crazy how much ppl do not care that you are literally losing your mind if you are a quiet woman who doesn’t inconvenience others much

[fairycosmos]

had a snack and realized this sounds very jokerfied but i am literally right

[somethinginthestatic]

being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all

tv shows will have little girl characters whose main trait is interest in tea parties and stuff but the little actor is like 9 and mm no sorry. by that age they are roleplaying historical warrior cats during the hundred years war

[flightyfinch]

if a 9 yr old girl hands you a pretend teacup you need to start preparing for the best poisoning performance of your life

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!

So if you didn’t know that…now you do

[rogha]

do you know that i think of this post every time i can’t sleep op. what mythbusters did for you, you have done for a great many others.

I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general). I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. I cannot unhave a child. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer.

So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. The default will be to remain childfree. Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. Until/unless I develop really strong feelings about wanting to have children, I won’t have them, even if that means I never end up having them at all.

Sometimes you just come across something that puts into words what you have yet been unable to.

As someone who has kids, yes yes yes. I tell people this who are on the fence. It’s an absolute yes or don’t do it. You need to REALLY want to have kids with all your heart and soul. Because you go through periods where it’s so hard. And no matter how much you want that baby (or babies because lol surprise! you get what you get!) you might have a moment or many, many moments of “oh my god what have we done” and you can’t go back. Not ever. And the only thing that pushes you forward is how much you wanted your life to have children in it, for all the hard that they bring, and the knowing that you’d rather have that life with all its difficulties than not.

on the flip side of that Toxic Skincare Obsession post: I’m tired of seeing sun protection presented as another frivolous, unnecessary product of the patriarchy

“I’m going to sit in the sun with wine and enjoy it and fuck anti-aging products like SPF!” I mean yes normalize and celebrate people- especially women -not looking 22 forever but also

Skin Cancer Is Bad Maybe?
