I have no idea what I'm doing

I like that when Chakotay is angry with Janeway he calls her Kathryn and when she's angry with him she calls him Commander.

*Yes* you've nailed it.

When he’s angry, it’s because of decisions she’s making as The Captain and so he’s trying to appeal to her as herself - to reach the woman not the job. It’s also frequently because what she’s doing is dangerous. When she’s angry, she’s trying to appeal to his sense of duty to get him back on the side of The Captain - to ignore the woman he loves and focus on the job. She needs the distance because she thinks it will keep her objective. This is their fundamental conflict always: the needs of the Captain and the Commander vs those of Kathryn and Chakotay.

are you ever about to put on a movie but you realize you don't really want to watch The Movie, you want to be eight years old on a rainy saturday, and under your favorite butterfly blanket, and mom made hot chocolate and popcorn with extra butter, and you're watching The Movie for the first time ever? what are you supposed to do then

You gotta be really publicly passionate about things if you want your friends to text you. Bc people will forget to text you because they’re human. But if you’re really openly the friend who loves identifying ants your friends will think of you when they see ants. And they’ll text you “what ant is this [blurry photo]”. And then they’ll ask you how you’ve been and we should get coffee sometime. But if they don’t know what you love they’ll never know what you like

And then when the ant convention is in town they’ll be like dude… we should go to the ant convention. But they would never think to go if they didn’t know u loved ants

And sometimes you need to ask them to go to the ant convention. But you Will not get anywhere hiding your passions

where do people get energy from

THIS IS THE HARDEST I HAVE LAUGHED IN SO LONG YOU HAVE CURED MY DEPRESSION

This is one of the greatest posts I’ve ever witnessed. The payoff was amazing.

My roommate heard it going and went “OH MY GOD is it EVER going to resolve?” then the payoff hit and she busted up laughing

if I just had the presence of mind and the wherewithal and the chutzpah and the bandwidth and the executive function and the energy and the mental resources and the spoons and the right attitude and the capacity and the gumption and th

if you use potholders how will you ever build up the calluses necessary to pick up scalding hot metal without burning yourself so severely? it’s like you’re not even trying to get better

I mean, my mother uses potholders, but she’s in her 70s. You’re just… too YOUNG to be resorting to potholders at your age.

If you start using potholders, your inability to hold hot metal will only get worse.

The funny thing is as a disabled person who used to be a professional cook, “chef hands” are much easier to develop than the ability to walk on partially dislocated body parts

“Normal” test results are not the relief people think they are. When you wake up in pain and continue to be in pain for hours every day and your tests come back normal you don’t stop being in pain.
