I won $250 on the lottery one number away from 50k let's get it ladies
reblog and good luck will come to you but only if you're lgbt+
hey guys the AC just started working again this is the only real good luck post
Eddie Munson, who looks feral enough some days that youâd believe he chomps down on rare beef without chewing, is actually only still alive because of sweet potatoes.
When he'd first arrived on his doorstep, three foster families in and nearly silent, Wayne had been pretty focused on just keeping him alive. There wasnât a lot of extra cash floating around most weeks, but what he had, he spent on random treats he assumed kids liked. Colourful packages of cookies, cereal boxes with insanely dressed cartoons on them, and pastries that somehow tasted decent from the toaster.
Eddie wouldnât eat any of them.
Wayne was at a loss. Heâd thought, at 40, that he was never gonna be a father. Hadnât prepared his life for the care and feeding of another living being. He didnât even have a cat. There were things that peopleâŚlike him. Well, they just werenât meant to have families of their own. It was fine. Heâd filled his life differently. But it meant that when his idiot kid brother fucked up once again, and his son had started floating around the universe, well. It didn't matter that he wasn't really ready. Wayne was hardly going to let that stand.
And Eddie wasnât weak. He was hilarious and caring, a little firecracker of a kid who knew what he liked and wasnât afraid to tell you. Wayne was enamoured; every day with an eight-year-old was an adventure heâd never anticipated having.
But he could not get the kid to eat.
Heâd pick at anything Wayne handed him, politely taking bites every now and again. He was obviously eating enough to stay alive, but there was no excitement about food. None of the kid staples seemed to work.
Finally, in desperation, he just sets Eddie loose in the grocery store and tells him to pick whatever he wants. He anticipates regretting this choice. But Eddie, who is never shy, comes back with a single produce bag of lumpy, small sweet potatoes.
âThese are my favourites,â he says quietly, placing them in Wayneâs basket. âOrange taters. Donât know how to make âem, though.â
âNo problem, kid,â Wayne says, baffled. âIâll show you. We can make them together. Want anything else?â
âNah, you cook good. Just missed orange taters.â
This is how Wayne discovers that his sister-in-law had never cooked anything that wasnât frozen or from a box. A tiny detail, but it explained so much about Eddieâs relationship with food.
âOrange taters it is,â Wayne said, grabbing a few more.
That night, Wayne sliced up the sweet potatoes, tossed them with a little oil and salt, and roasted them until the edges caramelized. Eddieâs eyes lit up when Wayne set the plate in front of him. The kid devoured them, asking for seconds before Wayne had even sat down with his own portion.
After that, sweet potatoes became a staple. Wayne learned every possible way to prepare them; mashed with a little cinnamon, cut into fries, baked whole with butter melting into their centers. Eddie would eat anything if sweet potatoes were involved. Wayne started sneaking other vegetables alongside them, watching as Eddieâs hollow cheeks filled. Watching as Eddie opened up, taught Wayne how to freely be exactly who you were. Watching as Eddie took over cooking, preparing more vegetables than Wayne had ever known were available, like a five-star chef, dragging home library books of new information.
Seventeen years later, he canât help but remember that little boy in the grocery store as he watches Eddie nervously fly around the kitchen of their little townhouse. Itâs home now; now that his son had come back to him, now that he knew life was even more complicated than heâd thought. It was nice. Big enough for a family of two.
âYou know he already likes you, right?â he teases, grabbing a second mug of coffee as Eddie flourishes a towel.
âUnc. Please. Not now. This is the most important meal I have ever cooked.â
âSure,â he snorts. âCuz that kid ainât gonna say yes if he doesnât like the pot roast. He already lives here.â
âWayne,â Eddie says seriously, freezing.
Wayne raises his hands. âSweet potatoes are burning.â
He dips out of the kitchen before the tea towel hits him in the back. He knows that everything will be fine. Heâs excited, actually, to have both his kids in the same place. Cuz Steve Harrington, whoâd never had much of a family of his own either? Yeah.
Sweet potatoes are his favourite too.
Two years?! Iâm in!
why not
Iâll try it
Double your nana, double your yum
give me luck double banana
No fucking joke, I was offered 4 days of film-set marshalling and I told him I was unavailable for one of the days but I could cancel. And he told me heâd potentially found someone else.
I reblogged this.
And not 20 mins later, he came back to me and said if I really want it, let him know now. So fuck. Wow.
fuck it double the potassium, double the luck.

