Something I think is critical for humans to survive AND thrive is to have an identity or ego that no one can take away from you.
If your worth is tied up in your beauty, and your beauty fades, what are you?
If your identity is being a wife and mother, but your husband divorces you or gods forbid your child dies, what are you?
If your purpose is to be an athlete or a performer and an accident or medical issue prevents you from doing that anymore, what are you?
If your ego is only healthy because you are richer, prettier, smarter, cooler than people around you, and circumstances take those things away, what are you?
Inside your mind, in your heart, find the thing that makes you feel 100% certain. Find the stone that will not be moved, no matter how the river flows or the rain falls or the wind whips at you. The thing that relies on no one else to even witness it, but that you know will always be true.
And just hold it close. You never know when it might be the only thing that helps you keep on.
Last night I dreamed that I saw my aunt (who passed away suddenly in December) at a party and I got to give her a big hug and tell her I missed her.
I don't believe in an afterlife but man. Wouldn't it be nice
90% of age gaps don’t matter when you’re a grown adult as long as you don’t have a repeated pattern of dating people barely legal. I would date someone 30 years older than me if I liked them who gaf
This entire conversation is somehow 90% people infantilizing themselves and 10% actually people talking about the issue of men who never grow out of dating 18/19 year olds. No it is not a big deal when a 25 year old dates a 35 year old please get a grip
Honestly if you’re in your mid twenties infantilizing yourself on this level maybe you shouldn’t be dating anyone
Most of the time, the age gap isn't the cause, but it can be a symptom.
People who are abusive or controlling or even just insecure will (sometimes unconsciously) seek out partners who are vulnerable, inexperienced, or beneath them in a power dynamic. Because they are easier to manipulate and control.
Age gap =/= abusive relationship. But it can be a warning sign.
For those who don't contain a vast knowledge of Green Day lore like myself, I don't think it is hitting just how much of a "fuck you" the NFL is giving djt/the white house. This is a band that is:
Made entirely of openly bisexual/queer men
Made entirely of men who are vocal about being raised by single mothers on welfare
One of their members was adopted and raised by a Black woman and has said he "understands how his mother could hate 'the white man' and love him with her whole soul."
Were the first band to say, "No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist/MAGA U.S.A." on live television without ANY warning.
Literally released a song last year called, "The American Dream Is Killing Me"
Only hires ALL FEMALE bands to open for them to address inequality in the music industry
OPENLY tells trump supporters they are not welcome at their concerts.
Anyway, Enjoy Feb. 8th Magats! You're gonna hate it. :)
Not to mention the many, MANY critiques of W. Bush in American Idiot. I mean damn, how about just the song "American Idiot"
Posting this here instead of on my real socials because I don't want to start a fight but--
Imagine being in a polycule where you decide to rent a four-bedroom house. You get to pay 22.5% of the rent, your spouse is paying 22.5% of the rent, your spouse's partner is paying 0% of the rent, and your partner is paying 55% of the rent, and you think that's perfectly fair!
What's actually crazy about this is the stuff I'm leaving out (really, you're fucking 31 years old and you don't know how to load a dishwasher? Seriously?).
I don't even think that is necessary for most people to see how fucking insane this situation is. You claim to love this person but you're letting them pay more than half of the rent?? And then getting upset when they break up with you and decide they don't want to be screwed over like this anymore? FFS.

ON RAVENS
Speed and distance: Based on some quick research I think a healthy raven in normal conditions could probably average 300 miles in a day. That said, the longer the journey, the fewer average miles per day, since the raven would need to sleep and hunt. So, for journeys 301-499 miles, I estimated an average 250 mpd; for journeys 500-699 miles, I estimated an average 200 mpd; and for journeys over 700 miles, I went with a flat 150 mpd. I'm also assuming they fly mostly straight and aren't bothered by changes in elevation.
