I don't understand tumblr

I suppose marrying your crush must be a strange experience for how often one is expected to casually utter the Words of Power (their name) in the most unhallowed (tax forms) contexts

I mean a little bit but mostly it'll just randomly strike you in the middle of something mundane like folding the laundry like "wow, Mr. Charismatic & Popular With the Angel Voice who I swooned over my freshman year of college married ME??? I'm married to HIM??? I'm holding his underwear and it's not creepy?????"

To be fair, you also have to enter that bubble at live plays and musicals as well. Perhaps even moreso, because they are immediate and ephemeral; if you miss something, it's gone, you will never be able to see that exact moment again, even if you go back another night. And while theatre has been declining in popularity for a hundred years, I'd argue that it's less likely to disappear entirely than movie theaters, because it offers something that's even harder to recreate at home. All the same, I get what you mean, and it's definitely sad to see

Hey. Stop for a second. Take this moment to appreciate that you don't have to write a paper right now. No one is asking you to write a paper. You don't have to think about the paper or plan your time around the paper. You have the freedom to think about whatever you want. Everything is going to be okay. At least you don't have to write a paper right now

you want to be romantically attracted to someone? the thing that killed romeo and juliet?

okay i wanna play. what's the first song on your wrapped that has a color in the title?

Guys. He's kidding. I suspected this from the moment I saw the post but I found his account on X and confirmed it. This guy is an architect himself. He knows the plan is shit and he's making fun of the people who tell him he will be replaced.

Maybe they should set up an evangelistic and outreach ministry in some old abandoned building on the wrong side of town. Then they can cover the building in graffiti and otherwise make it comfortable for the people they are trying to reach. Instead of reaching out they are trashing their own place and trying to con people into coming over.

That would have been an entirely different thing, but it would have required them to actually have passion for their faith instead of just wanting the world to tell them how progressive they are once again.

Also, graffiti seems a really condescending way of reaching out to "marginalized communities." Like they can only connect with the visuals of vandalism, desecration, and ugliness. Feels like "soft bigotry of low expectations" stuff.

This must need a larger sample size or something. No way 25% of people on the ADHD/autism website are fine with or enjoy pretty much all the food they encounter.

reblog to tell a 14 year old that these are the very, very hard years and they're not wrong to feel the way they do.

I had a fifteen minute long crying session yesternight over the fact that all I was 10 years ago, at the ripe old age of 14, is lost and lonely, and now, at 24, I am neither and that filled me with so much gratitude

i have no dog in the hunt but its not the own people think it is to say "Tylenol says pregnant women shouldnt take their medication" when like pretty much everything on the planet is not recommended for pregnant women.

Yes, all other OTC pain relievers (there aren’t all that many) had pretty definitive evidence of being harmful for pregnant women to take. Aspirin is a unique one but there is a lot of institutional bias towards aspirin as a whole and I don’t know what to think about that comprehensively yet. Acetaminophen didn’t fly under the radar and there are studies you can see that link it to certain harmful effects in pregnancy over the years, it was just less definitive than the others. Whether there was a concerted effort to suppress studies or whatever idk but there were certainly known risks.

You know I don't think people would complain about the political associations of dyed hair as much if it wasn't always a bad dye job in an unflattering color

I’m really curious why there is such a strong political association. Like, what is it about certain political demographics that make them more likely to get their hair dyed in an unusual color?

I don't find that too hard to answer, it's the desperate grasping for identity that's so common in that demographic. The colored hair is not just a fashion choice, it is supposed to fill the void where a unique personal identity should be.

I think it's also about tearing down and subverting social norms, a key tenet of most extreme political views and especially postmodernism leftism.
