Front Porch Sitting

mwaaaah ! In these trying times.

great song but i disagree with the core message

albums actually get better the more you listen to them

disinformation - that would imply that music isn't already at its best by default

in my experience the more time you spend on a work of art and the deeper you dig into its every detail the more you end up appreciating it and the better it gets to you. this is why i don't (and probably will never) use streaming services. when every song is competing to try to hook your attention as quickly as possible knowing that failure is only one single button press away and when you can easily just skip past everything that doesn't hook you immediately it robs you of the ability to sit with something that doesn't quite hook you at first and let it do what it has to do until you understand and you get a better understanding of the individual song/album, music as a whole, and yourself. it's just been a way more emotionally fulfilling way to experience music for me. maybe music is at its best by default, but maybe that default is not the very first listen that you skip 5 seconds in because it didn't immediately start with a catchy chorus

The popular idea that women are *allowed* to express more emotion than men because they're stereotyped as overly emotional is so fucking stupid when you actually think about it for 2 seconds. It's like saying poc are allowed to be angry. Dude

Toxic masculinity's emotional repression has a slightly different flavor to it but can we be so fucking honest. Every man I've known will throw a hissy fit at a moment's notice they just don't like having emotionally vulnerable friendships with each other because they're scared of looking gay. Which is their own fault for being homophobic. Damn I wish men weren't allowed to talk about their feelings stfu

Hi white trans people on this website. Be it trans men, women or enben. Please remember that you have privilege and can easily be an oppresor. That's all I ask.

seeing my chemical romance once will have you thinking crazy thoughts like let me see my chemical romance five more times

Sweetest girl you’ve ever met be like “aww im nothing special” and then she’s actually everything good that the world has to offer. Brightest ray of sunshine that’s ever met the earths soil btw.

This was genuinely what it was like growing up in New Agey circles btw, my mum's friends would come round like "So I went out to the woods this weekend and fasted and meditated and I had a vision of the Sacred Stag and all my guardian angels and I asked them how to find love and they said that I need to focus on my own healing first and stop repeating cycles of the past" and then the very next week it'd be like "So I'm back with James again" girl..... the Sacred Stag could not have been more clear....

i cant have sex id ruin the mood by jumping around and screaming yay when she takes her shirt off

you try to look up information on how to be safe when cutting and every single thing is like Nobody Knows Why Cutting Manifests In Teenager But It’s Probably Because Of Their Rotten Soul. Parents Here’s How To Take Away Every Knife From Your Child And Make Them Pure Again and it’s like okay well first of all everyone involved in this situation except the cutting teenager should die and second of all i just want to know if it’s okay to cut vertically on my thigh

and then the ai search engine shit asks you if you’re about to kill yourself and sends you to a hotline where you’ll be told have you tried detransitioning and/or not killing yourself and there’s eight hundred studies on the soul sickness of teenagers who cut and parent advocacy groups that tell you to do talk therapy at your child and never give them privacy and i’m literally just trying to cut myself for sex reasons it shouldn’t be this hard and i’m so tired of how all of the entire world treats “mental health” as compulsory normality and complacency with abuse and otherwise you’re a disorder freak who just never deserved human rights in the first place

i have found this document helpful

They’re on Reddit saying texting “hi” is low iq and gives people the ick and that’s why they got ghosted. They don’t let u say hi no more….. we’re in a loneliness epidemic bc everybody is a weirdo about every little thing im cracking up
