I turned my frustration with myself into art.
I feel like this is really important for people to see. I’ve been saying depression and mess go hand-in-hand for years, but so many people feel like they’re alone in it. You’re not.
“Your generation would probably ‘livetweet’ the apocalypse” you say, and you laugh
You mean it as an insult, and I understand,
Or you don’t
because the word lies awkwardly on you tongue, stumbles as it leaves your lips, air quotes visible
You meant it as an insult, so you don’t understand, when I look into your eyes and say “Yes”
Because we would.
It would be our duty, as citizens on this earth
to document it’s end the best way we know
and if that means a second by second update
of the world going up in flames, or down in rain, or crushed under the feet of invading monsters
so be it.
It would mean a second by second update of
“I love you”
“I’m scared”
“Are you all right?”
“Stay close”
“Be brave”
It would mean a second by second update of the humanity’s connection with one another,
Proof of empathy, love, and friendship between people who may have never met in the flesh.
So don’t throw the word ‘Livetweet’ at me like a dagger, meant to tear at my ‘teenage superiority’
Because if the citizens of Pompeii, before they were consumed by fire,
had a chance to tell their friends and family throughout Rome
“I love you”
“I’m scared”
“Don’t forget me”
Don’t you think they’d have taken the chance?
You mean it as an insult, and I understand,

Sometimes it hurts when people scorn internet cultre (via herrsassyfras) This is amazing (via desuke-dragonqueen) |
important things tumblr will not teach you
- hating everyone will get you nowhere
- actual depression fucking sucks
- having low self esteem isn’t cute
- you are as pretty as you believe you are
- cigarettes will kill you
it’s still February so it’s not too late to post this!
here is a short comic about the troubles of being a werewolf on Valentine’s Day

YO THIS IS MEGA CUTE
this man fell for nine seconds
#the longer I watch this the more beautiful it becomes #this looks like it was choreographed by a genius prodigy child not afraid to experiment with form #the underlying lines of motion have such striking austerity #the long scrapes punctuated by short bangs have a musical cadence to them emphasized by the laughter at the end #there is even a narrative flow following the three-act form #this is not only a video it is a work of art in every way

If you are a man and you learn about the thousands of years of oppression against women which has culminated in truly hazardous social conditions for them in the present day, and your first reaction is “men have problems too”, then I ask you to take a moment to truly reflect on your position, and why you feel the need to make women’s day to day struggle about you.

rosalind franklin discovered the double helix in dna but her research was stolen by two men before she could properly share the information and now watson and crick are famous for what she spent years studying
Plus she developed ovarian cancer that was most likely caused by radiation from the HUNDREDS of hours spent using x ray crystallography to ascertain the structure. She literally worked herself to death to be a footnote in most genetics textbooks.
