Trash but Trying

I’ve been seeing so many posts about burnout relating to working/studying hard......but burnout from fighting mental illnesses, disabilities, and chronic conditions needs to be talked about more. When you struggle with these things, you fight so many invisible battles a day that you don’t even realize you’re burnt out. You don’t have to be studying or working or “oN tHe gRiNd” to be burnt out. Being strong every day is the most grueling and exhausting kind of work. Please know that you are valid, even if you can’t get up and work/study. You are having to learn a curriculum that school doesn’t teach, and I’m so proud of you <33

You: seeing six crows is bad luck and an omen of death

Me, an intellectual: seeing six crows is great luck because you get to see six crows

listen, as a government regulator, please for the love of god call your city code enforcement on your landlords more often. we often have our hands tied and cannot enforce the law on code and permit violations until a citizen files a formal complaint. use the services available! PLEASE!

"what are you a cop" is bookaziraphale's entire mindset btw. "is it very angelic to hoard books and be mean to customers" what are you a cop? "should you really be married to your adversary" what are you a cop? "should your husband be parking his car there" ah you ARE a cop. explodes your ticket notebook with his mind. like in his mind if the lord herself doesn't come down to tell him off he's doing just fine. because he's doing it. and if she DOES come down (where is the flaming sword I gave to thee) well then. what is she a cop

no so true. in fact I think this was a key experience in his conviction that he is correct about everything ever. after all she did not ask him again

book Crowley: you’re an angel, you can’t do the wrong thing book Aziraphale: you are absolutely right. everything i do *is* the right thing book aziraphale really took ‘do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law’ and ran with it

speaking as a fan of both, why do steven universe fans talk about it like it’s miraculous ladybug. steven universe was actually good

see this is what I’m talking about. literally no one came after me for this. everyone has been agreeing with me that steven universe is good.

like. you don’t even NEED to put disclaimers before mentioning you like anything “cringey” anyway. you can just not say that part. you don’t have to apologize. cringe is dead blah blah blah I’m literally a miraculous ladybug fan.

but like. steven universe was good. not badgood or “bad but fun to watch” it was GOOD. even the height of the “su critical” era was like. obviously irrational and bad faith arguments made by people who think they know how the animation industry works.

and yet people act as though the simple act of admitting you like it will put you on a hit list. the extreme dichotomy of perception & reality is jarring to see

I should also add, and this goes for cringe culture in general, is that how you present yourself can invite the reaction you’re trying to avoid.

Like, a couple of people have mentioned the “in defense of Steven Universe” video that’s been going around. the fact that they’re framing it as a “defense” implies the status quo ought to be offense.

by apologizing, you are locking people in the position of forgiver, as if they SHOULD be angry with or critical of you. you’re casting them in a role and people will play the part without even realizing it.

so consider what status quo you actually want to present. if you want people to like the things you like, maybe don’t give them a reason to think they’re not supposed to

happy hallowing you can take TWO pieces

Being in your twenties is just

Have I eaten today? Do I have autism? I want a new job. Am I dehydrated? God, I want top surgery so bad. Where's my birth certificate? Oh it's nice out today! Should I get high tonight? I'm so hungry. I'm so sad. Do my friends hate me? I need a nap. I'd be so much hotter without tits.

'Revenge is bad' to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i'm different

truth is stranger than fiction

every time i ask people if they do any new years resolutions its all ooooo i dont like making them bc i fail or ohhhhh no i couldnt keep up wiht that and then when they ask me and i tell them about Pasta Quest (i am eating as many different pasta shapes as possible in the space of a year) or when i did Fruit Adventures (every time i saw a fruit i had never eaten before id get one and eat it and read the wikipedia article about it) theyre like hang on i forgot you can make Fun Ones i want a fun one

i need to look like a man so i can dress like a woman

this got seven notes in like seven seconds its a hit with the faggots in my phone

gender non-conforming people we are all holding hands in this chilis tonight

I'm rereading TLT because I have horrible impulse control and i will never get over the stark contrast of the Lotus Casino scenes of both the movie and book

Because movie Percy's like:

Meanwhile the absolute perfection book Percy goes:

those posts always go around that are like “if you’re on Tumblr and you’re over 25 blah blah blah” but honestly if you’re on Tumblr and you’re under 25, I don’t know how the fuck you found this place. like I came here when it was actually kind of cool and then just never left because all my stuff was here. what’s your excuse

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

some people are responding to this like its a joke and im going to assume u are the type of people to say "its only a 3 minute walk" when i tell them the nearest bench is too far away

also anyone who thinks "3 minutes isnt THAT bad" you will be old one day. and you will wish the bench was closer

there's something compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.

also yes i do enjoy a bit of penetration imagery and the perverse intimacy of violence. if you must know.

this is great actually
