Interrupting my unnecessary shit posting for something that is actually important
George Floyd, Rekia Boyd, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Jordan Edwards.....These are just a few of the beautiful angels, whose lives were stolen from them and their families as a result of police brutality. It shatters my heart to know that there are so many other beautiful cherubs who have been killed, all of them innocent. When the people who were supposed to protect the innocent are killing them (especially CHILDREN), we know hatred and hostility is poisoning whatever humanity is left in this horrible, twisted society.
When you go and harass an actor, a real person, over your stupid not even canon ship of a fictional TV show you should clearly overthink your life choices and delete all your social media and throw your phone out of the window cos you’re just being fuckn gross and an idiot.
Oh, Bellarke. You are so loved and so so missed.
(And to the fandom that's currently crashing out that Bellarke is still beloved, we know the one, y'all stay safe out there.)
I just really want to say that the BLM movement is not a 2020 disaster by any means. I know a lot of ppl keep saying that this year keeps getting worse but I think that black voices finally being heard is a sign of improvement
Hey FYI the way they show CPR on TV isn't how it actually goes. They can't do proper CPR on actors because its dangerous to do it properly on someone whos heart is still beating, but that pathetic soft little gentle chest-press that you see on films and shows? And the way their shoulders move a lot? Yeah, nah.
CPR is hard work. You've got to press the persons chest down one third of the chests depth. Thats not something you can do by pressing gently on a chest. You have to have straight arms, lock your shoulders, and use your whole body weight to press down on the chest. And you have to do it fast. A great song to sing to get the pace right is Staying Alive by the Bee Gees. Easy to remember, because when you're pumping someone's chest to manually manipulate their heart you are gonna be begging that they stay alive.
I really cannot emphasise the importance of learning CPR enough. It's so important. Please learn it. Even if you dont have access to a proper course -- even if you just look some tutorials up on YouTube, and then practice the pumping action on your mattress, that would be better than nothing.
You dont even have to worry about mouth to mouth, if thats a concern for you; most CPR advice these days is to not bother with mouth to mouth unless there are two of you and you're both trained; the action of chest compressions works well enough to compress and expand the lungs that it sort of functions as a two-fer; it beats the heart and it pumps enough air through the lungs that you don't have to do the mouth to mouth part.
Please learn CPR. Please.

Free Viet Tran!! He is only 21 and still in jail!
Just bc most people in Canada are nice doesn’t mean people can ignore this
Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it
I really enjoyed helping bring @matan4il‘s meta thoughts to life! More to come soon! Watch this space. =)
god i’m too dumb to be a twenty one pilots stan
things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
move the pictures on your wall
stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
shower with the lights off, without music
buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night
listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015
