I reject all incarnations of the addams family written like spooky goths who hate normies. The joke is that they're warm and welcoming and they don't even know that they're weird. Still might maim you though because they also think everyone else is into hardcore sadomasochism.
i hate looking at the thermometer and seeing some fuckass number like 2
come the fuck on
god i remembered that fucking “little white cuck ball” picture and im cackling
THIS WAS A REAL CRITICISM OF STAR WARS IT GETS ME EVERY FUCKING TIME
Normalize toys during sex. Roll that hot wheels over them titties. Skurt.🏎
Car dependency is so deeply engrained in the United States that we don’t dare to imagine rolling a z-scale Amtrak ALC-42 over them titties. Choo. 🚊
The Serenity Prayer - Much tighter than before, nearly finished. This is more sophisticated than it probably looks as a piece of lettering to most. It breaks many of the rules in an informed and measured way, building on the work of people like Georg Bocskay.
“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

When I was a (unmedicated, undiagnosed ADHD) kid, like, under 12, my room was a mess all the time. Not shocking.
I struggled keeping it clean.
I struggled getting it clean.
I would sincerely put in quite a bit of effort and be really proud of the progress I made. Then one of my parents would come check and see how I was doing.
"Well, you've still got a long way to go."
That sentence. I was like, 11 when my parents were saying that to me. It was crushing. All my pride and satisfaction with my work was completely gone. All my effort was worthless to them. All they saw what everything I didn't do.
At the age of ELEVEN, I knew that wasn't right. That wasn't fair. I swore to myself I would never invalidate someone's work like that.
Now, at 30, I catch myself thinking 'I cleaned up, but my apartment is still so messy.' and I flashback to standing in my bedroom as a child, hearing those fucking words from my parents.
'No. I wouldn't invalidate someone else's work. I'm not going to invalidate my own. I did good. I made progress.' and I'll list the things that I DID get done to myself.
You deserve credit for all the progress you make.
You deserve credit for all the work you do.
It doesn't matter how much work you have left.
What you accomplish, no matter how small, counts. Even when what you accomplished was taking a day to rest and recharge and give yourself a break.
Never let anyone invalidate your work. Not even you.
“you TOUCHE miette???”
This is so real
HOLD ON I HAVE A GIF FOR THIS
yes ive been waiting for my moment
fair enough
With some people it’s like yeah you don’t use gay as an insult anymore but do you still argue with someone when they say they look gay in an outfit
Recently my dad was giving away some flannels, and he offered to let me look through them and take what I wanted. I said “thank you for donating to the Jane dressing like a lesbian foundation” and he said why would you say that? You don’t look like that
also a few weeks ago I visited my aunt and (clearly elated) told her that the barista in the coffee shop had called my outfit soft butch and I was over the moon about it. She said “oh what a rude thing to say, it’s not like that at all.”
Girl I WANT to look gay. I want to look butch!! I am BEAMING telling you about this! Read the room!
The same goes for the word fat by the way. It is not enough to just not call somebody fat if you have a problem with someone else calling themselves fat you are an asshole.
Y’all should reblog this post with the last part attached. It was not an afterthought, it was made within seconds of the other post. Fat is also not a dirty word.
an important addition

Damn babe that’s crazy *continues to butter my biscuit*
