brief disclaimer TW: self harm
these may work for you and not for others. no hurt in trying.
Create a safe space. this can be anything you like. a blanket on the floor, a corner of your room a pile of your favourite stuffed animals. a big hoodie. a comfortable blanket. anything that makes you feel comfortable and safe. my favourite is my tiles with my stuffies. i spend lots of time on the floor!
Cook yourself a new recipe. personally i do this one because i love to go out of my comfort zone, when i’m feeling low i like to cook things i normally eat just with new spices or whatever i have in my cupboards! an example is spicy noodles, sometimes i’ll add some fried veggies or a fried egg, other times i will make a whole new meal!
Do something spontaneous. this can be anything safe! go for a run, i personally like to run until my muscles hurt when i’m really upset. it’s a form of productive self harm. your muscles will be sore but they will heal. it’s a way of channeling the bad brain into a physical pain.
Express yourself with colors. this one is fun. grab your nearest drawing or coloring utensil and some paper and scribble. i scribble and scratch until i feel better. this can be one drawing or 7 whatever helps.
Go outside and scream. the nabours won’t care. i don’t care. scream until you feel better.
Ice therapy. take ice and put it on areas of your skin that will hurt or sting a bit. take it off when it hurts (you don’t want frostbite) you can put this on your wrists, inside of your elbows, your tummy, anywhere you’d want to SH.
Take a marker and color on yourself. preferably a washable one. write things you hate about yourself or your body or the world. then SCRIBBLE IT OUT. best thing about this is you can wash it off.

yesterday i reblogged a drawing resource that included how to draw hijabs - and it honestly wasn’t the best advice i’ve seen out there
now, i’m not an artist. but what i saw was a video that included hijab styles most of us don’t really wear and incorrect terminology surrounding niqabs and burqas (yes, there is a difference between the two)
so, i went searching and found a tutorial that i felt was better! these drawing guides and examples come from @/winchestermeg on twitter, and i think they’re really great 💕
this has more relevant examples and correct terminologies, and is drawn by a muslim woman
enjoy, artists of tumblr!

I grow our own vegetables. Many hybrid and heirloom varieties are bred for flavor rather than for commercial appeal and travel. There are entire species on the allotment that you can’t easily buy in stores because of this - like salsify, a root vegetable that tastes of fish and shellfish. Our neighbours happily take it to make vegan latkes of alarming similarity to fishcakes. You cannot sell it in stores because - despite looking like a white parsnip - it turns brown when you pick it if you scrape/bruise/cut the white root in any way, or damage the delicate little hairs, for some reason, it BLEEDS RED and is very upsetting to look at.
There are whole classes of foods like this. Foods that just don’t ship well or look good on supermarket shelves. Forbidden fruits. Vegetables that bleed and taste like meat. Sorry about this
