The First Step is Starting Over

Together we can do hard things. Clementine, 1995. Inconveniently Jewish.

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.

Today in put up or shut up:

If I open two doors in the house, the hallways form a rough circle. I’ve downloaded Zombies, Run and am working on it. My cardio is garbage. I can only half blame it on my asthma—and ofc, improving my cardio will improve my asthma.

I’m uh definitely starting small. I did 3 min 40 seconds, took a break, and then did 2 min 40 seconds. Literally couldn’t make it to four minutes without needing to stop, and I don’t care. It’s six minutes (cumulative) more than I’ve done in I don’t know how long. And it’s six minutes more than nothing.

Speed and stamina will come with time. I’m focusing on form so I don’t hurt myself and just Doing Something.

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

it’s so hard for me to listen to heartbroken/angry breakup songs by straight men bc no matter how good the song is i’ll be like i’m not sure if i fully believe you. let’s hear her side of the story.

lol, not five minutes ago I was talking with my daughter about how if you are a straight white male, you have to be willing to put up with a certain amount of abuse if you want to follow fanfiction and / or be on Tumblr

[woman-respecter]

i hope you lose custody of her

um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.

I started out at “unique medical and social situations may lead to homeschooling being the best option for a child. This leads children open to very extreme forms of abuse and control, necessitating safeguardsto protect these kids”. But after learning more about homeschooling and watching homeschooling parents talk, I have now decided that homeschooling is evil

The thing that’s always missing from the “women didn’t fight for the right to work they were already working they fought to get paid” is that many women also very much wanted to work.

Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.

I know not everyone is born with intellectual curiosity or drive or determination but some people are and many of those people are women.

Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible

I saw somebody be wrong on the internet and I didn’t respond (don’t want to get involved) and I’m being SO brave about it

[startledoctopus]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I should never have made this post because now every time it gets a new note I’m reminded of how wrong that one person on the internet was.

[caspersgraveyard]

reblog to remind them how wrong that one person on the internet was

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

THEY WERE SO WRONG. ON THE INTERNET.

[the-beard-of-edward-teach]

What were they wrong about?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

NO I AM BEING SO BRAVE ABOUT IT

[toastyphilosopherturtle-deactiv]

It’s been a year- I do believe that the silence has been expired

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

The original flag of Estonia survived Soviet occupation thanks to two members of Estonian Students Society, who hid it behind their farmhouse’s chimney wall for 50 years.

Nowadays, the original flag of Estonia is on proud display at the Estonian National Museum in Tartu.
