This is a weed appreciation post

Dandelions

Yellow and happy. Super strong and resilient. Everyone hates them and they don’t care. Makes a good “kick” in garden salads. 

White Clover

Small and gentle. Always has 50 friends around them. Little dots of white and pink. Looks like a Faerie would turn it into a dress

Pigweed

BIG BOI. When I was little I used to think they looked like pot. So green and strong and taller than me.

Creeping Charlies

Bees love them! Blue! Happy! Gets absolutely everywhere! I’ve never loved something so annoying! Just look at them

Burdock

SCARY BOI. Her mom thinks she’s going through a phase. But it’s NOT a phase.

St John’s Wart

So pretty! And yellow! It reminds me of Daffodils! Old doctors would use it as a medicine because it was the old times! 

Dandelions (Again)

MAGIC AND GRANTS WISHES. PUFF. HAPPY POM POMS. LOOKS LIKE BURDOCK AFTER HER EMO PHASE

There will be more. I love weeds

i cannot make this any clearer to apsychotic people and people who don't experience paranoid psychosis: one of the WORST things you can do for paranoid psychotic people is try to give a reality check unprompted. reality checks ARE a very useful tool when used correctly, but if i don't know you or trust you implicitly and you attempt to reality check me, i will simply assume you're in on whatever delusion i'm experiencing. it's literally that simple. you are not able to reality check me or any other stranger because you are not inherently a trustworthy source. attempts to give reality checks completely unprompted, for many psychotic people, just solidifies the delusion

this includes posts that say shit like "no one is reading your mind right now. your thoughts are your own" "no one is watching you right now" etc. if you reblog that sort of thing as an apsychotic person untagged you are not an ally to ANY psychotic person who has chronic and/or easily triggered psychosis. chances are, when you put that on my dash, i most likely WASN'T in that moment thinking someone was reading my thoughts. but you put a mention of mindreading on my dash completely untagged and NOW i sure as fuck am. and if i WAS already thinking that someone was reading my thoughts, some rando telling me otherwise is not gonna help ground me or bring me back to reality. unless it's coming from myself or from a specific trustworthy person who has permission to give me a reality check, that reality check is only gonna make me more paranoid, and i know this is the case for many other psychotic people as well

i've seen some people claim that reality checks are never helpful, and that's definitely not true imo. reality checks are an important part of recovery and symptom management for people with chronic psychosis (people with schizophrenia, for example), but they should ONLY ever be done by the person experiencing the psychosis, or someone who has been granted permission by the person experiencing psychosis. a random reality check on a psychotic person's tumblr dash is quite literally useless and 100% performative

Palestinian solidarity. Always. End the apartheid, free Palestine.

[ID: A set of images showing a Palestinian girl, as she tearfully says: “I just want to be a doctor or anything to help my people, but I can’t. I’m just a kid. I don’t even know what to do. I get scared, I’d do anything for my people, but I don’t know what to do. I’m just 10. All of this when I see it, I literally cry everyday. I said to myself, why do we deserve this? You see all of the kids around me, Why would you just send a missile to them and kill them?” End ID]

buying peaches is so stressful because you have to consume them so quickly…it’s like the moment the cashier types in that number the alpha peach turns to its brothers in the bags and says “alright listen up boys, it’s time to remember your training. i want to see immense bruising by sundown. i want to see you near inedible by sunrise. remember it is better to die a free man than to be eaten.” you gotta wolf down all of your peaches at the check out counter while the trader joe’s employees eagerly look at the Peach Consumption Countdown Clock and cheer you on. these peaches have sensors on them that can tell when they come into contact with human hands so they can begin their self-destruct sequence like you’re in a spy movie and the peach just relayed a message to you about the whereabouts of jimmy hoffa’s decayed remains

The truth is, sometimes you will hurt people. Sometimes, you will hurt people, and then life will move on, and you won’t have any way to apologize, or make up for it. But, your past mistakes do not define who you are now. You are allowed to move on without guilt haunting you over things you might have done years ago. You are allowed to come to terms with the things you did that were wrong, to change, and to grow from those experiences; you will never be stuck in one spot if you will yourself to own up to it, pull yourself up, and start again.

I think another problem with the mindset of kudos/comments on AO3 is part of the “stalking” culture on instagram. If you like a picture that is months old on instagram, its “insta-stalking” because you had to scroll through that person’s profile in order to find those months-old pictures.

That is NOT how AO3 works. It’s not cringe or embarrassing to find a fic that was posted in 2012 and like it. It is there to read. 

Sure, maybe some of us have some old works that aren’t up to our current standards of writing. But I, personally, am never going to look at a kudos email and think “ew omg I can’t believe someone found this fic from 2016 why are they liking it”. In fact, I am entirely going to go “nice! people are still reading some of my older works too, I’m glad they enjoyed it”. It’s an archive, it is meant to be a collection of transformative works, old and new, and you are meant to find them. 

In fact, if you find a work that is from five years ago and you really liked it? I bet the author would love a comment even then.

Stories are written to be read. 

Show some appreciation.

I love waking up in the morning and seeing that comments have been left on fics I wrote 5, 10, 20(!!!) years ago. 

2002 me wrote a fic that made someone in 2020 happy? Fucking brilliant.
