This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

This is honestly one of the places I find Marie Kondo's advice most helpful. I stop, look at the thing I've spent time and money on only to realize I dislike, and I say, "Thank you for teaching me something about myself and my preferences. I think I've learned this particular lesson and we can part ways now."

And then I don't feel like I "wasted" things or made a mistake. I just tried one path of learning about myself, learned something, and now it's time for a different path. Works a lot better for my brain.

The time Marie Kondo said "you can thank a a shirt you've never worn for teaching you about your taste", thereby making it NOT A WASTE literally rewired my whole brain. Acknowledge the thing and move forward, even if that means leaving the thing behind.

It kind of fucks with me that somebody killed ötzi the iceman because ötzi himself is like whatever but the silent presence of human hands that drew back the string of the bow that shot the arrow that killed him is crazy. the idea that there were various people involved in that situation and while one of them has had his last hours painstakingly reconstructed and studied to no end, the others now only exist insofar that an arrowhead had to get into his shoulder somehow. imagine killing someone and then suddenly your entire existence is only a vague shadow implied by the fact that you killed them. much to consider

Testing the mummified bone marrow of ötzi to figure out his ancestry whole time there’s definitely another person, maybe more than one, standing in the room with us but I can never see or speak to them because I only know them through the assurance that they were there too in the form of one single arrowhead. I hate prehistory so much it’s unreal

"everything's gonna be just fine," robby tells that baby, after a day in which he's spent fifteen hours denying that he's not fine and feeling that he's not fine and being told in no uncertain terms that he's not fine, that he needs help, but that things can get better and everything will turn out fine if he can only hold onto hope and seek help.

"you've got so many wonderful things to see," robby tells that baby, after watching a mother and her child come back from the precipice of death, literally blue and bleeding in one moment and then breathing, crying, alive the next, and being so shaken by the beauty and miracle of that experience he's literally breathless and nearly in tears as he walks out of the room afterward.

"you've got so many people to love ahead of you," Robby tells that baby, after Jack pulled him aside and made his love for his friend so abundantly clear that Jack got himself weepy in the telling of it and he hugged Robby, really hugged him, pressed him so close they were ear to ear from holding onto each other so tight. And before then, Duke has him promise to come back, ties his health and his wellbeing into Robby's promise, goes to the pitt at Robby's behest in the first place, because Duke knows it means something to his friend that he does so. And Dana loves him, cares for him enough to fight him when he's not being himself, gets so scared that he's unwell she refuses to stay silent about it. And Victoria asks Robby if he believes in her ability to get into emergency psychiatry because she values his opinion that much, because his faith in her means something. And Cassie checks in on him, too, and doesn't let exhaustion or even frustration stop her from approaching him from a place of empathy and experience as someone who knows darkness when she sees it. Robby, that kid who got abandoned by his mom when he was only eight years old, just about old enough to be in the third grade, had so many people to love ahead of him. And my god, they love him back.

i went frame by frame on the coding sequences trying to get as much as i could. keep in mind a lot of these are almost identical, both because caine is covering some of the text in some of them, and because some of the text scrolls and i wanted te get absolutely EVERYTHING.

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

tumblr users have the unique ability to string together sentences never before seen in all of human history and yet they conjure up such specific visceral imagery that you can’t help but be a little in awe. and i think that’s beautiful
