Once Upon a Septennial

it's literally all about having a primary public gender and a secondary personal gender

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

Taylor Swift does this

no she doesn’t

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

I love this post

I think having been a shut-in who spent a lot of time avoiding their deep sadness with whatever junk food was available gives me a different relationship to productivity than a lot of people whose life experience has been working in some service job they loathe and always being overwhelmed with chores when they come home. I can't really idealize leisure and large unstructured chunks of time, as much as I've tried at certain points, and I think my life is kind of a case study in why developing tolerance for the voice in your head who judges you for not getting things done is a bad idea. The voice in my head who judges me for not getting things done made some points

I started becoming happier immediately after taking on responsibilities after having a whole era of going... Lol it's so based that I don't need to work and I should just coast on this and get high and listen to new music and message my friends on Discord. I was of course quietly hating myself the whole time, because I knew that my ability to participate in society had decayed, I knew I was a disabled person LARPing a life of abundant leisure, and that if I didn't acclimate to doing hard things I would be trapped forever

as soon as the internet decided depression and anxiety were the everyman mental illnesses and therefore not to be taken seriously we were all fucked tbh bc the fact that i have to feel embarrassed to admit i have debilitating anxiety because people will think im just an uwu dont call me out coward is ridiculous. its insane that i have to clarify that my depressive episodes are like life threatening and not whatever dipshit dumbed down idea of depression people seem to have like oh yeah i just wanna watch netflix and eat ice cream and not text people back. like bro i think im the devil

like maybe depression and anxiety are household names now but they do still kill people. like. theres a reason they fucking kill people.

"The frown was completely unreadable. Thankfully, the loaded and raised gun offered a clue."

Crazy to think that this is all Ronald Reagan’s fault

I dont care what you're referring to. You are right.
