change will come

the rumors are true: i dont feel very good

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

got an ad on instagram for a group of beatles impersonators that hire out for events and all the comments were asking if they hired them would the paul and john kiss

can we bring back the term "fair-weather friend" bc I feel like if fair-weather friends got called that more this whole argument about whether or not you should be there for your friends when it's inconvenient/at what point of personal inconvenience it's ok to bail on your friends would kinda fall apart bc like. we literally have a word for "friend who's only there when you don't need something from them" because the baseline expectation is that a friend should be there even when it sucks. like we used to make fun of people for bailing on their friends.

You know what? Fuck you *lets it linger* *looks back in anger* *goes back to the old house*

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs

i'm like a fujoshi but for dead people

its so strange to me when younger alt people try to claim that emo/scene are a part of the whole "ALL alternative subcultures have roots in being political, to be a real member of these subcultures you *have* to be progressive and leftist and accepting of everyone" because if you look at what was actually happening in those scenes when they started out in the 2000s its just so blatantly not true? like sometimes...some alternative subcultures really ARE heavily music/fashion-based, like it or not thats just how it ends up. and some people try to write it off with "well people who arent progressive arent real emo then" which is just stupid because that would mean that the very bands that are the face of emo--thus having massive influence over the culture and community and common beliefs/opinions/views--arent actually emo...which just feels like a wholly unproductive way to address (or more like, write off) the issues that were soooo common in these scenes. like. was it progressive of some of the most popular emo/hardcore bands to be writing about murdering and raping women? (not to mention, to actually be doing that?) was it welcoming when scene queens were using the n-word and making nazi jokes? no............it cultivated a scene that was hostile to women and girls and black people/poc in online communities and at shows themselves. which is not good and should be talked about instead of written off, so that these celebrities dont continue to be blindly put up on pedestals for impressionable teenagers to look to and internalize the things that they say/the way that they act/treat people as acceptable and funny and okay. you know what im saying ?

Trapped between being militantly pro-choice and deeply concerned about the erosion of abortion rights and thinking the way that people talk about pregnancy/motherhood/children on this hellsite is pretty gross and borderline misogynistic.

Excuse me heroin addicted teenage Walmart employee can you unlock the cabinet full of things to put up my ass please

Yeah I was hoping to need to have it rescanned by one of your other employees at the self checkout as well as having it visually inspected by the elderly receipt cop as well

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world
