roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

i can’t stand “it’s not that deep” attitudes like even if it really really isn’t that deep just PLAY WITH ME. just fucking PLAY. have a meaningless but deep analytical conversation with me. just like think about shit for fun. does anyone else like to think about stuff for fun. it’s so lonely

Kind of funny to me when humans are saddled with instincts which, historically over millions of years, offered a net-benefit to survival. And yet now in certain circumstances of modern day living just result in a doctor going, "yeah, so don't do that."

As hairless and warm-blooded creatures, we surely, I imagine, have been highly susceptible to parasites attached to our skin.

As creatures with dexterous opposable digits and fine-tuned motor skills, we surely, I imagine, have been able to fight back against this parasite blight by detecting the parasites on our skin and picking them entirely off.

And yet. When there is a highly unauthorized blemish. On skin. You """"shouldn't"""" """"pick at it"""" because that's """not the way to deal with acne""". Which is advice from someone who just sounds like they're jealous because their ancestors weren't nearly as skilled at skin parasite eradication.

I love when a meme gets so many steps away from its source material that it would be completely incomprehensible if I didn't know what today's date was

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Am enthralled by this visualization NASA shared of Artemis II's path through space. The most mathematically accurate little dance. <3

this is the core of why some women defend beauty standards - if they’re deconstructed even a little they have to face how much money/time they’ve sunk into them. it also exposes how untrue “i did it for myself” really is - if that was true, you wouldn’t be upset that other bodies are being uplifted
