-twenty something- i refuse to die on my knees

ich bin jetzt keine Expertin in Phylogenie, aber ich denke Pfandmaschinen müssen eine entfernte Verwandtschaft haben mit Druckern. Sie sind stärker domestiziert worden und daher etwas zahmer, aber in Momenten wo sie sich unberechenbar verhalten und man ihren willkürlichen Entscheidungen hilflos ausgesetzt ist wird einem die Verwandtschaft doch deutlich.

i thought i would feel better if i finally achieved what i wanted. but somehow it just feels worse because i got the results and everything else and i still feel so empty. i thought i would feel proud or happy but the only feeling is that i am not dissatisfied

For the start of a new year, I have a few thoughts. For various reasons I broke up with my (now ex) boyfriend a few days before christmas. He told me, I was too proud to show my emotions and cry in front of him but will bawl my eyes out once he left. I haven't cried about him one time. You know what I did instead? I went to the christmas market with friends. I visited a museum in another city with my best friend and her boyfriend. I went to a light show with my parents and my grandma. I am about to meet a friend I haven't seen in months. I am excited to go back to uni after winterbreak and learn and work. I make plans for a future job and/or further education. I make plans to visit different countries.

What I mean to say is, I stood outside on the first minutes of the new year and felt like I could breathe again. I feel better. Calm, focused and excited for a chapter of my life where I can dictate everything by myself.

Wenn ich noch einmal "six seven" hören muss, wird eines dieser Kinder rituell an einen altägyptischen Gott in Tiergestalt geopfert, ich kann das alles nicht mehr

as a kid, i distinctly remember learning about how the concept of abiogenesis (the theory that some forms of life can arise spontaneously from literally nothing) was accepted by the scientific community, specifically with the example that rotting meat would spontaneously spawn flies. and i remember thinking that was very obviously stupid. fast forward two decades and change and im getting fruit flies materializing inside of my house and home and im like "ohhh okay i get it now, sorry for being so harsh @ past scientists"

Not sure if non-Germans will be more or less confused about the fact that we have Kai-Pflaume-Tee at the office?!??!!

[deutsche-bahn]

Ich bin dem Kai Pflaume Tee vorhin im Rewe in freier Wildbahn begegnet. Das Highlight war, dass neben dem limited Edition vollmundig-süßen Kai Pflaume Tee direkt regulärer Zimt-Pflaumentee im Regal stand. Wer kennt sie nicht, Kai Pflaume und sein long lost brother, Zimt Pflaume

it's been years yet every time i hear a usamerican say "the president" my first mental image is always obama.

[draconym]

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

[regicidal-defenestration]

One time I saw a fake headline about the Vatican announcing the virgin Mary's new nemesis, la puta Waría, and ever since that day I've quoted it like anybody else knows what I'm talking about

[regicidal-defenestration]

They didn't even call her that I've just been making it up in my mind this whole time

[podcastwizard]

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

I've been browsing through too much speculative evolution memes but what if domestic cats could sail like gliders. Every day you get home you're greeted by

[what-even-is-thiss]

Athena is often just depicted in her armor and battle gear but in the ancient literature she also likes wearing pretty clothes that she made. She’s a goddess of crafts after all.

Athena in the ancient literature is a goddess of war and very good at fighting but she’s also a daddy’s girl and likes wearing pretty dresses.

She’s the one of the kids that goes “but daddy surely you don’t wanna kill that guy?” and Zeus goes “aw, anything for my sweet pea” but she also throws spears good and can beat up Ares and insult people because you can be a prissy whiny little princess and also beat people up real good.
