girl thighs are literally so good. You can just like, put your face in between them and suddenly the whole world is quiet and soft and warm and smells like girl. 10/10.

no but the “”ai”” boom is crazy bc they made the entire internet so shitty that the only reason to use it is because it’s where all the people are and now they’re getting rid of the people. like i’m straight up logging off and going to the library there’s nothing on here anymore

‘here’s how to tell if an image is ai’ ‘signs the person you’re talking to is a bot’ ‘how to tell if a song is ai generated’ ah but consider this: i am shutting my laptop and walking outside

I saw a bsky post last year where someone said their grandma couldn't tell what was real on the internet anymore so she stopped using it and I really, genuinely think the techbros currently ruining everything have never even considered that possibility. their projections and pie charts and market share research and whatever simply do not take into account a scenario where people lose interest in being online. like yeah we're pretty much all gonna keep using the internet to book travel and look up words and order pizza, but in terms of how we spend our leisure time? I'm still extremely online, but in the last few years I've been learning candlemaking and carpentry and sewing, and I was already spending a lot of time cooking and reading books and skating at the rink and hiking, and an afternoon spent on any of those things always leaves me feeling better about myself than an afternoon spent doomscrolling. I think my daily life is going to keep reflecting that more and more as the slop encroaches, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one feeling that way. silver lining to everything, I suppose.

DO IT.

I'm having a much better time spending most of my day offline. There are humans out there and they're pretty cool and you can talk to them.

There are board game groups.

Queer fiber arts groups.

Random people in coffee shops with cute dogs who will just kind of adopt you.

Gym bros who are cool actually.

People who you will meet at Devil Yoga but you will run into at a quilt show because they're into quilts and also Devil Yoga. You're not allowed to touch the quilts but they are and they will show you the backs of them.

People who think urbanism is cool af.

Atheists who like to hang out and drink coffee on Sundays.

People with small children who ride bicycles and have tattoos and enjoy tinkering with RC cars.

There are amazing people out there you can meet by leaving the internet behind and venturing off into the wild unknowns of real life.

"Life begins at conception"

"No, babies gain souls when they're born"

"Everyone has an immortal soul"

Wrong!

You only develop a soul at the age of 27, and then it dies of old when you hit 42

i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

i unironically think that The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a truly good example on why you should diversify your reading.

like i’m sorry (not sorry) but no white person could write a revenge story that can impact me this much.

HOLY SHIT GUYS GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS

forgetfulness is wild because sometimes its "oops silly me i left the house without my wallet again" and sometimes its "my friend is trying to reminisce on a thing we did together and the fact its jogging nothing in my brain is genuinely kind of distressing"

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Some Grackles! These birds are incredibly common but I still enjoy watching them.

[fictionalcreator]

Fun fact! Grackles are only found in North America!

When I met a friend from South Africa abroad, I casually mentioned grackles one day and he was like ??? “What’s a grackle?” And when I explained that they’re like crows, but smaller, with yellow eyes and iridescent feathers, he “Oh, they sound lovely!”

So, just because something is common to you, doesn’t mean it’s not something rare and beautiful!
