No, you see, I wish to be an author. Not in marketing. Or an influencer. I wish to tell my stories, be told I did a fantastic job, and then go back to my hovel to scribble some more. I am delicate of constitution and awkward in crowds.

WAIT HOLD ON I cannot fucking believe when I was like four years old my parents were cajoling me to walk with the family and trying to get me to keep up even though I kept insisting that I was "tired" until they took me to a doctor and found out my LUNGS DIDN'T WORK. how insane that we live in a world where reasonably loving parents think their FOUR YEAR OLD is trying to be LAZY. like they were mortified to be clear. adults are just so trained to ignore children's complaints as untrustworthy, kids just need discipline, they can't possibly speak for themselves. what the fuuuuck.

YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE BTW you should always be trying to take children seriously, especially very little ones but definitely all of them. the most disempowered class basically legally defined as property and most people are like "yeah that's good actually I hate when they Loiter lol they're stupid and loud and i actually think children should stop existing. restrict their personhood more actually"

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

tbh? it was made by an evangelical Christian who does not think the other denominations of Christianity are actual Christianity. all Muslims are just Muslim to him but you gotta separate the Catholics from the Lutherans from the Quakers because they’re all different varieties of wrong

Using “overpaid” NHL players to contrast the earnings of players like MPP and Knight glosses over the fact that even someone like Darnell Nurse is wildly underpaid for the value he contributes to a job that, statistically, will leave him permanently disabled before the age of 40

happy pride to the nhl player who was preparing to come out and changed his mind. I hope he's happy and loved.

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

do you guys remember having hopes and dreams

ok idk why this is breaking containment but to be clear this post is about Game 3 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Western Conference Finals where the Colorado Avalanche were up 3-0 against the Vegas Golden Knights after the first period and then managed to lose the game 3-5. I do see how it could be interpreted as being about the general disillusionment of adulthood but I was actually talking about ice hockey

architects designing houses in the 70s-90s: okay, what if you had to step up and step down and step up and step down and the floor itself was a deadly tripping hazard
