“they looked so much better in their 20s/30s”that’s cool. Personally i love when people are geriatric

[greelin]

complaining about someone having gray hairs is like complaining about there being stars in the sky. To me. do you look unkindly upon a field dotted with flowers? you sick bastard

People get hotter the older they get and that’s been one of the greatest discoveries of aging.

sometimes the answer to the feelings of 'i feel bad and listless and like nothing matters' is that basically no matter what we do as individuals , there are structural forces operating at such a scale that they make everything feel stupid and pointless . and yet we go on anyways,

[carbonatedgatorade]

every time i see someone in the Misery Pit (a place i have been many times before) i want to grab them by the shoulders and say it isn't you. it's not your fault. you're doing what you can but it's like trying to breathe underwater. i'm sorry you're submerged right now. but air does exist

[slacktron23]

Also a good checklist for when this hits is:

1. Eat and drink something

2. Go to the bathroom

3. Stand outside for like, ten minutes

My wife and I both have depression and while we’ve managed to develop decent personal coping mechanisms, with our kids we have had to implement the above because honestly going through it resolves a shocking amount of despair, which to be clear totally blows, there are huge systematic forces of evil beyond our capacity to change and sometimes eating a snack can make you feel better about it.

When a book is bad, oh well, the failed artistry of one rube, maybe co-authors. But when a movie is bad, and you consider the military-like scale of production, man-hours, the money involved: you must understand, it feels like I’ve been at war with the world for 29 years.

[slacktron23]

I think this is great actually because a certain amount of people on a bad movie must know that it is bad and after a certain point, being involved in a collective exercise in which you can only watch the ship gaily sail straight into the cliffs is freeing.

theres so much misinfo about seattle’s pride match omg shut up

[woman-respecter]

seattle’s world cup hosting comittee (seperate from fifa itself) decided to designate seattle’s june 26 game the pride match bc it’s pride weekend in seattle. after this decision was already made, egypt and iran happened to draw this match. officials from these countries got super worked up about this because they are both very homophobic societies. no players or anyone on the field will be forced to acknowledge that this is a pride match, it’s just a thing that seattle is doing. iran and egypt officials are trying to get fifa to ban pride flags at the stadium but fortunately fifa has so far refused.

some misconceptions i’ve seen is that this was “pinkwashing” (which is crazy, countries that actually hate gay people that bad would never “pinkwash”) or an intentional troll aimed at the countries involved. neither of these are true bc like i said, the pride match was CHOSEN BEFOREHAND.

anyone who has a problem with seattle sticking to their guns on this needs to remember that at the qatar world cup, lgbt fans had to hide their identities to respect the “local traditions” there, so it’s only fair that others respect our acceptance of homosexuality. we could go further in pushing our local culture, they’re lucky we aren’t making them listen to grunge music or put cream cheese on hot dogs.

[woman-respecter]

many are concerned about the CREAM CHEESE on a HOT DOG!

it’s just one topping on the SEATTLE DOG!

the cream cheese typically goes on the BUN and in my opinion should be used in moderation!

a seattle dog also has CARMELIZED ONIONS and (usually) JALAPEÑOS please don’t just throw cream cheese on your hot dog!

they are traditionally consumed while SHITFACED or EXPERIENCING SEATTLE SPORTS (derogatory)!

seattle has much more noble claims to culinary fame, such as introducing teriyaki to the mainland united states and creating the dutch baby pancake. i just thought seattle dogs would be funnier to mention.

please be RESPECTFUL of our batshit local cuisine as we are of yours!

[slacktron23]

On one hand, what the fuck. On the other hand that genuinely is both unique and absolutely on-brand for Seattle, so begrudgingly nodding.

Sorry Mattress Firm is just so incredibly filthy it gets me every time.

When you are posting on tumblr, do not add your commentary to the text of the post, in case others disagree with you and the original poster may come and say to you, "Make your own post," and then you will be in disgrace. But when you post, add your commentary to the tags, so that when the original poster sees them, they may say to you, ‘Friend, do not hide this in the tags'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who blog with you.
