this will always be you.

"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious

in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.

the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.

anyone who says toddlers are incapable of emotional regulation/introspection are full of shit because i just watched this kid go from full-blown tantrum to verbal expression of frustration ("i don't want to play with her!") to analysis of root cause of frustration ("i really enjoy playing with her, i'm just so sad the playdate is ending soon") in like 3 minutes flat. with zero adult intervention beyond active listening. where is my mother i need her to take notes

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

[ID: manga panel of Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi yelling “We’ve been eating three square meals a day and getting plenty of sleep…” “And that makes us more serious about this than you are!!” /End ID]

Why do so many women infantilize themselves as soon as they get with a man like that mess is none of my business but it’s horrifying to watch he’s just some guy and you’re here like that’s my dada with his big boy uwu credit card what the hell are you even doing like actually

shut up whore get back to your vanilla shit or whatever

Bro gonna call dada on me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

huge fan of when characters love each other and are closely bonded in an explicitly nonromantic way. however ☝️ i am very much not a huge fan of what happens when characters like this are introduced to fandom

welcome to my farm where I keep my dark horse my black sheep my scapegoat and my underdog. my canary in the coal mine died ages ago

It’s a mess here: someone looked your gift dark horse in the mouth, led it to water, and jumped back on it. Your ducks aren’t in a row, someone counted the chickens before they hatched. Your geese are silly, your brown cows aren’t explaining how, and every one of these sheep is a wolf but they don’t even notice with the amount of wool over their eyes. I’m fining you one million gold coins.

it was the goat blame the goat
