dream myself a thousand times @cinderlily - Tumblr Blog

I still exist.

Anybody out there?

I feel weird, thinking about how I used to spend every moment and second on this site and now I come by every month or so. I really do miss this. I love the communities we grow. Fandom wise I am going through a "Travis Kelce/Patrick Mahomes" phase, so if any human wants to send some recs that would be fabulous.

I am in probably the worst moment of my life. I can't go into details but someone I really truly trusted at one point turned out to be an evil piece of shit and the person I thought was one of my best friends doesn't even see me as a person. I'm like a weird ghost of apparently horribleness. My heart is broken and I want to run away but can't do that.

Teens and early twenties on this app? Cherish not having the heavy shit, or less of it as there wasn't enough time to build it.

Love Actually (2003)

Help, fandom is dead.

Sell me your fandom.

I am out of all my fandoms, or they are dead.

I like like... potential for a lot of angst but not >sad<. Don’t sell me on a series where one of the gay character dies, no thank you. I like slash. Usually Tall Sad, small mad dynamic. I like good details. I will more than willingly read slash as long as it isn’t... like... some... super... shows. I don’t need someone showing me that they think I’m ridiculous.

Will try het or femmeslash but honestly I just prefer slash. I’ve been in a straight relationship, I’m married to a woman. I like the parts I don’t see. (Not like that!)

And like. A vibrant and alive fandom would be FANTASMIC.

Where people above 35 don’t get run off screaming, “OLD PERVERT.”

if I don’t ever meet a cowboy who calls me darlin’ and tenderly puts his hat on my head and offers a respectful hand to help me onto his horse then what the fuck even is the point of it all

cinderlily

Having lived around cowboys for all of high school.... 0/10 Would not recommend. The next sentence out of their mouth is 1/2 the time, "Wear the hat... ride the cowboy" and often smell of chewing tobacco which is unforgivable. Not to like burst your romantic bubble. Also, the rugged quiet type that keep to themselves like in the romance novels... I'd say 1/10 gay as fuck. Which is AWESOME but also, not going to get you what you want. Overall, don't go to Country Thunder expecting this, 15 year old me. It's like the worst choice you'll make. Okay. Maybe top 30.

Clueless (1995) dir. Amy Heckerling

Listen up young ones

As I am old, and have funny memories.

When I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with Annie Lennox. Now, I am 38 (as of the 1st of March, SO SOON!), so if you do the math of her popularity and the age proximity, I don’t fit it. She’s AMAZING and FANTASTIC, but she was not much for the 11 year old crowd when “No More I Love Yous” came out.

But I was weird, and I was OBSESSED with it. Let’s call it my mom’s fault for therapy sake. Now right now I realized I hadn’t listened or watched the video (see how amazing it is below) in a while so I kicked up YouTube and four seconds later I am watching these amazing dancers. (BTW, did you know she didn’t do this video actively as she was like 11 months pregnant? Fun facts!) Anywho. I remembered the first time I saw the video. Guys. I remember sitting with wide eyes just... boggling. At the pure beauty. It ended. I cried.

There was no way I could rewatch it. No TiVo or DVR or YouTube. So my 11 year old bum sat in my front room, cause that is where the VCR was, all night while my family slept, watching Vh1 (it wasn’t cool enough to be on MTV) for something like four hours and recorded every single song and then waited till I had like three and recorded over them (commercial break).

So that is all to say a) I still love this video b) FUCK YEAH FUTURE TIME c) I’m weirder than you knew and d) My birthday is on Tuesday and I’m old.

Things food snobs are wrong about

“Organic” isn’t better for you or for the environment. It actually means nothing of any significance at best and is sometimes even the more wasteful, more hazardous option.

A shitload of “natural” food including a lot of imported produce is grown and harvested through slave labor in inhumane conditions.

Pizza, fried chicken, french fries, fast food, candy bars and chips ARE nutritious. They are loaded with good things. Just because they have an abundance of excess fats and might not be healthy as a staple doesn’t mean they are “nutritionless” or that their calories are “empty.” Those are hokey buzzwords pushed by the people in charge of how much you pay for the alternatives.

Eating healthier costs more. Much more. Looking down on people for their reliance on cheaper food is extremely classist and expecting everyone to be able to live off fresh veggies and cage-free meats is insultingly unrealistic in the modern world.

“Processed” literally only means the food went through some kind of automated process. This can be literally the exact same thing a human being would have done to the food for it to be labeled “unprocessed.” Being processed does not make something less healthy.

Chemicals with long, scary names are part of nature. An apple is full of compounds you probably can’t pronounce. A shorter ingredients label only means they didn’t bother listing all 300 things the product is actually made of and HAS to be made of.

Preservatives, artificial flavors and other additives are not the devil. Most are harmless and in general they are part of the reason you haven’t already starved to death or died of a food borne illness.

MSG is not bad for you at all.

The fact that something might be made of “scrap” meats like pig snouts or chicken necks only means one thing: that we didn’t waste perfectly normal, edible meat.

I DON’T KNOW HOW I FORGOT THIS IN MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS POST BUT GMO’S ARE NOT DANGEROUS TO EAT. GMO’S ARE SAVING LIVES. YOU’VE ALREADY EATEN GMO’S BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW THE TERM. IT’S FINE. EAT THEM.

So I’ve literally done this twice before and so have several other people but here are sources on all of these, most of them fairly recent academic studies or otherwise the most up-to-date I could find:

Organic food isn’t better for you: [1] [2] [3]

Tracing food industry slave labor: [1]

Healthier food is more expensive: [1] [2]

Saturated fats (i.e. “junk food”) still provide needed energy, aren’t as bad as people thought: [1] [2]

“Processed” isn’t synonymous with less healthy, because it means a lot of different things: [1]

“Chemicals” also means a lot of things and many food components are misunderstood by the general public: [1]

MSG is not harmful: [1] [2] [3]

GMO’s are not dangerous to eat: [400 sources collected here]

“Processed” always gets me, it’s like yeah even that delicious homemade salsa you brought to the party is processed - the moment you took a knife to the tomatoes it underwent processing

My family has been in the egg business for nearly 70 years. Listen up. None of it matters. Organic cage free blah blah blah blah. Nada. It costs 5 more and means NOTHING.
