Not actually a squid

Figuring things out

Orpheus fans. I know you love this quote from Ovid

But can I humbly present this for your consideration, also from the Metamorphosis

They got their happy ending, in the end

been trying to let go of some of the hate in my heart but it’s load-bearing haterism at this point

Orpheus failed. He failed!! He lost! He wasn’t supposed to look back, and he did.

But he had something worth trying for, worth losing in the first place. That’s the important part. That’s where love is.

Our daily moral panic about muh birth rates becomes so much darker when you learn how much of it is the sharp decrease in teen pregnancy

[bisexualhunterbiden]

This plus the fact that they are actually NOT happy that more 40+ year old women are getting pregnant (in no small part due to the increasing availability of fertility treatments and IVF).

They don't want you to have 3 kids in your 30s to early 40s. They want you to have 3 kids by the time you're 22.

TW: religion and homophobia!!

Is this a safe space to say that i just don’t think im ever going to be able to reconcile being queer and catholic. I’m going to have to just accept it and move on one day.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

I neeeeed to stop getting high. I don’t have fun, it makes me so sad/scared, I feel like I’m not real… but at the same time, I love drugs

[squidnerds]

I do think that scene in Obsession where Nicki snaps out and goes “wait what the fuck” sincerely did wonders for my brain development.

Like why am I letting a man who doesn’t even like me commit psychological terrorism??? To me??

I’ll let it go when I stop thinking about it, I’ll stop thinking about it when I stop picking at the scab.When I don’t scratch this itch. When I turn down the next drink offered. When my impulse rests and lets go of me. When it isn’t easier to be this way.

[squidnerds]

I think I’ve always felt broken so I won’t feel like I’m myself if I’m fixed

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

affirmations they will not kill me at work today. it is not in my job description to get killed. if they did kill me at work that would be weird and probably not worth it for them
