Why did everything get smaller on this fucking app. Why are they just doing anything with the updates

"but they have to get the funding somehow!" so do the children's charities that are trying to make up for the cutting of USAid but you don't see them selling cigarettes to children or something.

In every relationship or friendship worth having, there will be inevitable moments of awkwardness, anger, miscommunication, frustration, or impatience. It’s how each person decides to navigate that that determines how much they care about one another. If you internalize those moments as an overarching statement that speaks louder than all the good times you had with this person, you are practically shooting yourself in the foot. If you decide to walk away at natural moments of friction, either that person didn’t matter all that much to you, or you do care but elect to self-sabotage all moments of connection because you fear abandonment or negative reactions from people you care about. Either way this is unsustainable and guarantees a lifetime of loneliness.

This is bidirectional btw. So often posts that address relationships fail to take a look at how both parties behave. If the person decides to cut you off for minuscule things too, the same logic applies — they’re just not worth it. Empathy is great but as I get older I’ve really learned the value of just looking at a person and saying “sucks to be you” tbh

there are countries that ban girls from getting an education so i really don't give a fuck if some boys have a hard time at school because they don't want to behave and do their work

contrary to social media developers’ beliefs i have literally never once wanted to see posts in anything other than chronological order

mean girl nurse meme had everything to do with degrading the workers who were literally on the front lines of the pandemic but this site's demographic ate it up and still regurgitates it word for word like they've done something clever

sometimes people make it really obvious that they think nurses are supposed to be an irreproachable class of self-sacrificing secular nuns as opposed to like. a group of regular human beings doing a job

the frequency with which tumblr users will make it clear that they are 100% onboard with violence toward healthcare workers is truly wild

thinking about the Very Popular Post by a Very Popular User that basically said nurses deserved it because patients are overcharged (not nurses’ faults) and often in frustrating situations/don’t feel satisfied with their pain management (neither of which is likely to be entirely or at all nurses’ faults), and OP was like “actually I’ve been chronically ill for 10 years I’m ALLOWED to think nurses deserve to get beat up” no actually you’re not!! You’re not. there isn’t an amount of sick you can be where it’s suddenly okay to snicker at and encourage violence against a group of people who are overwhelmingly female and underpaid, extremely often (in the us) woc, and who are not the fucking reason healthcare sucks! it’s really uhhh troubling frankly

the funniest and most tragic moment in steven universe is the scene that implies that Pearl pulls bitches like a professional dog walker but doesn't know how phones work so her place on earth is being a life-changing futch fling for every dyke on the east coast there's probably a gay bar in maryland where they talk about the twiggy bird chick that eats milf pussy like it's the last edible thing on earth and they dont even know about the city full of thousand year old neon lesbian amazons who are pent up 24/7 from The War and leaving room for jesus cause they're always hanging out with their softboy nephew who might be the second coming of christ

In a single sentence, no less.
