This hack will save your teeth: there are no “right” and “wrong” times to brush your teeth.
It gets in your head that you brush after eating when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Yeah that’s all well and good, but those are times that don’t have a lot of motivation and control…So just…brush your teeth at a different time.
You go to the bathroom in the middle of the day and are like “I should brush my teeth” DO IT!!!! Don’t listen to the other half of that sentence that says “shit but it’s not the right time”
I don’t care if you’re about to eat, or get coffee, or whatever.
If you are there and you want to…do it.
Honestly this hack will solve most of problems. Just stop assigning meaningless “right” and “wrong” to tasks and start saying “I can pretty much do whatever I want whenever I want and society and its expectations don’t really matter to me”.
If there’s no barrier in the first place you don’t have to get over it.
huge ADHD hack. if you can get over the “all or nothing”, moralizing, judging aspect of every action you “should” take, you’ll discover you can get more done than you expect.
I’m a big fan of the 2 PM shower. spend a whole morning feeling lazy and guilty, then just decide to start the day over again, even if it is lunchtime.
you can always begin again. any hour, any moment can be the beginning. you can choose that. the clock doesn’t run you, you run the clock
ppl have been tagging me as the artist, and i dont want to take credit for someone else’s work!! emma hunsinger is an illustrator who does a lot of the New Yorker cartoons and made this comic (which was featured in the new yorker) glad to have bring some ~emotions~ to you all though :))
thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity. spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.
A small collection (feel free to add):
@staff You're not very subtle.
I feel a lot of people have moral systems that are completely detached from centering avoiding real harm to real people and are mostly based on completely arbitrary obsessions with symbolic and abstract "wrongs" and gut feelings, and then they join progressive politics and make an absolute fucking mess out of everything with their weird little moralist obsessions that actually don't help improve anybody's life or serve any purpose besides making a few people feel morally superior. This is why for example anti-kink politics went from having a pretense of being about protecting vulnerable women from abusive men to just being very blatantly "if you have ever done kink at all you're ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew".
I think if you cannot describe the mechanism through which an action brings harm to real people then you probably don't have an actual argument as to why you consider the action in question to be immoral, and even if you can, you might find some people don't agree with your definition of harm or find the evidence for the existence of this harm mechanism to be lacking. Secular morality is a lot more complex than a lot of angry social media users might want you to believe it is.
‘being grossed out’ is not the same as being damaged, either. disgust is an emotional concern about hypothetical damage. the gross food might poison you. the gross person might sicken you. the gross behavior might endanger you. it’s just a pop-up alert that you might be in trouble if you continue. it’s just a warning sign. and everyone deserves to deal with that sign on their own.
prev rb is such a perfect summary like . if connoreatspants came on tumblr and came up to me and said stop posting c!schlonnor i think i'd respond with "get out of my house man" and block him. fan content is for fans not streamers LOL
not like ccs coming into fan spaces is like an actual issue that happens often but god do a lot of fans act like fan spaces need to cater towards being Streamer Friendly! like girl no if one of these fuckers comes into my house and starts complaining about my choice in decor that's their fault
in actuality there is little to no instances of direct streamer fan conflict about fan content and its just other fans inciting moral panic because they saw two minecraft cubes kissing or something. we live in a post serious stream age where everyone saw how cmc got a teenager harassed with actual violent death threats for making danganronpa crossover fanfic nobody else gave a shit about. no one wants to make that mistake again
kill the cop inside your brain, btw
I hate modern science fiction shows, all filmed in flatly lit green screen. I miss when science fiction shows weren’t cowards and just told the audience that every inhabited planet in the galaxy looked like British Columbia.
When they go to the futuristic planet you better believe they go to one of seven specific buildings in Vancouver.
important correction - american shows and high budget projects are filmed in vancouver
british sci fi is filmed in that one quarry in wales
live slug reaction has nothing on doctor who every couple of seasons when the master shows up for the first time after a bit and whoever the current companion is has to try n figure out why docs decided to make an exception for This Murderer, Specifically
pov: you’ve just been exposed to an uncomfortable amount of the doctor’s sex life
i do think it’s really funny that like. everyone is suffering and dying and starving to death and like “we’re at the end of the world……..the end of vanity……..not even god is here…….” and silna’s just like. right there. like “i live here.” like one of the first things we learn about her is that she’s eating well. on the walk from erebus to terror, the crewmen are visibly freezing, the scene immediately preceding it has a man getting a frostbitten toe amputated, and silna isn’t phased bc this is where she lives. this is her home. her clothes are appropriate for the weather and she’s used to it, while they’re wearing coats suited to english winters
ultimately the whole point of the show is made by silna just. being in the scenes. these white englishmen arrogantly stormed into this place they dont know how to live in thinking they could conquer it by sheer virtual of being white englishmen and they suffer and starve and rot from the inside out and ultimately die. and meanwhile silna is just also there, healthy and hale except for the fact that her life has been ruined by these random people showing up in her home and throwing it into chaos, because they’re the only thing wrong here
From Kathryn Schulz’s “Literature’s Arctic Obsession”:
Almost invariably, the poles appear in these works [of nineteenth-century English literature] as the place where nature reveals its horrifying indifference to humanity; where humanity itself falls away, leaving men to descend into madness and violence; above all, where the dream of universal mastery goes catastrophically awry.
