I'm A Symptom of Someone Else's Sickness

staying silly is all i got left like i got no money no prospects i’m a burden to my parents and i’m frightened

#the worst is when a kid fucking dies #and his parents try to raise awareness that your kid could fucking die #but all they get is other parents telling them their kid died because he was bad at football

becoming homophobic because when two characters in a scene have the same pronouns you have to say their names one william times

you will struggle to say the unsayable thing for five years straight. and then it will suddenly become easy on a Wednesday morning

Like 80% of vegan discourse on this website is about enumerating situations where it's acceptable not to be vegan. Can you imagine if 80% of feminist discourse was men discussing situations in which their participation in the patriarchy is blameless? Sure, you can find examples if you try, but I think this hyperfixation on it belies a certain... barely disguised seething bigotry.

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

Oh my god I was just looking to see how much a copy of Hamlet would be through Barnes and Noble and PEOPLE ARE ROLEPLAYING WARRIOR CATS IN THE REVIEWS??????

ok i was VERY involved in the. b&n reviews warrior cats roleplay scene when i was like 10-12. the first two books of the series were general hubs where ppl would post ads for their clans and other groups. there was a huge percy jackson community i remember participating in too. it worked through search results, eg. riverclan might be under the search result “rivers”. book 1 was rules and a “map”, book 2 might be the main area, book 3 the medicine cats tent, etc. there was also usually a book where ppl would post lengthy descriptions of their character(s). it was a rlly bizarre little corner of the internet jdksj also it was impossible to find any real reviews of any of the warrior cats books bc of it

this is unironically kind of cool

I rbed this silently but I think I've gotta answer some questions now. I was a big part of this whole thing and the reason we didn't use forums was because 90% of us didn't have normal internet access. Barnes and Noble had an e-reader that could connect to the internet and reach their digital store, which was great for those of us with controlling parents who only let us read books.

good music should beat the shit out of you

sorry to be brave on the internet but I think food labels should list every single ingredient and that there should be harsher penalties for mislabeling and deceptive labeling

[Image ID: Tumblr tags reading: I also think that detergent and soaps and shit should have to list every scent in them, no more "floral" or "parfum" or "summer breeze", if it has lavender and roses and grass clipping extract it has to say so, or I get to beat them with a gallon jug of it /End ID]

it should be illegal to take a nap and still have a headache when you wake up. like no i shut it off and back on again why are you still here
