Pictures of people I love getting old, I kinda like. For some reason this beautiful set is way harder to look at.

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”

It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!

[theshantiestme11ophone]

These made me feel better

[thelifeofatubaplayer]

Also, “great minds think alike” ends with “but fools rarely differ”

It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

[simontarr]

Well if that wasn't the Tumblr-iest thing I've ever written.

[simontarr]

I know at one point I felt joyful about my job. And my field of expertise. But I'm not sure I remember what that feels like.

[simontarr]

I accept that I don't get things and that's on me. But I REALLY DON'T GET gender reveal parties.

Persuasion is at the core of norm creation, emergence of collective action, and solutions to ‘tragedy of the commons’ problems. In this paper, we show that the directionality of friendship ties affect the extent to which individuals can influence the behavior of each other.

I saw that NYT piece “Do Your Friends Actually Like You?” and went back to this original article at PLOSone by Almaatouq et al. After reading I realized that the person whose Tumblr originally showed me the NYT piece—whose posts I’d been liking and commenting on, who I thought was a mutually engaging entity with me—did not in fact follow me at all and probably didn’t know that I even existed outside an extra heart on a selfie. I thought we were conversing, but they thought I was a fan. The “predictability of reciprocity” of a connection seems to apply here, where “there are likely to be differences in communication when the alters believe the ego to be their friend versus when they do not” (Almaatouq 2016).

Anyway fuck it, I unfollowed the person. And many others. I’m not here to be a fan.
