ENTROPY IRONY & CRINGE

I'm very very glad that my knee-jerk, gut-feeling, primal-instinct reaction to seeing a Default Influencer is embarrassment. I think this saves me from a lot of bullshit.

To be clear ☝️, absolutely not gender-exclusive. Some broccoli-haired shirtless 23-year-old man on enough trenbolone to euthanize a different horse starts talking about how to be a high-value male and I start thinking instantly about how I'd have 4,000 slugs use me as a jungle-gym before I'd want this man within cootie-contagion distance of me.

Respect for my soldiers… she’s saving him… the hons…

i was just chatting to my 82 year old father on the phone and he was talking about his lifelong struggle with ADHD and remarked, "but all the people who criticized me my whole life are dead now" and then did an evil cartoon sorcerer laugh. being old rocks

My dad is 82 and has the worst ADHD several of his doctors have ever seen. He is alone and miserable most of the time because he wants to socialize, but his wife has moved away from him and I won’t hang around if he’s being abusive. He mostly sits at home upset that he has nobody to talk to because even the people who tolerate him have full lives and can’t be around a lot. My brother never sees him unless he needs something. He is abusive a lot just by being impatient and angry. I love my dad. I still can joke with him. I won’t travel with him after Last Time. He gets mad at me when I won’t Jump when he says Jump. Having ADHD and not having done anything to manage it by the time you’re 82 may work out for some, but I guarantee it will alienate a lot of people along the way. My dad is an extreme, and i think my mom helped keep him where he is instead of helping him. Sometimes you can be unapologetically different and it’s okay and you can be happy. Mostly in movies from my pov. In my experience, it really makes you feel alone. Don’t abandon anyone, but don’t tolerate abuse just cause someone has problems.

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.

I think the only person I've met in real life with 100% career satisfaction was this gal I knew who was a presenter at a children's science museum and delivered every line like she was running a WWE match. Every time you passed the room where she was giving a presentation, you'd hear something like "WHO'S READY FOR CEPHALOPODS?!?" and the kids would go absolutely nuts cheering.

I'm sure all my settings are set to "yes show me mature content no don't filter anything" what are you TALKING ABOUT

the posts are ON THE WEBSITE. I can't search dirty words?? am I five??? is this club penguin??? when I get you

just so you know, if you completely ignore the search feature on the website and just type "tumblr.com/search/term" into the address bar, it bypasses all of this. broken-ass website

For the first time in my tenure on tumblr, it's "THAT'S A PHOTOGRAPH?" and not "THAT'S AN OIL PAINTING?"

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

this is legitimately the funniest post on this site
