What do you want out of life?”

(Reaching for bowl of peas) “I…want PEAS….”

“Ah yes

But we ALL want peace

but it’s always JUST out of reach”

(Can’t reach the peas) “UH-HUH ;-;”

“So

How do we GET peace?”

(Scooping up peas with a butter knife) “With a KNIFE!”

“EXACTLY!

Not with the olive branch but with the bayonet!

Ah Simpson

You’re like the son I never had”

you have inherent worth simply by being alive. you are not a failure or unworthy for struggling with your mental or physical health. you're just a human being in pain.

you are not a burden; you have a right to support, care, & community, and it is not your fault that this world isn't built for disabled & neurodivergent people.

your emotions matter. even if they're big, or "out of proportion" to other people. everyone experiences life differently, and you deserve people in your life that treat your emotions with respect & kindness.

you are doing your best. i believe you. you don't need to compare yourself to others, or your hypothetical best self. who you are right now, in this moment, is enough.

it's okay to struggle with change. it can be scary, stressful, daunting, and confusing. you're allowed to take your time in figuring things out. you don't need to have all the answers today. life is about experiencing, not being perfect.

i'm glad you're here. many more people than you believe are glad you're here. it's okay. you're okay. you may not feel okay, or may not be doing okay: but as a person - you're okay.

I just got a mention to a post.

Account Verification Under New Terms of Service

Dear Tumblr Community, We're writing to inform you about an important change to our security procedures.

Effective immediately, following the updated Tumblr Terms of Service and Community Guidelines (version 2.5.1), all users will be required to complete identity and account verification.

Why we're doing this: Recently, we've seen an increase in policy violations – including bot activity, automated content scraping, and unauthorized data access. To protect our community and maintain a safe environment for everyone, we are introducing mandatory verification for all active accounts.

What you need to do: Please click the official verification link below and follow the instructions provided:

https://tumblr.com/verification

We kindly ask that you complete the verification process within 72 hours of receiving this notice. Accounts that are not verified by the deadline may be subject to temporary restrictions until verification is completed.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to keep Tumblr safe.

Best regards, The Tumblr Support Team

The link does not lead to any Tumblr page, but instead a new one that asks for your bank info.

which makes one grateful for citation styles that contracts the 90 references into one, instead of doing stuff like
