Literally always take headphones with you. If you decide that you probably won't need them today, that's the devil talking. You will. You will

you've met me at a very "yeah i'm trying to work on that" time in my life

the way the entire plot of iwtv relies on the fact that louis is insanely good looking.

this makes me think about how i always consdered jane austen’s books to be a lot creepier than ppl give them credit for. they’re cozy favorites of mine, but they’re not without their own horror (all my cozy favorites are a little frightening, a little sad). this feeling of pervasive inescapable imprisonment is part of it, but also most of austen’s happy endings are tinged with a reminder of something horrific. i remember watching the 95 movie adaptation of sense & sensibility with my mom and how we talked about the ending being really horrific, even if it’s a happy one – watching 16 year old marianne learn to love and settle with 50 year old alan rickman and be grateful about it! and knowing that this is indeed her best choice, just like darcy did indeed help lydia by paying for her marriage to wickham, despite what we know her life will be like. austen’s commitment to realism can be very terrifying, especially because she never lets you forget about women’s dependency on men, or all the other social shackles placed on her privileged heroines and their happy endings.

worst part of being an adult is how often youre forced to nag. you Have to be annoying or youre never getting anything done. which is unfortunate considering how common it is to teach kids to never nag and be annoying ever

a professional i am paying money doesnt show up w zero communication and IM the one who has to feel guilty for having to call him and ask whats going on. because when i was a little kid i would get yelled at for nagging. joke world

of all the stupid things i’ve posted on the internet it’s very baffling and awesome that #mytwig had such a lasting impact. anyway long live #mytwig

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

It will give you a far greater understanding of the world and make you a more interesting person if you follow the chain of influences on the things that you like as far back as you can go.

People sometimes ask me how I know about so many things and it really is mostly this and reading Wikipedia articles.
