You run a tattoo parlor. Every couple of weeks, the same customer comes in, always requesting the same tattoo: an additional tally mark on an ever-growing cluster of tally marks.

“what are you counting”

“how many tattoos i’ve gotten”

“i’m no longer serving you”

Jeanne Calment is the world’s longest- living person.

She’s also fascinating af, so I gathered some more facts about her for you:

She once said: “I’ve never had but one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it.”

She remembered Van Gogh as being “dirty, badly-dressed, and disagreeable,” as well as “very ugly, ungracious, impolite, and sick.”

She outlived her husband, her only child, her only grandson, and a lawyer who hoped to take possession of her apartment.

She later lived off the income of that apartment, which she sold to a man under the agreement that he would not take ownership until she died. She outlived him too; he died after paying $184,000 (double the market value) for the property.

At 114, she made a cameo as herself in the film Vincent and Me, and became the oldest woman to ever appear in a film.

At her 121st birthday, she released a CD called ‘Time’s Mistress,’ which featured her 'reminiscing to a score of rap and other tunes.’

She quit smoking 2 years before she died, which, her doctor says, was not for health reasons, but because she’d gone blind and couldn’t see well-enough to light her cigarettes.

On February 21, 1997, her 122nd birthday, it was announced that she would no longer make public appearances because her health had seriously deteriorated. It was said that this “allowed her to die, as the attention had kept her alive.”

She still managed to live 6 more months, and died on August 4 of unknown causes.

Before and after her death, many claimed to have longer lives, but none was officially proven, therefore making her the reigning record-holder for oldest verified person ever.

She credited her long life, in part, to being calm ('that’s why they call me Calment’) and maintaining her sense of humor:

“I will die laughing.”

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

TATTOO PSA

SO I HAVE NEVER ONCE SEEN A POST LIKE THIS. AND OBVIOUSLY TATTOO ARTISTS AREN’T GOING TO MENTION IT. BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

IF YOU ARE A RECOVERING SELF HARMER AND ARE PLANNING ON GETTING A TATTOO, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE HEALING PROCESS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF CUTS. WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY TRIGGERING.

THE SCABS ARE SUPER SIMILAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE GETTING WRITING OR FINE LINES. AND IT ITCHES JUST LIKE HEALING CUTS DO. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED. NO ONE REALLY TOLD ME AND I GOT A HUGE REALITY CHECK THIS MORNING.

THAT IS ALL

I don’t usually share stuff like this, but as someone who also struggles with mental health issues, it’s understandable how sharing this could help someone out.
