Burn It All

when mary oliver said “i tell you this to break your heart by which i mean only that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world” and when warsan shire said “ya allah if it’ll keep my heart soft, break my heart every day”

also elena ferrante “she was taking on the job of sticking a pin in my heart, not to stop it but to make it beat harder”

and ross gay “in witnessing someone’s being touched, we are also witnessing someone’s being moved, the absence of which in ourselves is a sorrow, and a sacrifice. and witnessing the absence of movement in ourselves by witnessing its abundance in another can hurt. until it becomes, if we are lucky, an opening”

and ellen bass “you may have to break your heart but it isn’t nothing to know even one moment alive” and jenny slate “i’d rather live with a tender heart, because that is the key to feeling the beat of all of the other hearts” and marie howe “art helps us to let our heart break open, rather than close” 

If I got any gift from a crow I would keep it forever, I would affix these to the front door so they know I love and cherish them.

The laborers of the world need their own UN💯

people who grew up like in the 1960s or some shit: one of my fondest childhood memories is going to the lake and skipping rocks :) me: one of my fondest childhood memories is making 8 random sims and slowly killing them off one by one until a sole victor remained

Actually me

shut the fuck up u stupid dumb eight grade fucking bitch,, u never played the actual sims u only played the shitty mobile free play shit. shut the fuck up “actually me” you never actually played the fucking sims and you never will

You are absolutely right

in Among Us i hate it when im working and some fucker finds a dead body and calls a meeting. like bro this could have been an email. SOME of us have jobs on this ship

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u

the music made this one of the most hilarious things i have ever seen, thank you so much.

yea but in europe when they’re like “someone died here” they mean that like 4 generations have lived peacefully and passed of old age in this home. in america, “someone died here” is like “some dude locked his mom in the basement and she starved to death”

In Nebraska it’s illegal to talk about the ocean

i showed this to my dad and he said “nebraskans should stay in nebraska because the culture shock of talking to people who know what the ocean is would kill them instantly” and im not over it

this may come as a shock to some of y'all but my content has a single-person target audience and it’s me

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded. 

In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon

Can’t fathom how I’ve been on this site so goddamn long that there’s a whole new generation of people on here that don’t know who Moreos Guy was.
