I wish there were a succinct and concise way to be like “I am so over callout culture and identity politics and ally one-upmanship ughhhh shut up but also don’t say ‘retard’ around me are you KIDDING?!”
are cigarettes and coffee a cool indie teenager thing because they make you poop more? is that what teens like? pooping?
Jessica Lloyd-Jones - Anatomical Neon, 2010
Blown glass human organs encapsulate inert gases displaying different colours under the influence of an electric current. The human anatomy is a complex, biological system in which energy plays a vital role. Brain Wave conveys neurological processing activity as a kinetic and sensory, physical phenomena through its display of moving electric plasma. Optic Nerve shows a similar effect, more akin to the blood vessels of the eye and with a front ‘lens’ magnifiying the movement and the intensity of light. Heart is a representation of the human heart illuminated by still red neon gas. Electric Lungs is a more technically intricate structure with xenon gas spreading through its passage ways, communicating our human unawareness of the trace gases we inhale in our breathable atmosphere.
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE ART AND PRETTY COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Good” and “bad” feelings
“A lot happens in one day, both negative and positive. If we do not take time to appreciate both, perhaps we will miss something that will help us grow.”
IP No. 8, Just for Today
––––=––––
Most of us seem to unconsciously judge what happens in our lives each day as good or bad, success or failure. We tend to feel happy about the “good” and angry, frustrated, or guilty about the “bad.” Good and bad feelings, though, often have little to do with what’s truly good or bad for us. We may learn more from our failures than our successes, especially if failure has come from taking a risk.
Attaching value judgments to our emotional reactions ties us to our old ways of thinking. We can change the way we think about the incidents of everyday life, viewing them as opportunities for growth, not as good or bad. We can search for lessons rather than assigning value. When we do this, we learn something from each day. Our daily Tenth Step is an excellent tool for evaluating the day’s events and learning from both success and failure.

Just for today: I am offered an opportunity to apply the principles of recovery so that I will learn and grow. When I learn from life’s events, I succeed.
I have become the kind of person who has to automatically reblog this. Not because I am currently sad with a hard-on. But because there are roses and odd combinations of pastel and neon colors and retro fonts saying something edgy and a bit dirty and I am a fucking hipster or something.
Fear of Failure
OH MY GOD
“YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE, FROM
“‘THE FEAR’
“YOUR IMAGINATION presents ‘THE FEAR’ starring I CAN’T DO IT co-starring URGH THIS SUCKS and JUST GIVE UP directed by YOUR BRAIN now in glorious TECHNICOLOR IN THEATERS EVERYWHERE”
things to remember
Zoe I am gonna tape this to your face. Or maybe print it on a t-shirt for your dachshund so you will read this every time he jumps in your lap.
Is it just me or does saying “no pressure” automatically make people feel hella pressured?
