stages of gay courtship:
1. joke flirting
2. real flirting but still pretending itās joke flirting
3. sharing ur childhood trauma
4. hold hands
I fucking love libraries man like Iāve been chilling in my college library and randomly pulling out books and today I looked at one called āmedieval sexualityā and it was talking about how monks thought they should never have sexual feelings or get erections ever and there was a quotation from the account of this one monk who wrote about how a woman had to stay with him one night because she was like travelling or something and the sight of her made him so horny that during that night he had to stick his hand in a candle flame to distract himself from how horny he was and also at least one monk wrote about having homoerotic dreams about Jesus
kids these days need to open a book and be scarred for life by some obscure historical fact that they could have easily gone their entire lives not knowing
*Opens book*
*takes 3000 Psychic damage*
*closes book*
āNeat!ā
why the fuck does he have such a dreamy look on his face jesus fucking christ
Because he has extremely good taste next question
wait people sleep with their doors closed????
okay now im curious. reblog this with where youre from and if you sleep with your door open or closed
okay, so Iām on my firefighter bullshit again.
Sleeping with your door closed can literally save your life.
In a properly alarmed home - that is a home where all of the smoke detectors are connected, either via hard wire, or via wifi system - a fire in one pat of the home will trip the smoke detectors in the *entire* home. Sleeping with your door CLOSED would not, then, contribute to how quickly you would hear the smoke detector alarm go off.
The door being closed, however, WOULD contribute to how much smoke enters your room while you are asleep and vulnerable and unable to guard your airway BEFORE the detector goes off. And in a modern home, the products of combustion are absolutely DEADLY. The gasses given off contain so many toxins and poisons, that if you sleep through the first few minutes of the fire and inhale that smoke? You wonāt have enough coherence left TO wake up, even when the alarm is screaming in your ear.
The minutes that keeping your door closed can save before it burns through should your home catch fire in the middle of the night while you are asleep? Will literally save your life. Even something as cheap as an ordinary hollow core interior door. Itās enough.Ā
Also demons in the hallway can't get me

People in their 20s through 40s: I still have nightmares about school sometimes.
School System: This is normal. I see no problem here.
Two years. After graduation I would wake up with a panic attack if I heard loud vehicles like garbage trucks outside my window because I thought I overslept and missed the bus.
My younger sister enters high school and one time my mom asked my sister if she had her homework done. And I thought my mom was talking to me and I blurted out "HOLY SHIT I FORGOT." I was shaking for a good 20 minutes from the adrenaline. I hadn't had homework in three years.
Several years out of high school I get anxious going to the bathroom at my job thinking my manager or supervisor is going to stop me and give me shit for slacking off or not asking permission. I hold it for hours on end. I drink less water.
Four years after graduation I show up to work with a 104 degree fever. I'm pulling a pallet and pass out from exasution. It doesn't last long and I'm still okay.
To this day I hear people giggling and assume they're laughing at me. I assume everyone is going to treat me like a highschooler would. Or worse a teacher. When I'm pulled into an office I assume I'm getting into trouble. I'm terrified of people asssuming I'm stupid or lazy or a flake.
I graduated in 2014.
Now lets step back and think about how all of this serves the interests of capital. Our formative years are spent making us deathly terrified of lateness, and fulfilling basic human needs at the expense of productivity. It makes us cowardly and submissive in the face of authority. It drives us into work sick and gives a psyche that always pesters us with "why aren't you doing more"?
Schools are like THAT for a reason
āDo you want to talk about it or be distracted from itā is honestly the best thing you can say to me when I say im sad/in pain etc.
this is really good advice to say to anyone who is upset
Alsooo may I add: ādo you want advice or do you just want to vent?ā Is also good to add because often unsoliticited advice can further hurt someone who really just wanted a listening ear.
My friend always asks if I want "the toolbox or the trashcan." So we can either work on fixing what's wrong we we can just get everything out and not have it lingering and festering. Its amazing and the kindest thing someone can do.
i love it when people come and just run through my blog liking all of my posts and reblogging a few because it makes me feel like an owner of a lil shop and someone has come in to compliment all of my wares and occasionally wants to buy a few things and it makes me very happy
Modern Sokka! :D
I love that on mobile, instead of getting bigger, it just looks like the picture is getting progressively less blurry, as if youre experiencing this from the perspective of someone coming out of a coma
this image came to me in a sudden burst of enlightenment
Question: Does Zuko actually know that Toph was blind?
Counter-question: How long before Zuko knew that Toph was blind?Ā
Counter-counter-question: Do you think Zuko just spent weeks wondering, because sometimes, she seemed blind, but other times, she clearly knew where everything was, even āseeingā stuff he didnāt?
And Zuko, being the newcomer to the group, already trying his best to not be hated, has no idea how to even ask this question. Because, letās face it, very few people know how to talk to disabled people, and Zuko doesnāt know how to talk to any person, so combine that and Iām just imagining this succession of hijinks as he tries to figure out if she can see or not, without directly asking her.
(Toph knows exactly what heās doing and is loving every moment of it, she messes with him so much, the whole gang gets involved, every time he thinks heās cracked the code, they just intentionally screw things up, Sokka hands her a scroll and she, having already worked with the others to recite it, is able to āreadā the entire page. She then stands up and bumps into a tree. Zuko is near tears. Even in Ember Island Players, heās still not 100% sure, because the play hasnāt been accurate so far. Maybe the playwright didnāt even know if sheās blind or not??? Like, the more I think about it, the more Iām convinced that Zuko spent his whole life second-guessing because nobody bothered explaining the seismic sense, mostly because everyone loved messing with him.)
I always get so fucking mad when I remember that itās actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a ratās ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didnāt bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.
Her name was Baya Mahieddine.
i hope that more people know about her now, especially seeing as OP literally linked to an article about a Baya Mahieddine exhibition in 2018.
It is remarkable that she had such a strong practise and had great influence at 16. Despite various disruptions that caused her to stop painting, she returned to her practise from the 60s until the end of her life.
It was within her work that Baya found freedom. The world she painted, after all, is one where women assert their individuality and are free from the men who attempt to brand them with labels, keep them inside the home, or hold them back in any way. āIf I change my paintings, I will no longer be Baya,ā the artist said in 1991, after her husband died and sheād returned to painting. āWhen I paint, I am happy and I am in another world.ā
