not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise
iâm gonna be real i dont think weâre gonna community garden our way out of this one
I have to remember every 5 years that when I was a little kid my dad was having obsessive spirals about things he did wrong like 30 years prior and his talked to his therapist about it and you know what they did NOT say. They did not say "hmmm well have you learned your lesson changed your behavior and atoned?"
They said "that sounds like a really unhelpful and distressing thing that your brain is making you think about All The Time. How about when that happens you try to think about something that makes you happy instead"
(My dad carried a picture of me at age 4 with a large inflatable dinosaur in his wallet for this purpose) (hard to ruminate about past failures when looking at a picture of your kid enjoying a large inflatable dinosaur)
Anyway. Fucking... stop thinking you can Solve Ethics by spiraling you fool. It's the Ethics Cuckoo. Fuck that guy
my favorite AITA ruling comments
Iâm a fan of this one.
would like to add this one
if we could read minds I still don't think we'd understand them.
like I've spoken to people who think in images, who have to translate each thought into words before they communicate. and I think entirely in words, laid out across the void inside my head. my father's thinking is 3d, concepts structured in ways that are incredibly difficult to translate into words. and how would that look to me, if I could see into it? how do I perceive a thought that my mind cannot contain by the nature of their construction?
we all speak a private language to ourselves and we are always translating so we can speak to each other...don't touch me I'm emotional
yeah. bad things are part of life. but yknow what? so is the feeling of a soft, fluffy blanket and the taste of chocolate cookies and fruit flavored tea and the bright blue of the sky and the sound of quiet birdsong and the way the sunlight hits your backyard just after noon.
imagine being sappho of lesbos writing some poetry abt ur gf and then 2000 years later âthere are two common adjectives for love between women and you wonât believe who theyâre named after!â âby the delights of athena, you canât mean that one of them is named after me?â âno both of them areâ
Me entering any museum: man Iâm so excited to learn all the things
Also me: GIFT SHOP GIFT SHOP GIFT SHOP
There are two dragons inside of you. One hoards knowledge and the other hoards trinkets. Theyâre both very excited when you bring them to a museum
The worst thing you can do, as someone who has recently realised they are transfem, is to let terves and transphobes convince you cis women will never accept you.
I was told that when I came out everyone would reject me. That I would find myself isolated from the world, and from other women especially, who would react to me with horror and revulsion.
In reality, within the first months of coming out, in no particular order:
My sister's reaction on my coming out was, "Right, so I have a sister instead of a brother. Cool. I'm taking you clothes shopping tomorrow."
A friend, when she learned I am a woman, immediately invited me to her women-only, girls-night-out birthday party the following week.
Another friend, when a friend of hers expressed doubts about my gender, immediately shut them down and reaffirmed I am a woman.
I went camping with a group of friends, and we had two tents, one for the boys and one for the girls; I was unsure as to which I should enter, to which a girl friend responded by grabbing me and physically dragging me inside the women's tent.
In the women's bathroom at a movie theatre a random woman, whom I'd never seen before and haven't seen since, stopped me as I was going into a stall, to warn me there was no toilet paper in there, because she'd just used the last of it.
All of these, and more, some from friends, some from complete strangers. All within a few months, as a trans woman who hadn't started medical transition yet, and was very visible as being a trans woman.
I've had some people reject me, true, but the vast majority, including almost all cis women, accepted me as a sister with open arms.
Cis women are cool. It's terves who are bigots.
I needed to see this today
As per my last clay tablet,
CCing Ibbi-Ilabrat on this one just to make sure weâre all on the same page!
This consultation with my viziers could have been a clay tablet

Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless
Like the one that stuck with me was this one:
"when a person dies and no one will miss them, the mourning is assigned to a random human. This is why sometimes you just feel sad."
It's been almost 11 years... It haunts me in a good way
Know what? Tell me YOUR favorite WTNV quote. I wanna know what lingers in people's minds after all this time
âAre we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But thatâs not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?â
âThe past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present.â
âDeath is only the end of you assume the story is about youâ
"There is a thin semantic line separating weird and beautiful, and that line is covered in jellyfish"
"Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won't. That's what love is."
from one of the books:
"Nothing there but a distant airplane crawling across the sky, red blinking lights, vulnerable in the vast empty, faint red beacons flashing the message HELLO. A SMALL ISLAND OF LIFE UP HERE, VERY CLOSE TO SPACE. PRAY FOR US. PRAY FOR US."
I haven't seen two of my favorites so I'm going to include them:
"Your Existence is not impossible, but it's also not very likely" (The Phone Call)
"And this is our town! And it is terrible. But it is ours, and we... we are fighting for it!" (Old Oak Doors B)
Having an abusive parent is kinda funny in retrospect like mommy why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you
Haters (my dad) can't stand to see a bad bitch (me, nine years old) winning ("drawing too loud")
How do you draw too loud?
Well you see the thing is that child abuse is inherently irrational
any time that white old lady in the tumblr ads changes position I get scared I feel like the next ad is going to be a picture of the couch empty and I'm going to start seeing her around town
