In Case No One’s Told You Lately:

I sincerly hope that our generation of parents love their children more openly.

We don’t need another generation of kids with depression and anxiety and self-esteem issues.

We don’t need another generation of kids that are too afraid to talk to their parents.

We don’t need another generation of kids struggling through careers that they hate because their dreams don’t match their parents’.

We know how badly we need to be told and shown that we’re loved. We know how much we want to be told that we are good enough. We know how it feels to have absolutely no refuge in this harsh world.

May our homes be safe havens for our kids, always.

I just saw a post about the Calm Harm app that said there's also a very similar app called Clear Fear! I didn't want to reblog that post because some of the reblogs were very guilt trippy, so here's my own post about it:

Clear Fear is an app that helps you with anxiety attacks in much the same way Calm Harm helps with self harm. You can customise your colours, you can add a passcode to it so that other people can't open the "self-monitoring" tab with your information, and you can customise your gender. This last bit is only for research purposes but I thought it was nice :)

When you first open the app, it asks you to make your own personal list of activities that you know help you reduce anxiety. You can also add contact numbers of people you know you can talk to when you're having an attack. You can fill these in later, tho!

Once inside the app, you can go back to these lists in the tab "safety net":

The orange circle takes you to a hotline number page. The other two circles take you to the activities and people that you listed earlier. If you write down these lists when you're feeling good, it'll help you remember all the things that can help and that you may not be able to list while you're having an attack!

There are many more options depending on your individual needs — an animal gif section, a joke section, a section with ideas to express yourself, a list of positive thoughts and inspirational quotes, breathing activities, information on the different types of anxiety, and much more!

As an end note, please don't add guilt-tripping comments to this post. No one must reblog this — only those who feel comfortable doing so!

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

Avengers Endgame is (nearly) out so reblog this post to let your followers know that you will NOT be posting from footage of the movie (only from officially released clips) AND that you will be tagging spoilers for the first few weeks

THIS BOY IS SIX FOOT SEVEN WHAT THE LORD ALMIGHTY

THIS BOY IS SIX FOOT SEVEN WHAT THE LORD ALMIGHTY

I am HERE TO LOUDLY AND PROUDLY ANNOUNCE THAT I AM HEREBY IN LOVE WITH MILES CHEN AS A CHARACTER IN GIRL IN SPACE AND IF ANYBODY DOESNT THINK SO I WILL THROW HANDS

I go nuts when people suggest that Steve Rogers wouldn’t know how to use a tablet or a computer. People show him slamming his face into a smartphone as though he doesn’t have fingers or some shit. Like. The man is fucking brilliant. He’s a strategist, knows a million languages, worked to break into Hydra bases with his wits not just slamming a shield into things, and y’all think he’d pick up a tablet and be like “HOW DOES THIS WORK YOUNG ONES?!”

no.

Steve Rogers would be left alone with the tablet for a bit. He’d spend some time poking, scrolling, slowly getting the hang of how it works. He’d need a minute to figure out what buttons do and such. And then he’d realize how to bring up the keyboard, how sensitive it is and how careful he has to be. He’d learn how to download apps, where they are, how to open them. He’d learn WHAT apps do what, how to sort them, etc.

Soon, I guarantee you, Steve would have a fully customized tablet with his apps in order of use and a program he found on how to store and lock complicated password keychains. 

Steve *chooses* to use that notepad he has and write since he likes doing art, but I’m telling you, Steve probably uses tech better than people give him credit for and I’m not here to shame Steve Rogers for that.

Aghhh
