not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
what mutual is prev
my liege lord
my loyal knight
my wise wizard
my evil advisor
my brother in arms
my lady muse
my wild mermaid friend
my fellow alchemist
my dashing rapscallion
my monstrous foe
the human body is an engineering marvel. I sneeze in bright light. if I dont get enough sunlight on my skin I get tired and sad and have to drink a lot of milk to fix it. standing too much hurts, but sitting too much also hurts. if I get a virus, my body will increase its temperature in an attempt to cook it, which also cooks my brain cells. toenails exist. I have to turn the radio down to see better when I drive. there are 17 genes dictating what my hair texture is, but it completely changes when the air is too humid. yawning is contagious. there are more species of bacteria living in my body than there are species of birds in the entire world. every few months I grievously injure my neck by "sleeping on it weird." it took seven million years of human evolution to form me, and now I'm afraid of phone calls.
TRAGIC: man who can only communicate via references and tropes falls in love with man only vaguely aware that media exists
the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
Martina McBride didn't win Country Music Association Song of the Year for a song about how burning your house down with your abusive husband still inside it is good, noble, and an allegory for the American Revolution for people to act like the genre belongs to bootlicking fucks
other things people didn't do for you to act like country music belongs to bootlicking fucks:
Garth Brooks winning video of the year at the ACMs for a song about how none of us are free as long as there's racism and homophobia
Reba McEntire charting with a gothic horror song about an innocent man being executed by an incompetent judge and a corrupt sheriff
Willie Nelson being, well, his entire self tbh
Dolly Parton recording the hating capitalism banger of all time
Kacey Musgraves telling everyone to ignore the haters, smoke weed, and be a bisexual slut
how the hell did I leave Morgan Wade off this list. wrote a song about being depressed, alcoholic, and suicidal and how mental illness stigma sucks, saw how much people connected with it, wrote a Part II of that song about how she's doing better now but you're never totally free of the risk of relapse. fucking icon.
I specifically curated this list so people couldn't be like "ah yes but you see here is my simple binary of good and bad country music which always works", I made sure to add different genders, eras, subgenres, etc and y'all are still pulling that shit in the tags!
listen. Alan Jackson, the archetypal mister big hat man sitting on a tractor singing about a pickup truck, wrote a shockingly normal song about 9/11 that was like "yeah I don't know jack shit about politics but my copy of the bible says we're supposed to love everyone" and then went on the radio and explained how he specifically wanted to write a song about that day that "wasn't vengeful". Miranda Lambert took the southern leftist slogan "y'all means all" and made it the title of a corny ass pop-country song for the Queer Eye soundtrack. Kenny Chesney stole a horse from a cop and Tim McGraw put the cop in a chokehold defending him, and I know that's not about their music but it is, and this is very important, fucking sick as hell
it's fine if you only listen to female country artists or pre-1990 country artists or whatever the fuck you want but stop acting like you've cracked the secret code to dividing a whole genre of art into good pure anti-establishment folk songs vs bad corrupted right-wing sellout pulp
updating this post for 2025:
Luke Combs covering Fast Car and keeping the line "I work in the market as a checkout girl" and doing an interview about how he couldn't change a single word because it's not his story. king shit
Morgan Wallen doing I Had Some Help, literally the first song that spoke to me as a male survivor of domestic abuse. also shoutout to the guy for getting caught saying a racial slur and responding by specifically telling his fans not to defend him and raising a bunch of money for the Black Music Action Coalition. bro had an engraved invitation to the culture war and said "nah I'd rather be normal"
Shaboozey just absolutely obliterating the drunk roadhouse anthem glass ceiling
Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne with a song that okay, released in 2019 but I didn't hear until recently, about how good friends mind their own business and let you love whoever you want and also get high with you when you're broke
Kimberley Perry! If I Die Young Part 2!! "actually I'm glad I lived, bitch" ass song that I bet is gonna mean a LOT to kids fighting depression
Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan with Cowboys Cry Too. okay it's shallow and corny but genuinely a shallow and corny song about how men shouldn't be afraid to have feelings is what a lot of men need
bringing the full version of this post back around because people are pissing me off today
Imagine being one of the parents for the kids in the Magic School Bus class. Getting those field trip permission slips home every single night.
