woman in STEM alert: in my experiment of scrolling through my Tumblr dashboard for the first time since august(?), I have observed my heart rate increasing! time to log off!

[edgebug]

hey so remember how your boyfriend was so soaking wet and shivering that i put him in the dryer? well he got caught in the lint trap. yeah i can't get him out. sorry

[blithesylph]

woah! scrolling through the dashboard for the first time in A While and this is fucking weird! why are people specifically making posts to argue points? who are you talking to? why are people trying to educate themselves on a social media platform? what is this strange place we call social media? 

[blithesylph]

having been off of this site and a lot of other social media for the past several months, rereading the way I wrote some of my posts is a little weird! who talks like that? seriously? who?

[blithesylph]

I love the carpenters no other music group can be so cheesy while making you want to kill yourself

[blithesylph]

tell me why every romance novel has to have a blurb from Ali Hazelwood on the cover! why??? I hate that woman!

returning from the dead to say that if I have to read one more fucking love poem about citrus fruits I'm going to commit a felony

 i keep thinking about the tweet that’s like matt smith is great for the got series because he is handsome but in a way where you can’t rule out inbreeding

[laureninlilly]

So my Dad and brother took separate cars to dinner tonight, and this happened.

[bowlingforwhoop]

they look like they are arguing about who is going to go home and change

[laureninlilly]

Oh, they were.

Jake: You’ve got to be kidding me Dad: You SAW me walk through the kitchen on my way to pick up your sister! Jake: No seriously do you have an extra shirt in your car this is ridiculous

[laureninlilly]

Oh my god they’re gonna kill me they didn’t want to even walk into the restaurant together let alone have this many people reblog this photo

[laureninlilly]

Honestly I’m not deleting my Tumblr solely in the hopes that this post one day hits 1 million notes

[hst3000]

Good news!

[blithesylph]

you know that slate advice column how to do it? seems like every single response includes 'maybe try opening things up' like at some point suggesting polyamory sounds like the laziest possible advice

[blithesylph]

i can’t do this anymore i’m deleting instagram AND tumblr wish me luck girlbloggers au revoir

[punkrorschach]

i’m glad he’s fine so i can laugh at this. one of the absolute sentences of all time.
