The Boredom Strikes Back

Acrylic is like what if there was a paint medium that dried so fast that you could never blend anything or get the right colour. And then oil paint is like what if you were always spending 40 dollars

there's a lot going in The Lie We Lived In but most especially the food choices???? scrambled eggs and peanut butter??? pairing shrimp and pasta with ORANGE JUICE?????

Okay but also this is legitimately dangerous. People hide from social media for very valid reasons. Domestic violence survivors, former trafficking victims, former cult members - all of these people rely on the ability to not be found again.

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

Highly recommend telling yourself: "I've gathered enough evidence. I don't need to keep returning to something to know it's not for me." And for your health, moving accordingly.

sometimes I look at my friends and I am just overwhelmed by the sheer luck of it. the universe is so violently massive and terrifyingly empty, but somehow, against all odds, my brand of weird gravity pulled in your brand of weird gravity. we are just ghosts haunting the same corner of the internet, sharing a brain cell, and keeping each other tethered to the earth.

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for
