Can music save your mortal soul?

crabs are so gentle, they can be so kind. their claws? precise little things, so careful in the sand, so careful with food. they do what they must to live and wave their claws to express their joy to the world for giving so much to them, for giving such kindness to these creatures known as crabs. please be gentle to crabs

i was on. a new sleep medication last night

someone could probably say something pretty about fossils, constellations, and stars in the sky

white usamericans when asked how they're doing, will never say "bad". they'll just say "I'm hanging in there" and that is universally understood as them being so so bad. like. no american is happily hanging in there. we don't like the hang.

Modern royalty au Elia Nymeros Martell is Princess Diana. To me.

Teenaged Lyanna Stark however is experiencing levels of harassment not seen since Monica Lewinsky.

There's a nationwide manhunt for missing teen Lyanna and then Elia files for divorce with the listed reason being infidelity instead of irreconcilable differences. Benjen Stark's police statement about witnessing Lyanna getting in a car with the crown prince gets leaked to the press. Brandon Stark is shot and killed by palace security while trying to get an audience with the royal family and his father (also present) is arrested and has a "heart attack" in his cell. Ned Stark shows up in a Dornish hospital with a heavily pregnant Lyanna. Scandal so nuclear it abolishes the monarchy.

This all results in Viserys growing up to be socialite and reality TV star Paris Hilton.

I can no longer feel the infinite sadness

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

OH HELL THE FUCK YES

That it's no longer on poob?

This is incomprehensible outside of tumblr, i love a well maintained closed ecosystem

"Not dating or having sex isn't even a source of discrimination in real life-" How many rights and benefits are tied up in marriage contracts though? How much of our economic and societal structure is built with the clear expectation that people couple up and support each other? Where's the security nets and affordable options for people who will never have a partner/spouse to take care of them? How many people save serious commitment only for people they have a romantic and sexual relationship with? How many people will unquestionably prioritize their sexual and romantic relationship above all other social connections in their lives? And where does that leave the people who don't want that at all, ever?

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.

the third best is the one the author wrote out of spite due to some really dogshit discourse going on in their fandom

This is so. Fucking. GORGEOUS.

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

It is useful for people to understand and experience the fact that people of all ages, from all walks of life, can be compassionate, wise, delighted with the same things you are, and also, on occasion, blisteringly stupid. Because that's humanity.

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

I need this framed on my wall it’s so beautiful.
