some days you’re just the squashed nutrigrain bar that exists at the bottom of every purse or bookbag
You’re right no matter what I look like I’m still a snack and people are always grateful when they realize I’m there thank you for the inspiration post
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s grossly unethical to pay your employees so little that they could work for you full time and still not have enough money to live on. If you can’t pay your employees a living wage, you’re failing as a business. If you can and you won’t, you’re failing as a person.
This is a really helpful page in my CBT textbook for tackling some of the maladaptive beliefs we often hold. The first column lists the rules and assumptions we often may tell ourselves, while the second column is a more functional belief. Just thought I would pass this along. Be kind to yourselves, friends❤
Oh my god, number 5. And 6, and 7.
I frigging needed that.
Failure is not a permanent condition.
The text on the image:
Maladaptive belief:
If I don’t do as well as others, I’m a failure. More functional belief:
If I don’t do as well as others, I’m not a failure, just human.
Maladaptive belief: If I ask for help, it’s a sign of weakness. More functional belief: If I ask for help when I need it, I’m showing good problem-solving abilities (which is a sign of strength).
Maladaptive belief: If I fail at work/school, I’m a failure as a person. More functional belief:
If I fail at work/school, it’s not a reflection of my whole self. (My whole self includes how I am as a friend, daughter, sister, relative, citizen, and community member, and my qualities of kindness, sensitivity to others, helpfulness, etc.) Also, failure is not a permanent condition.
Maladaptive belief: I should be able to excel at everything I try. More functional belief: I shouldn’t be able to excel at something unless I am gifted in that area (and am willing and able to devote considerable time and effort toward it at the expense of other things.
Maladaptive belief: I should always work hard and do my best. More functional belief: I should put in a reasonable amount of effort much of the time.
Maladaptive belief: If I don’t live up to my potential, I have failed. More functional belief: If I do less than my best, I have succeeded perhaps 70%, 80%, or 90%; not 0%.
Maladaptive belief: If I don’t work hard all the time, I’ll fail. More functional belief:
If I don’t work hard all the time, I’ll probably do reasonably well and have a more balanced life.
im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers
ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds.
(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)
Yes this!
Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)
And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).
Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).
Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.
Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.
You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.
Or you should lose weight and we’ll run tests again.
Doctors irl: hmm this might just be your new ‘normal’
Doctors irl: I believe you are suffering from a rare case of being a female and/or Black?
Doctors irl: You clearly have *x medical issue*. It’s just the symptoms are completely different in you, and the treatments don’t work for you, but I am nonetheless certain that you have X, and I will engage in no further tests or consideration of this… until you end up in hospital and are diagnosed with Y, also known as thecondition you raised with me today as a potential explanation. Now here is a prescription for drugs that won’t work, enjoy those side effects!
Incidentally every time you come back for a repeat of the drugs for Y, I will suggest you try the drugs for X again, because boy howdy do I hate admitting I was wrong.
I hate the uptick in the use of the word “matters” since the start of the Black Lives Matter movement.
I saw a Mazda ad that said “driving matters.”
Just saw another ad that says “people matter.”
Fuck you.
It’s not a trendy buzzword you can just use for marketing.
It’s literally Black people asking you to stop killing us, and you turned it in to clicks and profit.
damn i made this same post a few years back, so im not nuts
And thats a serious problem.
i made a post talking about how marketing strategy has changed to make everyone feel like they are “rebellious” and “standing up against-blank) and used several examples of just the few commercials i had heard while typing it. one was the driving matters, others were”Dinner matters”, “sleeping matters”, “vitamins matter”,
companies that, before BLM was created, would try to appeal to peoples ego’s by using whole catch lines, were now just using -blank- matters. and yes, it’s a tactic.
That driving matters slogan don’t even make any sense. They can’t even use logic while stealing our shit.
They tried to BLM into a joke and they want us to know they lack compassion for black people by using those dumbass slogans. These marketing companies literally wait for black people to make something popular and then use it in their ads.
i wanna talk about the fact that jenna marbles says she never used to scream laugh before she met her man julien. that is the single most romantic thing i’ve ever heard of oh my god? imagine living your life for a good two and a half decades and every time something funny happened you laughed like you always had and then one day you meet this person you like and they make you have this one laugh where you scream from happiness. imagine that kind of life you get to have with your person where they unlocked an entire new level of laughing for you. that’s what real hashtag goals are.
yall realize diversity isnt just white people and then one poc right? the world is full people of different races and cultures and not representing that in your characters is. gross lol
it is absolutely required that white people rb this
