trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing
“It’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing” I’m in love
"I'm lying to you but this sentence is technically the truth without context" is such a good trope. Like yes the way that I am spinning these words forms a lie but if you squint I'm actually not lying.
Also the horrors🧱
Extra bricks up for grabs -> 🧱🧱🧱🧱
(actually if anyone quotes this with a specific tag I will edit it on as a treat)
They don’t look so good..
Biblical levels of greed btw
I think we can stop throwing bricks at them, the blorbo is DOWN.
ENOUGH
“Ooughh…”
YAY!! The loop has reset and the blorbo is once again safe from the horrors <3
Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.

sometimes it's so very draining that the majority of aro content is about fictional relationships.
irl, i live alone. irl, i am disabled. irl, that intersection and my lack of interest in partnering actively makes life really hard. everything is expensive. i can't always cook when i want to or have fresh ingredients, because my symptoms don't care if I want to cut up vegetables and eat something homemade before they go bad. if I have a bad flareup and getting up is not in the cards, that's it. i have what's next to me. the lack of social support for single folks, for disabled folks, for folks whose family care is inadequate or damaging... it's impactful.
I talk about how i once visited a place with an ex partner. i mention how our relationship started because i was pressured into it, and i wasn't really into the level of seriousness and 'forever' she treated it with. everyone says it's weird that i agreed if i didn't want it to be serious. i remember being 16, saying no, and a chorus of people telling me i was stupid and immature, that her family was rich, that we would be cute and to listen to them, not my heart. my heart was saying nothing.
i look at my current age and life goals. for many of my peers, dating and marriage and eventual kids are common goals. i am watching my rights erode and trying to practice good mental hygeine. my five year goal is to be alive. my next major life milestone is a nebulous desire to find a life i can tolerate living.
being aromantic significantly impacts my day to day. i want to see aro people living their lives, and doing so with joy. i want to see aro adults making it, ones like me. i want aro people to thrive. i want to live, aromantically.
i scroll the aro tag. it's fandom and shipping and asexual posts.
not to be gay on main
but I said gay rights babey!!!!!!
Hey loser @official-james-sullivan come say gay rights with me
Oh hey Mikey! Sorry I was busy saying trans rights
You… you said trans rights without me?
Mikey! You said gay rights without me! What was I supposed to do?
You could have waited so we could say trans rights together!!!!!
Mikey please don’t cry, I’m sorry… let me make it up to you
How???? Fucking how????
We could… uh… you know
Holy shit… you don’t mean…
I do, Mikey.
We can say gay AND trans rights!
TOGETHER!
Spongebob says gay and
non-binary rights babey!
Spongebob I 100% agree!!!!!
Solidarity
Am I too late to say ACE RIGHTS?
Holy shit, shrek! I haven’t seen you since high school!!! And it’s never too late to say ace rights!!!!
@writerinthelouvre your contribution was not necessary, helpful, or wanted! And it’s funny how you’re the only one who commented this on here when everyone else was trying to happily celebrate pride!
Get the fuck off my post you clown, we don’t want exclusionists here. Make your own post
oh my god-
Somebody had to say it. And I wasn’t gonna let the humans handle this one. Sick of this shit
Wow mikey that was rough.

@writerinthelouvre since you didn’t seem to get the point before..
Until asexuals can file for discrimination when discriminated against for their sexuality, we don’t have all the rights we deserve. Until asexuality is not classified as a mental disorder (HSDD) in the DSM IV, we do not have the rights we deserve. Until legally there is a ban against conversion therapy for all of the LGBTQ community, including aces, we do not have the rights we deserve. You have asexual tags on many of your posts, which confuses me more. I don’t know who hurt you to the point that you think because you aren’t being beat up right now by someone who hates you for being ace you have all the rights you deserve, but you don’t. You deserve better, too. But just because you’ve been hurt doesn’t give you the right to hurt innocent people by telling them the rights they do/don’t have according to your opinion
And ONCE AGAIN, since you didn’t seem to read my entire reply before! Tumblr has this thing you can do called “make your own fucking post” and you should really try it instead of commenting unnecessary and hateful things on my post celebrating pride!
A quick addition
Untill we can say we are ace without being answered
“I didn’t ask if you are prude”
“i don’t care if you don’t fancy a shag”
“How do you know if you haven’t tried”
“I can change your mind”
“Its oppressive for you partner not giving them sex”
I say we are denied who we are
And all this is a form of oppression too
Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

Sometimes, due to the fact that people have a style for their essays (for the most part, rude and harsh to make a comedic expression), it might seem to people that this critic hates everything related to their favorite media, from which they get hate on Twitter. And this "cArEeR dEsTrOyEr!" says in plain text that everything he discusses is the MEDIA, not the fans.
I always depend on the opinions of others and after their words I can exhale in peace and start to respect them more.
The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.
My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.
All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.
I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!
I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.
He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.
This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.
I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.
I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"
This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.
The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.
The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).
Favorite Scrub Brushes + How to Clean Them. The right tools for cleaning tasks make all the difference! Scrub brushes are great tools and it
Here's a blog post about scrubbing brushes and how to clean them.
And a video for all cleaning tools, including scrub brushes. This video does use bleach. I'll try to find some alternatives to that.
How to clean a front load washer (with bleach). This should be done monthly or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
With expert tips and tricks for all types of washers.
How to clean a top loader (without the removable agitator thing). This should be done every 1-3 months depending on you unit, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
Regular cleaning of a top-load washing machine will prolong the life of the appliance and leave your laundry cleaner and brighter.
How to clean a top loader (with the removable agitator thing). This should be done every month, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
This video is for pet owners.
These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.
A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.
This channel is gold. There's tutorials for cleaning EVERYTHING on there. Just go subscribe!
Gonna throw another potential resource at the end of this very long list, which may be potentially helpful for others like me who loathe videos. It's... the weirdest thing that has genuinely been helpful to me in housekeeping. Absolutely full of useful advice, and bizarrely still relevant in large part. (Though, caveat, research ANYTHING to do with chemicals or cleaning products more complicated than vinegar + lemon + water for modern information.)
It's America's Housekeeping Book (1941). Available for free download on the Internet Archive. (Large PDF file at the link here).
The LISTS y'all. The step by step lists. The emphasis on efficiency and arranging spaces for the least resistance possible. The basic concept of "take a tray or basket into a room when you are tidying up so you can put things that belong elsewhere on it and take them out LATER in ONE GO".
My ADHD-having ass could cry.
