oh my god

it's actually sick you get tired of eating the same food over and over when some animals they just eat grass all day mind you. just another pointless challenge mechanic added in by big universe to get you to go to the grocery store

the concept of death is so crazy to me, what do you mean one day I won’t be here but new music and new books will still be released and I just won’t be here to see it?

When Barbie came out I was worried people were being outsmarted by a sleepover movie for 12 year olds but heard haters’ reactions to the substance and now I think people just interpret female directors in the worst possible faith, which is even worse

This blog has been telling you not to trust pelicans for over a decade and this is why

Nobody wants to hear what People with long ass bios about fandoms and fan fics and their mental illnesses think about drug use in public. Sit your ass at home and watch bluey bitch we dgaf

society if people accurately described the scent of hair products

it’s either surface-level and subjective so not my type (“it’s smells really good” = they like the smell of soap) or it’s too general and nothing burger (“it smells like baby lotion” = ???) like what does that mean. is that in a good way or bad way. is it sweet-sugary or perfume-y??? BE SPECIFIC!!!

This website loves and fears intellectualism at the same time. It loves the social cachet of looking intellectual, it loves the rhythms of discourse, it loves the splendid authoritativeness of the seasoned scholar. But it fears the intense work and drive that it takes to become anything close to a real intellectual. It doesn’t care for reading difficult books or pitting its mind against challenges. It wants smoothness and digestibility. The result is a bunch of people standing around pretending to be intellectuals because they know a little jargon. And in the midst of this there are a handful of actual intellectuals and real-life scholars who are completely detached from all this posturing.

Real intellectualism requires real intellectual work, and real intellectual work is solitary, quiet, and patient. It has amazing rewards, if the rewards of intellectualism—understanding, thinking new thoughts, finding new ways to beauty—are what you really want. If not, you are under no obligation to be an intellectual. Do what you want forever, as they say. But don’t be a poser. It’s not cute and you will get dunked on, because intellectualism and haterism have gone hand in hand for millennia.

lol i litereally stopped reading right before one of his most important quotes. including it with a lot of added context because i always see that quote on its own without the rest of the conversation which is really fascinating.
