My Cup Of Tea

did you guys know that there are religions out there where actual, literal belief isn’t all that important? i’ve only ever been around christianity where belief is like, the number one most important thing ever, so i never even considered that there are cultures out there where the question of “is this all real” never comes up because it doesn’t matter

and you can also belong to multiple religions that seem to contradict one another, and you don’t have to come up with some extra lore to tie them together. you can just be both.

sorry for not answering messages for three thousand years i have. Stew. in place of a brain. you know how it is

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit

big fan of the way moles sit in dirt with their arms out like they’re in a hot tub

odysseus tying himself to the mast but he's doing some proto shibari type shit to make his tits look really good and his crew isn't saying anything but it's kind of hard not to notice

“my friend is ALWAYS sick and cancelling our plans” it sounds like your friends life suuucks and you should check on them

One of the worst parts of being chronically ill is how lonely it gets. You need a community to help you but you realize just how conditional your friendships are on you being able bodied.

harsh words from one of the muppet babies

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

Women are like diamonds since they are composed primarily of carbon.
