Come, benthic brethren!

i haven't got ANY noticeable psychological issues #NormalGirl

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

okay so the problem with nonfags' analysis of homoeroticism in art is that most of you are very very bad at recognizing actual homoeroticism. I say this as a gay man.

like most of what you guys think is homoeroticism is actually just "gay bravado", which is a process where straight men ritually reinforce their own heterosexuality by joking about gay sex with each other. It's a form of homophobia. The joke is that gay sex is repulsive, bizarre, and inconceivable for them to actually engage in. it's incredibly common and I can't believe we're still having this discussion honestly

prev tags: #it does rub me the wrong way when people say men who hate women must be gay/that straight male culture is gay#like i know that its not the intention but youre still using gay as an insult there yk #but at the end of the day these men who hate women are mostly not attracted to men#because that would require a personal authentic relationship to their sexuality that they do not have #theyre literally hetero-sexual#their sexual identity is being straight#not having genuine and sincere attraction to women as human beings#but being straight

I have no strong feelings about Hamilton the musical one way or another, but the sentence "I wasn't aware that was something a person could do" is such a perfect way to precisely express the kind of "not judging, just baffled" response people sometimes inspire in me with their antics and activities.

put out some water to boil then accidentally fell asleep and when i woke up there was a terrible smell and no water in the pot. so in a sense i succeeded at boiling water. perhaps more than i ever have

Ahh what the hell, gimme another unnamed layer! I ain't driving!

a new kind of angel has come to earth it's called transgender woman in her 30s

for a transgender woman your 20s are for struggling and suffering and clinging to the tiny scraps of joy you've foraged. they're for watching your life burn down and then rebuilding it and watching it burn down again and wondering if it will ever stop burning down. it doesn't feel like it will ever end, but after lying in your despair enough times you will start to notice that the scraps you've been collecting are forming a modest little pile. and, though you're left again with nothing but those little gold flecks, they are what will form into your halo when you turn 30

I love you

while I am talking to you about something gay and stupid a mosquito lands on my arm and sucks all my blood out in an instant, swelling to the size of a person as my remains flutter cartoonishly down to the ground, and it continues the conversation where I left off in a high pitched approximation of my voice

in case anyone's wondering, the maximum ssi amount in 2026 is $993 a month. they cut that if you get any other money from any other source at all. like, if someone tries to give you money for christmas presents or you try to do some work for uber so you can save up for something, ssi will take it out of your monthly amount so you basically never go over $993. they really, really hate us.

Meanwhile congress is saying they need insider stock trading to line their pockets because their $174,000+ salaries aren’t enough to provide for their families…. 😒

what do you mean my mutuals don’t look like their icons?!?!!?
