Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think itās worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of oneās lungs
Sometimes I really want to take everyone under the age of 24 (as of 2026) by the shoulders and say:
"I'm really sorry that lockdown and the ongoing pandemic interrupted pivotal educational and social/emotional development moments for you. You have an uphill battle towards adjusting to a lot of community based efforts because you experienced a mass trauma during an incredibly important time in your life where you should have physically been around your peers learning to engage in shared community. There is no "but" here, I'm genuinely really sorry. Something many of us consider key points in our interpersonal growth as youths was taken from you, not without reason but without care for its impact on you. I hope you know we are eternally allies in our struggles and if that is something you struggle to know I hope you can learn it someday."
Because so many of the angriest, most disenfranchised people I see on this website are under 24 and I often try to put younger people's behavior in the context of where they might have been 2020. I've seen the impact on my siblings and their peers+friends first hand, all ages 18-24. We've talked about how its impacted them, the isolation, the attachment to the internet, the anxieties and phobias and fears it developed in them due to the pandemic, the political unrest, and the responses to both that we've seen since. I know they're not the only ones and I know how much being marginalized also influences that impact too.
It's terrifying. I know it must be terrifying for a lot of the young people on Tumblr too. I hope one day we're able to bridge all of those complex feelings into something collective and positive so we can do our best to prevent similar traumas from happening to future generations.
My husbandās job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like āhuh guess I am a dad/older brother now.ā
She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know sheād be late and he was like wtf guess Iām gonna be late too because Iām coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.
Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now youāll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is likeĀ āwe came all the way here to pick you upā the mental image right now is fr.
Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (sheād dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didnāt doze off (concussion risk).
Youāve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said āhey please donāt be madā and heās never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
Girl: *calls for aid*
Every single dad packed into the car:
This is possibly my favorite response to this post
This girls father: Thanks for helping my daughter out guys
Your husband and all his coworkers:
love when an absolute nightmare of a character is introduced and all you can think is "jesus christ buddy what the hell is your problem" and the narrative gives you a hot minute to stew before explaining Exactly what is Their Problem. and you just sorta sit back in your metaphorical rocking chair and think "huh. yeah okay fair. that would do this to a person, yes."
hi. Flitigan ref sheet
some bullshit
Never stop hating

Make sure to read one's permissions ! Everyone cares about their boundaries so please respect them. If you're unsure just ask !
STAY HYDRATED AND TAKE CARE !! It's really hot in some countries so remember to drink water, take a break every now and then, stretch if you're sitting for a while and go outside a bit :]
(unserious joke post ahead) I'm gatekeeping guilt narratives from people who haven't committed atrocities. too many times have I encountered a story with a very promising guilt-ridden character and then we learn what they did and it was something no reasonable person could think was bad and the character just has low self worth about it or it was socially unacceptable in the setting. give me some Nuance to chew on. give me someone struggling to find the stable ground between accountability and self destruction. look me in the eye and tell me just how far your faith in the human power to grow extends. maybe shoot a man in reno just to watch him die then feel really fucked up about it and then your fiction will be better.
that is the most beautiful airfryer i have ever seen
found it! bruno smart air fryer in mint green BZK-KZ02TW-GR
Theirs a horse in the pingles
some bullshit
liking a character so much makes you kinda blind to reality a little bit, cuz im posting things like "she is SO beautiful... a total goddess. everyone wants her and adores her. she is so breathtakingly beautiful that everyone just stops where they are and vying for the opportunity just to look at her" and then you look at who i'm talking about and it's this
Had Ms. Thalassiephobia on the brain so I redrew fishing memes as her
Important last-minute addition. I canāt believe I didnāt think to do one of these ones
