Hi I'm so sorry I don't mean to embarass you but I think your headphones fell out of your phone, it must have happened at the bus stop, your phone has just been playing out loud in your hand this whole time and you didn't notice. So sorry, you must be so embarrassed, really I wouldn't have said anything but I know I'd be mortified if that happened to me and I didn't notice until I got home or something. I'd be so self conscious, can you imagine people thinking you were being disruptive and obnoxious on purpose. Haha yeah no worries have a great day

when your friend starts some drama and says “a little bird told me…” and you know full well you’re the little bird

I need a day between every day to recover from the day before

[dustsculptures]

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

[dustsculptures]

sorry for tagwatching but you still have to act like they aren’t mad at you imo! bc it’s the mad person’s duty to make it known if they want anything changed. it is never anyone’s duty to be a mind reader.

[nooblord9001]

If I am mad at someone and am remaining Quiet about it, it is because I Do Not Want them to know that I’m mad.

Please respect my boundaries and assume that I am Not mad.

If you’re worried that I am mad, consider the possibility that I am mad for reasons I know are stupid and do not want to make it your problem.

Ohhh that last addition opens my eyes in a big way, thank you.

Hello everyone,

It's been a whole year since I first made this art for my dear friend, Mohammed Ayesh @/blackeagleplog , who is still suffering from the same dangers since the very start of this genocide. These days, I still talk to him daily via WhatsApp and he remains steadfast & positive in the face of all his troubles.

I cannot understate how deserving he is of help.

For a long time, he has put aside promoting his own campaign in favour of helping others:

Vetting campaigns on the ground to assure everyone of legitimacy

Creating the Ihyaa Society @ihyaasociety which provides a space for students to continue their education online despite the genocide

It is very important that he himself is supported, given how much he has done for others. Please consider donating to him today. Any amount, no matter how small, will help him.

As of July 9th 2025:

£4,477 / £15,000

Donate to Help Ayesh family, organized by Shelley Gordon

Hi my name is Shelley and I am fundraising on behalf of the Ayesh family. Here is their story My … Shelley Gordon needs your support for

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

at the start of every month everyone reblogs some insane poetry that’s like “august has arrived and again I swallow my bones in the burning sun” and every time I’m like damn that makes no sense. but kind of true.

ideal living situation is what i call the 'sitcom special' : having all your closest friends live in the same apartment building or neighborhood where you each have your own space but can wander in and out of eachothers homes at will, seemingly always welcome and never at bad times. and also all of you only have jobs when its important to the plot.

[homunculus-argument]

"Your love language is what you were deprived of as a child" actually no you're allowed to want, prefer and like things without everything tracing back to some dormant unprocessed trauma. You can just say you want to bounce on it without having to explain how as a child you always wanted - but never got - a trampoline.
