Can I just say that I greatly appreciate how all the Christians of Tumblr have coagulated into one big group (despite being vastly outnumbered on the site) and at this point even have enough cohesion to achieve relative notoriety and nobody else on the site knows what to do with us

I didn’t even mean to find Christian tumblr (honestly, I was surprised there was a Christian tumblr, with what I knew about it). I just stumbled upon it and went “My people!!!”

men would rather get a tattoo they don't know the meaning of to guarantee they're on the list of their childhood frenemy's killer list than go to therapy

Things Duke Crocker didn't deserve:

-All of that™️

Things Duke Crocker did deserve:

-Happiness, understanding, forgiveness, a hug, people who would actually communicate with him, living, icecream, nice things

[miss-holloways]

No one will ever be as dramatic as Nathan "I'm really mad at Duke so I'm gonna get the tattoo I know his future killer has just so he knows I'm on the list of potential killers" Wuornos. Like. Goddamn bro.

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

just so everybody's clear: duke crocker is the most selfless person ever and none of them deserve him

Hello I’m back on my bullshit

[warrioreowynofrohan]

Reading LM Montgomery has got me thinking that in some ways we’ve gotten more restrictive about what a “normal” family structure is. It’s not at all uncommon in her books to have households and families made up of groups rather than a couple and/or children. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are brother and sister. Rosemary and Ellen West are sisters. Marilla Cuthbert and Rachel Lynde are friends who move in together. Aunt Elizabeth, Aunt Laura, and Emily all live together at New Moon well into Emily’s adulthood and career as an author.

Now, a lot of this is related to the restrictions that women did face in terms of career options and social respectability. Living alone and being self-supporting is a much more common option for women now than it was in the late 1800s/early 1900s, and that’s a very good thing. I think singleness and living alone has become more normalized than it was then for both men and women (modern appliances probably helped with that shift!).

But the flip side is that living with adults other than your spouse – siblings, or other relatives, or friends – on a long-term basis was treated as much more normal then than it is now! Now it’s taken for granted that if you’re single and without kids, you’ll live alone if economically capable of doing do. And I feel like that could he contributing to increases in loneliness. For most of human history, in most societies, I have the impression that it wasn’t typical for single people to live alone. Having the freedom to do so is great! But having it feel atypical to not do so could be guiding people who are genuinely unhappy alone to think that loneliness or finding a romantic partner are their only options.
