i forgive it all as it comes back to me

"? No" is such a foundational linguistic construction to my psyche. a hieroglyph. it should be a standard emoji

Something that's really annoying is when you either make a joke about or ask if some celebrity is gay and 500 million people jump out of the woodwork to be like "Oh, but sexuality doesn't matter, why do you care if they're gay or not? Shouldn't it just be that their talented?" Well because I swore a binding blood oath to ax murder every straight person I could find and I really can't get out of it so I do have to know if Pedro Pascal is gay for real or not.

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

I think you need to seriously sit with the feeling of being a little lost. Like genuinely. The daily banal problems you have. And I think it needs to happen in more than just creation and fun things. I think when someone makes a video you should watch the video a few times just to make sure they haven’t already said what you want to ask. Or when someone shows yarn they’re using for a craft, look at the label before you ask where you can buy it. And google the product used. You need to think how can I do this too and try and work it out for yourself instead of asking for a tutorial. Look for things even if you know someone else already knows probably where they are. You will likely figure it out. People are indeed asking stupid questions. Questions that would be answered if they spent maybe one more minute trying for themselves. It seems needless but problem solving is indeed an important skill. And it’s kind of insane that I’m seeing comments like “tutorial for cropping a shirt?” Please…….

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor
