Hot take but it is NOT a coincidence that our bodies fit together like the continents fit into Pangaea

My roommate has no responded to my question about how she plans to decorate her room ever since she said my posters looked demonic.

I’m worried she thinks she can’t live up to my coolness

[greyishdisaster]

I’ve dreamed about going to an Ivy or some equally prestigious university since I was little. I saved my tooth fairy money for Harvard.

It didn’t happen. I got accepted into my dream school but there was some hidden financial form and they said the fact I didn’t fill it out meant I couldn’t get any financial aid.

So now I’m going to a school I hate which is about two hours from my hometown— two hours is not far enough, I’m expected to come home for my family’s sake every few weeks.

When I went up to New York to visit schools, I cried because it was so amazing. I loved it so much. And now I’m going to college in Iowa.

At orientation, the demographic was about the same as it was in my high school. Mainly, the girls were the type of girl you’d see in Bama Rush. The few alt people I met weren’t “cool” alt, they were more “middle school GSA” alt, which was fine.

My roommate couldn’t have made it any clearer that she hates my style and finds it weird. She called my decorations demonic because they looked to much like tarot cards.

All this, and I’m still going to be thousands of dollars in debt when I graduate. I may never pay it back. And this was my cheapest option.

The kids are not alright.

Doom scrolling because I can’t sleep rn… but my dog is snoring SOOOO loudly. He’s just a lil guy

Saw a girl on TikTok look at super cool stats about the World Cup and how Haaland was a statistical anomaly, which was cool. And then I looked in the comments and looked in a reply to a comment and saw that she’d been caught using AI for statistics and many of her videos featured hallucinated data. Which was not cool.

Asking for a friend: if one’s roommate agrees to a “Sam and Cat” bedroom setup for one’s dorm, but later that roommate announces anxiety over one’s side of the room interfering with one’s roommate’s calming atmosphere, what does one do?

I didn’t think my posters looked demonic but if they do then of course I’ll take them down, but it seems like the issue is moreso the HAVING of the posters in the first place.

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

[penny-anna]

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

[greyishdisaster]

Imagine one of them is like a turquoisey color and one day Grace calls them green and another day he calls them blue and then the whole class is like “AHA WE HAVE DEBUNKED YOU” and Grace has to explain that humans fight about colors too

[greyishdisaster]

I mean this in the most respectful way possible but can an asexual person PLEASE explain ace-platonic relationships to me? Like I don’t get how they’re different from regular “this is my bff” relationships. Like I get that it’s a bond that “transcends friendship” but isn’t that just like… really close friendship? Idk I’m just confused 😭

(p.s. just because I don’t understand ace platonic relationships doesn’t mean I don’t respect them, I’m sure they’re completely valid I just don’t know why)

“Fashion boobs” and other ways to stop hating women

I think Society™ underestimates the power of a name to make someone feel bad (or good) about themself. Like I’ve been seeing a bunch of TikToks recently about how girls heard someone call their flat-chestedness “fashion boobs” and they immediately stopped feeling insecure.

Part of the appeal of this term is that it isn’t inherently sexual, like many of the other terms attributed to breasts in general, and nor is it demeaning. It reminds me of when I first heard about “hip dips” and felt disappointed, but then someone else called them “violin hips” and said Marilyn Monroe had them too, and I immediately felt much better about myself.

There’s something very relieving about a non-sexual term which still attributes value and beauty to the recipient.

A lot of large-chested people in the comments of “fashion boobs” video lament about how they feel like they always look trashy when they wear the clothes they like, because their breasts ruin every outfit. They feel like a whore. And I wonder if those people would still feel the same if there was a widely used term to describe large breasts that didn’t sound like a name that a fetish-ridden man coined (I’m looking at you, “calcium cannons.” Eugh.)

Anyway, point being: maybe the problem was never women’s bodies, but how we speak about them.

Do you ever think about the fact that one of the first things we know about Jesper as a character is that he cannot hold grudges well? Especially since vengeance fuels the other crows so intensely???

[greyishdisaster]

Even the most “moral” of the Crows still hold grudges (justifiably so). But Jesper— the one who, out of all of them, might just have killed the most people— can’t stay mad at Kaz for testing his loyalty or any of the other terrible things Kaz does. He just seeks his approval. There’s definitely something to be said about Jesper’s violence vs intent.

I just got rejected from every dream school I’ve ever had and I don’t know what to do with myself. I guess im just shit at writing essays.

I think it’s funny that robot vacuums are just robot vacuums but humans talk about them like they’re little pets.

[greyishdisaster]

Well they’re so little and cute and they need a little help now and then and they just go vrooooooom

[greyishdisaster]

I don’t watch My Little Pony but I now have a head canon that the reason they say Rainbow Dash like Rain Bow Dash is because she’s named after one of her relatives who invented the first rainbow and was named Rain Bow in the same way someone might be named Norma Jean or Bethany Anne or something like that. MLP fandom please accept my head canon

What, you don’t go to the woods and take selfies with the demonic looking deer statue that’s been slowly eaten down over time?

thought about that quote "homosexuality exists in 1000+ species, homophobia only exists in one" but how awkward would it be if we discovered another species that was homophobic

"homosexuality exists in 1000+ species, homophobia only exists in two. what? oh, humans, and the yellow-patched cuboid pinecone wren that was recently discovered on an island off the coast of canada. they're fucking bigots"
