By the river
Please take a comforting realistic affirmation and pass it on (again. This time for a week :] )
You are doing what you can. It is enough.
It has been okay before, It will be okay again.
You don’t have to love yourself. First, you just have to not hate yourself.
You’re special because you’re the only you, not the only one feeling this.
Know that you can’t save everyone. Remember that you can try.
This too shall pass.
You are capable of so much more than you think.
You are not a failure. No matter what.
Treating yourself with kindness is harder than it sounds. But don’t give up.
You’re doing so well. I’m so proud of you.*
*it may not seem like I can be, but seeing that someone needed to hear it and so they let me say it makes me so so proud. It’s a bit of an oroboros but we’re ignoring that. <3
i can’t believe tamsyn muir fucking said this. i can’t believe how right she is. i want to take her out for tacos and have an emotional affair with her that ruins me for all other dinner partners.
reminding myself there are no truly “bad days”, because every single day, someone somewhere in the world has taken a photo of an extremely tiny animal and shown it to someone else, and that’s very good actually
look at this absolutely fucking MINISCULE rabbit. i am sharing it with you. i hope it improves your day

is this true??
Does anyone have an update on where things are at with the writers strike? It’s disappeared from my various feeds and algorithms.
The writers’ strike is ongoing and the studios are still not returning to the negotiating table. Unfortunately a lot of the coverage has tapered off because we’re on 50+ days of striking and it’s not new anymore. The last strike in 2007 lasted 100 days, so don’t be surprised if this strike lasts as long, or even longer.
The biggest recent news is that the Directors’ Guild of America (DGA) voted to ratify their new agreement with the studios (article from June 23), and it appears likely that the actors’ guild (SAG-AFTRA) will also take a deal instead of striking (article from June 24). Although this is disappointing news, it’s completely expected. During previous strikes, the WGA held its own without other unions going on strike. Which is to say—don’t be disheartened by the news that there won’t be a triple strike. The WGA is strong enough!
Please keep vocally supporting the WGA online to keep the pressure on the studios & to keep WGA members motivated and encouraged! There are many ongoing donation drives, such as the Star Trek fan snack squad (Twitter account required to DM the organizer) and the Our Flag Means Death snack squad (opens the PayPal fundraising page—no Twitter required). There’s a longer list of ongoing donation drives here.
The Entertainment Community Fund is also always accepting donations to support entertainment workers affected by the strike. Please boost and encourage your friends to keep supporting the strike. Hashtag #IStandWithTheWGA #DoTheWriteThing to boost the cause!
