No way around it

Self-absorbed babbling, engagement with the world, sometimes, languages and linguistics, movies, memories, etc.

I've failed to read rooms I was alone in

Ugh okay let me see I guess I need to do 7pm grocery shopping then either go to the movies or take shrooms and write until I fall asleep.

[justnowayaroundit]

No actually the SA sense memory is kicking in too strong rn and putting me on edge so I guess I'm gonna get stoned. Which I wanted to avoid because it's gonna make me horny and I wanted to abstain until my date tomorrow but life is complicated and you just can't have everything that you want

Let me be clear!! If we're getting to know each other on one of the apps and you don't respond to me for two days!!!...That is literally OK with me. I don't care. Unless you're really hot I might not even notice. Honestly, I don't understand how people are so strict with their hingesuationships at the outset of a talking stage. Like aren't y'all busy? Am I just trash? Yeah probably. But I'm dealing someone right now and our rhythm is like one or two texts exchanged a day and so far a couple in-person meet-ups and this is very much my vibe, like if we get to know each other better and I become more attached I will expect more and try to give more but idk integrating another person into your life is really a lot of work and I don't think you have to dive deep all at once.

Y'know I don't know if I've ever felt understood by a film as much as I did while watching Woman in the Dunes. Maybe Gregg Araki movies.

[justnowayaroundit]

What a lie. There are so many. The Watermelon Woman, Cosmopolis, Love Valour Compassion. Watching the latter a couple of weeks ago was one of the more brutal I'm-30-now experiences that I've ever had, ufff

Crazy to think that this is all Ronald Reagan’s fault

I dont care what you're referring to. You are right.

TikTok (asshole of the world, I know, I’m sorry I’m subjecting you to it) has discovered the term ‘lavender marriage’ and decided to shift the definition to mean a man sinisterly pretending to be straight and using his hapless oblivious wife to as a beard and also applied this term to any couple where the husband has any interest in interior design, expresses emotions or acts like a human being in a domestic partnership instead of a douchebag. I know I made a post about it but I’m astounded by the new wave of homophobia I’m seeing creep into the public consciousness.

The African Accent and the Colonial Ear

In Western films set in Africa, misrepresentations of spoken language can harmfully homogenize the cultural nuances of diverse nations.

Advice I gave someone today was: 'do it stupid.'

She wants to learn photography. Do it stupid. Take a million photos. Don't think about why they're not good. Enjoy the process of taking photos.

Pick out tge ones you like the most and figure out why you like them. Is it because the subject is centered? Is it because you caught them doing something cool? Is it because the light made cool shadows?

Do it stupid. If you try to do it smart, youll get stuck. If you think too much you'll never get to doing. Do it stupid.

Anyway I just saw an Instagram reel that revealed to me that ridicule of the Australian accent is not just a gag among Anglophones, but the Spanish are in on it as well and idk but I find this too funny.

i DO NOT care if the electraheart album is satire. in my heart of hearts i AM a primadonna girl. all i ever wanted was the world

This website is so scary to me sometimes because it's one of a handful of still-functioning social media platforms that doesn't make me feel palpably weighed down by the burden of late-capitalist evil but the trade-off is that it's a haunted house. Barely anyone is on here (relatively speaking) and they are all re-blogging posts and telling jokes from when I was in high school. I felt a brief pang of nostalgia and affection reading the phrase "Electra Heart" but then I cringed. Enjoying tumblr makes me feel like Edie from Grey Gardens, alone and in arrested development, deriving pleasure from a cocktail of youthful memories and youthful delusions. But what am I supposed to do, scroll through Twitter and its hundreds of thousands of Nazi-oriented robots, desperate journalists, and gay men experimenting with soft-core pornography? Instagram, the body-dysmorphia factory? TikTok, ground zero for reactionary gender ideology and acquiescence to censorship? Are the only options to stay put in a stagnant backwater or advance into hell? Well, I guess the third option is to go outside and exist in the real world, but let's be serious lol.

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles

[what-even-is-thiss]

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.

These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.

I'm forgiving my father and learning to love him deeply again

[justnowayaroundit]

Meh honestly it's just chemicals. And I don't think I'll never willingly take enough of this stuff to start seeing things and hearing voices, I have crackheads in my family, so it's just an interesting head high for me. I might try micro-dosing at work though.

[justnowayaroundit]

No I'm not being honest lol. I feel very inhabited in my body and comfortable with painful memories without being consumed by them, and I feel a lot of warmth and affection for people. These are not all normal feelings, and it's nice. Though I probably need some actual help / a doctor.

I just downloaded a Torrey Peters novel lmaoooo
