Trashcans need to be inviting

i haven't been playing tumblr as much because i've been outside inhaling pollen

anyways (I say this as someone who is deeply critical of the united states government, military, unchecked capitalism, police, etc) I am SICK of people treating america as if it has no cultural value or positives so….. I love u 85 million acres (bigger than italy) of national parks. I love u harlem renaissance. I love u groundhogs day. I love u sweet tea and fried chicken and jambalaya. I love u apple cider donuts and maizes on crisp autumn days. I love u 95k miles of coastlines and new england fisherman and hand knitted sweaters. I love u halloween where millions of people dress up and give candy to strangers and carve jack o’lanterns. I love u small talk and small towns and potlucks and bringing over casseroles to your struggling neighbors. I love u cowboys and ranch hands and arizonian cactus. I love u appalachian trail and dirtbikes and divebars. I love u sparklers and fireflies. I love u mark twain and toni morrison and emily dickinson and henry david thoreau. I love u rock n roll i love u bluegrass and hippies i love u jimi hendrix and nirvana and CCR and janis joplin. I love u victorian houses and jonny appleseed and john henry and mothman and bigfoot. I love u foggy days in the pacific northwest and neon signs and roadside attractions. I love u baseball and 1950s diners and soft serve. I love u native american art and pop art and poptarts. I love u blue jeans and barbecues and jazz musicians 

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

and AAVE

young old person tip for you all. go get some photos printed (pauses so someone can say bogos binted) and fill out a physical album

and annotate them with who is in the photos and when and where the photos were taken!!! your extended family 50 years from now will be grateful, and so will you if you end up forgetting any details

(sprints into room late, looking harried and frantic as fuck) bogos binted. did I miss it

not sure if y’all know this but the phrase “you can do whatever you want forever” has a secret second part that is “other people will react to it however they want forever”

I hate Elon musk so fucking much

for those who don't watch game changer the context of this is that vic, as part of their attempt to do a challenge on this game show, decided to steal from sam's home, which resulted in them losing points

I dont think I get whats happening, what did vic do?

so basically what happened was they're on a game show and sam gave them a challenge and what vic did as part of their attempt to complete that challenge was they robbed sam's home, but instead of this getting them points they had a point deducted from their score because sam did not think vic robbing his home was good

wait so why did vic's points get deducted?

because they robbed sam's house which sam decided was not in line with what he wanted the contestants to do with this challenge

yeah that's what vic thought too which is why they robbed sam's home. didn't work out though because they lost a point for it

like i thought gay people were supposed to be creatives right…… tell me how literally every single flag designer except gilbert baker himself seems entirely unfamiliar with even elementary color theory

This is what it’s all about. Saturday night. At home. Switching between the same 4 apps on my phone. Getting scared.
