you know ;)

Yesterday I overheard a trans woman saying to another "the fourth law of robotics is that the robot has to be gay and trans" and a cis guy nearby going "oh what? I only know the first three" and her repeating "yeah it says the robot has to be gay and trans. Asimov wrote that" and him earnestly saying "whoa I didn't know that!"

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

THIS IS A PAINTING

You know, there's this cliché that teenage boys always eat massive amounts, but teenage girls really aren't that different if they're not suppressed by diet culture and body shaming. Like, I was a teenage girl who frankly just stopped bothering to fit into mainstream beauty ideals at some point, and I would regularly make myself just one big massive pot of pasta and devour it completely. This wasn't even stress eating or anything, I just genuinely needed the energy because you know, I was a teenager and my body was developing. I feel like so many teenage girls think they need to eat as little as possible to be petite and pretty, but the truth is that your body is developing just as intensely as teenage boys' bodies. Eat more, please, your body needs it.

I think the thing about establishing a healthy habit is so many people sabotage themselves by going into preparation overload. When you’re first starting out your goal should be reducing friction as much as possible, not adding to it. Like if you want to work out more your first order of business shouldn’t be going to the store and buying fancy workout equipment fits etc. That just adds friction. You want it to be as simple as possible because establishing a new habit is already uncomfortable. We should be reducing friction from habits we want to establish and adding friction to things we want to drop, like our phone use. This is literally how they design phones btw. They make it incredibly easy to check your phone by reducing friction with how they design their apps. So to combat that we need to introduce friction back into those harmful habits
