I had the weirdest dream last night where it was about a next big meme trend, and it was basically another this vs that meme but it was “Lock screen vs Home screen” whereas the lock screen was depicted as something formal and relatively uninteresting like a businessman sitting at a desk while the home screen was always something chaotic and insane like gorillas fighting alligators and it. People would take sides online on which person they were more like, home screen or lock screen and it made absolutely no sense and I

It basically looked like this

god FUCKING damnit im such a hopeless romantic one day someones gonna say “i love you” and im just going to let out an agonized scream so horrible that they immediately change their mind

Man losing stuff when you have ADHD is the worst. Stuff just like… vanishes. People will ask: when did you last have it? Well I don’t know dude. I just know it exists and I don’t know where it is currently doing that.

It was there, but then it dimension shifted on me.

“PIcture it in your head: where do you see it?”

I dunno, man, I have a REALLY strong visual imagination; I can picture it down the back of the sofa or under a Mars rover with equal believability.

“…we have a 10-word bio in the program because there are so many people in the show. the 10 words i wrote are, ‘this is for all those whose shoulders i stand on.’ when i sing ‘go the distance’ i think about all the black men who have been enslaved, incarcerated, assassinated - i think about them. there is a hero inside all of them. it’s the most empowering moment i’ve ever had on stage.” - jelani alladin on playing hercules.

child: *is passionate about absolutely anything*

parent: gotta insult it

Teen *hides passion because they were insulted for it*

Parent: why doesn’t my child tell me anything? Must be social meadia

Adult: *cagey and dull and passionless, grey existence*

Parent: *you should just try finding something you’re passionate about!*

As a bi woman I feel personally attacked by Hozier’s music, because I am torn between: 

1) wanting to worship women like he does in his songs and never sleep with a dude again; 

2) wanting a dude to worship me like Hozier does the women in his songs; or

3) wanting to go to Ireland, lie down on a fairy mound, and hope that Hozier comes and spirits me away to the land where he and all the fae women he worships live 

I’ve never related more in my life

Hozier: Plays™

Me: 

no offense but “family is the people you choose to surround yourself with and love you dearly” will literally ALWAYS be a better theme and a better concept than “love the family you were arbitrarily stuck with because they’re related to you”

Not to sound like a 90s shallow prep, but how you dress can affect your self esteem, and putting energy into wearing things you actively like and projecting an ideal of yourself through fashion instead of seeing clothes as things you have to put on out of obligation helps.

It also can give you a sense of control over your appearance that you otherwise wouldn’t have lmao

I bought a cape because of this

this post is written in a humorous tone but this is the realest shit.

two years ago i wore baggy sweatpants and flip flops every day because i was depressed but then decided eh to hell with it and bought some black edgy emo clothes bc thats how i always wanted to dress but never got a chance to and it was only then that i realized that the sweatpants flip flops look was just keeping me in my depression funk. i didnt like the way i looked and i didnt identify with the clothes i was wearing and it only made me feel worse.

i then went through my entire wardrobe and got rid of everything that made me feel that way.

now i have multiple outfit possibilities requiring different levels of effort but on days where putting on clothes just seems like a project i just have to put on black jeans and a band t-shirt and i can still feel good about the way i look which is a really good way to start off my day.

i can not recommend this approach to clothing enough.

Is this 1953? Oh, but this is a brilliant year, classic! Technicolor, Everest climbed! Everything off the ration! A nation throwing off the shackles of war and looking forward to a happier, brighter future!

It’s cleaning time again only instead of using just the faucet I decided to try the shower head instead. I left him like this for 20 mins while I cleaned out and scrubbed his cage.

I feel like Africa is playing in his head

does anyone else remember playing that swordfighting game on wii sports resort where you just swung your controller around like a madman wasting the shit out of everyone else in the game until you won

unrestrained summer fun

PSA: Please don’t put fish in tiny bowls! If you found a tiny bowl and you’re just dying to put something living in it consider Marimos!! They look adorable in bowls, jars, vases, you name it! As long as they’re submerged in water and out of direct sunlight, they’re happy plants that live hundreds of years!