Steve was listening to Will talk and with each word the lump that started growing in his throat grew, and grew. It's not like he wasn't proud and happy for Will. He was. God, he was so proud and happy for him. Seeing everyone be so supportive and loving him unconditionally, it made Steve jealous. Jealous of what he didn't have. And never will have. His parents disowned him the second they caught him fooling around with a guy. That was 5 years ago and they have not been back to Hawkins or talked to him since. It hurt, it hurt so god damn much.
He felt the tears in his eyes and his vision getting blurry as he watched everyone hug Will. And Steve just stood there, frozen, unmoving. His eyes burned as he tried to hold back the tears, the sadness and anger. Why couldn't that be him right now? Why did his parents have to hate him? Shouldn't they love him unconditionally as well? He's their son for fucks sake. But no. They don't love him, and he's not sure they ever did.
Silently Steve slipped through the door and made his way down to the basement where he could cry in peace. He was gonna talk to Will later, tell him he's proud of him. But right now, he can't.
He sat down on the ground, tucking himself into the corner and making himself as small as possible, hugging his knees to his chest as he finally let the tears fall. And once he let them, the dam broke and there was nothing he could do to stop them. He quietly sobbed into his knees, his entire body shaking.
He startled when he felt a body sitting next to him, going tense at being caught. But he only got scooped up by strong arms and depositited on the persons lap. A hand came to rest at the back of his head, tucking him against the persons neck. Steve immediately calmed down as the unruly curls tickled his nose and he inhaled the smell of leather and cigarettes. Eddie. He pressed closer, wrapping his arm around Eddie's shoulder as he let the last few tears silently roll down his cheeks and onto Eddies shirt.

Steve knows thereâs no point in this.
In pulling the various vinyls from their shelves when Robâs on break. In queuing the songs with no explanation. In letting the loud music interrupt their regular mix of pop and oldies.
Itâs a jarring disruption- one that no doubt upsets the majority of their listeners. Not only that, it probably draws more attention to the Squawk than it should. Specifically military attention, the very thing that Steve is desperate to avoid day-in and day-out during Robinâs morning update on the state of things in Hawkins.
Logically, then, there should be no reason for him to take the metal records off the shelves and give them the air time they wouldnât otherwise have.
Hope, however, has a funny way of overcoming logic.

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

Blood.
In his mouth, his nose, his lungs. He claws at his throat, but thereâs blood on his hands and blood on his face and blood on the ground, and he canât escape the shrieking vortex of wings and fangs and pain that tears him apart, heâs drowning in his own blood, and-
Air.Â
Eddie lies, gasping and shaking. The moon paints a silver stripe over the wall with the wedding photos, like it always does just after midnight.Â

