Huge shout to my friend from an undergraduate philosophy program who started working out every single day, not for health benefits or to become conventionally attractive or whatever, but because -- and this is a direct quote -- he was concerned that otherwise he might "become lost in the world of signs and forget the things they signify".

being single sucks [remembers that romantic love isnt the gleaming beacon of salvation that will fix the chasm within me] #mychasm #isupportmychasm [remembers not to trivialize my emotions] but it is painful to never have been deemed worthy of that kind of lasting love [remembers how many incels there are] but honestly you should be totally self-sufficient and never want anything ever [remembers that im evil] im evil

let me be pervertly clear

duuuuuude you have GOT to come out tonight we're enacting cruelty upon those who have transgressed so badly that we can justify any act against them... and you KNOW we're interpreting our delight as moral righteousness... Yeah it's fucking crazyyyyyyy get an Uber

Tumblr’s one true talent is making me sick of things I’ve never seen or read or heard.

I sometimes envision myself being married to someone I can love for the rest of my life, but other times I’m envisioning some shit that honestly doesn’t matter at all

its crazy that cacti can be as rotund as they are. saw 4 over the past few days in the middle of nowhere wilderness with what i could describe as softball type shit going on. an optimal form of creature is an orb in the desert with like 3 huge flowers and you cannot even touch it btw (in case you were unaware of the dangers)
