come and share a pot of tea

I’m ok with the men’s hockey team on the show if that means the women will dunk on them 🫢

Babies doing the Thing with their grownups will never not be an immediate and loving reblog.

This is also important because until 1951, Indigenous kids were not allowed to dance at pow wows. It was illegal for them to participate. This is not only heartwarming, but an act of defiance against the ongoing oppression and genocide sanctioned by the Canadian government.

I do not celebrate death on principle but I do find it interesting that Charlie Kirk died via the thing he advocated for. Like who’s writing this political novel we’re living in. The symbolism’s a bit heavy handed if you ask me.

He was basically pro school shooting and then got shot in a school. Like. I mean.

He got shot while answering a question about the numbers of mass shootings in America, too. His last words were literally "gang violence"

I don’t believe in karma but if I did I’d say that’s a pretty good sign that he’s about to be reincarnated as a mosquito.

The Y-Axis isn't that bad. Plus they have precise figures for every 2 years on the graph itself. This isn't a misleading graph.

nice.

nice

nice

I love not playing along

"She's on wrong side of 40" What, you'd rather she was dead?

forced caretaking as a trope i think is like cocaine to people who know they need to be taken care of but have mental blocks in the way like yeah please do gently force me into a state of vulnerability so my body learns it is a safe thing to feel around you

This has gotta be a hit with the girlies who have always wanted something terrible to happen to them just so people realize they're in more misery than their outward appearance lets on

The number of people who are reblogging this just naming the homes they can't live in anymore... It's fucking heartbreaking. I know this is easy to see as "millennials and Gen Z upset they can't live in fancy areas", but... it's not that. It's that we want to live where we grew up, because those are the places we love. It's that a lot of us want to live in the same place as our LITERAL FAMILY, because having a community is so important and so many people of our generation are being priced out of having family nearby to help if we're on good terms with them. We can't even be close enough to our families to go over for a meal. It's that so many homes that could have been for normal rent or up for sale are now being held by fucking short-term rental AirBnB/VRBO GHOULS, so tourists can visit the places we consider home. I don't know why the idea that "if you grow up in a place, you should be able to afford to live in that place as an adult - not in the same neighborhood as your parents, even, but in the same CITY OR REGION, CLOSE ENOUGH TO VISIT YOUR FAMILY" is so absurd. You should be able to escape your family, yes... you should be also to stay near them without having to LIVE with them. You should be able to grow up and find a partner to live with and get pets and maybe have children and still not have to move hundreds of miles from your family. But this is what so many of us are being forced to do now. I think we should focus on this the same way conservatives fixate on the birthrate. If anything is destroying families, maybe it's this.

I just sent this to my husband and his response was “you can’t put a price on that” uh, yeah you can, they just did. 🙄

i remember the blissful 14 months when me and my friend shared a nanny, and coming back into the living room to find she had spontaneously tidied up the extreme chaos. That must be what it’s like, being a man, that you can just walk away from some mess to get ready for work, and when you come back somebody else has dealt with it without any physical or mental effort from you. 

I think about this essay all the time

This is reminder to check up on your own mental health.

OK thanks

The laugh that just erupted from me was ungodly.

That's it. No more depending on other countries. The USA must become the Banana Republic (voice speaks fast in my earpiece) I have just now learned terrible things about Guatemala

no actually i don't think antivaxxers' kids should die from a disease. i don't think gun advocates' kids should die in school shooting. children dying is bad actually, even if they're children of people you don't like.

since the yearly "certain medications can cause heat intolerance" PSAs are out in full force, let us fondly remember last year when I was at Pennsic (big ass medieval recreation event) and our group was tearing down our giant tent lodge we use for our kitchen and dining hall. and there's a part at the very end where the roof is sort of on the ground, but still tented on a pole in the middle. and someone has to go under there to unhook the roof from the pole. but it's hot as fuck in that part since it's been baking in the sun for two weeks, so it's called "Satan's asshole". which resulted in somebody VERY solemnly telling me, "going into Satan's asshole is NOT a job for somebody on SSRIs"

fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this
