Rebloging to commemorate my 40 year old best coworker friend got a new job and moving leaving me bereft and grieving

I also think kids should be allowed to be wrong about what they can handle without getting in trouble for it. They should be able to go to the adults in their life and ask for help processing what they saw or read without fear of judgement or punishment.

i feel like more productions needs to play up how sad the rosencrantz and guildenstern/hamlet relationship is. like old friends you haven’t seen in years who show up to cheer you up when you’re at your worst and you can’t believe they’ve made it, you can’t believe they remembered you, it’s been so long, then you find out they’re like. paid to be here. and also they’re spying on you. so it’s just like you thought. everything is closing in on you and you can’t trust them. you can’t trust anyone

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

ive never been able to take "climb him like a tree" as a sexual innuendo seriously because i picture climbing a tree in my mind and then i picture a tall man in my mind and when i put those two things together im not seeing anything sexual. im seeing like. circus tricks.

if they're gonna remake The Princess Bride, it should open with a kid sick in bed scrolling on his phone. his grandpa arrives with a gift--it's a DVD player with a disc already inside. grandpa hooks it up to the TV and presses play. and we all just watch the original 1987 film again.

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

i would kill to hear gideon's narration during the entire time everyone's just prodding at her corpse and rolling her around in the barracks in ntn. i know shes so pissed off

being single is like… it’s just you and your bottle of water