Locations: GRRM is vague about how the ravens work but essentially they seem to be able to find fixed locations. Let's assume a raven in any rookery in Westeros could find any major castle if needed. This means that ravens can't find people who are marching or in the field. They can SEND ravens if they have them (ala Sam on the great ranging in ACOK) though.
Some commonly noted calculations for raven trips:
King's Landing <- -> Winterfell = 10 days
King's Landing <- -> Castle Black = 14 days
Castle Black <- -> Winterfell = 3 days
Oldtown <- -> Winterfell = 21 days
Asking because a few months ago I started a huge insane autism project of trying to figure out where each chapter/event in ASOIAF falls on a calendar, and now I'm doubting myself (of course).
My goal generally was to err on the side of caution and to keep the timeline tight, but also to keep it based on what could be reasonably assumed from information we have in the text and not random guesses.
Here are some disclaimers:
1. I know GRRM intended things to be vague so that people can't do exactly what I'm trying to do. I don't care because he's had 14.5 years to put out the next book and I'm sick of waiting.
2. I know there is a fan-made calendar accessible via Reddit and while I am using that as a sort of check against my own, that one doesn't seem to account for moon cycles, which I think are really important.
3. I was inspired by a video from Preston Jacobs about the timing of the Pink Letter so blame him for this I guess
4. I'm assuming that the Planetos moon works the same way ours does (~29 day cycle).
5. I'm working from a fan-made map and using the Wall as my scale for distance (I believe GRRM once said the Wall is about 300 miles long).
6. I am estimating travel times for raven flight, riders, large groups of travelers, people moving on foot, etc. None of it is precise, but it's all I got.
7. The purpose of this is to scratch my autistic brain but also for funsies. My intent is not to pick holes in the story or find errors.
If you, like me, ever get tired of being alive, just whisper this to yourself until you feel better:
I must outlive Mitch McConnell. I must outlive Mitch McConnell. I MUST OUTLIVE MITCH MCCONNELL
Imagine if heaven and hell are real but where you go is based on how much harm you caused, graded on a curve
99% of people are in heaven and hell is a burning pajama party for Elon, Hitler, Trump, Mitch McConnell, Bezos, etc.
damn the misogyny is hitting right now folks.
If you believe that women "just hate men" for no good reason / by default / because it's popular, get fucked.
Most women don't hate men, but any who do have extremely valid reasons. And it's not because one man one time said something rude so now she goes online and spreads hate for 1/2 the population like you.
I'm so tired of explaining how male-centric our culture is and has always been, how girls are socialized to cater to men and put their wants above our needs, how structurally men (white men) have had so many advantages for decades and somehow because people online call out shitty male behavior that means all these years of systemic oppression and social inequity are now reversed?
You think you're right because of your twisted perception of the world and being chronically online but you don't have a damn clue what real life is like for women because you're so obsessed with yourself that you can't spend a single minute empathizing with a woman without getting defensive and sulking.
Eat absolute shit.
hot take but i think cars should be required to have communication radios just like big semi trucks. we should all be able to talk to each other on the road. not bc this would help in any way but because i want it to sound like a counterstrike lobby every time i drive somewgere
100%, I've said this for years. Nothing like a good hearty "FUCK YOU" at the asshole who cut me off in the morning
Just for fun to keep us sane, here are some petty laws I would enact in my socialist utopia:
5. Gas-powered leaf-blowers are banned. Trade it in for a free electric one! (Or a rake)
6. Heavy bass in vehicles is banned! No exceeding a specific volume. Shut it down or take the free light rail motherfucker
I am just as pissed as Sam Wilson about the name change. Thunderbolts is different, fun, and most importantly has an in-universe explanation even if it is silly/ironic. I love how quirky it is, I FUCKING LOVE wholesome lore like this.
Why on god's green earth did they not have Yelena lean over and say "actually we're called the Thunderbolts," quick pan to Alexei with a huge smile and he goes "YEEEEEEAAAAAHH--" cut to black.
There. Fixed it.
