i love when people say "i’d read your book!" like girl me too unfortunately i haven’t written it yet because i am trapped in a cycle of procrastination and the feeling of impending doom

its human nature to want a bunch of small jars

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.

This is so beautiful. People found a man hundreds of years dead and didn't see a piece of history; they just saw a man, possibly murdered, who deserved the proper burial he wasn't given. God indeed knows who He was and I think He was pleased to see so much empathy and effort from His church for someone who could never thank them.

sexy lamp test but for kids in fiction. Antique Vase Test. if the kid can be replaced with an antique vase (or similar valuable object) then you’ve failed to depict a person with agency and have instead written a Stakes Raiser

I really dislike when people lack true manners. And I’m not talking about basic things like chewing with your mouth closed or saying thank you. I’m talking about having a genuine respect for others — gracefully making space for people on the sidewalk, choosing your words thoughtfully, and lifting others up with kind compliments. It’s about allowing others to have the first share or the best seat, and being able to take a deep breath and move on from conflicts, without needing anything in return. It’s not about neglecting yourself to serve others, but knowing there’s a beautiful balance. It warms my heart whenever I feel and see it happen.

I see we're learning about the flaming hot cheeto earthquake proof sarcophagus again

This is one of those projects where you just know the author wrote a big long artist's statement for a sculpture course about how it's a critique of capitalism or something just so they could get academic credit for doing something unhinged

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

made a post about how I'm relieved and excited to be alive in 2026 and how I'm glad I exist in a time where music and education and communication are so expansive and accessible and said post wasn't even up for a single hour before someone started declaring that actually there are evil revolting breaches of human rights happening right now. not even an hour

this is kind of beautiful. I reckon we should all fabricate tweets from faint half-remembrances and letter them by hand instead of using screenshots

in the bible in revelations i think or somewhere, it warns you that near the end times, false prophets will pop up claiming to be the messiah. do you ever think scholars from like 700 years ago studying the bible would have thought this would be one of them

Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to be a long haired man

"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically
