So depressing seeing videos of women along the lines of “pov: your husband has to explain the offside rule to you using skincare terminology bc you’re just a girl” what are we doing. What are we doing

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Also I have to say this. Anyone who ever scared me into thinking Katabasis was a hard read because it was too academic or like reading a textbook, what the actual fuck were u on about.

trying to regain motivation of art so I can do big projects that make me happy.... dirk gently in a skirt comes to mind

a problem I have is sometimes if i like something it can feel so intense beyond even just frequency of how much I think about it that suddenly engaging with it feels important and i can't do it unless i'm giving it The Correct Kind Of Attention i have literally dropped off watching multiple shows because of this. i stopped watching cause I liked it TOO MUCH and it flipped from easy to difficult

me: [clicks play on a video about a topic i care a lot about] "I feel like i'm looking into the sun" [stops the video]

not all your fave blorbos can be masochists some of those fuckers gotta enjoy beating the shit out of someone during sex

Stealing this from twitter but I liked the concept: put in the tags where were your 8 great-grandparents from (given modern borders) ?

Imagine if a printer could print
