Yankee Living In South Carolina

Reblog this if you’re from the Lowcountry and want to meet others. Summerville SC 24m here. Follow me and I’ll follow you back! Let’s meet!!

As you may know, Post it Forward was created to reinforce something Tumblr users had been doing on their own for years: being open, being kind, and offering support. For many people—particularly young people—it has been a safe haven for openly discussing issues that matter, especially issues pertaining to mental health. From Issue Time question and answer segments with licensed psychiatrists to celebrating Mental Health Month year after year, we’ve been committed to talking about things that matter since 2015.

That’s why we’re so excited to honor World Mental Health Day on Wednesday, October 10.

This year we paid homage to the day by partnering with Made of Millions, a grassroots mental health platform, for Seen: A Mental Health Exhibition. Featuring photography of Rose Cartwright by artist Yumna Al-Arashi, the premiere of their short film Mindstory, and incredible AR-enabled work from some hand-picked Tumblr Creatrs (@creatrs), this exhibit aimed to explore how the digital world can keep people from suffering in silence. You can see some of the pictures of the event above.

It’s important to be seen. And we see you, Tumblr. Stay tuned here to @postitforward. We’re going to reblog some posts that speak to mental health and self care all day long. Want to join in the discussion? Tag your posts with #postitforward so it’s easy for the rest of the community to find you and interact.

And remember, there are resources out there if you need them. It’s okay to use any help you can get.

Ditch the Label (@ditchthelabel) is one of the largest international anti-bullying projects. It offers free support for anyone who signs up for their community. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s there for you.

It Gets Better (@itgetsbetterproject) gives support for members of the LGBTQ+ community who want it.

It’s Ok To Talk is a safe space to share your experiences with mental health, mental illness and wellbeing.

And of course, Made of Millions is an amazing new 501c3  grassroots mental health non-profit launching on World Mental Health Day.

All my SC folks where you at????

Mr. Graham,

Yesterday, you went on what I can only call a tirade during the Kavanaugh hearing. You said some pretty stupid things in your anger, but this… this makes me wonder who, exactly, you were trying to bamboozle on behalf of senate Republicans…

“All I can say is that we’re 40-something days away from the election. And their goal, not Ms. Ford’s goal, is to delay this past the midterms so they can win the Senate and never allow Trump to fill the seat.” Even if that is true, even if the democrats don’t care one iota about the allegations made against Brett Kavanaugh,this is the pot calling the kettle black if ever I’ve seen it. This is politics, Mr. Graham, and you’re not new.

Later, you went on Hannity and said, “To my friends on the other side, I would never have done this to one of your nominees, you should be ashamed.” I can only say, and I’ve combed the dictionary for the word I think best represents my view, bullshit.

First of all, you haven’t been faced with the possibility because of the way you and other Republicans stonewalled Merrick Garland, President Obama’s supreme court nominee, (please see above bolded quote to properly appreciate the irony). Secondly, yes. You absolutely would have and had a responsibility to react to a democratic nominee the way the democrats have reacted to Kavanaugh if the same allegations were made. If you had not, you would have let your constituency down in the most reprehensible way.

What you are doing now is letting them down in the second most reprehensible way.
