Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Here are the 2024 vaccine recommendation schedules. They’ve already been wiped from the cdc site. Save them and share widely, especially to your friends with kids.

My neighbors' daughter died from meningitis in under 10 hours, start to finish. It was horrific and excruciating. There was nothing the doctors could do. She was five if I remember right

still thinking about the line "i have to build my own castle."

because for so many of us, realizing you're aro means realizing that the path others have laid before you as the ideal dream life is not only undesirable but completely unattainable. you have to tear down that mirage and build your own way forward from scratch, which is especially true when there's not many role models out there for you to look to for answers.

it's even more raw of a line in the context of sakuko's earlier thoughts about the life she was going to build with chizuru in "their own castle." finally she thought she was going to have it all, only for chizuru to bail and for sakuko to realize that if she wants to find a place she truly belongs, she has to build it herself.

that's a notion i've incorporated into my own writing too so it feels right to see it portrayed in the show. as aromantic people we do have to build our own castles, regardless of the way that may look for every individual. man. shoutout to sakuko.

Cannot express how disturbed i am by some people’s commentary on Luigi Mangione. Not bc “violence bad” but because yall are acting like he’s already guilty. Mangione and The Adjuster (or whatever you wanna call them) are, as far as anyone should be concerned, completely different people. Both are hot. Both are based. Both deserve public support. But as of right now, The Adjuster is anonymous. I understand the appeal of celebrating Mangione and the desire for a Robin Hood like figure—but acting as though he is already guilty will only harm his chances of a fair verdict.
