dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

The concept that married people live longer is interesting. I'm sure there is some merit to the idea that if you're married there is someone there to nag you about going to the doctor, but I think much larger factors are having the finances of dual incomes and access to an immediate support person.

Surgeries require having a designated person to look after you. Many injuries require driving to somewhere like an emergency room which can be hard to do if you are the one injured. If you're home with the flu, it's hard to tell when it's bad enough to go to the hospital without another person checking on you. And if you pass out it requires another person to find you like that to get medical aid.

You can prop it up as the benefits of marriage, but I think there's a much deeper discussion to be had about how we've built society around marriage as an inevitable conclusion and neglected to build support systems that function outside of romantic pairings.

Really like the phrase breakfast-bait, it's like "Mutuals I'd love to make breakfast for while they are still tired in the morning and scrolling tumblr", it's great

[default-cube]

i wish mutuals could make me breakfast while i'm still tired in the morning and scrolling tumblr

I started dating a slime girl made of cornstarch and water.

She’s such an adorable little masochist. She gets hard whenever I hit her.

the world is tiring. i instinctively recoil from things i know brought me joy at one point, like they're parts of me I have cut from myself. I don't know why I do this.

[juney-blues]

I miss the person I was. Things were objectively worse for her, but she enjoyed herself more...

[juney-blues]

Trying to feel the type of joy I get from engaging with something I'm deeply emotionally invested in feels like trying to put my hand on a hot stove. Has this happened to anyone else.
