you.

I’m a smart kid, don’t get me wrong. I’m taking honors and AP classes, and I could’ve been taking classes at the community college if I hadn’t had a badly placed breakdown.

But I’m about to have a meltdown because there’s a kid in my AP Physics class who’s got a higher grade than I do. I learned how to craft a damn near impeccable lab write-up, and saddled myself with two incredibly smart and focused individuals. But this one guy has a better grade then me and I’ve been sitting here with my AP Physics Mock Test trying not to cry because it doesn’t make sense and I know that he gets it.

I didn’t even sign up for the AP test because I just know that he would get a better grade and then I’d have to scream and meltdown because I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t even know why I care so much! I didn’t even want to take this class! I would’ve dropped it at the beginning of the year but a friend of mine dropped it and my gifted kid brain decided I had to prove it was easy by passing the class.

Why can’t I be okay with not being the smartest? I don’t have anything to prove, I’m already taking advanced classes! I just want to be okay with people being slightly more understanding of a certain subject than I am.

In honor of me going to the eras tour tonight: Roy Kent is so "Nothing New"

Holy shit…. Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).
