Something Bitchy This Way Comes

okay. listen. I try not to be pedantic about this sort of thing but it’s starting to get on my nerves. the wire mother offers milk but not comfort. the cloth mother offers comfort but not milk. if something is comforting, fun, or otherwise compelling, but lacks substance, that is the cloth mother. if something is boring or unpleasant but has substance, that is the wire mother.

things are heating up in the unethical experiments fandom

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

liking a popular pairing but not caring for the more popular takes on the characters’ supposed dynamic is agonizing like oh okay i guess i’ll just go fuck myself then. water water everywhere but not a drop to drink

yall can say whatever the fuck you want about amber glenn but this girl is progressing figure skating and sports in general. she's 26 and a competitive athlete in a sport where loads of women retire as they become legal. she has a triple axel, an ultra-c which is hard to get and even harder to keep. a lot of people believe women lose it after finishing puberty. amber glenn defies that. she decided to talk about periods and the struggles she had while competing with it at the olympics, even though it's a 'taboo' topic for women in society. she's openly apart of the queer community and constantly keeps representing it as a form of normalising seeing people like that in the public light. she spoke out against the olympic beijing situation, and used her voice and influence to send a message that it was in no way okay to be shoving cameras in the faces of 17 year old girls who just got their dreams crushed. she proceeded to shield kaori from those same cameras at milano and comforted her, while also being happy for alysa, her own teammate and friend who won over her. she chose to be happy for her friend over sorry for herself. amber glenn, thank you for your service. you will always be famous and an inspiration.

not to be nsfw but the thought of someone smiling against my lips as we kiss? really makes a bitch’s heart flutter

people foolishly dismiss desserts and treats as having no nutritional value when they actually are necessary for refilling your sanity stat. to prove my point please observe the emotional stability of the next person you meet who doesnt let themselves ever eat any form of dessert

I do think the Hank Green AI thing makes it abundantly clear that if you have ADHD or any other mental illness and/or you are prone to addiction you need to avoid AI at all costs. This shit will rope you in, and if you have a mental illness that say, starves your brain of dopamine, you're gonna be extra susceptible to that. I won't use AI for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is knowing how it would fuck with my ADHD and bipolar. Like yes, it's bad for the environment and giving money to rich scumbags and runs on plagarism, but even more than all that, it's straight up not safe at all and you really shouldn't use it if for no other reason than to protect yourself from whatever the fuck it might do to you.
