look i knowwww this will make me sound like a pretentious asshole, but art and culture literally make you a better and more interesting person. im not exaggerating. you need to pick up some highfalutin classic literature or watch some experimental auteur films every now and then to gain some scope and perspective about the world around you. cultivate curiosity! this can help you in many ways☝

okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life

the stingrays at the touch tank just now were acting pretty cautious around the people reaching in, getting really close but staying juuuust too far for anyone to touch, and this ten year old boy in a fnaf tshirt told me, exasperated, "the stingrays are ragebaiting us!!"

imagine youre kris and youre all reserved and cagey and you dont want to tip off your new best friend susie as to how much your parents divorce fucked with you. and then all your adventures take her through divorce themed fantasy lands constructed by your subconscious

Arts and crafts are perfect for adhd folk bc there's an immediate and visual progress.

Cut fabric, sew it together. You just made clothing.

Put some beads on some twine. You just made jewelry.

You can see your productivity.

Chores are the opposite. Yes, your kitchen is clean now. But you'll cook again that evening or the next day and you'll have to start over. Yes, you vacuumed. But two days later it's dusty again. Laundry done, until next week.

Chores never end.

But arts and crafts, nobody can undo the thing you made. You can hold it up and say "look. I made this. I did the productivity today" and nothing quite beats that serotonin rush.

My ability to do chores improved immensely when I stopped thinking of them as things that can be finished and started thinking of them as cycles. It’s no longer “what do I need to do to get the kitchen clean?” but “where am I in the kitchen cycle?” eg dishes go from the cupboard to the table tto the dishwasher and back to the cupboard. If your goal is to finish, you’ll always be in a state of failure. If your goal is to keep momentum going, every little step is a success. That being said, there’s nothing more satisfying than finishing a pair of knit mittens.

This... might really help me. I'm going to try out this mindset and see how it goes.

[fat-transmasc-experience]

hi! with the r/butchlesbians mods deciding to ban transmasculine butches, i just want to say this loud and clear:

transmasc, trans man, and multigender lesbians are lesbians!!!

you’re cool, you’re real, your labels don’t have to be “contradictions” if you don’t consider them to be such

you don’t owe anyone an explanation for how your gender and sexuality coexist or how your history affects your current reality. least of all some shitty reddit mod having a power trip or any other type of lesbians looking down upon you for “invading their spaces” or whatever.

fat transmasc/man lesbians, transmasc butches…all of you are safe and loved on this blog. love all of you x

one time i was making potato soup and i needed broth for it but i was out of broth. but in my dog food cabinet there was a carton of chicken broth that i had bought for my dog. now the box did say HUMAN GRADE and the ingredients were just bog standard chicken broth. it did say something about joint health for dogs on there. but the ingredients were normal. i even compared the ingredients list to some normal person broth and they were the same. so i did put dog broth in that soup and it did taste completely normal. but i did use the dog broth.

drawings are secretly the enemy because they start off very nice and unassuming but then when they're about 80% done they start emanating a malevolent aura that makes finishing them the scariest activity you can imagine

Rocky thinking Grace literally said “I have to go and die” on one of their first interactions is so funny to me. Like imagine meeting an alien after almost half a century alone and then they go “ah, bad timing, I’m gonna go lay down and never get up. Nice meeting ya! :)”

[for-those-who-wait]

[notquiteaghost]

concept. grace trying to have his cake (prove to rocky this is not the first time in his entire life he's been close to another person) and eat it too (continue to avoid confessing he did not actually volunteer to be on the hail mary) by talking about stratt, the woman in charge of the whole project, very infrequently. five whole sentences the whole journey back to erid. but he talks about eva a lot. eva is his friend. eva worked on the project with him, eva and him spent a lot of time together, he misses her something awful, sometimes rocky reminds him of her. rocky does not need to know eva and stratt are the same person. grace is in no way hoisting a sword up to hover dangerously above his head.
