Is the idea that you have an appetizer then your meal then dessert from top to bottom because that's not a good idea

Yes that is the idea and yes it is a bad one.

And I realized it was because I had no stories in me. The lifeless garden had removed me from language. There were no light-dappled leaves, no mushroom rings, no fathomless well; there were no hilltops for the wolves to roam against, bleak as the swallow of my life. And there was no one else, either. Only my own solitude, and rumors of a home which, so too, fades more and more with the passing season. My own arms atrophy, being held outwards for so long, being so empty. And I dig up little graves, each full with some sickly machinery of want, their humiliation. I am caught in their eyes, like owls in the deep wood. What should I ask of the thing I am? I want my griefmouth to slacken, the violent furrows to fold over, for true rest, and for stories again. Let something else walk this wood beyond me.

“It was around then that I realized for the first time that falling in love is like being haunted. Even before I opened my eyes in the morning, you would slip in under my eyelids. When I opened them, you instantly transferred to the ceiling, the wardrobe, the windowpane, the street, the far-off sky, and glimmered there like dappled light. You haunted me more persistently than I imagine any ghost ever could.”

the progressive removal of usb ports, headphone jacks, etc. is desexualization. a computer is a woman and she wants you to penetrate her

"Stop being funnier than me on my own post" is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like "hang on lemme look that up...yeah this is funny" and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let's build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you've really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here's the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction
