love those old soviet posters that are just advertising like, an activity. not some “go to mike’s hardware for the BEST deals around!” just “hey, you can learn stuff at libraries” or “consider going for a hike in the countryside” big kin
I’d love some examples!!
Caring for birds will increase your fruit harvest!
What are you interested in? The library has many books to match your interests.
Tourism is the best relaxation!
Vitamin C. Vitamins help you to become healthy and strong
Fresh air strengthens health and improves quality of education! (Soviet classroom design, from my personal experience, includes big windows that let in a lot of air and sunshine)
The ONLY good advertisements
Yeah well when you’re starving you don’t much creativity.
True I suppose, I guess that’s why capitalism doesn’t produce creative posters like these, because so many are starving? Certainly could be one factor
the CIA and FBI are the other two factors actually
Last year, I decided to start a new tradition: a book tree instead ir a real Christmas tree. So, this year I wanted to go further and proved letting a hole on the back side, hoping it wouldn’t fall before I finished it, and it didn’t!
Here are the pics. Almost broke my iPad trying to take a good one hahaha
my favorite era in history is the one where people discovered you could make cartoons out of typography and newspapers would run articles that were just like “today dennis the intern figured out how to draw a dog with the typewriter so here it is”
1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.
2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.
3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. You’ve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didn’t want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.
4. Make lists of things you’re good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list we’re that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.
5. Don’t beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. It’s counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,“We don’t talk to ourselves like that anymore. What’s something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.”
Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.
