isnt it maddening how one day ur 9 and u go to middle school and cub scouts and all the kids are cursing and making dirty jokes and drawing dicks and repeating offensive shit they got from watching south park and family guy on their bedroom tv after their parents have gone to bed (on the same channel that shows kids cartoons during the day) and playing horrifically violent games on newgrounds and a handful of the kids u know have straight up told u they do coke, then next thing u know ur an adult and the ppl around u expect u to act like even the slightest exposure to potentially objectionable content or depictions of the human body will instantly and irreversibly shatter any childs fragile innocent mind

and theyre like "prove to me this wont traumatize my children!" and even the ppl who agree w u go "well u see, in other cultures, and in the ancient past, and if u look at this study-" but like. my source is every child whos ever grown up at any point in human history. open ur eyes. we have never been able to stop kids from seeing and repeating adult stuff and we never will, and its always just been fine

I love the concept of both Grace and Adrian stressing the fuck out about meeting the other for the first time because they know how important the other being is to Rocky and they both love Rocky and want Rocky to be happy and they want it to go well!!!! But what if the other doesn't like them!!!!

They're catastrophizing about it so bad but of course they end up getting along (even if it takes a little time).

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

Imagine that your knowledge of the once-lost Earth is limited to religious stories, legends about the past, rare and hard-to-find texts and images, and one tree you've seen in person... And then you're given access to nature documentaries. Would you choose sleep over watching movies?

Simon rejected sleep.

Simon is afraid that everything will be taken away from him again(((

flowershop au where simon is a florist, and with enviable frequency he sells bouquets to colt — who is handsome and charismatic, of course, but even more crazy about his girlfriend — until one day colt stops coming to the shop

and simon doesn't want to worry about it, but he still can't help but sigh with relief when he returns, only colt now looks different. he's wearing a tattered t-shirt with a pun that makes little sense, and a wool cardigan in plus weather, he's wearing glasses, and his eyes are billions of light-years brighter than ever before, and now he's not buying bouquets for his girlfriend — instead, he's buying plants and succulents "for his students". he's awkward in an unfamiliar way, and much more fun, and simon vaguely wondered if this is the consequences of break up, and thinks about which flowers will make colt smile the most when he inevitably asks him out on a date

except it's not colt. it's grace, and he really buys plants for his classroom, or rather, he bought them the first seven times, until he ran out of space on the windowsill and had to start bringing them to his tiny apartment, arranging them on the floor and kitchen set because he can't think of any other excuse to talk to simon. his brother is recovering from an injury, and it's easier for him when there are small living creatures around him — especially succulents looking exceptionally similar to stones, which he affectionately calls "pebbles" — and he feels a little lonely, so he goes to simon's flower shop almost daily, for plants and the man's smile

until one day, colt returns, and simon is so confused as to why he— he looks like himself, but long before, and he buys flowers for his girlfriend, muttering something about apologizing to her for disappearing for so long, and, uh, you too, buddy, and when he leaves the store, he almost forgets his cane at the cash register, and he doesn't turn around to share a random fact about the plant — the bouquet this time, just like before — that he bought, and what the fuck is happening?

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
