Okay so I’m sure you’ve all heard of the quiet place project. Well if not I am going to tell you because it has stopped me from doing serious damage more than once.
This gem right here is where you can literally create a 100% anonymous username and just absolutely spill your guts. Then people can read it and give you advice, and it honestly is so helpful. Because the other people on it are in the same situations as you, and they understand. You can comment and give advice on other peoples posts too, and it’s just really great.
This little beauty is similar to the comfort spot. Except instead of posting your thoughts, you type them into the box and then when you press enter they disappear and turn into stars against the blue sky. There is a whole bunch of different languages to choose from at the start, so if English is not your first language then you can probably find it here. There is the most comforting music that plays in the background as well, which is so great.
Which is so good for panic related things because it silences all of your other tabs and when you make it full screen it talks to you very calmly and then literally forces you stop for just 30 seconds and do nothing and just breathe.
Okay, so this is my actual favourite, it’s called the dawn room
The dawn room is so great for stopping you from self harming. It begins by telling you that its going to be alright, then it asks you to write something about someone you love. After that messages from other people, just like you, appear on the screen, one after the other, and the background slowly become brighter and happier. This page has genuinely stopped me from hurting myself more times than I can count. I’m not suggesting that it will work for everyone, but it is an absolute gem.
This page runs for about 5 minutes, and it is basically a typing simulator that tries to convince you that everything is going to be alright. It is very calming, and good for lonely times.
I can honestly say that this website has done me so so much good. I appreciate it with every bit of my being.
please reblog
this sounds so lovely
I love this
I adore The Dawn Room and have used it multiple times myself. Also for the rooms besides the comfort spot don’t require any sort of sign up to use in case you don’t feel up to signing up for something or anything.
This weeks strip is a sensitive one, because I know it will cause a few people to probably get a little upset. Heidi and I HAVE been invited to a few of these Gender Reveal Parties. We’ve always declined, but never offered up any reasons why, per say. But today’s strip has been a punched up version of a very real conversation we have each time it happens.
As a transgender woman, I have a real issue with the idea of Gender Reveal Parties. My own existence kinda negates the real impact of saying “It’s a GIRL/BOY!” when me just being there would be like holding a sign that says “Well, you think that NOW…”
And I have to question to morality of taking that “reveal” as the guide by which you will try and essentially indoctrinate a child in a gender that you won’t REALLY know for a few years at least is correct. I KNOW that it fucked ME up. Just my two cents, for what they are worth.
I AM sorry to anyone that finds this strip or my comments here uncomfortable. But being asked to gender reveal parties makes ME really uncomfortable, and I guess it’s better if that’s out there.
and then Eris threw the apple of Discourse, inscribed “to the least problematic,” into the feast
Percy Shelley: [trying to write]
Lord Byron: Shelley?… Shelley?… Shelley?… Shelley?…Shelley? … Shelley… Shelley… Shelley… Shelley… Shelley?… Shelley. Shelley.
Percy Shelley: This better be good.
Lord Byron: You know the black bits in bananas? Are they tarantula’s eggs?
Percy Shelley: …Please don’t speak to me ever again in your life.
Lord Byron: What’s your novel about?
Percy Shelley: It’s about a genius who can’t get anything done because of a monkey that keeps annoying him.
Lord Byron: You’ve made a classic error.
Percy Shelley: Have I?
Lord Byron: What you’ve done is you’ve focused in on the wrong character, yeah? Now, the monkey, I’m loving him, but the other guy, I’m getting nothing off him. He sounds like a dick.
Y’know what, let me just diagram you out a tree of the levels of meta of my hobbies
First order hobby: making things out of wood in your woodshop
Second order hobby: buying lots of cool tools and organizing your woodshop so it looks nice, although you never manage to use it to make anything
Third order hobby: reading lots of woodworking magazines and tool catalogs so you can fantasize about having a nice woodshop some day
Fourth order hobby: collecting and organizing your woodworking magazines and catalogs so they look nice on the shelf, although you never get around to reading them
Fifth order hobby: making some shelves – out of wood, perhaps – for the catalogs and magazines that you fantasize about collecting
