The innerworkings

Sometimes you're in your 50s and still need a dose of courage from Mr. Rogers when the world feels scary.

I will forever miss Fred Rogers. RIP

Times change. People don’t

we used to turn the tv on and just watch whatever was on there

Yes, it was frequently The Simpsons.

If you have an antenna it’s frequently Seinfeld now.

how to tell mutual hey i think ur really cool we should talk more but like also im bad at talking and am always exhausted

Say it just like that

Tumblr isn't social media, it's a habit. Like smoking. We're all gathering by the dumpster in the cold, reblogging posts.

I can appreciate him and the service he’s providing independently of the shitshow that is the platform he’s hosted on.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should be brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. "Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down." Put it on his fucking gravestone.
