the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

someone convince me that downloading PDFs is not actually the same thing as working on my dissertation

[grison-in-space]

I just came out here to have a good time

[mxworthing]

"A student [downloads] hundreds of pages of [PDFs] and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the impression that he possesses the work. Owning the [PDFs] exempts the student from actually reading them. This sort of vertigo of accumulation, a neocapitalism of information, happens to many."

indeed it does Umberto Eco 😔

I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

#if you line up several neuroses and identify the interlocking connections between them they should all vanish like clearing a line in tetris (via @karliahs)

the honeymoon phase dying is a lie straight people started to console each other over never finding partners who actually like them.

[gatheringbones]

I’ve been with my butch seven years, she’s turned into eight or nine different versions of herself at least and there’s been a new honeymoon period with each one every time, she’s constantly becoming someone new and interesting who ought out to be wooed and teased and ardently courted, I wake up every morning bowled over with delight that she’s still here and still alive and still tickled pink by the bare fact of my existence, I did not spend nearly thirty loveless touchstarved debilitating years in the wasteland to take any of this for granted now
