Never cared for this one. At best it’s directionally true for some people. It’s important to not think of yourself as fundamentally and unchangeably X, it’s important to want to change and to take that first step. But come on now, this is unbearably glib. Changing your deep seated patterns of behavior is an ongoing and difficult process that requires dedication. “I don’t want to be like this” “Well today is the first day of the rest of your life” - okay sure. But no longer being X is simply not simple. Way too off base to be motivational imo

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

BEFORE you leave the hardware store with a huge 5 gallon shop vacuum you found on sale AND a mop with a longass handle ask yourself: did you bike here??

used bungie cords to secure both items in such a way that an old person walking by, looked at me, shook their head in pitying understanding and said, “i’ve been there. be careful out there, okay?”

Amazing that we call him the cookie clicker guy and not the "this website's hate mail game is insane" guy because one of those things had a much bigger impact on Tumblr culture than the other

Wait, listening to the same song on repeat is stimming?

I do not mean a normal amount of listening to the same song on repeat I mean that in October and November 2022 the only thing I listened to was Type O Negative's "Black No. 1" and I listened to it for 18 hours a day. This is, apparently, a kind of stimming.

*quietly hides the four playlists that I have that are just copies of one song from different recordings or releases*

Every vampire is all "oh drinking blood is better than any food, drugs, even sex" but I don't even believe them because all of them were literally made before the invention of really good drugs and before we got all the nice foods from the new world, so I don't trust any of their opinions. Lestat has never ate a potato and Armand hasn't ever even tasted tomaotes. The only guy I trust is Daniel Molloy who has probably tried every drug on earth, has definitely ate nice food and would be a valid judge on how good drinking blood really is.

Who says "drinking blood is actually about as good as crispy cheddar hash browns with sour cream and chives, ketamine, or enthusiastic but not particularly skilled head"?

being on an airplane is a lot like being in kindergarten

I wanna hear where you're going with this

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

"only a poor artisan blames his tools" is such bullshit, in almost every imaginable line of work the quality of the tools you have access to plays a massive role in the quality of the end product, sometimes in excess of the role played by individual skill! For example, some people have to code in javascript
