Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty

Behold, Dorothea

(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)

[jewish-joy]

I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.

He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"

So Theodora's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.

see i think when a Final Girl kills a Slasher she should automatically inherit his mantle

[calechipconecrimes]

the sequel should reveal that the previous movie's Final Girl is the sequel's Slasher. like a curse

wait. make it a metaphor extended allegory for transitioning

Like The Santa Clause.

You pushed Michael Myers off a roof. Put on the mask.

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

The self-indulgent fanficiton will also continue after morale improves, just with better morale.

i forgot the word for someone who demolishes buildings for a living and my brain wouldn't stop suggesting "homewrecker" to me which is. NOT what i meant

[mclennonyaoi]

working with kids and one of them says “you know you eat 8 spiders a night on average right?” and another goes “no no no those statistics are actually skewed by people who like eat spiders recreationally for fun and stuff” and my head snapped up like a fucking sleeper agent

[vigilantsycamore]

Those numbers suggest Georg is currently eating an average of over 769 thousand spiders per second

The children's show villain is a figure who sadly is not seen outside the children's show. There are few stock characters who as succinctly declare, from sheer stage presence, "the world is unloveable and it is painful to live here; that which delights mankind is like ash on my tongue" without being too fucking whiny about it.

maladaptive suicidal ideation: "i'm going to kill myself"

I cannot fucking believe I am drunk, past midnight, and tumblr is throwing fucking saturated fatty-acids at me

[musicprincess655]

Listen here friendo I didn’t sit through a year of organic chemistry for you to come into my house and call a carboxylic acid a saturated fatty acid you respect that hexadecanoic acid

[bismuthcladbattleship]

And I didnt get a degree in biochemistry to hear you say that carboxylic acids with aliphatic chains arent fatty acids. That hexadecanoic acid IS a saturated fatty acid!

[epiphainie]

people get so mad when you tell them that their lowbrow entertainment they enjoy is actually lowbrow

[epiphainie]

everyone wants their self-indulgent romantasy to be considered high literature and whatever new mainstream pop boy/girl to be treated as the next beethoven and their gay fluff show on streaming apps to be revolutionary art changing the world and like, they're not. and that's okay. i'm literally watching the stupidest show right now and it's fine. it doesn't have to be more.

Listen, the difference between your trash and my trash is that I like my trash. That's it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Health classes really ought to teach people what the beginning stages of addiction are like because a lot of people don’t realize they’re addicted to something until they’re years deep into it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Signs you might be getting addicted to something:

If you go without it you feel unwell in a way that you never usually feel unwell. Sweating, tired, sleepy, headaches, irritable, depressed, etc. For example when I was in opium withdrawal I got incredibly depressed in a way that I’ve never been before or since. When you quit caffeine you might get super bad headaches even if you never usually get any headaches.

Thoughts of it regularly bother you and the thoughts go away once you’ve taken it but only temporarily. Unlike with a food craving which usually stays away once you’ve satisfied it or distracted yourself from it.

You find yourself rationalizing with yourself why you should break your own rules about how much you can take and how often. For example you might only let yourself drink alcohol every four days but start thinking that three days is actually close enough to four days, right? Especially if this happens regularly.

You’re using it so often that you feel the need to lie about how much you use because other people might think it’s concerning

If the substance or activity is nearby it’s genuinely difficult to not consume it or participate in it in a way that’s really frustrating.

You feel bad when you’re not on it and your brain tells you “if you just take the thing you wouldn’t feel this way”

You can only feel “whole” or “normal” when you’re on a substance even though it’s a recreational drug

And if you read this and think you might be addicted to something, don’t panic and don’t feel ashamed. Realizing you’re addicted to something isn’t a failure. It’s more information about your health that you can use to manage your condition, whether you want to get rid of your addiction or not.

[danceundersparklinglights]

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

[zooophagous]

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

[joshgrobanscock]

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money

[letsoulswander]

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

[cephalopodvictorious]

It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

yeah okay ill reblog that

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.

[kurulover]

I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually

[rysingsun]

had an anxiety attack at work yesterday. tried holding it back for like half an hour, realized i was feeling depersonalization (probably not great when i would need to be looking after small children), so i asked a coworker if they could step in for me for a few minutes.

my other coworker— who my brain insisted would be mad at me for this asked if i was okay (i’d been crying and i’m sure the hyperventilating wasn’t being fully held back) and told me we had enough people and i could go take a walk if i needed to. i said i was going to go wash my face and then i’d be ready to do my duties.

i went into the bathroom and hyperventilated. had to sit because my legs were giving out. part of me panicked a little more because i’ve had hour long anxiety attacks before and surely i would not be given that much grace at a JOB. just focus on letting it out. let out the panic i held back. i felt dizzy but i was able to slow my breathing again, wash my face, and return to the room. i asked one of the kids for a hug, and they happily ran over and gave me one. i needed that. my coworker gave a couple options for support to get through the next twenty minutes, asking which would help me the most in the moment. and then later that afternoon that coworker THANKED ME for how much I do to help every day.

all this to say— people are kind. sometimes i forget with how cruel my brain can be. i feel lucky that i was in a supportive environment when that happened. my mom typically reacted very differently to my anxiety attacks.

i used to be unable to calm myself that quickly. there was a time i genuinely needed someone else physically there to hold me and calm me down. maybe that’s still true sometimes, im not sure. i don’t have anxiety attacks nearly as often as i used to. but i calmed down quickly yesterday. and it didn’t ruin the rest of my day— though the exhaustion is an unavoidable side effect. it feels like proof that things are better than they were years ago.

I take it back. Wish I had a job where I never had to interact with people.
