Alex's Tumblr Crashpad.

have you eaten yet today? if no, try to eat something. any calories >>> none. if you have a hard time knowing what foods to eat, try pinning a list of foods you ate and enjoyed somewhere where you'll see it when meal planning (kitchen, near your desk, by your bed, etc.)

have you drank any liquids recently? try to drink ~8oz, a cup, or whatever you can manage right now! water, juice, soda, milks, anything you can drink.

have you taken your meds? pills, injections, anything of that ilk. if you have medical equipment, is there anything you need to do for it, such as cleaning it, refilling something, charging it, anything like that?

how's your sleep today? if you haven't slept much, is there anything that would help you rest, nap, or be prepared to sleep more soon? a common cause of insomnia is anxiety - consider writing down before bed what you feel anxious about, and physically close whatever you made the note in while acknowledging that you have these anxieties, and you are allowed to let go right now.

have you said something nice about yourself today? try approaching a mirror, opening your camera, or in some way acknowledging yourself while saying something positive or at least neutral about yourself. some examples could be "i like my hair today", "i am wearing clothes that i like", "I am proud of myself for doing my laundry today"

is your laundry in the washer? in the dryer? what about dishes? anything else easy to set and forget about that you need to check on?

what inspires you to feel cared for? is it physical touch? being around others? making a meal you enjoy? crafting? rocking out to a song you enjoy? whatever it is, can you set aside a time today to do that?

reblog this with your name, what it means, and how you chose it.

I chose my name because I could, and I love it!

I chose my first name (Alex) because I just had a really strong psychic connection to said name.(It was even stronger than the connection that I had to my chosen middle name!)

My middle name (Indigo) was originally supposed to be my artist name and I chose that because one of my favorite colors is dark (indigo) blue.

A queer character is queer rep regardless of their romance or a lack thereof even. Ace and aro people exist. Trans people exist. Bi people exist. Queer characters are rep by existing, not just by who they interact with. If a character is nonbinary, they are queer rep whether they kiss someone or not. A bi character in a relationship with someone a different gender is still queer rep because they are still bi. Queer characters can even just be friends with one another. They can be single! And still be queer because that’s who they are not who they do!

This whole trend of deciding if art is valid representation based on romance and ships is reductive and dismissive of identities existing within individuals. And of the communities that we all need.

Just a reminder that trans is an umbrella term that includes both binary and non-binary genders. If you don’t support all of them then you are a transphobic asshole.
