I usually despise saying a homophobic politician is gay because it feels like blaming the community for their own oppression but it is important to note Lindsey Graham was gay and this was an open secret his entire life that he thought he was hiding well from South Carolina

Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)

Genuinely, thank you so much for this.

I find calligraphy and practicing your handwriting to be a really good hobby for anxiety. It is frustrating when you fuck up but it doesn’t matter because you’re just making shapes and words on a piece of paper until you get better. It’s fun to practice with different pens and markers and try different scripts. You can do this while watching TV or listening to music or just sitting in silence. Low pressure if you practice with affordable materials and work your way up.

I've adopted this mentality as part of my journaling - vent about the day and the stresses of the future in the best cursive I can muster. Forgot a letter? That's the anthropologists problem, not mine 😂😂

i don't support all women's rights & wrongs some of you are terfs

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

tumblr users being generally knowledgeable about phishing attempts and scams and yet not hesitating to click various links from unknown users because they say such things as "spin the wheel to determine your alvin and the chipmunks band persona based on my favorite italian desserts" and we go "heck yeah."

my number one advice for parents is to listen to your children tbh. and i dont just mean listening to their problems i mean like. when your kid recites the plot of a movie youve already seen or your tells you about what they did at school today or wants to show you their roblox gameplay. youve gotta be invested in knowing your kid as a person or why are you even doing the whole parenting thing.

i'm gonna go to leather bars and start calling myself a biker instead of a cyclist.

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great
