adults of tumblr, what do you think of your 14yo self?
- hate them
- pretending they never existed
- they were kinda cringe
- they were ok, but I'm not that person anymore
- they were an important phase in my life
- I'm proud of them
- I'm literally still them but with taxes
- I'm 14/under 18 (go do your homework)
- idk/I'm bald/other nuanced answer
run me through 🫶
The funniest thing about biphobia is that when it's directed towards men it's just homophobia and when it's directed towards women it's just misogyny. But the woke kind so it's actually okay
Oh you're definitely one of the "woke kind" of misogynists.
Your tags have passed peer review thank u for your service
being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."
- Yes, this is stupid
- It does work to disrupt unhelpful behavior
- If it's Stupid but it works, its not stupid.
This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.
If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.
This is honestly one of the places I find Marie Kondo's advice most helpful. I stop, look at the thing I've spent time and money on only to realize I dislike, and I say, "Thank you for teaching me something about myself and my preferences. I think I've learned this particular lesson and we can part ways now."
And then I don't feel like I "wasted" things or made a mistake. I just tried one path of learning about myself, learned something, and now it's time for a different path. Works a lot better for my brain.
The time Marie Kondo said "you can thank a a shirt you've never worn for teaching you about your taste", thereby making it NOT A WASTE literally rewired my whole brain. Acknowledge the thing and move forward, even if that means leaving the thing behind.
hmmm…pretty sure one of these is not quite like the others
Kira could have intentionally poisoned the station gossip well by telling some people it's hers and Keiko's baby, telling some people Bashir got her pregnant, and telling some people that Miles is the father. Can you imagine?
And she does it just by truthfully answering whatever question she gets about the pregnancy - just like with Dukat.
“Who’s the father?”
“The Chief.”
“Who got you pregnant!?”
“Doctor Bashir.”
“Whose baby is that?”
“It’s Keiko’s.”
(There is a lot more. Rather than give you all the images, I've copied the full text below.)
- This is actually the most hopeful thing I've read since the election. It's hard to believe we'll all be okay just because we're full of spite or we're on the right side of history. It's easy to believe Trump and his administration is a pile of venomous bucket crabs in clownshoes.
- Take that part about grifters and amateur analysts on the left seriously. Scam artists take advantage of panic and desperation, and a lot of us are feeling panicked and desperate. Also, when people are panicked and desperate, their critical thinking skills suck and they don't necessarily come to logical conclusions even when doing their best. God knows I've fallen for scams and dramatic worst case scenarios. The most important thing is to check your sources and be suspicious of dramatic appeals to emotion (though dramatic appeals to emotion don't mean something is false, either).
- Isolation fries your brain. I know there are lots of ways to wind up trapped in an isolating situation, but reach out to other people- preferably multiple groups of other people- any way you can. Volunteering is a good way to do this.
