fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

So my dad likes to have frozen fruit in guava juice as a snack and I finally had some last night and bro….I can’t stop eating it I’m mad he was onto something…..
you know what’s going on with lil nas x is persecution, right. it’s not “just” internet trolling—he’s only 21 and being targeted by SITTING SENATORS for his art. this is textbook persecution, complete with the coalescing of religion and political power, and the fact that he can fire off meme-y one liners doesn’t change that! fucking hell! it horrifies me how this is being played off for laughs, even by leftists and “we are the daughters of witches you couldn’t burn” crowd. it’s terrifying and the actual, bodily threat to him is VERY REAL regardless of how funny his responses are.
I’m not Black so I didn’t think it was appropriate of me to talk about his Blackness but dear GOD the disparity between lil nas x’s vulnerability and openness about his sexuality in his art and public appearance, and the amount of backlash and discrimination he’s suffered for it vs the amount of public recognition and institutional support he’s gotten as compared to harry styles who put on a fucking skirt and got hailed as the King Of The Gays™ is so blatantly racist.
“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
the reason I bring up those posts is because every time I saw one I felt less and less bad about not brushing them and when my teeth actually started causing problems it made my MH worse because I was having horrible anxiety about my teeth getting worse and now I’m facing procedures that will probably be pretty painful and will definitely be expensive so I kinda got some beef with the anti-recovery culture on this site
colgate makes some pretty cool little waterless disposable toothbrushes that are good to keep beside your bed or somewhere else accessible for days when brushing your teeth feels like a monumental task. they’re like $5 for a pack of 24 on amazon and i know they’re available at drug stores as well. they look like this.
i have pretty intense depressive episodes + emetophobia that is sometimes triggered by brushing my teeth so i get that it can be difficult but the OP of this post is right. dental health is really important and even using a disposable toothbrush is better than nothing!
my addition to this: if you have sensory issues and minty toothpaste or toothpaste texture causes problems try watermelon gel toothpaste!! kids colgate watermelon has a gel texture that is so much better and a better flavor than mint that doesn’t make me nauseous. it looks like this! also use products that make you happy don’t worry about judgment if a children’s toothbrush or a singing toothbrush is more fun and makes you more motivated, do it!
Can vouch for watermelon toothpaste, I’ve been using it since I was like 5… 10/10 doesn’t taste bad, doesn’t make your mouth burn like lots of other toothpastes do (you know what I’m talking about), and the texture is smooth too
