Insects In My Brain

Are you:

Drinking water?

Moving your body?

Eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats?

Sleeping 7-9 hours every day on a regular schedule?

Getting (non-excessive) sunlight?

Existing in well-lit spaces during the day?

Limiting caffeine, alcohol, and recreational drug intake?

Reliably taking your prescription medications?

Writing down your stressors and plans for managing them?

Poster’s note:

You’re getting your gay stuff early because I’m impatient. It’s surprisingly difficult to find gay male couples in historical art. Even more so than lesbians and trans people, for some reason. A lot of their depictions are outright sexual. While I don’t have a problem with that, I thought it’d be nice to have a different kind of depiction of gay love. There’s more coming soon.
