wait what

hi again. this is my seventh (i think) tumblr account

[made-it-to-eight]

whoa! a wild intro post!

hi! it's me again. you might be asking "well, who are you?"

that is a good question. i don't know, but i'll get back to you after i've resolved my internal struggle with my concept of identity

anyway

you might be coming from one of my blogs on a different account. whatever i said my name was there, i'm gonna have a new one

so, without further ado, let me introduce myself (again)

i'm maddie! my pronouns are she/her, i'm in my 20s and american

im a HUGE nerd for a lot of stuff (shocking, i know) but some specific things right now are project hail mary, batfam, the study of rhetoric, theater, and sea slugs. i REALLY want to learn more about sea slugs, nudibranch, whatever they're called.

i love learning in general but it's hard to stick with things (cough cough adhd) so if you want to i will always be ecstatic to hear you infodump about how things work or the technical side of anything. my brain goes "whoag that functions good... so cool..."

i have a really stupid sense of humor so i apologize in advance for what you might see me reblog.

TL;DR: i want you to ask me things. anything

also i dont want to have like a DNI because those can be confusing but if i see your behavior is harming others on my blog or my posts, i will acknowledge it and give you a chance to fix it before i block anyone. ik it's easy to mess up and hurt people without meaning to, but repeat offenders will be blocked and/or reported

anyway

this is a long post... sorry about that. if you did read all of it, welcome! if you didn't, still welcome! i'm here to have fun, learn, and cause chaos so if you like that (or what i end up posting) then yay!!

ok thanks for reading. go take a water break after this long ass post

love you <3

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

[tainbocuailnge]

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

[nudityandnerdery]

This seems like a good post to include this link on:

Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still wort

Talking about popular kitchenware companies undergoing enshittification, and gives you a list of brands towards the end that are more reliable.

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

[aggot]

let's reintroduce "rude" to the lexicon no that person is not evil or morally bankrupt or even your enemy they're just being rude

a few months ago my friend called me and told me she was moving back up near me from 7 hours south in the middle of nowhere and asked if i would help her because she couldn’t move the furniture by herself and the town was so small there was no moving company (there were actually only 5 or six businesses in the whole town including both restaurants) and she had no one else down there to ask. 

And even though money is pretty tight for her, she told me I could name my price if I would help her, because it was so far away.

I told her she was a dummy for thinking i would take her money but that i would accept the traditional helping-a-friend-move price: a meal (i know she would feel wrong about herself if she didn’t do something for me in return, that’s just how she is) Tradition suggests pizza and beer, we opted for enchiladas and a margarita.

we crashed on the floor of the empty place and left back north in the morning - when we got back to the city three more friends met us at her storage place (the place she was moving into wouldn’t be vacant for a couple months) and we started to move all her stuff up to a storage room on the THIRD FLOOR (because large city storage places be like that)

we had just taken the first box out of the truck when the (only) lady working there walked by and told us they closed in an hour and twenty minutes, and she couldn’t stay even a little late because she had to get to her other job.

One hour twenty minutes. To completely un-jenga a large uhaul and re-tetris it back into a similar sized room on the third floor.

We all just, shared a look, took off hoodies, and got the fuck down to business. 

It was actually.. I still cherish look we passed around. The tiny eyebrow quirks and chin nods. The eye glints. The bigger breath we each took as we prepared to kick it up several gears. That moment of wordless connection, when we all just silently agreed that we were damn well going to do the impossible and didn’t even waste the time it would take to say anything, just got to it.

And we did it too. Finished with exactly two full minutes to spare. And then we all went for dinner and drinks to celebrate. And my friend’s friends that came to help? Two of them were acquaintances/friends of mine already. Like I lived with one for a year a decade ago sort of thing. But this experience? Brought us all closer. Made myself a new friend too.

And the friend i helped move? She and I are closer than ever because of it.

When i left our storage success diner to go home, she asked me again if I was sure i wouldn’t take any money.

I said “I ever tell you when I was 22 I went down to Hollywood to try that scene out? Anyway ten months later, when I just couldn’t do it anymore, and needed to come back, I called one of my best friends and said i can’t do this anymore i need to come back. You know what he said? He said: I’ll be there tomorrow. Not how much will you pay me, not what do i get out of it, not will you be able to cover my gas, just: I’ll be there tomorrow. Okay? You’re my friend. If you need help, I’m going to be there”

If helping someone move ruins your friendship, you’re doing at least one of those two things very wrong.

Reblogging for the last line

[flyin-shark]

I feel cheated. no one on Reddit told me that tumblr is a serotonin factory. Keep liking and reblogging my posts please thanks

[felixcloud6288]

Just don't fly too close to the sun.

[flyin-shark]

Throw me to the sun and I’ll get it pregnant

[strangehorse]

he understands the website your honour

[somecunttookmyurl]

we should bring back the supernatural fandom somehow having an extremely specific gif for literally every occasion though

i know you guys are still out there. i know you still have your .gif folders. don't pretend you're not.

you. you get it.

[made-it-to-eight]

just so y'all this is mostly gonna be a lurking account with the occasional rare burst of activity

[real-physics-facts]

did you know that atoms get sad if you dont feed them

[soballoonist]

I tried feeding my U235 and it blew up at me. Idk what to do at this point

[real-physics-facts]

probably was mistreated by its previous owner

just try and be kind to it so it builds trust, maybe leave the food out and let it come to YOU

235s are a very sensitive breed, 238 is a much more ethical and healthier alternative (but be nice to the 235s already bred, they deserve a loving home)

Best brain hack is taking “this too shall pass” and applying it in the micro. The panic you feel from an argument with a friend, wanting to get on your phone when you should be studying, the absolute obsession with someone you’re crushing on, pain from rejection, utter hopelessness at a situation that is not entirely hopeless. Heavy on situations that induce panic and incentivize you to act out of turn, maybe to send a text you shouldn’t be sending or to blow up at someone or whatever it is. The antidote to knee jerk reactions is literally just “this too shall pass” and allowing yourself to feel the physical manifestation of your extreme emotion. Literally just ride it out. Even for things that can’t immediately be resolved, it makes such a big difference and prevents you from reacting in ways that you would undoubtedly regret down the line.

Being an adult will have you unironically craving a vegetable

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

[anarchistmemedistro]

62 8

[technofeudalism]

[g00burr]

Absolutely nuts how they made up a number for this satire post and the correction is that reality is *more absurd* than the number they chose

[anarchistmemedistro]

no i’m afraid it’s even worse than that. 62 was correct in 2016 when the original post was made.
