after a couple hours chopping dried sea urchins into tiny pieces with a razor blade you start referring to the razor blade as yourself in your thoughts. a little while afterwards you'll inevitably think something along the lines of "i'm getting a bit dull, i'm going to have to throw myself out & get myself a new self" at which point your internal monologue has pretty much returned to baseline

This happens with mobility aids too. I bump into shit with my forearm crutches and say "ow" before I realize those are not, in fact, More Legs. Then when I get up and try to walk without them for a second there's a moment of feeling like a dog walking upright

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

The Princess of Vix's golden torque (or torc)

Dating back to around 500–480 BC and discovered in 1953 within the elite Vix Grave in Burgundy, France.

This Hallstatt culture masterpiece is famous for its unique terminals shaped like beautifully detailed winged horses (Pegasi).

The torque represents a fascinating blend of Celtic craftsmanship and Mediterranean influence, showcasing lion-paw pedestals and a heavy arc of pure gold.

24-carat solid gold neck ring weighing 480 grams,

Outer Diameter:27.4 centimeters (10.8 inches).Height:21 centimeters.Width:23 centimeters.Depth / Thickness:4.5 centimeters.

In a shocking daylight heist on July 24, 2026, the torque was stolen from its display case at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais in Châtillon-sur-Seine. A major criminal investigation is actively underway.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

Some good news!

I've seen some posts trying to make fun of former gifted kids by comparing them to former student athletes who insist that they could have gone pro if not for a specific injury, and those posts always backfire, because my reaction to them is "You're right, we should treat former student athletes with more compassion than we currently do"
