"If I saw you every day forever Will, I would remember this time." It would have been less gay if they scissored on my screen but whatever

The chemical they put on ants and all the other ants think they're dead that's what happened to tumblr except the chemical is unmarketability

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore

worth noting also that along of feminine beauty standards stem from racism. what we saw with Imane Khelif this year at the Olympics while yes was transphobic, was also racist. Don't overlook the ways misogyny, transphobia and intersexism intertwine with racism

Also, and I can't believe this needs to be stated, but when someone sets that boundry, you cannot keep dragging the conversation back to convincing them to say yes or even just to keep talking about it in the hopes they'll come around. If something makes someone uncomfortable or they don't feel like talking about it? DROP IT. You don't get to walk away thinking you're victim after they rightfully ghosted you because you proved you couldn't leave well enough alone.

i think the jirai community deserves financial compensation for the misinfo that addyharajuku has spread
