Ramblings from the Bean

Hey everyone! I try to be pretty consistent with my tagging so you can avoid things you don’t want to see. Here are some to look out for:

• “Katie is rambling 2k23” is my random text post tag and will update each new year. If you don’t want to see my thoughts or personal stuff block that.
• “Riddle me this” is what I use for asks I’m answering. Any asks that are rude, invasive, or asking for donation reblogs will be deleted.
• “Family adventures” is what I use when I’m whining about my family especially when I’m around them on holidays.
• “I made this!” And “I made this” are art, crafts, cooking etc that I’ve created
• “Mah Face” is my tag for photos of me, which are pretty rare anymore
• “Music spam time” is when I’m listening to stuff on spotify/pandora and posting it here
• There are a series of tags that I’ll call the “katie X-es” series lol that are things like “Katie knits” “Katie reads” “Katie shiny hunts” Katie plays Pokemon” so if there’s something specific I do often that you aren’t interested in seeing or are avoiding spoilers for you can block those
• If you like the lists I make sometimes those are under their respective game tags and “Katie makes lists”
• I generally try to tag common triggers like racism, body image, disordered eating, addiction talk, gender talk etc

If there’s anything I’m not tagging that you need tagged for trigger or spoilers please let me know!

I block blogs I think are bots, people who post a lot of photos/art/content without credit, and people I just don’t want to interact with for whatever reason. Asks that are rude or invasive will be deleted. If you’re asking something in good faith and would like the message to remain private just say so at the beginning of the ask. Please don’t message me condolences about my mom unless we’ve talked before.

I am so tempted to take an edible today but I really shouldn’t. Being an adult is stupid. Maybe tomorrow night? Or Saturday …

Having someone match your wit or your weirdness without hesitation is actually so fucking comforting and fun.

You will get farther in one week paying close, nonjudgmental attention to the unmet needs underlying your “bad” behavior than you will in a year of punishing yourself and demanding you become a different person. I’m right shut up.

genderqueerdykes:

i feel like if you’re looking for something that has very strict immutable rules that do not budge, you are looking for a group sport, video game, or perhaps a tabletop game, or board game. you are not looking for matters of identity, like gayness, lesbianism, bi/pansexuality, transsexuality, transgenderism, non binaryhood, aromanticism, asexuality, and any other queer identity, for that matter. identity is not rigid, it is not a set of rules, it is a thought cloud of loosely connected concepts, but it is not a set of immutable rules that must be followed religiously or else you’re doing it wrong.

“i’ll get to this when i’m not exhausted” she keeps saying, as if the last time that was true wasn’t several years ago.

Hey. Hey you. The person aimlessly scrolling, stuck in an immobilized standoff with your brain

It’s not your fault. You won’t be stuck forever. I know you’re trying. I know you hate it. It’s ok.

And tell the Mean Voice in your head that it’s not helping. It knows as well as you do that you would get up and Just Start the task if you could. You’re not doing this on purpose.

Take a deep breath. Relax your jaw. I see you trying so hard to break out of it, but you can’t force it. You’ll get Unstuck eventually. All you can do in the interim is be kind to yourself.
