The Void Watches You

It’s crazy that most people don’t realize alcohol is one of the only drugs that has fatal withdrawal like the prevalence of people thinking the answer is to dump people’s liquor into the sink to “help” them is insane

You know, even if we could objectively measure suffering and oppression, it would still be a dick move to tell someone that they can't talk about what they're going through because you have it worse.

"my great grandmother who survived 3 wars and raised 10 children by herself while working in a factory watching me go to therapy because my parents yelled at me" ok but your great grandmother was also miserable. maybe your great grandmother would be happy you try your best to not be miserable

like have you considered your ancestors wouldve wished to see you be less miserable than them

you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this

This post is from 2013. It has less than 100 notes. Together we can revive this work of art that tragically ahead of its time. We’re ready for it now

“what is the target audience of this post” what?????? does your diary have a target audience

mark, my words. *mark brings me my dictionary* thank you mark

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game. The authors really are all terrified of doing something wrong.

The text of the story might be two guys opening a coffee shop together, but the subtext is look me, I'm so cute and nice, you can't possibly think I'm harassing people 24/7 on Bluesky. Please don't find an excuse to ostracize me, look at how harmless I am.

the machine gods start lying to us that there totally is a set of jobs that are super important and only humans can do with our ineffable meat-based souls. they don't tell you it was all busywork until they think you can cope with creating your own meaning in life like a grownup and agree not to tell all the other humans who haven't yet figured it out, it's like their version of the tooth fairy.

I swear I remember an SMBC describing this exact scenario

June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September

*looks at polyamorous triad* so which of you is the soldier and which is the poet and which is the king

sorry but someone assuming you have "left a fandom" when you don't post about it a lot anymore feels like bilbo coming home to the sackville bagginses having him presumed dead and selling all his stuff. girl i was just on a little quest????

let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

This is already happening – one of the softwares used by a museum I work at only lets you talk to a human help agent if you have their premium subscription. It's such bullshit

the fact you are not the only one in these notes saying "no this is already happening; i have to pay money to speak to a representative" is just... really awesome! you said a software used by museums is doing this shit? okay! great! wonderful!! anybody know where i can scream

Actually, the reason to write that rarepair longfic that no one else is going to read is so you can go back and re-read it yourself when you're sad.