What grows from the ashes of your old life?
The data does not support the assumption that all burned out people can ârecover.â And when we fully appreciate what burnout signals in the body, and where it comes from on a social, economic, and psychological level, it should become clear to us that thereâs nothing beneficial in returning to an unsustainable status quo.Â
The term âburned outâ is sometimes used to simply mean âstressedâ or âtired,â and many organizations benefit from framing the condition in such light terms. Short-term, casual burnout (like you might get after one particularly stressful work deadline, or following final exams) has a positive prognosis: within three months of enjoying a reduced workload and increased time for rest and leisure, 80% of mildly burned-out workers are able to make a full return to their jobs.Â
But thereâs a lot of unanswered questions lurking behind this happy statistic. For instance, how many workers in this economy actually have the ability to take three months off work to focus on burnout recovery? What happens if a mildly burnt-out person does not get that rest, and has to keep toiling away as more deadlines pile up? And what is the point of returning to work if the job is going to remain as grueling and uncontrollable as it was when it first burned the worker out?Â
Burnout that is not treated swiftly can become far more severe. Clinical psychologist and burnout expert Arno van Dam writes that when left unattended (or forcibly pushed through), mild burnout can metastasize into clinical burnout, which the International Classification of Diseases defines as feelings of energy depletion, increased mental distance, and a reduced sense of personal agency. Clinically burned-out people are not only tired, they also feel detached from other people and no longer in control of their lives, in other words.
Unfortunately, clinical burnout has quite a dismal trajectory. Multiple studies by van Dam and others have found that clinical burnout sufferers may require a year or more of rest following treatment before they can feel better, and that some of burnoutâs lingering effects donât go away easily, if at all.Â
In one study conducted by Anita Eskildsen, for example, burnout sufferers continued to show memory and processing speed declines one year after burnout. Their cognitive processing skills improved slightly since seeking treatment, but the experience of having been burnt out had still left them operating significantly below their non-burned-out peers or their prior self, with no signs of bouncing back.Â
It took two years for subjects in one of van Damâs studies to return to ânormalâ levels of involvement and competence at work. following an incident of clinical burnout. However, even after a multi-year recovery period they still performed worse than the non-burned-out control group on a cognitive task designed to test their planning and preparation abilities. Though they no longer qualified as clinically burned out, former burnout sufferers still reported greater exhaustion, fatigue, depression, and distress than controls.
In his review of the scientific literature, van Dam reports that anywhere from 25% to 50% of clinical burnout sufferers do not make a full recovery even four years after their illness. Studies generally find that burnout sufferers make most of their mental and physical health gains in the first year after treatment, but continue to underperform on neuropsychological tests for many years afterward, compared to control subjects who were never burned out.Â
People who have experienced burnout report worse memories, slower reaction times, less attentiveness, lower motivation, greater exhaustion, reduced work capability, and more negative health symptoms, long after their period of overwork has stopped. Itâs as if burnout sufferers have fallen off their previous life trajectory, and cannot ever climb fully back up.Â
And thatâs just among the people who receive some kind of treatment for their burnout and have the opportunity to rest. I found one study that followed burned-out teachers for seven years and reported over 14% of them remained highly burnt-out the entire time. These teachers continued feeling depersonalized, emotionally drained, ineffective, dizzy, sick to their stomachs, and desperate to leave their jobs for the better part of a decade. But they kept working in spite of it (or more likely, from a lack of other options), lowering their odds of ever healing all the while.Â
Van Dam observes that clinical burnout patients tend to suffer from an excess of perseverance, rather than the opposite: âPatients with clinical burnoutâŚreport that they ignored stress symptoms for several years,â he writes. âLiving a stressful life was a normal condition for them. Some were not even aware of the stressfulness of their lives, until they collapsed.â
Instead of seeking help for workplace problems or reducing their workload, as most people do, clinical burnout sufferers typically push themselves through unpleasant circumstances and avoid asking for help. Theyâre also less likely to give up when placed under frustrating circumstances, instead throttling the gas in hopes that their problems can be fixed with extra effort. They become hyperactive, unable to rest or enjoy holidays, their bodies wired to treat work as the solution to every problem. It is only after living at this unrelenting pace for years that they tumble into severe burnout.Â
Among both masked Autistics and overworked employees, the people most likely to reach catastrophic, body-breaking levels of burnout are the people most primed to ignore their own physical boundaries for as long as possible. Clinical burnout sufferers work far past the point that virtually anyone else would ask for help, take a break, or stop caring about their work.
And when viewed from this perspective, we can see burnout as the saving grace of the compulsive workaholicâââand the path to liberation for the masked disabled person who has nearly killed themselves trying to pass as a diligent worker bee.Â

#I can sense I'm not at full capacity and I don't think I ever will be again#when things start to get even a bit too stressful these days I start getting insane psychosomatic symptoms#I get migraines my nose bleeds my ears ring I can't eat I can't sleep I get dizzy and asthmatic and depressed#my therapist and I like to talk about it as if I was poisoned by stress and now my body has an out of control instinctive reaction to it#but also I just accept that the good part of burning out was that I can just never push myself that hard anymore#I will never again what I was but also being that sucked ass. so. these days I'm just taking it easy but taking it
#i clinically burned out in high school#i lost the ability for adrenaline/stress to motivate me to do anything#i had to relearn how to do EVERYTHING#i do sort of have a stress response back now#but it definitely does not work as well as pre-burnout#not that iâm testing that. lol#but the few years after burnout were actually very peaceful. i simply could not be stressed out i was incapable of it#iâm forever greatful i hit this point in high school because otherwise i would have inevitably hit it in college#where it would have had way worse consequences
Two sets of responses on this post that I think are so illuminating of what happens behind the scenes during a burnout. The body becomes so stress reactive that the cocktail of urgency/overwhelm/guilt/etc that you were running on previously no longer works, and strikes you as threatening, which means you become a lot more sensitive to smaller signs of stress in your life, which forces you to take things easier for a very long time. which given adequate supports can be great.

Steve was supposed to be paying attention. Really, he was. Mr. Callahanâs droning about quadratic equations was the kind of thing that usually made his brain shut down on its own, but heâd promised himself â again â that this semester heâd at least try. At least pretend he cared. College applications were still a sore spot, and his dadâs voice lingered in the back of his head like an unwelcome echo.
But then there was Eddie.
Of course there was Eddie.
One second, Steve was tapping his pencil against the corner of his notebook, half-tuned to the lecture, and the next there was movement beside him, a sly grin shot in his direction, and then Eddie just⌠dropped. Like gravity gave up on him.

There are certain places you expect to see certain people, and there are certain places you would never in a million years expect to see others. The Phoenix Club, hours away from Hawkinsâ full of queers and delightful degenerates â is that place, and Steve Harrington is the person Eddie never expected to see.
