An Obsessive Life

Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.

Love seeing little pawprints. So fucking magical. There was a little guy here.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

Love the asexual tranny too, btw

not every social interaction has to be rooted in sexuality and the second a lot of girls start denying their body to others they lose a lot of opportunities for connection and I think a lot of us pretend it just doesn't happen like that

It's true 🫩

ever since i was a little girl i knew i was doomed to take things too seriously and think about them forever

pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.

Imagine living pre-refrigeration. Pain in the arse.

and in early refrigeration. Death.

I'm pretty sure those blocks of ice were made via refrigeration.

I thought they were cut out of frozen lakes and transported into cities but maybe that was a myth I picked up living in the north woods near lots of lakes.

That's how it was done before refrigeration, and also during early refrigeration before the ice factories took over.

the sewing machine is like if a horse and an inkjet printer had a child
