Is this real?! It’s not tagged with anything! :(

Yea these are real, its a Lightning storm crossing paths with the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull’s eruption column. 

Here’s a link to the National Geographic Article

Nature is freaking metal

Iceland?

You start to realize why a god of storms & thunder featured so heavily in Norse myth

Never not cool seeing these.

Weather is awesome.

Even if I wasn’t already heathen, I think I’d look at that and go “… Thor?”

OCD is something one has, not something one “is,” and most people who say, “I’m so OCD” do not have OCD and could use a thesaurus and some sensitivity training.

Here at UfYH HQ, we don’t use “OCD” as shorthand or a humorous description for personality quirks or behaviors. It’s a legitimate…

Fuck yes this.

ooooooooh

Hnnnnnnnggggggg

Hngggggg I like this very much

No…you don’t just do things like this.

someone might get HUUUUUURGH!

You know what? I love this picture. I loved it so much, I decided to look for the original. I discovered that the above is an edit - a pretty big edit - of the original. Aaaaargh!!!! I mean, the original artist even went so far as to put Panic in it and everything!

*grumble grumble*

Still, it’s bad enough when it’s reblogged without a source. I know not everyone knows how to find sources. But the original poster, who edited it heavily? That - no, that’s just WRONG.

So, please enjoy the original! Let the artist know on deviantArt, too!

unless youre dying by ~autopsygirl

I mean, look at Panic’s liddle FACE! 

ugh who does that seriously? the original looks awesome..

For what it’s worth, I think that’s the original artist’s own WIP post: Megara WIP

“The first step is admitting you have a problem. I did and the result is a line obsessively crafted from the finest ingredients possible, to celebrate the driving compulsions of makeup fanatics everywhere.” – David Klasfeld

This playlist started as an exercise in finding completely expected songs to represent the completely dumb, clichéd narratives about OCD that circulate in blogs, image macros, news stories, sitcoms, movies, and other mass/popular texts. The first tracks I put on the mix, in this spirit, were “Check On It” and “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.” I credited David Klasfeld with providing this inspiration as I cackled stupidly to myself and told my friends that I was making a hilarious playlist about OCD. 

I resisted – but only barely – putting t.A.T.u.’s “All the Things She Said” on here.

But then the playlist morphed into a collection of upbeat songs about meds, intrusive thoughts, obsessions, rituals, and coping with magical thinking. Or sometimes not coping with magical thinking. Rituals can get comfortable.

OCD is a big category, and the diagnosis can encompass a lot of different symptoms. These tracks speak to my own rituals and compulsions, and to those I’ve observed in friends who self-identify as OCD. This mix probably won’t reflect everyone’s experience with the disorder. 

I wish this playlist was more unexpected, or full of songs people hadn’t yet heard. Perhaps it’s fitting that this playlist about clichés is so full of Top 40s music (“SOS”) and classic songs (“Do You Wanna Touch”). You’re probably familiar with a lot of this stuff. Maybe the most important tracks here are “I Wanna Be Sedated” and “Mean” (especially “Mean” because other people with OCD have told me that their brain is mean and related the song to the oft-cited OCD Bully).

I welcome any analysis that can unpack why a lot of these songs refigure OCD as a romantic relationship gone bad.

Here are some tunes to listen to while you ritualize, when you get caught in an obsessive feedback loop, and after yet another person tells you how lucky you are to have OCD because it probably means cleaning is really fun for you. Here’s some music for your stupid brain, for those days when you think your disorder actually does some good stuff for you (because it happens sometimes), for all your little chemical glitches.

[Trigger warning for mentions of abuse.]

This child was one of many diagnosed with autism. He had (and still has) a real passion for animals, and likes to read all about them.

Do you want to know what this child needed?

Acceptance, not awareness. Compassion, not a cure.

He didn’t need therapy to make him act more like  his peers, he needed peers who were taught not to be bullies about those who were different.

He needed teachers who understood that there were different ways of learning, and that needing extra tools isn’t being lazy.

He needed a school system that wasn’t so underfunded they couldn’t afford to offer him help in the classroom.

He needed doctors who could explain to his parents what autism meant, and what kind of affects it could have, not saying he was “high functioning” so they didn’t need to worry.

He didn’t need functioning labels.

He needed his therapists and counselors to understand the ties between autism and abuse, and help him understand that some of the things going on at home were not okay, and that being afraid of family members wasn’t normal.

He needed the resources to understand and be warned about people who might be interested in “fixing” him-when there wasn’t a fix, and these people might do more harm than good, and they should be avoided.

He needed to be told that it was okay for him to exist-that his mind was different, but not broken. That he was still a person.

He needed to see reflections of himself in media and in stories, and not just inspirational stories-stories of everyday people, stories that showed he was just as much as a person as everyone else.

He needed people to accept him as a person. Autism and all. Because his autism wasn’t just a little bit extra, it had effects on his life.

He needed an end to the idea that his disability was something to be shunted aside, and acceptance for all the parts of him, so he could grow.

I know because that kid was me.

Growing up wasn’t easy, it was damn hard.

So please, instead of seeking to make people aware of autism, seek acceptance for autistic people. People are ware of us already. The proof is in the words and actions they use. It’s time they start accepting us as people.
