so much of being an ok person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

in addition: Trying to avoid ever doing these things will cost you in ways you cannot comprehend until you stop and accept this.

i'm not normally one to make jokes about dialect or accent. but the way that British people pronounce "lieutenant" feels like an in-joke i'm not privy to

Aww, you're feeling lieut out?

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

HEARTBREAKING: friends who i should be going to the movies and playing dnd and watching anime and cosplaying and going to the mall and having sleepovers and exploring the woods with live one hundred trillion miles away

not to be dramatic but i miss everyone and wish everything was different

Is there any better feeling than an email notification that a useless bullshit meeting you didn't want to go to has been cancelled.

An email notification that two useless bullshit meetings you didn't want to go to have been cancelled?

I hope everyone who reads this has TWO bullshit useless meetings they didn't want to go to cancelled <3

you will struggle to say the unsayable thing for five years straight. and then it will suddenly become easy on a Wednesday morning

the water in hotel showers will do things to the texture of your hair you didn’t even know were possible

holiday inns all have a resident alchemist trying to concoct the "waters of infinite retribution" and anything that doesn't work gets dumped into the plumbing

having 40 minutes to leave the house is terrible because 40 minutes is basically 30 minutes and 30 minutes is basically 20 minutes and 20 minutes is basically fifteen seconds. but 50 minutes? 50 minutes is an hour, and an hour? ooobh thats plany off time

Reminder to all bitches: if they're coming to kill you, make them bring their own shovels. To me that's what voting is about, that's what living is about, that's what stubbornly persisting is about. For a lot of us world is full of people who want to bury you and to despair is to make it that much easier on them to get you in the ground. Fuck em! Don't just sit there. Don't just cooperate. Don't just wisely pontificate about how inevitable your doom is. If anyone is coming to Get You then damn well make them sweat for it.

so charming of ART to tell amena she could call it ART. especially when she knows its name is perihelion. especially when it knows what ART stands for. imagine telling the teenager your situationship is responsible for "of course you can call me dipshit"
