I feel like Reeves is one of the few genuinely good people left in the world of celebrities
To my understanding Reeves lives in a nice but relatively small apartment and only keeps enough of his paychecks from each movie to live comfortably, maintain a cushion, and take the occasional vacation, and then he just gives the rest away without fanfare to people who need that money. He’s living the kind of lifestyle I feel like a lot of us would be happy to have with access to that kind of money.
Rich people do this challenge
honestly in the unlikely event i ever become rich goals
as a former pageant kid the amount of emotional abuse i went through because of my mother always pushing me to be beautiful and then blaming me and hating me when i didnt win was fucked up. being a pageant kid gave me an eating disorder and has seriously fucked with my self esteem. don’t put your kids through this. don’t let your 5 year old be objectified by others and yourself.
the thing I hate most when people critique TWEWY is when they say that neku should have stayed “emo” because he was either more relatable or more entertaining to them and just… oh my God did you even play the game? do you understand at all why that was such an abhorrent idea?
if neku is relatable to you then you seriously need to re-examine your own life and what the game’s core messages were all about. the entire game was set up to show you how horrendous being isolated can be and that the only way you can truly expand your horizons is not by going off on your own, but by sharing your experiences and troubles with others and connecting with them. neku was a miserable piece of shit for that first couple of days because he actively shut out any conflicting world views around him and it was only when he looked around and actually got a feel for people that he came to appreciate his life and the world around him.
neku had to change to give meaning to his surroundings, to himself, and to other people. neku had to shed his former self in order for any of this change to be impactful. neku Had to grow.
Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.
So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.
You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.
Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.
Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.
Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.
I honestly hate how art and media have kind of romanticized the idea of like “going off your meds and being your true self again” because like I started taking antidepressants and like immediately got a new job, found a place to live, improved my relationships with people in my life and completely reconciled with my sort of estranged ex-girlfriend?? Medication can be rad and while I realize that it’s not for everybody I don’t think anything should be trying to convince anyone that being on medication inherently makes you less of who you are
(Most) Medication is for helping you to be you again. The real me isn’t tired by just walking to the train station. The real me is not my anxiety or depression. They don’t define me.
The real me is who I am when I’m not anxious and feeling worthless 24/7.
Medication is supposed to be the chemical equivalent of glasses or a wheelchair, depending on the severity of impairment. It tries to help you compensate for what has been taken, been broken, or is missing.
In particular, i always hear the myth that anti-depressants give you “artificial happiness”… no, no, no. They give your brain the ability to be happy. You won’t always be happy, and sometimes you’ll be sad. But the happiness you’re able to feel when you’re on meds is your own, real, happiness.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE NEUROTYPICALS IN THE BACK!!!
I mean this is important for neurotypicals but it’s honestly more important for people who struggle with mental illness and hate being on meds for a variety of reasons (aka me).
Take away med stigma! Don’t deny yourself something that can help you live a more fulfilling life and don’t shame people for their choices!
I have had the honor of working on two different comics projects with Don Hertzfeldt. Flight, and Fusion Future. But this is the story of my first interaction with the man.
I lost my shit at the one behind the couch pillow.
fun fact (that won’t make this any less cute, I promise): children this age likely have not fully developed object permanence yet, so they think that just because they can’t see you, that means you can’t see them
