underrated tumblr feature is being able to catch up to yourself on your dash. so there is an END POINT. and you can say “ah, I have reached where I left off, there is no more to see! I’ll take my leave now and come back later when there are new posts.” instead of being stuck forever in a bottomless algorithm pit digging deeper and deeper till you have to summon monumental strength to climb out
you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.
ID: Reminders from a slightly angry dietician. If you feel out of control around a food, more permission is often a more effective strategy than increased restriction. Feeling satisfied after a meal is not overeating. Most people would benefit more from consistent meals than from a new protein powder. Carbohydrates are not reserved for “active” people. Blood sugar is influenced by many things like stress, sleep, hormones and overall intake, not just the carbohydrates you eat. Celebrities like Mike Tyson are not qualified to give nutrition advice. /End ID
psychoanalyzing the gender/identity dichotomy between ice skating and ice hockey and coming to the more objectively correct conclusion that ice hockey is rooted in motherly feminine behavior of protecting the nest and that ice skating is about masculine peacocking of one's own physical prowess in seeking a mate

They looked like a wet cat, which is to say refusing to acknowledge their situation with such rigid dignity that it almost feels foolish to bring it up.
my professor when trying to describe how to recognize field sparrows was just like Well they look... like they're kind. like they just look nice. and the best part is he's absolutely right

Thanks to this post I fell down a rabbit hole and here are some of my favourites I found
Women throughout (American and English) history worked. The idea that in the past the sole responsibility of women was domestic labor and childrearing is largely inaccurate for the majority of women in these societies. Women were expected to do domestic labor like cooking and cleaning and raising children AND work to bring income to their family, this was true for the average woman, excluding the upper middle class/wealthy. If a woman’s husband owned a tavern or restaurant, she also cooked and kept bar and did the duties associated with the business. If a woman’s husband was a (small scale/subsistence/tenant) farmer, the woman did farm labor. Often a woman was expected to do labor related to her husband’s job.
Women also had vocations and forms of income unrelated to their husband. The nature of these jobs changed over time but many women did things like weaving, embroidery, crafting, beer brewing, chicken tending and laundress work to bring income. Women with skills were seen as better marriage candidates because they’d make money for their husband.
My great-great-great-great grandmother told fortunes and did farm labor, my great-great-great grandmother was a midwife, my great-great grandmother worked in a textile factory for most of her adult life and my great grandmother was a school lunch lady.
This is why it makes me irate when women on the right say things like “feminism forced me to get a job instead of being allowed to stay home with my children” before feminism you would have had to tend house, raise your children and bring income to your husband. Now, at the very least, the money is hopefully your own. Women were always in the workforce, their work was not recognized.
Just to add that the vast majority of fibre production and manufacture with cloth was done by women for much of history
relevant to that recent "people don't think working class women existed" thing.
What I think needs a little more spelling out as well is the way that historically, what we grammatically speak of as being the man's occupation was often in fact the entire family's occupation, with which parts of the necessary work each person did conventionally divided up along gender lines.
Just some random examples (the gender splits here are pretty typical but I can't say they're true of all cultures; I'm primarily familiar with western European history and especially the British Isles):
men fishing, women preparing the fish for sale and selling them at a market ("fishwives")
wives as salespeople and managers of the financial side of the business was also common for many male-coded artisan crafts; the man who is the 'silversmith' is actually smithing the silver (possibly with the aid of sons, apprentices and/or hired labourers), while his wife is taking care of everything else that is necessary for this to translate into a money-making business
husbands underground mining coal with a focus on speed over purity of product, children transporting it to the surface so he doesn't have to leave, and wives sorting the coal from the worthless rock on the surface. The entire family contributes to the pay check, which is based on the amount of sorted coal delivered.
wives as writers, editors, secretaries and research partners to male academics, scholars and politicians - also frequently doing much of the work associated with the networking that was neccessary for success in these careers. (It was not uncommon in some periods for wives to handle a lot of their husbands' correspondence, and of course a lot more socialising used to involve being hosted at peoples' homes. Wives of the relevant social classes for these careers were unlikely to be handling e.g. the cooking themselves - their job here is more like event manager and line manager of the staff doing the work.)
servants who were married were typically married to servants in the same household (and servant occupations were highly gendered)
"farmer's wife" and "baker's wife" and so on are properly understood as occupations, traditionally taking on parts of the work that a modern baker would need to hire someone for
the same is also true of soldiers' wives! this varies by army but in many pre-and early modern armies the 'camp wives' had duties and took on work that in modern armies is either done by soldiers (cooking, maintaining kit, guarding the camp, certain parts of supply chain management*) or external contractors *by which we sometimes mean 'brutalising local peasants and stealing their stuff'; womens' involvement in these activities is well-attested to in contemporary art
I really really want to emphasize the academia one, because so many people think women weren't doing research historically, when more accurately they weren't doing *credited* research. But they were in the labs, working right alongside their husbands and fathers and brothers, getting the science done.
Historian Mary Beard worked with her husband Charles as well as doing her own, separate research and writing. In the early to mid 20th Century, they wrote some of the standard texts for US History together that were widely used for decades. Charles insisted that Mary be credited equally for her labor on their collaborations and other men, in response to him breaking the privilege game they were all benefiting from (use women's labor and never speak of it) would consistently write reviews and other commentaries where they spoke of him as the sole author on their collaborative works.
Men have been perfectly aware they're absorbing women's labor and rendering it invisible/inferior. And when a man tried to break the unspoken rules, they made sure to shut that down as much as they could. Dude, don't you know we're running a scam here???
Teenagers are like that because every problem feels the same amount of Catastrophic. There's no sense of scale going on there cause they lack frame of reference. This isn't the fault of The Teenager but it does explain the Discourse Circles I was in when I was younger. Like it operates in both "blowing shit that doesn't matter WAY out of proportion" and "not taking Real Problems seriously enough". This is why dni banners are like that
I fear the only cure for this is to simply stop being a teenager. If you're an adult and still like this I hope you stop being a teenager soon
when I was a teenager, I was right. Nothing I was going through would have been acceptable for an adult. You're at a stage where you're old enough to not be a child and given a whole lot of responsibility but you are not given any power and that's the issue. Powerless people act out and that's valid.
Teenagers are Like That because, for one, they're developmentally ready to start transitioning to meaningful adult responsibility but are artificially infantilized by the society the live in, and it drives them a little bonkers. It's like if we all decided that it was actually harmful for babies to learn to walk, so we should keep all children immobilized in hamster cages until they're 10, and then concluded that children are so irrational for crying instead of sitting peacefully in their cages.
And for two, because adults constantly tell teenagers that every problem is the same amount of Catastrophic. When you're a teenager, you're constantly inundated with messages from parents, teachers, and everyone around you that you are living The Most Consequential Stage Of Life, during which any slight mishap can derail you FOREVER! If you get a bad grade on a test, you'll lose your GPA, and you'll never get into a Good College, and you'll never get a Good Career, and you'll be Poor Forever. If you befriend the wrong person, you'll Go Down The Wrong Path and end up Ruining Your Life. If you make one mistake, you might as well hold up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet seat.
Now, when I was a teen, I dealt with this pressure by developing debilitating anxiety, but it's unsurprising that some other teens deal with it by deciding "If one bad grade is as bad as holding up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet, I might as well go ahead and hold up a liquor store while snorting cocaine off a toilet."

This has gone beyond "I cannot explain this to my spouse" and is firmly in "Archaeologists of the future will decide this is the point at which a group of people diverged from mainstream humanity and developed a new, indecipherable form of communication."
stopppp everyone absolutely needs to see this
So my dad was the assistant music editor on Tarzan, and idk if it was Bring Your Kid to Work Day or something but one day he did just that so there I was, this incredibly small 1st grader, in an absolutely cavernous recording studio with a full orchestra and a giant screen playing the scene they were taping the score for, and my little brain couldn't handle the big music and the big movie happening all at once so I started crying and it was the first time music ever brought me to tears and it was too much to take in so we stepped out of the studio and ran directly into Phil Collins, who looked to me very much like my dad, and in my delicate emotional state I became immediately convinced that my dad had been copied and nobody had told me so I started crying harder, and Phil Collins said something that was probably meant to be calming but it was with a British accent so I thought there was a copy of my dad in every country and I absolutely lost it at the notion that other kids would get to have my dad, and my dad ended up having to carry me back to the car.
So.
Sorry for crying very loudly at you Phil Collins, your work on Tarzan was so moving it triggered my first emotional breakdown.
the only thing that could top that clip is that story
