You have absolutely no idea how hog wild I get for watermelon. It was one of the first things I ever learned how to cut and prepare growing up, and I was a slow ass learner, my sheer need for watermelon taught me how to use a knife safely. There was free watermelon every Fourth of July, and I grew up in a diet house hold- I ate my body weight in watermelon, just kept on eating, I should have entered that watermelon eating competition cause 10 year old me would have won against those country men. I am a beast for watermelon, every summer it’s legit the thing I am most excited about, I am about to go cut and eat the watermelon in my kitchen, I will be greedy and eat significantly more than my sister, I will compensate for this by giving her more ice cream mochi. I am choosing watermelon over ice cream mochi. If I cut into the watermelon and the texture isn’t what I wanted, I will be making a watermelon mint vodka slushy tonight. Nothing competes with watermelon, it is my favorite food including any meal I have eaten. If I had to choice one 1 ingredient item to eat for the rest of my life it would be watermelon. I have made angst gore fanfiction about someone’s watermelon based character, not because I vibed with the character on a deep level, but because watermelon is fucking awesome and I have cut so much of it that it’s so easy to write. I am an animal for watermelon. I have eaten watermelon in every setting imaginable, I have gone with it in a cold springs and cracked it open like a walnut on rocks. I have eaten watermelon at the beach tool-less, opened it up on stone, eaten so messily that I’m geniunely coated in watermelon juice, and then ran into the salt water to wash off, before coming back for seconds. I can easily eat an entire summer watermelon myself and the only thing ever stopping me is that I love to share watermelon. I have had a million day dreams about cutting watermelon for my future kids, I’m the only one in my family who likes cutting watermelon and I take on the tasks like a early human ancestor chips rock to make a hand axe. I should be studied by an anthropologist for my behavior of watermelon. I have studied anthropology and analyzed my behavior with watermelon through different theories. If I had to name 5 things about myself, my enjoyment for watermelon would be on that list.

@positiveoatmilkmotel you tried pickling watermelon rinds?

someone please hit me over the head with this post every day for like the next week thanks. a mention, a reblog with text, a message, something.

You must understand that perfectionism isn’t striving for excellence, it’s a crippling fear of being flawed and therefore worth abandonment or punishment. It’s a kind of psychological avoidance. You’re avoiding fear and failure , not embracing the thing you want to do bc if it was about the thing you want to do you’d be fine with partial victory.

This is true bi/ace solidarity.

This is the only correct way

This website will be updating information on ways to help for those outside Venezuela. It is in spanish.

Estimates from people on the ground are around 40,000 people missing.

When I am king, we will valorize sanitation workers the way we currently valorize the military

So heroic posters showing trashmen battling allegorical monsters? I'm down.

Yeah but that's just the beginning. I also want Sanitation Worker Discounts at every business and blockbuster movie propaganda glorifying sanitation work. I want random people to salute garbage collectors and thank them for their service. I want drivers who get impatient with the recycling truck and honk at it and swerve around it to become social pariahs

PSA to read our documentation and FAQ if you have questions as they tend to already be covered in there :)

(getting a taste of my own medicine) actually this is okay. Is this what you guys have bene whining about? Jesus christ
