I have manifested

the whole point of life is being deeply moved by art. and bread

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

The sheer energy. The beauty of this woman. The women hugging in the background. The man in rainbow parachute pants. This whole video is art.

This is what world peace looks like

trying to explain to a 50 something criminal profiler that suicidal teenagers are people responding to internal logic with root causes rather than mindless droids who catch social contagions via rock music and tiktok

“but they seemed so happy!” yeah that’s the oldest suicide cliche in the book. it’s called hiding things and the more you act like suicidality is some irrational external contagion that can be prevented by taking away freedoms the more you train your kid to hide things.

yes! the brain must be exercised like any other part of the body to get stronger! no matter what place you’re at you can do stimulating activities to exercise your brain!

the self is a guy you made up to get mad at

shit like “I’m just a girl” and “girl math” and “girl failure” makes my blood boil. They’re not harmless turns of phrase they’re misogynistic talking points that have been abstracted enough to become palatable and “funny,” but not so much that they have lost their use as tools to demean women. And they’re so insidious because they can fly under the radar. Because it can seem like harmless jokes to make with other women. But when all your jokes are contributing to a narrative of pathetic girls who can’t make themselves real dinner and don’t want to do real math and are really just 26 year old teenage girls, you have to wonder, who does this benefit? It’s like how suicide jokes reinforce poor mental health even when they’re genuinely intended as jokes. But it’s worse, because even if you know you don’t actually believe you’re “just a girl,” there are many, MANY people out there who do. You aren’t just negatively impacting yourself, you’re feeding a broader patriarchal narrative.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

People who are making posts telling us what is happening over on threads, twitter, and Instagram are like war correspondents sending us reports from the front.

‘relationships are work’ means ‘you have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properly’ not ‘your relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anyway’

Wishing you a relaxed nervous system
