Rachel, 30, bad at remembering to update my tumblr bio. she/her/hers and ace

[exai]

i no longer respect the hustle i want universal basic income and dignity for everyone

[parabins]

tumblr isn’t considered a social media because everyone on here is just talking to themselves

[parabins]

yeah i agree

[afloweroutofstone]

I definitely still have some level of distaste for astrology, true crime paranoia, etc., but I think my negative feelings towards this bundle of woman-coded vices has declined as I've grown more familiar with the modern era of men-coded vices. It is harder to focus on the irrationalist nature of tarot or the abundance of low-quality smut appearing on book store shelves recently when some of the big trends among Dudes online seem to be betting your life savings on sports, becoming more conservative than your grandfather, hitting yourself with a hammer to look hotter, and eating so much raw red meat that you invent new diseases

you’ll be fine. you made it out of impossible situations before and you will do it again

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

Me watching this:

[marisatomay]

at the risk of being cringe with everything going on — this week, the last six months, the past five years — i keep thinking about that one quote from the great gatsby

[marisatomay]

“they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

[marisatomay]

it’s just every day now, huh.

“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit

ya got

gochujang butter noodles

peanut butter noodles

chili crisp fettuccine alfredo

miso butter noodles

any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.

[overlyemotionalbreakfastcereal]

so i just made the peanut butter noodles and they are VERY simple and VERY tasty

i added extra parmesan because i like cheese and topped with some chili oil and green onion

took less than 20 minutes!

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

What a highly specific and devastating word

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why doesn't English have that word it describes teenagerhood perfectly

[borgevino]

[hellish-undeath]
