Hello

"my great grandmother who survived 3 wars and raised 10 children by herself while working in a factory watching me go to therapy because my parents yelled at me" ok but your great grandmother was also miserable. maybe your great grandmother would be happy you try your best to not be miserable

MY biggest fear as an artist: thunderstorms. thunder loud and scary

I think what annoys me about countries like the USA and Russia is that they can't just have internal problems, they need to make it everyone else's problem as well. "Oh, boo-hoo we're a declining empire and we need militarism to reinforce our culturally ingrained sense of masculinity" yeah, fuck off. Get over it.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

it sucks once toddlers can communicate more clearly because you can go "we're sharing" and they'll just outright say "no". like okay i'll go kill myself I guess

The fact that Snape was teaching at Hogwarts at the age of 21 means that the like 4th-7th years were in school with him when he was a student. I think about this constantly

yessss i never see like anyone talk about this but there was a rlly old au i had (i can hardly remember what it was about) and it made me think of this and its lived rent free in my brain since like why does no one think about this?? 😭😭

Nothing in the rule book says a dog can't play basketball. There are a couple rules against trans women, however, so she'll have to leave.

Sports reminder: You don't have to specify gender when you're talking about women's sport, treating men's sport as the default. You can say men's football or men's rugby or men's hockey. You can ask "did you watch the football tonight?" about a women's game with the same confidence that the other person will know what you're talking about as people do when they talk about the men's, and you can refuse to let women's sport be treated as secondary or lesser.

i think people should be allowed to get a divorce or abortion at any time for any reason

“why don’t lesbians who date masc women just date men?” Why don’t straight women who like men just date masc women?
