he is sitting and pondering

I'm begging you to turn the sound on

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Everytime this crosses my dash my eyes light up because I know my favourite part is coming. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring.

Trains are hecking cool!

Hey, it might be a bit cliché, given that I am an autistic Solarpunk, but can we just talk about how fucking cool trains are?

They are fairly fast and move a ton of people at the same time. Due to the reduced friction on the rails, they are also way less energy consumptive than basically any other form of transport (with maybe the exception of the cable car, which does not work quite so good in most areas, though and is way slower).

Given that they can run completely on electricity, we can actually run them completely on renewable energy, too. And because they do not store the energy but draw it directly from their own grid, we do not need as much in terms of rare earths to get them moving, as for example electric cars.

And obviously they can move a lot of people at the same time. Everything about them is super efficient.

As an extra: They also reduce micro plastics. Because here is the thing: A lot of the microplastics we currently have in nature do not come from any sort of garbage, but from wheel abrasions of car tires and the like. Something that metal wheels on metal rails have way less off.

So, what I am saying is: Trains are hecking cool. We should totally build more rails and go to more places via train!

You can’t deserve a person’s love. You’ll drive yourself crazy thinking like that. They either love you, or they don’t. That doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough for them to love you, because love isn’t something you earn by being good enough. It isn’t something that can be quantified or doled out. Don’t blame yourself for not being loved how you need to, just teach yourself how to look for love where love lives.

This isn’t just about romantic love, or even skewed towards romantic love, although it does apply there too. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to accept is that my mother simply wasn’t someone who was capable of loving me, and there is no version of me that I could have ever been that would have earned that love. But with acceptance came healing. I was able to love myself more instead of resenting myself for not being more than any one person could be.

Are you listening? Even love for yourself isn’t earned. It is a kindness you give yourself.

I was talking about being afraid of people leaving me behind because I'm too sick, and my boyfriend just looked at me and said: "It's my choice to be your boyfriend. It's your friends choice to be your friends. You don't have to understand it, but you have to respect our choice. Don't try to make the decision of whether you're worthy of people on their behalf because that's not your decision to make." I think that's an important thing to remember. That whether we're worthy of someone's time and effort is something others can decide for themselves regardless of whether or not we agree with them. There's a lot of peace in realizing that literally all you have to do is accept the love other people choose to throw your way. That you aren't the one who gets to determine that you aren't worthy of their love. That other people can choose to love you regardless of how you feel about yourself - and that you can learn to respect their choice even though you're feeling unworthy.

SOMETHING. IS ON THE ROOF.

The 2 types of people on Tumblr.

There is a domestication movement of possums in America. I think ours are cuter too. are you guys domesticating them?

Australian possums are definitely cuter than American possums, and no, that sounds like a terrible idea. The last thing we need is even more animals running around that are unowned but dependent on humans.

Where I live does have a giant sinkhole where tourists go to feed the resident possums bits of fruit, though.

I kinda actually love that. But also, all I can think is, “Hey kiddos, wanna go for a trip to the POSSUM PIT??!??!”

My aunt and uncle got married in the possum pit.

It’s a hole in the ground. There are some possums in it. If you give them bits of apple they will eat it. I don’t understand the question.

The sinkhole looks like this:

The possums live in the walls.

I wish to live near or inside the possum pit

Tourists & Traps 1st Stop: The Possum Pit!

Why is this still getting notes

I love how magical this is and how the Australian is just like

#this is SO RAD tho#I have no idea where in Australia this is#or I’d be going there

Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death is coming out in October!! 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈

I've seen posts declaring this via the tumblr time-honoured meme Castiel: I love you; Dean: 🏴‍☠️ - which is great, we are tumblr, but could someone please do one with Ed/Stede saying I love you and Stede/Ed answering Our Flag Means Death s2 comes out in October?

Barbie (2023) really had Barbie say “hey. I know the reason you hurt me is because I hurt you. I’m sorry I hurt you, because you didn’t deserve that. I know you are a better person than this, and you are fully capable of being that person. I can’t change the past, and I don’t think we can be in each other’s lives anymore without hurting each other, but i am sorry and I want you to be happy. I want you to find your identity and love yourself and live.” and then she realizes she’s also talking about herself.

she’s saying “I deserve to live. We both deserve to live.” it is one of the kindest things I have ever seen done to someone and to themselves in any piece of media ever

“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we’re always doing it wrong?

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.

You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean.

You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas.

You’re supposed to love being a mother, but don’t talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining!

You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!

You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says ‘thank you!’ And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I’m just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.

And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don’t even know.“ -Gloria the barbie movie

this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.
