welcome to knowhere

When I grow up I wanna be upper middle class.

I want like… a condo. And enough money to go on vacation sometimes. And maybe a mug.

Maybe I’m tired of going to thrift stores for mugs. Maybe I’m tired of the $5 target mugs. Maybe I want a really nice mug. Not like five hundred nice mugs. Just like… one or two would be nice. You know? Maybe I’d hang one on my wall. I think I’d like that. Owning a wall.

Again, people are misunderstanding my actual desires represented by the mug.

Every time we go into a Big Fancy Houseware shop just to browse, I stare wistful at the mugs. “We have enough mugs” I will say. But I know I my heart that all the mugs at home are mismatched and old, or secret Santa gifts from across the years. None of them have been purchased solely for the joy of buying a fancy new mug.

I made this post over a year ago now and inevitably whenever it gains more traction someone will pop up completely misunderstanding me, not understanding that I’d just like to be comfortable. I don’t actually want advice on how to acquire mugs. I own a couple of mugs. I’d just like to be able to have some security. Maybe a pool. Maybe I’d like to own a small amount of property. A condo, maybe. I’d like to be able to travel. You’ll notice that nobody here is giving advice on how to acquire a condo or a vacation. They’re just taking the mug part seriously. All I wanted to do was fantasize about a world where I don’t live in a studio apartment that takes up half of my paycheck in rent alone and maybe I have a stupid white dad device mounted on the wall to showcase my mug collection. Can everyone just shut the hell up about telling me how to acquire mugs? I don’t care about the traps of consumerism! I just wanna be able to afford to visit my aunts sometimes! And so what if I do want an expensive mug? That’s my goddamn business.

This is a perfect summary of what it’s like for try to communicate any idea that can’t fit neatly into a single sentence on Tumblr Dot Com.

Those “curtains were just blue” memes did irreparable damage to society.

Today is the only day you can reblog this meme, everyone

Happy 22/2/22 day!

I feel like this could be useful in my future

REBLOG THIS. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS GUIDES ARE, BOOST THIS SHIT

If I don’t reblog this one of these things is definitely going to happen to me

happy pride month to baby gays, GSA kids, "cringey" queer people who are loud and proud, neurodivergent queer people, lgbtq people with less known identities, people who wear pins and name tags with pronouns and pride flags, queer kids with dyed hair and trans teens who wear oversized hoodies, people with pride flag lock screens/wallpapers, people who show their pride in subtle ways, closeted kids who join online queer communities, lgbtq people who are in therapy and/or support groups, disabled and mentally ill queer people, black, indigenous, and other POC lgbtqs, queer people who don't fit conventional beauty standards, and queer people who don't think they're "queer enough." you are all incredibly valuable to our community, and you help us defy cishetero- and amatonormativity and make the world a more diverse and accepting place. happy pride.🌈🏳️‍🌈

this just made me feel so much better

CHANNING FUCKING TATUM

what

Channing Tatum is openly bisexual but people just….ignore it.

No the fuck i don’t. The fact that i have a chance with Channing Tatum regardless of my gender has gotten me through some bad days. Also David Bowie.

reblogging for all my bi kids out there who are trying to find bisexual role models. there are a lot of bi celebrities out there, it’s just that the media doesn’t like to accept that.

I love this post because the replies are like "for anyone who doesn't know what nestle did, they benefited from [insert human rights violation here]" but nestle has done SO many fucked up things you get a different topic in every comment

Nestle owns RALPH LAUREN?!? 

doesnt l'oréal also have like a bunch of class action lawsuits against it for using chemicals that cause hair loss in all of their shampoos and conditioners

Cannot not reblog.

boy am i glad this has so many notes

reblogging because it’s gotten even better since last time

I love this post!

A good post

the day I do not reblog this is the day I’m buried six feet under

My amazing friend is open for commissions!

Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.

Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.

Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.

Didn’t know this.

Reblogging again

THE AMOUNTS OF REBLOGS THIS HAS JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY

S I G N A L B O O S T

Reblog forever ! 

Similarly, if a Jew is saying the Shemonah Esrei prayer (whispered, moving only the mouth, standing facing east with legs together) don’t go in front unless there’s a barrier.

Noted!

every woman on tumblr should have this on their dash

And every man

Look how nobody’s yelling or arguing or making things into a competition. Look how this is to straight up educate people through a different perspective. Look how effective that makes the message.

The last one really hit me. I never really thought about something like that could actually impact a woman’s life. Damn…

Every person.

The last one made me cry a bit
