Post reblogged from everybody loves the moon.
man everyone is just going through it like. this fully sucks for everyone
not even like joking around like genuinely if you’re also Going Through It right now i hope stuff gets better for you. like. everything sucks in a way that feels like it’s completely out of my/our control and it feels like a hill too steep to climb
idk how good or bad things are for you right now but we’re all going to endure this and who knows how much better or how much worse things will get but we’re gonna do this together and make it out the other side

ALTI’m just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they’d finished their collection of games for it back in April.
Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they’ve got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is… considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they’ve only gotten manuals for three games. So if you’ve got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual’s still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!
Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm’s Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.
I’ve been using Vimm’s Lair for years, I have yet to see a single bad link or virus on the entire site. It’s arguably the safest and most comprehensive archive of video games in existence. Preserved history
Fyi Vimm’s lair just recently got hit and had to take down quite a bit, but there’s still a lot available atm, so if you’re hemming and hawing now’s the time

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:
-“it only hurts a little” is still pain
-“I can ignore it” is still pain
-“I can cope with/manage it” is still pain
-“it’s bearable” is still pain
-“I can push through it” is still pain
-“it doesn’t hurt that much” is still pain
-“it doesn’t stop me from doing x” is still pain
You don’t need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.

Project 2025 advisory board members have attacked or outright called for the end of no-fault divorce, the option to dissolve a marriage without having to prove wrongdoing by a partner. Research highlighted by CNN found “no-fault divorce correlates with a reduction in female suicides and a reduction in intimate partner violence,” including “an 8 to 16% decrease in female suicides after states enacted no-fault divorce laws.”
Project 2025 is backed by a nearly-900 page policy book called Mandate for Leadership, which extensively outlines potential approaches to governance for the next Republican administration, including replacing federal employees with extremists and Trump loyalists and attacking LGBTQ rights, abortion, and contraception. The Heritage Foundation’s proposals have a track record of success — the first Trump administration implemented 64% of Mandate’s policy recommendations. Project 2025 is also supported by a coalition of over 100 conservative organizations, many of which have spent years promoting critiques of no-fault divorce as “destructive” for society — or even blaming it for enabling a “culture of death.” According to a Media Matters review, at least 22 Project 2025 advisory board members have made similar comments targeting, restricting, or eliminating no-fault divorce.
Additionally, MAGA and far-right media figures have pushed for the removal of no-fault divorce laws across the country, and several local Republican parties in Texas, Nebraska, and Louisiana have called for the dissolution of no-fault divorce in some capacity.Project 2025 partner organizations, including the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Family Research Council, and The Heritage Foundation, have called for significant restrictions or an outright ban on no-fault divorce.

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I’d pass it on.
I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?
These people seem to get it, though. It’s very simple in places. It’s basically the cookbook for people who think, ‘I’m really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can’t think of anything else to cook that won’t exhaust me’.
And it’s free!

Take a reassurance and pass this on to your followers:
Making a mistake doesn’t make you a bad person
You’re allowed to have boundaries even when they upset people
They shouldn’t have treated you like that; you didn’t deserve it
People would miss you if you weren’t here anymore
It’s okay to take a break and rest
You’ve made so much progress already even if it doesn’t seem like it
Your unique contributions are worthwhile; no one else does it like you
You can have more than one feeling at the same time; that’s normal
A little treat does make it better for a little while
People will love you even when you’re not perfect
It’s really hard to unlearn bad coping methods but you’re doing a great job
Where you are right now is not your final destination: keep going
See ResultsIt can be really hard to learn to engage in positive self talk, but sometimes it’s easier to start by pretending it’s coming from a friend, first 💜

My partner and I cancelled our Adobe accounts today because of this. Imagine if makers of physical art media had the right to pilfer your sketchbooks because you used their pencils and paints. That’s basically what Adobe is trying to foist on everyone.
These guys are way too famous for overreach. WTF.
Here’s how to cancel for free

Just looked at a blog where the header description said ‘sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don’t forget them’.
And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.
People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.
Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart’s content. Or not organize at all, if that’s your jam.
Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.
THE ENTIRE POINT OF TUMBLR IS REBLOGGING.
Liking does absolutely nothing. There is no algorithm like on IG that will use likes to throw content at people. If you don’t reblog, then no one who doesn’t follow that person (or happen to find it in the tags) will see that post.
Tumblr is supposed to be your bookcase where you show off all of your pretties: the posts you like and the ones that you want to promote to support the other creators in your fandom/community.

It’s a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won’t be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It’s a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It’s a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don’t aim so high that you won’t be hitting anything!
this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks
