I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

At this point, if you use twink incorrectly, I’m blocking you.

Except my best friend’s mother, who thought it meant TWo Incomes No Kids.

Happy PRIDE to all you TWo Incomes No Kids out there.

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

would be fun if language acquisition echoed language evolution a la recapitulation theory. kids going through an indo european phase.

fuuuuuck there really is an xkcd for everything

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

someone made a website where you can declare your favorite pokemon & why. let's all see if every pokemon is someone's favorite... Together

occasionally, you will discover an artist who drew roughly 300 beautiful pictures of your favorite characters over the course of a month and then never touched them again. you must accept this as a gift.

#this is what we're missing from shows now#goofy shit that took up whole episodes#bring back the goofy shit YES. THIS. This is why i don't watch tv or movies any more. Things are way too serious. The world is literally on fire, we're under fascist rule, people are being disappeared off the streets to GOD knows where, AND YOU WANT ME TO WATCH SOMETHING DEPRESSING WITH NO MOMENTS OF LEVITY?????

there is this thing called a "kitty cat". and you can get one for inside your home, and it will sit on all of your surfaces, and you can pet it.

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.
