Birders: do you ever wonder if this happens?
THEY DO!!! I’VE SEEN IT!!! Those motherfuckers run across those trees head down with no spacial awareness and get so startled and bewildered when they bump into eachother. It’s hilarious
taking away a clowngirl's makeup telling her she doesn't have to be a clown she can just be a normal silly billy and correcting her any time she tries to juggle until she gets sadder and sadder and eventually stops talking altogether and just communicating via gestures and realizing with horror you've created a mimegirl
you get it
outdoor cat defenders really are simply some of the most Delusional people on the planet, like you can list fact after fact all with verified sources about how bad it is to let cats outside for both them & the environment around them and people will cover their ears and be like "umm not my frumpkins he knows not to play in traffic & he has magical resistance to coyotes and disease"
thinking back to the time that a random girl told me how her cat would always find injured wildlife and bring them to her to try and heal them.
the mental gymnastics genuinely had me speechless
bonus:
possibly stupid question but couldn’t the democrats just like lie about their campaign promises. like just say oh we’ll give kids free lunches we’ll give everyone healthcare and then quietly tell their donors it’s all horseshit so they don’t lose any money from Big Child Lunch Debt. like can’t you just lie. it feels like there is 0 cost to doing this once you get in power aside from people being mad at you when they don’t get what you promised, which seems to happen all the time anyway, and is marginally more inspiring than “nothing will fundamentally change.” like am i missing something obvious or is “addicted to losing” the actual explanation
What’s especially funny is that this is pretty much exactly what Obama did in 2008 and it worked. He successfully did an ideological rugpull on exactly those terms and very few people in the US even cared that he didn’t follow through on his promises
It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar
The human brain needs the ability to be recalibrated faster. Yeah we’ve been doing this healing process for like six or seven years now make it snappy hurry it up
there is no old self to get back to there’s a new u to create n nurture
Actually that no punctuation plot hole ooc wattpad fanfic written by that 12 year old will ALWAYS be better than character ai. And I love that 12 year old btw
This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants
we have to get boys dressing better. NOT in suits like the twitter menswear guy wants. flowy robes maybe. or microbikinis
tumblr please stop telling me to wd40 a mouse
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.
you gotta be able to say "die"
you gotta be able to say "suicide"
you gotta be able to talk about "sex"
they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE
because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.
even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"
like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
This is what's so goddamn terrifying about the Internet slowly collapsing into the same 3-5 websites--if Facebook deprioritizes you for saying "sex" and TikTok shadowbans you for saying "suicide" and Twitter X locks your account for saying "racism" we've lost a lot more than just the culture of the old weird internet
