i love having a corporeal form. i love eating warm food on cold days. i love taking hot showers. i love sleeping on clean sheets. i delight in earthly decadence. i wake up and eat warm bread slathered in butter. i own multiple pairs of soft fuzzy socks. this body is so comfy and i'm not returning it any time soon
Babe it's decomposing

REANIMATE REUSE RECYCLE

panic at the disco is the funniest band ever. what if when zayn went solo he took the name One Direction and started putting out his fuckinnnn sex playlist songs as One Direction. alone. and then Harry and all the other ones did nothing ever again
Your capacity for evil is showing
does it make me look cute
Funniest part of being a system and having a job is just the most unlikely system members end up doing work. Yeah Cinderpelt from Thunderclan is doing data entry using Microsoft Excel what about it.
Fall of 2026 update: Cinderpelt from Thunderclan is...DOING CORPORATE ESPIONAGE???????
parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.
No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.
The number of times I have been delighted by witty banter only to find out later that I was āFlirtingā is both unfortunate and disappointing.
āhaha so what about that guy, huh?ā
Me: what about him
āWell you seemed super into himā
Me: what why
āā¦dude you were flirting all nightā
Me:
Me: Whoms'tā¢ā¢
I found out several of my female coworkers were planning on trying to get our male coworker to ask me out because āYou guys kept flirtingā but I was like āWe were literally just goofing around. Like we literally just told jokes to each other. Literally just stuff that friends do, the same stuff you and I do.ā I was definitely 100% NOT flirting but everyone thought I was
āYou were laughing at everything TJ did!ā
āHe paper clipped a banana to the ceiling, Isabelle. Thatās fucking bonkersā
This might be a good time for Ms. Psych degree here to step in and let ye all know that People Are Unable To Identify Flirting. There are double-blind studies to support this, if you instruct participants to flirt or not flirt with another participant, neither the second participant nor onlookers are able to accurately tell which instruction the first participant was given. Even if you get the flirting participant to rate their attraction to the person theyāre flirting with, and only count trials where people are either flirting with people they find attractive, or not flirting with people they donāt find attractive NO ONE CAN TELL WHO IS FLIRTING OR WHO ISNāT.
Iāve heard that people actually have a *less than 50% chance* of guess whether someone is flirting or not.
Thank fuck this isnāt just me failing at humanity
SagePub has one such study here, dated 2014. There might be more recent work, however.

Thank you, non-sexualized boobs-out character designs. I love you, non-sexualized boobs-out character designs.
Hey. Take my hand. Let's kill misogyny forever, okay? Nobody should have decided that breasts are too scary or shocking to exist in casual context
Im like decked out in baseball memorabilia shouting at my tv for my team to win except its not baseball its deltarune and the team im on is Aromantic Kris
admittedly if anything regents has really given me a hell of an appreciation for og cats
the costuming sure but also the stage. the tire that ascends to the heavens, the car trunk that can store props (or cats), the oven that allows for quick entrances/exits, macavity's finale with the spark plugs, the garbage beetles, the garbage dogs, the garbage mice, Ye Olde Trash Puppets M&R... so much resourcefulness and creativity used in just about every song...
harry potter urls get blocked and people reblogging my shit with their harry potter ships in the tags get blocked and dumbasses who have shit bios like "marauders and drarry 4ever but I think jkr is a big meaner don't worry" you're getting blocked and I'm shoving you in a locker
Okay, let's talk about kids and needles.
Because under the post about giving minors the right to medically consent, people are spreading a ton of misinformation on this - largely because they just do not question the stuff they just assume are "normal". Which here is: "kids are all afraid of needles and therefore if we let them consent or not to medical proceedures, they would just not consent and not get vaccinations, because needles hurt".
And, look. Here is the thing: no, needles do not actually hurt a whole lot. And while, yes, certain procedures that involve being stabbed by a needle hurt more if you are younger for a bunch of reasons... that is actually not the main reason children fear needles. Because, again: the pain is not that bad. And most kids, especially young kids, whose motor skills are still developing, usually will have a bunch more hurting scratches, bruises and the like at any given moment than there will be pain from the needle.
No, from what research can tell, the main reason kids are afraid of needles, is more that for many of them needle procedures are very traumatizing. And that is largely because of the consent issue.
Imagine you are a person who is still pretty darn new to that whole human thing. So for one, yes, your brain is actually not that great in understanding what pain is dangerous and what pain is a safe limit of pain. So yes, someone intentionally hurting you (like with a needle) is really kinda scary. But then there is also the thing where this person hurting you is not telling you why they are doing. The people who you normally trust with keeping you safe (your family) is betraying you, by just holding you down and scolding you for crying over it. Or maybe it is not your family, but some strange nurse who is holding you. And while you are scared, because someone is intentionally hurting you, while someone else is restricting you, the adults around you are telling you, that your emotional reaction to this is actually bad and you are wrong for reacting that way. They might in fact lie to you and tell you that something that is insanely scary to you is "not that bad", instead of just understanding that it is super scary to you. And that is then what you start to expect whenever you see a doctor prepare a needle: people holding you down, hurting you without reason, and telling you that you are wrong for being upset, actively gaslighting you.
We have research on this. And this research is pretty clear: most kids are actually somewhat okay with needles, if you inform them why you are doing it, allow for them to have their emotions, talk to them about their emotions, and allow for them to set at least some conditions.
And frankly, I hate how many people just accept the framing of "kids are naturally afraid of this because it hurts". Like, folks, I know y'all are fucking Americans and that in your culture it is kinda normalized to like put kids into like some sort of fortified hamsterball to stop them from like doing typical kids stuff. But... let me tell you: if you do not do that, kids will actually very regularly engage in dangerous play that they know will often end up in injuries that are going to hurt. And, no, they are not to dumb to understand that. The kids know that this is what might happen because of their play. They actually just take the risk. Yes, they will cry if they get hurt, because - again - their nervous system is still calibrating how it relates to pain. But they will likely do that thing again and again. I can tell you: I fell down a tree so often during my childhood, and I still climbed it. Again and again. So did most kids I knew. Like, fuck, we lived next to a forest. We played "Tarzan", and tried to go along paths without touching the ground. And we fell. A lot. And we still did it.
It is not the fear of pain that makes kids afraid of doctors. It is the fear of the associated force, and gaslighting.
if i made a video game where you get to pick the gender of the player character i'd make both the options be nonbinary and you can either have they/them or it/its pronouns. those are your only options
Your artstyle is like your gut microbiome in the way its everything you consume and like and it also has all your bacteria up in it. Thats probably how that works