Like what, another one? Doesn’t she teach? This just says Inside a Dog
I will probably get through this just like I have gotten through everything before but I need to be really stressed and scared first

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
the vivid sensory-memory of sucking water out of a washcloth as a child
Let's talk acne!
Salicylic acid is great for sudden, short-term acne break outs, but will actually cause more acne if used long-term because its a chemical exfoliant that eats away at your skin barrier over time, letting in MORE acne-causing bacteria, dust, and dirt. Reach for salicylic acid if you have occasional break outs due to stress or sudden environmental changes, but not if you have chronic acne that needs long-term treatment.
Witch hazel is great for long-term acne treatment on your body for non-sensitive skin, but not on your face. Only use witch hazel on your face if you are only going to do it short-term. And do not use witch hazel if your skin is sensitive or you have a skin condition. It's a very astringent ingredient, so its normal to feel slight discomfort when you first start using it. If its painful though, wash off and discontinue use.
If you want an ingredient with a similar strength to witch hazel that you can use regularly on your face, look at tea tree oil cleansers. These are also good if you have facial hair to get rid of the oil build up that facial hair can fester
Benzoyl peroxide is a fantastic spot treatment and if you have bacterial acne, a godsend. Benzoyl peroxide is what I recommended the most for acne when I worked in skincare. Good for all skin types, and effective against every type of acne except cystic and fungal. When in doubt, always choose benzoyl peroxide-senpai <3
If you have fungal acne, it will be stubbornly resistant to basically every OTC acne treatment because almost EVERY OTC acne treatment is for bacterial or hormonal acne. To tell this type apart, it can look a lot like cystic acne, with chronic break outs that last for years and never seem to subside or move from where they are. But fungal acne isn't painful like cystic acne is: it's itchy and it likes to break open and bleed without you even noticing it until you take off your white shirt and theres blood spots on it. But luckily you are not without hope if you can't get a dermatologist: you need to pick up a bar of sulfur soap to wash the area with instead of regular bar soap, and a tube of athlete's foot cream. Sulfur kills most fungi species and the cream will act as an anti-fungal moisturizer. Fungal acne is the one of the most stubborn and long-term types of acne (ask me how I know!!) so you HAVE to keep at it, consistently, every day. But you will see improvement over time, even if its a lot longer than other types of acne
Cystic acne often means you need a doctor. I know that's easier said than done for a lot of people, but OTC skincare can do very little to quell cystic acne long-term. Medication is the most effective treatment for cystic acne, and I am not qualified to give medical advice.
With all types of chronic acne, especially if it's body acne, you can help treatment along if you wear clean clothes made of breathable fabrics like 100% cotton, you shower daily especially if you're outside sweating in the summer heat or you work a job with lots of physical activity, and you clean and change your bedsheets on a regular basis. Shower and change after your main activity of the day so that you sleep with a clean body in clean clothes too, because nothing is worse for chronic acne than having sweat and dirt build up, and then going to sleep with it still on your skin. You'll feel better about yourself as well if you look after your personal hygiene and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and clean, and you need and deserve that feeling when chronic acne can make you feel self-conscious.
"pervert" is the new "feral" of tumblr it means nothing anymore. google pervert inflation for more information
i miss when subscriptions didnt really exist and you could just pay one time to buy an app or some software, and then just.. have it. without ads. without recurring costs. without more paywalls. it was just yours forever.
honestly imagine. You learn that one of your friends is gonna sell you out to the cops, so you gather them all for a dinner and say to their faces “one of you is going to betray me, and you know who you are.” Jesus was kinda catty tbh
fuuuuck i forgot to give a shit about stupid bullshit that doesnt matter 🤦♀️