That ominous vision bears virtually no resemblance to Conan Doyle’s second account of the Arctic. … This time, the search for the North Pole was “a challenge to human daring,” those who conducted it were men of “indomitable pluck, wonderful self-abnegation, and devotion,” and the Arctic itself was “a training school for all that was high and godlike in man.”
… As the later Canadian explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson noted, John Franklin’s entire crew died of starvation and exposure in an area where, for generations, the Inuit had raised their children and tended their elderly. It was possible to live and even thrive in the Arctic—but, steeped in the racial prejudices of colonial England, almost all of Britain’s polar explorers declined to imitate indigenous ways of travelling, hunting, eating, and staying warm. Everywhere else in the former British Empire, English chauvinism led to the death of untold numbers of native people. In the Arctic, English chauvinism led to the death of untold numbers of Englishmen.
The Victorian English imagination takes it in turns to romanticize and demonize the lands and the peoples they conquer. When the land is not as immediately hospitable as they had hoped or imagined it to be (cf. the imaginary “Hyperborean” warm and ice-free sea theorized to exist beyond the 80th parallel), it changes from a trans-oceanic paradise ripe for the picking of resources and scientific knowledge, into a forbidding hellscape whose only aim is to crush out life. This duality of perspective is repeated again and again in the annals of British colonialism (Pacific Islands, India, early America) where both greedy enjoyment/extraction and violent fear of the Other are not at all mutually exclusive.
Of course, the Victorian obsession with nature as symbol or nature as “vehicle for philosophical or religious themes,” rather than nature as existence or fact, hamstrung explorers’ ability to take the dangers of the Arctic at simple face value and to successfully use the technologies already developed by the people who lived there.
category of blorbo called "technically i like them but fanons obsession with them to the exclusion of other characters pavloved me into having a negative reaction whenever i see them"
and then they all kiss and make oit
why do yuo hate me so much
you're all uninvited from the tumblrina make out/cuddle pile
Idk a lot of the backlash to broadening who falls under what terms comes from the need to distinctly fall under the specific label you worked towards…but distance from adjacent labels only limits your allies and puts you in a rigid box you can’t come back out of either.
Saw a post by a trans woman horrified by the concept of having overlapping experience with femboys because “fuck you I am a woman.” You are. A woman with a lot of overlapping experience with a GNC man. You’re not a GNC man. He’s not a woman. And the gap between you two is not a chasm.
“How dare you say trans men are similar to butch lesbians. Trans men are men.” Yeah, men with similar experiences to butch lesbians. The butch lesbian isn’t a man. You aren’t a woman. And the gap between you is not a chasm.
This mindset doesn’t even account for GNC men who also ID as women, trans men who use the label of lesbian. Butch can be a label for a person of either AGAB.
Binary trans people wanna separate themselves from each other and from nonbinary people sooo bad. Now it makes eggs feel like the jump from GNC woman to man is an insurmountable journey. A femboy gets told he’s making a mockery of trans women’s experiences. A transmasc femboy is seen as just a faker. A butch trans lesbian is seen as a faker.
These labels are all just plots on the map, not one side or the other. You journey to the farthest edges and you find twinks and lesbians who look and act identical despite being supposed opposites. It’s all made up, we’re all queer.
Idk if we could afford an impromptu PS5 but I would certainly try
Pearl and her diamond 'hoes'
(wasnt really gonna upload this but I edited this song in that I found after I finished it and im really happy with how perfect it matches lmao)
Yes we need more chaste twee baby gay romances like heartstopper and yes we also need more shows where men fuck raw to express their love for one another like Élite and yes we need more toxic gays having hate sex like Interview with the Vampire and yes we need more incidental gay characters like the dads in cartoons like Owl House.
It's not a competition! It's a hoard and I'm like a gay little Smaug.
the normalization of porn in mainstream media is a weird take to have
Normalization of gay desire and yes, even gay sex, is paramount to gay liberation actually.
