Quote of the day

i have never seen a single 'pirates of the caribbean' film so my friend insisted that i watch the first one with her and i'm obsessed.

the villain’s origin story is that he can’t eat apples anymore. every fight scene plays like a slapstick comedy. two key combat sequences end with our sexy leading men getting boinked on the head. the climax is initiated by one ship firing forks at another ship. everyone is unreasonably hot. plot armor made only of the word “parlay”. the Redcoats are more useless than you could possibly imagine. Elizabeth almost drowns, gets held hostage, and then her entire village is destroyed but the worst part of her day is that a man proposed to her. a crew of skeleton pirates do drag to trojan horse their way into the final battle. truly insane stuff can't wait for more.

thinking about when my friend found a book from the 70s in a church office with truly some of the most insane prayers I have ever heard

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

underrated tumblr feature is being able to catch up to yourself on your dash. so there is an END POINT. and you can say “ah, I have reached where I left off, there is no more to see! I’ll take my leave now and come back later when there are new posts.” instead of being stuck forever in a bottomless algorithm pit digging deeper and deeper till you have to summon monumental strength to climb out

so back when my little brother was in high school, my mom went as a chaperone for their senior year field trip to an amusement park. which, you know, brave move to volunteer to supervise a bunch of high school seniors let loose in a wonderland of rollercoasters and sugar

my brother and his friends in this field trip group were truly great kids. but they were not above run of the mill teenage boy shenanigans. it’s the end of senior year, you and all your buddies are at the amusement park, you’re naturally going to want to act like a complete moron

there was one kid in the group who was especially prone to goofing around. committed to the bit, some may say. my mom knew that if nonsense was going to break out, he’d likely be at the center of it

so she goes up to this kid at the very start of the trip and says “hey, i’m kinda worried about this chaperoning thing. this might be a lot to ask, but can you help me keep an eye on everyone? you wouldn’t have to do anything big, just be an extra set of eyes for me.”

friends, this kid proceeded to run their field trip group like the fucking us marines. everyone is at the meet up spots at the designated time. everyone waits in line for the rides like a bunch of boy scouts. the second the horseplay gets too out of hand, this kid is getting it back under control

it’s incredible how differently people act based on the expectations you set. instead of going to this kid and saying “hey, i know you’re trouble, so i’ve got my eye on you,” my mom went “hey, i know you have influence in your peer group, so i think you can help me.”

treat someone like a problem, they’ll act like a problem. but give people a chance to help, make them feel important, and they usually rise far above the occasion. it was a stroke of genius that i’m honestly still in awe of

you may not think I’m brave but every day I have to see people disregard all of Susan Pevensie’s complexity in favor of “Aslan was just not a girl’s girl I fear 💅🏻✨” “Lewis was a misogynist” “it’s religious propaganda” and I am being so resilient about it … like I am genuinely begging you people to have a modicum of analytical integrity … have you never wrestled with a once-held belief? have you never struggled to find the balance between your autonomy and your connection to your family? have you never made a mistake in your priorities? have you never wanted to hurry up and grow up and perhaps lost a part of yourself in the process?

that’s what Susan is

but no, we have to invent the most uninspired, surface level take on her story possible and peddle that as the big takeaway of a book series that hardly ever gives you such an on-the-nose “moral”

”there’s no glory in suffering” and “sometimes the effort is the point” are two ideas that co-exist but god damn if I can ever tell when’s the time for which

what's interesting about miracles in the bible is that they always involve a leap of faith. when jesus feeds the 5000 he tells the disciples to go and hand out bread; to the disciples at that point it probably feels silly, since they've seen the rations they actually have... but they go and start handing out bread. and the bread just doesn't run out. when jesus tells peter to throw the fishing net out again, once again, it seems foolish since peter was there all night and didn't catch a single fish. but he does it, and that's when the miracle happens. in the old testament when elijah goes to stay with the widow of zarephath and asks for bread, the widow tells him she has nothing but a handful of flour and a lick of oil, and yet elijah asks her to make bread for him first instead of for herself and her son; it's an impossible situation, but the widow ends up trusting him and lo and behold, the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry. when god tells moses to throw his staff onto the ground, moses has no idea why or what it's supposed to do, but then it turns into a serpent. in all these stories the people had to act first before the miracles happened. they had to take a leap of faith. they had to do their part, which was to trust the lord.

there’s a post on tumblr about like. if you could do something to bring people a little relief, why wouldn’t you do it? which has unironically informed my practice as a nursing student and patient care tech

i’m glad no one made any unpleasant comments on this post that might distract from the message because that would really suck
