obsessed with the guy sitting next to me on the bus who i caught googling "what is commie dyke" after seeing my buttons

Ever since I first heard the word grotto I knew it was a valuable word. When I first heard the word grotto I knew it could be used for great things. The word grotto refers to a cavity in the earth. The word grotto means a small hole or cavern in rock or other substrate like ice, especially when used as shelter. The word grotto is related to crypt, and it is related to grotesque. Grottoes can also be built. Artificial grottoes are sometimes built in gardens. Sometimes people live in grottoes. There have been people that go into grottoes and live in them. There have been people that lived in a grotto for a long time. Sometimes people store food and other supplies in grottoes. Sometimes there are religious things in grottoes. People like to put items in grottos for safekeeping, because grottoes are useful for shelter. When I first saw the word grotto I knew it had a lot of meaning and meant something special. When I think of grottoes I think they are unique.

Not even to mention an underwater grotto

In my last essay I discussed the meaning and use of grotto. I concluded grotto was a unique and special word with value. In this essay I will talk about grottoes and water. Grottoes sometimes have water in or around them. Grottoes are often near water or filled with water. It is important to say that grottoes are often made by water. Grottoes can be carved out through water eating away limestone. Features in limestone carved out by water are called karst features. Karst features are often found where limestone and water meet. Sometimes the water is there in the grotto when it floods and leaves the grotto when it doesn't flood. Sometimes floods happen daily and sometimes seasonally. Grottoes can be flooded often. There is a special grotto called the underwater grotto. The underwater grotto is found completely submerged in a body of water. The underwater grotto is completely flooded. These grottoes often have interesting things in them like ancient animals. Underwater grottoes can preserve old things. The underwater grotto is important in understanding how water and grottoes interact. One day I hope we can find all the underwater grottoes.

what gets me is that if everyone woke up tomorrow and went ohhh the weight loss industry is EVIL evil like killing and disabling people for profit including children who don't have medical rights evil, and was always an evil scam, and everyone in the industry woke up tomorrow and publicly apologized for being evil and donated every cent they had to helping people recover and their companies dissolved and blew up and every medical doctor woke up tomorrow and went ohhhh shit of course that was wrong and unhealthy for everyone, i have to go apologize and fix what ive done to all my fat patients, and every weight loss supplement turned into pure clear water and every weight scam business location exploded and was instantly transformed into a green park and playground and library and shelter, and everyone was suddenly awakened to the reality like a dancing plague had suddenly passed. if all that happened the industry could disappear tomorrow and literally nothing of value would be lost. at all. there is literally nothing good or redeeming about any of this. its pure shit. its entirely evil.

'everyone at indeed dot com kills themselves' comic is how i feel about the weight loss industry

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

HOP OFF MY DICKKKK!!! wait get back on i miss you

the thing abt diet culture is that there’s no way any junk food could possibly be more self destructive than viewing your own body as not only a separate entity from yourself but as an enemy to be conquered

The axe forgets. The tree forgets. The squirrels in the forest forget. Nobody remembers

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.

men need to be androgynous little rock sluts again. hair gel and cheap black nail polish are still sold in stores. chop chop

I forgot music existed for a second and thought rock sluts meant like really promiscuous geologists.

Folks forget how common a trope it was in movies from the 70s and 80s that the teenage boy would have a stack of racy or explicit magazines under his bed, or for teenage girls to swoon over the muscular lifeguard climbing or if the pool/ ocean. The awkwardness of "The Talk" in 90s media came up all the time and generally was a call from the parent for the teenager to be careful, rather than it being treated as SINFULL. Teenage sexuality was treated as funny because it was embarrassing for kids to get caught or be taught about it, but it wasn't this taboo subject that masses of people would jump to calling pedophilia.
