Your mom finding her friend at a store is like unskippable cutscenes
The fucking worst is that as I get older i completly understand the interest to catch up an unreasonable long time because turns out adults just dont get enough time to hang with friends, so catch up next to the Aldi cheese aisle it is
you can see the increasing age of tumblr users, these posts are like tree rings.
thank god for the mythbusters though because it used to be that whenever i knew i had insomnia i’d just kind of accept it and stay up doing whatever until my morning classes and spend the day feeling like shit
but then they did an episode where they established that even just fucking laying there for a half hour, not even sleeping just laying there and not even for an hour, makes a significant difference and you’ll feel way better
it has made a huge difference in my life to know that it’s okay if i can’t fall asleep, it takes a lot of the pressure off and ironically helps me fall asleep better
…i did not know this, thank you
If anyone wants to look it up, the episode was specifically the Deadliest Catch crossover ep, and the myth was that it’s better/safer when working a 30 hour shift to take a 20 minute nap every six hours rather than try to power through. They did an obstacle course test, one without naps and one with, and even though they couldn’t even sleep half the time the naps resulted in their scores doubling.
So actually I undersold it, even if it’s 7:40 and your alarm goes off at 8 just lie down and shut your eyes and it will still be better than nothing
A temperature chart for my fellow Americans who can’t do the Celsius-Fahrenheit equation from memory and for people in the civilized countries who’re too busy making fun of Fahrenheit to do the conversions themselves.
If you do want to go toe to toe with cops don’t do it at the main protest in your area. Start shit across town and split the cops’ resources. “Open a second front” so to speak and take some of the heat off of the people they have absolutely no qualms about harming. Split up and open up a third front, a fourth. Keep moving and keep them moving.
even the cities with the largest police budgets only have enough force multipliers for one big containment
divide and conquer remains both a good tactic and good warning
Babies don’t forget there’s an Etsy boycott from April 11-18 to protest the higher service fees recently instated for shop owners despite the fact that the company reported record profits last year. Etsy is usually one of my go-tos but I am absolutely going to stay off for the week. Without its vendors (many of whom are independent artists/creators) Etsy is literally nothing, and if these new policies are undermining their ability to stay on the site without risking their financial stability then they 100% deserve our support. No Etsy this week!!!
I want a
love that wakes up every morning and feels lucky to have me. I want a love
without hesitation, without doubt. A love that can say, “yes, yes I am in love
with you” without having to stutter at the question. I want a love that keeps
me safe, but that at the same time pulls me towards the things that I am too
scared to do alone. I want a love that holds my hand, that says “I am here, I
am here”. A love that never lets me forget it. I want a love that never makes
me feel alone, a love that understands, or at the least, tries to. I want a
love that never curses me out in the middle of the street, a love that never
frightens me. A love that uses their voice kindly, a love that understands my
body still remembers what it is like to be dragged out into the mud of
everything unholy. I want a love that knows I will always carry that trauma
with me, a love that never asks me to ‘just get over it’. I want a love that
understands not all the poems will be about them, a love that understands that
there was something before this, before him, and it wasn’t always kind. wasn’t
always a good place to be, wasn’t where my heart was safe. A love that
understands I must tell these stories, a love that understands my survival
depends on this. I want a love that always calls me back. A love that moves its
own feet towards apologies whenever and wherever they are needed. I want a love
that takes my hands and says, thank you. A love that appreciates me. A love
that knows that although I am a woman drowned in sorrow and grief, I am still
here, and I am still trying. I want a love that is my personal hype man, a man
that doesn’t just tell me I am beautiful, but makes me feel it. A love that
says, “ you are kind”, “you are smart”, “you are capable of anything”. I want a
love that stands up first in a crowd full of people for me, even if they must
stand alone. I want a love that isn’t afraid of what the rest of the world thinks,
because they know that love is better without boundaries. A love that knows
that love is better when you stop caring about what other people think of it. A
love that doesn’t look for other people’s approval to love me. I want a love
that never makes me feel unworthy. I want a love brave enough to stay, a love
that wants to stay, a love that says, “things aren’t always easy, but this is
where my heart is, this is where I want to be”.
One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.
My pronouns are I/me and the rest is for someone else to deal with because I have better things to do.
Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?
This is it. The singular most uplifting video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. When Sam said there’s good in the world worth fighting for he meant this.
