a character using ‘they/them’ pronouns is not cue for you to ‘call them whatever pronoun you think suits them best :)’ its a cue for you to use ‘they/them’ pronoun you stupid motherfucker
I did the being edgy and self-deprecating thing, it gets old. I wanna be soft and lovely and easily impressed. I wanna appreciate all the little things that make me happy the same way I’ve dwelled on every single thing that upsets me.
It makes me so so so happy and content to say that I did too and I feel the exact same way.. but I’m there with the apprciating small things and just loving instead of hating all that is me as well as just life, optimism is a great helper huh 😊

i don’t mean to sound fake deep but the reason 2018 felt so long was because we’re being fed what’s trending at such a rapid rate that we literally can’t remember half of the shit that even happened anymore. “Black Panther came out in February!” Marvel releases so many movies a year that we completely forget about the last movie as soon as a new one comes out and it repeats in a vicious cycle. “Tide Pods/Ugandan Knuckles was in January!” The life span of memes have been rapidly declining for years and it’s gotten to the point where the average lifespan of a meme is about 2 weeks and then the next thing gets popular and then that lasts for 2 weeks and it just keeps going. We’re literally losing our sense of time because of our rapid consumption of media and pop culture.
just a reminder that Jane Goodall had no formal education or degrees in anthropology or primatology before she was sent into Gombe to research chimpanzees.
Louis Leaky chose her because he wanted someone with an eagerness to learn, a free spirit, and an open mind, who hadn’t gone through the “academic process” of being told what to believe and what’s possible and not by professors and peers. He chose someone with no formal education or credibility and she went on to change the way we think about all non-human apes, and revolutionized anthropology and primatology.
