So many people don't seem to understand that literally every other person besides themselves has as rich and complex of an inner world as then. Like the person you are talking to is an entire human with unique thoughts and feelings and a perspective that is valuable. I'm sorry but you do not think and feel deeper than everyone else. Every person on earth has a unique insight you couldn't even imagine, no one is an "NPC". Every person you meet has as much of a soul as you. You just can't see it because you are not in their head.

so many mental health issues these days are due to the fact that we no longer put the gargoyles on buildings that used to scare away the evil spirits that cause mental illness

I've seen this at least once every day for the last three days, and every time, I absolutely lose it at Toph's "STAIRS"

I truly hate the word "unalive." There are so many other euphemisms that fictional Italian mobsters worked so hard to provide you with and you just ignore them.

"Joined the great majority" is a good one that I practically never hear.

Heard another good one in an old radio drama the other day - "He slipped out of my arms and stopped paying taxes."

I am obligated to reblog this again, because it is now Superwholock, and therefore perfection.

people need to remember that every tumblr post in 2012 was like this

AU where Sauron literally pours all of his cruelty and malice and will to dominate all life into the One Ring...

And then just fucking stares at at it for five seconds before dropping it on the ground and leaving because without all that stuff he's Nice now.

Straight friend: Will you sensitivity read my book for my lesbian best friend character?

Me, two weeks later: The lesbian best friend is absolutely perfect. Here's 16 pages of notes detailing the incorrect things you said about Star Trek.

correcting star trek inaccuracies counts as removing offensive content for queer readers

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

It was said by Resmaa Menakem, and the full quote is: “Trauma decontextualized in a person can look like personality. Trauma decontextualized in a family can look like family traits. Trauma in a people can look like culture.”

This quote was taken from a podcast interview which Menakem participated in, which you can find here.

I highly recommend “My Grandmother’s Hands” for more of his thoughtful and nuanced words.

ooo ooo this feels like the same flavor of thing as that story about:

except that in the version i read, it was a guy asking the generations of women in a family why they cut off the ends, and the great grandma answered that it was because when she was young her family was so poor and didn't have a big enough oven to fit the entire ham in

the point was that often if you go back far enough, the origin of bizarre, backwards and even harmful traditions/rules of society were often the result of people in that time period making the best of what they had, not because they thought it was the "right" way

the family in this story now has a big enough oven to fit the whole ass ham but its tradition to cut off the ends, its just how its done and the crazy part is that two fucking generations removed don't even know why but they do it without questioning it because thats. how. we've. always. done. it.

so yeah i feel like this melds very nicely with the whole "Trauma in a people can look like culture" thing

So, like, this is going to heal very much like I'm boasting or something, but genuinely: this is why self-reflection and inventory-taking is so important. When we stop and ask ourselves "...why, though?" We can really start to deconstruct the things that don't make sense for us.

A lot of the things I do in my life - or, more importantly, *don't* do are explicitly because I have spent a fuckload of years doing personal inventory, thinking about "why am I doing this? Is this valid? Does this make sense to me to do?" And, subsequently, discarding shit that I think is dumb and doing shit other people might not because it is important *to me*
