parents will be like “you’ve changed” and it’s just you started doing the things that make you comfortable that you always wanted to do but was too scared to express your wants and needs

OP did it hurt when Apollo's dodgeball hit you and made you write that story?

not to be all "these two words will change your life" or whatever, but I promise you, programming in "good catch!" as your response to people correcting you/pointing out errors or whatever removes so much friction from interactions, and comes with a delightful happy meal toy of "not hating yourself so much for making mistakes"

I use "I stand corrected" a lot. The mild silliness of the outdated language makes it work for me.

"Just because I'm right, doesn't mean I'm being helpful" is a vastly underrated thought process that I strongly encourage others to get comfortable with

Hey op thanks for fundamentally rearranging my molecules in some helpful way this fine evening

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.

If you're a new writer and you're asking yourself "is this too personal, is this too much, will people think this is weird" that feeling is the exact location of your actual voice. The stuff that makes you want to close the laptop is the stuff nobody else could write. The safe version is always worse. Always. I have never once read something and thought "this would have been better if it was a little less honest." go further. It's always go further.

I hate trying to talk about nandermo and why I'm so obsessed with them to ppl who've never seen the show. Like how do I tell you there was a full episode where guillermo was nandor's dick lawyer to a djinn and ended up negotiating that nandor has the world's biggest dick but has to think about Guillermo every time he uses it but it still never went canon without sounding like I'm insane

Every time I think I'm in the trenches in a new fandom I look at this post and laugh. Gotta stay #humble

It's canon to ME okay?? *Sobs*

I need my weird alone time or I will explode

let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no

i like how all cats regardless of species can either look rlly badass and cool or just incredibly silly stupid
