ate a slice of cake. the cake was good. ok bye
never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"
"Adults can change their circumstances; children cannot. Children are powerless, and in difficult situations they are the victims of every sorrow and mischance and rage around them, for children feel all of these things but without any of the ability that adults have to change them. Whatever can take a child beyond such circumstances, therefore, is an alleviation and a blessing."
I find this passage from the Mary Oliver essay "Staying Alive" very poignant and true.
i am so lonely but every text message i receive has me throwing my phone across the room
this is what every movie is framed like now
I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
taylor swift would release a 30th special edition of the tortured poets department to block the vampire lestats spot on the billboard chart and within 24 hrs travis kelce would go missing
outside of tumblr, discussions of Gone Girl fall along the lines of “well everyone knows Amy was the REAL villain. it’s in the text.” and i just have to disagree. but no one cares about my stiff upper lip. but i do.
i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.
Do you and your sibling(s) have a matching set of first names?
yes, there is a distinct logic in how our parents named us
not specifically but our names have similar vibes
no, our names sound very different
multiple siblings with multiple cases
nuance / only child / see results
By that I mean if you and your sibling(s) are all named after the same fictional story or group of people, have alliterating names, named in alphabetical order—anything that intentionally indicates you are from the same family. I see it with fictional siblings all the time, but barely know anyone like this in real life.
stop posting about your badly behaved dog i mean husband online if you’re going to get upset with the people telling you he’s a bite risk. “look at what my husband packed me for my lunch” and it’s the most insulting low effort assortment of snacks you’ve ever seen accompanied with a note that says “i see you as subhuman”. “ugh guys stop telling me my husband doesn’t respect me you’re not the ones in the relationship you don’t know what he’s really like” yes i do and i think you should have him put down.
im completely addicted to Open Link in New Tab
