you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming

I hate the push that you can quit addictions by pure willpower because it perpetuates the idea that people who can't have committed a moral failing of some kind. We all may know some people who did quit an addiction cold turkey, and with no aid, you may be one of them. And that's fantastic, but it is not the norm. It is more than okay to need help to quit an addiction. Relapse is also part of the process. Many people relapse several times before they are able to quit for good. Let's have compassion.

We need to isolate and start selectively breeding the plastic eating bacteria so we can optimise their efficiency, and then somehow splice their DNA into the gut bacteria of an obligate carnivore, so we can put it in our cats gut biomes so they'll finally be free of having to choose between whether they want to eat plastic or whether they want to live.

meanwhile the U.S. women's team has won 4 world cups which somehow doesn't come up

I do love how the political spectrum united to call Brian Tamaki a cunt. Truly uniting the left and the right with how shitty and racist he is.

You know you've fucked up when even the insufferable David Seymour himself is taking to the media to tell you to "stop being a dickhead"

I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”

You’re a monster

As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?

OP your brain is neat and I love you for it you funky little color-coded cupcake. But you’re still a monster.

One of the things we study about information seeking is how people will come into the library and say "I need the purple book"

yeah i hate concentration camps because i hate women you caught me

What fucking rock is that drongo living under where everyone loves and supports Diddy and Michael Jackson?

I mean yeah like no person thinks it's weird the idea that someone needs more than one pair of shoes for different purposes (walking indoors, hiking, casual walking, new pair because old are worn out), so yeah absolutely there wouldn't be one particular wheelchair that could meet all particular conditions, and people who use wheelchairs should have better access to a variety to fit their particular needs

I’ll write a post on here that clearly says “I don’t believe anyone should ever be forcibly institutionalized in any circumstance” and someone will reblog and tag it “I totally agree, nobody should be incarcerated except my family member with BPD/schizophrenia/*insert stigmatized diagnosis here*, sometimes people just need to be locked away for their own good” and I’m like no…you don’t totally agree & I don’t think you understand…I mean that all people deserve bodily autonomy, including the people you’ve been conditioned to believe are the most scary, inconvenient, and burdensome

i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time

Honestly it's not that bad as it sounds. It takes the eagles about 2 hours to get to my liver and another 2 to eat it. The whole ordeal is over by one and I've got the afternoon to myself.

But like genuinely. "humans have an innate need for spirituality" should be pretty transparently a reactionary opinion. It's simply not true and equates something that some people get benefit from with it being a fundamental aspect of being human (and one that is missing it most people today). You gonna start arguing "children *need* fathers or they grow up broken" next?
