i’ve witnessed a lot of people recently coming to a place in their healing/recovery where they no longer feel able to sustain the harm of work (under capitalism). they’ll say, sometimes half-jokingly, “what i really need is to not have to go to my job.” and i’m like, yes!!! yes! this is dead serious. this is a naming of harm that’s so obvious and yet so obscured in our society. there’s something stark about going thru a recovery process where you comb areas of your life for ways to be kinder to yourself and to pursue thriving, and in the area of work it’s this inexorable, violent robbery of half your life to which the alternative is being left to die. the absurdity of trying to heal all around this when we could… not have to do that 

cock is canceled. not only that, but balls are problematic

i hate this place i want to go to build a bear

:\/ !!!!

See, this is why I use Tumblr. I just came from reading a large post about male privilege and I immediately see a dog made of broccoli with absolutely no context.

you are growing from this you are growing from this you are growing from this

When you feel drained, teach yourself to prioritize your recovery, instead of giving up. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take time to recharge yourself until you’re ready to be in a creative mode again. Balance is inherent to nature and we are just as much a part of that cycle as anything else. Sometimes you are in receptive, passive mode, and other times you are in creative, active mode. Instead of fighting these natural currents, learn to ride the wave and use them in your favor.
