To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

perhaps a stale take from someone who was a dedicated markiplier fan from like 2017-2019 but didn’t get back in after iron lung but like I do think you can draw a line between old and new school markiplier fans depending on if they respond to bloodymary breaching containment with “OH GOD HE KNOWS AHH THATS SO CRINGE” or “yeah no shit mark, you’re late to your own party”

My shitty transphobic sister texted last night. We don’t really talk because of the aforementioned adjectives but last night she was apologizing for ruining Santa for me and saying that must have been traumatic and how sorry she was.

And I don’t want to talk, and she’ll win if I respond but I really want to be like, “That’s not even close to the most traumatic thing you’ve said to me and number one on the list is: ‘trans people don’t deserve rights’.”

[foldingfittedsheets]

Ugh I wasn’t strong enough to resist and now I’m full of anxiety.

[foldingfittedsheets]

Reached out to my cousin and he gave some great advice that I’m gonna post cause someone else might need this today:

The way I see it, society is fully wrong to place family in a place of entitlement in one's life. We don't choose our birth family. In a fully neutral, objective way... our existence is compelled by our parents. It's backwards for obligations to be placed on us as a result of that. When we *meet* people, they have to earn *and maintain* their place in our lives. It makes sense that family gets a shortcut past earning their way into one's life in the first place... but like everyone else they still need to maintain it.

When people do things to hurt you and refuse to listen when you say it's hurting you... that's not just failing to maintain the relationship. It's actively breaking it. And even if we grant some extra leniency to family, there's a limit. We don't owe anyone the privilege of causing us pain.

So I finally blocked her number. My parents will be disappointed, but I don’t care. I want to be done feeling the huge mess of negative feelings every time she reached out.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

[word-for-today]

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

[steelblue8]

Reblog if you are a freak who is justifying their gross actions

[inejeverdeen]

The Good Place really went off when they had Eleanor talk about her mother changing. Like, they really hit the nail on the head.

like THIS??

This is EXACTLY how it feels to see someone you love, someone who should've treated you so much better than they did, grow and change for the better. Like, part of you knows that they're better now and you shouldn't be mad, but part of you is like, "Then why didn't they do this before? Where was this change when I needed it? Was the reason why they were so awful...me?".

[earhartsease]

it's okay to appreciate their change and still be angry for the impact they had on you before they changed - you're not under an obligation to feel different about the past, even if they've outgrown their old self and are apologetic about it - how you process your anger is your own deal, and their change doesn't invalidate it

[cyan-eyed-princet]

This episode hit very hard for me as someone who's mother has since gotten a lot better (though exactly to what extent those changes are premanent remains to be seen). I found myself continuously questioning why. Realistically the answer is always that that person couldn't change at that point in time, and it was never about you, but that doesn't make your anger and hurt any less important. You don't have to forgive them, regardless of what changes they have made. You are allowed to process these emotions for as long as you need.

happy iron lung day to all who celebrate

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names
