The new #PaperTowns trailer debuts in three days during the Pretty Little Liars premiere!
This is kind of mesmerizing. And at first, I thought John was holding a glass of milk, and I was like, “Why is John waving a container of milk?”
Hi there, Anon! So sorry you’ve been having a hard time. Have you seen the Gregory Brothers version of “First Kiss Today”? This has nothing to do with anxiety but everything to do with finding something to make you smile. :]
I’ve gotten so much better the six weeks, but the beginning of 2015 was a high-water mark for me in terms of my number of panic attacks. It had to do with a lot of different things, most notably an episode of “antidepressant poop-out” and consequently starting a new medication. The worst attack happened when I was traveling by myself and trying to make a short connection in the Detroit airport. The onset was immediate and apocalyptic. Picture a thirty-year-old nerd-man plopping down in the middle of the waxed terminal floor, eyes greasy, skin cold. I tried to find a nurse’s station but couldn’t. So I willed the pieces of myself together and went to get a bagel, but the Einstein’s employees were screaming at each other, and one of them got furious at a customer for something and hurled a bagel at the floor and quit their job on the spot. I went onto the plane, my vision shrinking down to a pinhole, which always reminds me of when I was a kid and would unscrew the black barrel of my air pistol and stare down it like a telescope. I told the flight attendant I had a stomach-related emergency, hustled to the bathroom, and let the metallic-tasting waves of panic crash through my system for exactly two minutes. Then I deep-breathed for two minutes. Then I went back to my seat and the rest of the day was pretty good.
Anyway, all of this to say, I can truly relate to what you’ve been experiencing. But even though depression and anxiety (mostly depression) are parts of my life, they do not form the definition of me, and they need not form the definition of you.
There are lots and lots of fantastic, free resources out there, several of which I utilized myself when I had no mental health coverage. I talk about many of them in my favorite How to Adult video, “What if Depression Followed You Online?” There’s also additional information in the video’s description.
I truly hope this helps, Anon! And if any lovely Tumblr Buddies out there have suggestions, please pass them along. Take care of yourself. You’ve got this.

a scene that really bothers me in HBP is when Ginny feeds Harry that pie thing and she is like “don’t you trust me?” and then just feeds it to him all nicely
because I honestly believe that book!Ginny would have said “don’t you trust me?” and then she would proceed to shove the pie in his face and then say “your mistake!” and just like run away laughing her head off and Harry would just be sitting there with pie stuck to his face and a small grin thinking ‘wow this girl is perfect’
forgive me
Taylor Swift is already that grandparent who just hands you money and says don’t tell you folks and I think that’s beautiful

my neighbourhood has never had an ice cream truck. in the summer, we have the knife sharpening truck. it slowly circles the block and rings its ominous bell. i have never seen someone interact with it. it may be that only those marked by death can see it
alex??? this is truly frightening ??
i never really thought about it much until today but you’re right this is honestly a messed up thing for me to be accustomed to
Do you know how many sit downs I got at the label about that? A lot of me making this album was me going in the studio, making something I loved, and showing it to the label and getting a principle’s-office discussion. Like, “Young lady, you know you’re not going to sell as many albums if you’re not labeled as country.” I wasn’t kicking and screaming, but I was very firm about the fact that to call this album a country album would be the biggest mistake. Because when you’re trying to fool people, you insinuating that you think they’re stupid. And insinuating that people aren’t going to see through your transparent motives is the one worst mistake you can make as an artist who is supposed to respect their fans. That was my argument. I got really, really lectured about not putting my name on the title on the front of the album cover―that was fun. And then it was suggested to me that we use a different picture for the album cover because, they kept saying, “We need eyes, lips, hair on an album cover. You know no one’s going to know who that is.” And I was like, “That’s the point. We’re starting over.” Also, the reason I didn’t put my face on the album cover is because I didn’t want people to fully diagnose the emotional DNA of this album before it came out. If I’m smiling, it’s a happy record; if I’m frowning, it’s a sad record. I wanted people to be able to detect no emotion on my face. It was just taken on this ‘80s Polaroid camera that I have. I knew that I was doing something that I fully believed in when I was confronted with these people on my team, who were only going by what they knew―which is that there hasn’t been a successful country-to-pop crossover, really ever, who has sold as well as their country career did. They’d say “You’re not going to sell as much.“ and I would say, “I don’t care. This is the album I made, this is what I’m going to call it, this is how I’m going to label it.” I knew that I’d made songs that my fans would like; I was like, “You guys don’t know them like I do. You sit in an office, I’m out there at shows with them, I’m on tumblr talking to them, I know what they want from me.” Thank God it worked out. If we’d sold one album less than a million in the first week, it would have been two years of “Taylor, we told you.” So glad we sold almost 1.3 [million] in the first week.

One of my favourite twitter trending topics I’ve seen in a while: #GirlsWithToys.
This came as a response to an Astronomer’s remarks that Scientists are ‘boys with toys’.
Glad to see such a strong response from the women of STEM. 🙂
