I love when desire leads to disappointment. It’s a classic

just saw a pigeon doing the puffed up courtship dance thing to another pigeon, and as he was strutting around he suddenly stopped for a split second to do a very brief preen-peck at his own side, then returned to the strutting around. and i surprised myself by instantly losing respect for the male pigeon in that moment, like come on man i appreciate you had an itch or whatever but how is she supposed to feel special when you're getting distracted by bullshit like that? which on reflection i don't endorse, i mean those are pretty harsh dating norms i'm imposing on these pigeons, from a total outsider perspective, for no reason. probably not all girl pigeons are as uptight about that sort of thing as i would apparently be if i was a girl pigeon, maybe she even found it endearing who knows, i don't know her. it's none of my business really. sorry pigeons.

who up wasting their only shot at life through complete and utter inaction

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

If your parents wanted to hurt you, that doesn't say anything about who you are. They would hurt anyone who was born in your place. You were just there. You did nothing wrong. Being a child isn't a crime. Nobody should have hurt you over being a kid.

basketball players fight over the basketball because they are hypnotized before each game to believe it is their egg

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
