Lilac and Ladybugs

any time i feel instinctive discomfort or irritation at somebody doing something i find weird but is truly harmless, i legit say to myself “it’s hard getting by in this world, what is your problem with somebody who found a way to make it easier for themselves?” like i had a full turnaround on so many infamously cringe subcultures because of it because i don’t see it that way anymore. it’s not cringe, it’s somebody making this bitch of a life more bearable.

it’s kind of inspiring because when i look at the world through that lens instead of the jaded and cynical lens of judgement, i see much more joy and community and love between people. i experience more and more of an indomitable human spirit that’s endured over hundreds of years of suffering. there’s something in humans that cannot be taken away, no matter how much evildoers try, and as long as we keep trying to quietly build it.

I wonder how many specific minecraft blocks and items are represented by people’s tumblr urls

you can lead a lamb away from slaughter but you can't make it stop feeling like a sacrifice

remember like 15 years ago when black bloggers were talking about this exact shit, 'digital blackface', white internet users appropriating images and clips of black people and using them as cartoonish exaggerated expressions of absurdity or high emotion. straight line from minstrelsy to your reaction gifs and nobody fucking cares any more. white people just decided not to acknowledge it and it went away, just like every other time black users have ever tried to criticise any aspect of online culture.

the cruellest punishment they could do to me is to take away all teh garlic in the world

sometimes you'll see a bird for the first time and when you look it up you learn that its name is the Common Dirt Bitch and its range is Everywhere and there are 400 million of them in your state alone

hey guys remember when you were in school and you saw how adults treated you and your peers and you thought "man. when i grow up i'd never do this. i will never be the annoying old asshole talking about how different it was when i was a kid, when i clearly grew up in a different time. i will never blame the kids for things they can't control." do you remember that? haha me too. anyways can you guys stop making fun of "ipad babies" and start seeing children as people
