i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it
weird as fuck living in a culture where it's considered more impolite to speak up and defend yourself against someone treating you unfairly than it is for someone to be rude to you in the first place
older family members, coworkers, customers, and strangers in general can say the most batshit insane things to your face and somehow you're considered to be the "rude" one if you say "hey that wasn't cool of you to say"
do things you “grew out of”. jump in puddles, bake cookies with your mom, build something from legos, have a disney movie marathon, draw without any final product in mind, read a cringe-worthy YA novel, finger paint, sword fight and cast spells with sticks, chase after fireflies and butterflies, write dramatic diary entries, build pillow forts, sample multiple flavors of ice cream on the little spoons, roll down hills on sunny days, go sledding when there’s snow, never stop dreaming big.
“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.
Me getting slammed with notifications on this post in particular:
Americans will drive 15 hours, why the hell wouldn't we take a 15 hour train ride.
It’s currently more than 30 hours from Portland to LA by train, I take that train yearly and it is completely packed every time. People already take our terrible low-speed rail every day, you’re out of your mind if you think no one would take better high-speed rail
Oooh, what? I could get from Minneapolis to Los Angeles in the same time it takes me to get to Chicago?
Sign. Me. The. Fuck. Up.
i think you are not going to be able to actively serve and help social justice without first coming to terms with the fact that it might have downsides for you, personally.
helping disabled people sometimes helps able bodied people, yes, but we must accept being inconvenienced, too. feminism can benefit men, but it must also mean relinquishing privilege and changing your behavior. you will not be able to eat bananas and chocolate cheap, year-round, in the northern latitudes.
leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as you say they will have slightly reduced access to bananas
the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
those LED headlights make me so angry because they just completely obscure my vision and for no reason at allll. not a SINGLE PERSON needs that sort of light coming from their cadillac escalade ESPECIALLY on a pitch dark road like ARE YOU KIDDING? if there’s a turn coming up on a dark road and you’re opposite me with those headlights we’re both dead
“Shame must change sides.”
Gisele Pelicot is one of the bravest and most heroic people alive.
Her husband, Dominique Pelicot, has just been found guilty.
"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"
But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.
It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?
i hate viruses so fucking much. literally getting attacked by a fucking shape. a concept. consumes no energy. responds to no stimuli. its only existence is to fuck with you. like fuck offf
prev's tags are too good not to save
Very annoy when this happens
Where’s that post that says how tumblr is able to identify experiences that we don’t bring up, but are quite universal
Thirty new measles cases were reported this week in Canada, bringing the total number in Canada to 130 in 2024.
Thirty new measles cases were reported this week in Canada, most of them in New Brunswick.
That brings the total number of cases reported in Canada to 130 in 2024, a significant jump from the 12 total cases reported last year.
The latest data, published Friday, tracks cases reported Nov. 3 – 9, 2024. The majority of the cases are in New Brunswick and are part of a larger outbreak that has seen 44 people contract measles in the Fredericton and Upper Saint John River Valley area.

in case you are worried, the article goes on to say,
The New Brunswick infections are all related to one case linked to international travel, and none of those infected had been immunized against measles, according to health officials. Three cases were also detected in Ontario this week, which has reported 34 cases to date. Six provinces have reported cases this year, including Quebec with 53, and Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan with one each. So far, 65 per cent of measles cases have been in unvaccinated individuals, with a further 18 per cent having unknown vaccination status.
here's the canada health services informational page on measles measles is highly contagious and the best defense is to be vaccinated. most children born in canada after 1970 get the MMRV vaccine which covers measels.
Also, if you’re an adult child of anti-vaccine parents or for other reasons aren’t sure if you were vaccinated as a kid, it’s never too late to look into it! The benefits of being vaccinated as an adult are just as good and measles is a miserable disease worth protecting yourself from.
It probably varies by province/territory but a good starting place would be to take your health card to a pharmacy or physician and ask them to look it up.
Any health care provider worth their salt should be thrilled to outline a vaccine update plan for someone newly interested in addressing missed “childhood” preventative medicine.
New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream
The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.
My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.
I think this is the first time I've ever been wowed by "this ISN'T a painting"!
wow, yeah, that... that looks very obviously like a painting. i can't even imagine how you get a set to look like that.
look at how the costumes are a mix of reflective satin and gauzy folds and chunky gilt ribbons and feather boas. the human figures *blend* into the painterly background, because their clothes and hair are constructed to have *brushstrokes*. that's absolutely magnificent.
unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things
I won't ever be able to understand the people who complain about the lighting in the early X files seasons. like what do you mean you don't see the appeal of twin flashlight beams in the dark.
doesn't this fill you with hope for humanity? don't you feel the child-like sense of adventure?
you're telling me you don't see the beauty of the silhouettes against the night sky?
the intimacy that comes from two people who only trust each other? you won't be able to tell that story under a bright light. it's the hushed whispers while standing very close together in an empty room, it's the shadows that lurk in the corners. that's the show's central thesis. this is also, simply put, art.
Anyone who complains about the lighting during the Vancouver years is an idiot. Full stop. No exceptions exist.
