“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)

The whole photo is gold but I especially like that the automated feeder is taped to the fucking floor.

And she is SO offended about it

optimization makes so many things better and safer and easier, but we also lose so much sauce and juice. like how every car now is a ridiculous jelly bean because it's all crumple zone so you can flip your car 6 times going 80 mph and walk away from the accident, but the price you pay is that your car is a big dumb jelly bean, and we will never look as cool as they did in the 70s, when 1 milliom people died every day bc they got distracted lighting their daughter's cigarette for her and drove their 10,000 pound oldsmobile cutlass through the steel railing of a bridge and instantly sank to the bottom of a river
