I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

I spent my internship at a DV agency and we always had specialized trainings for cosmetologists. Oftentimes, abuse victims and people with severe depression will not only open up to their stylists, but the stylists will often see bruises and cuts from abuse and self harm that may be hidden by hair. We always gave them…

My favorite vine of all time.

This photo of my homeland brings me deep comfort.

I ordered this pink

My fiancé and I have been working on this puzzle together. I find it really relaxing.

Doing something different tonight for the mental health/self care thread in light of certain events today:

qwhite interesting, isn’t it?

I wouldn’t trust that motherfucker to even feel the impact of the death of millions. He’d start complaining to his aides about how shitty his nuclear winter bunker was within minutes.

I’m still in disbelief that we’re apparently issuing governmental policy via 140 characters on a third-party private service.

I’m overweight and my fingers still look like that. Now I wonder how they would look if I lost weight. Someone once said that with hands like these I could steal letters out of mail boxes.

:(

Cucumbers are better anyway. This rapscallion should be lauded and rewarded for replacing their shitty zucchini with a delicious cucumber. If there’s security footage, I hope somebody leeks it so we can all know who this American hero is.

I know taking without asking is wrong but a part of me thinks it’s cute. Someone found themselves without zucchinis but with plenty of cucumbers while in the middle of preparing a dish so they went out and took a zucchini from the garden and left the two cucumbers as a trade. I just don’t feel that it was done with…

She is very lovely! I put a bid on one of the items and it showed me the shipping cost, but maybe it was after I bid. If you live close enough though, you can arrange to pick her up in person!

Charlie reminds me so much of our late, great, gigantic grey tabby cat, and I feel terrible for her. He seems like such a sweet boy.

She’s amazing to the NYC foster community! I foster cats here as well and it’s so tough - there are so many of them and lots have diseases and/or are feral. She takes in dozens at a time and gets them ready for adoption. Follow her IG if you like kittens! There are many heartwarming stories.

Remember when we couldn’t elect Hillary because she was a hawk who would start wars?

Chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta with vinaigrette. It’s delicious, keeps for a week, and only gets better as it sits and the flavors all meld together.

A good reliable printer so she doesn’t have to rely on the college ones for printing everything. And some of that fancy photo paper stuff.
