really glad ben went to eight-time NBA star dwight howard with his failsex w/ devi problems. knowing him it was between that and making a reddit AITA post
seeing a lot of takes recently (and this was popular during john green’s time here too) that adults who make content targeted towards kids or teens are automatically, not just cringe, but suspect? which is such an insane thing to believe because like…..who else would be writing books for 8-year olds? other 8-year olds? learn to just admit you don’t like someone or their work without implying they’re a pedophile, my god
Fucking thank you!
Reminder that one way to isolate minors for more easy abuse is to teach them to fear and suspect all other adults. Because adults are supposed to be responsible for helping kids in trouble, and many of them will do so given the chance. So if you want a kid to "accept" (be unable to escape) abuse, then you don't want them to have any other trusted people to describe what's happening to, because then you risk those adults interfering.
Don't trust anyone preaching this philosophy.
The safest kids have a wide, trustworthy, safe social net, with lots of options for someone noticing if something is amiss if something is infact amiss.
I’ve recently seen people say, across social medias, that they automatically distrust anyone who’s going into nursing, teaching, social work, etc. I’m starting to think that all of this “abusers gravitate toward positions over vulnerable people!!” talk may have done incredible harm without nuance.
Your big life and world philosophy cannot be unmitigated, completely unprocessed anxiety and trauma. You’ve just turned “all people of x type/group bad” woke. No good will come from always searching for ways to validate your crippling trust issues.
lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it
we need more movies about incredibly weird erotically charged toxic relationships between women. it’s so goddamn dire out here man
i don’t even necessarily mean romantic or sexual relationships i fully mean like. extremely fucked up, totally unethical, mutually damaging, but totally ambiguous platonic relationships
Look at every city. The nicest buildings are usually the post office and the library.
We need libraries. They are a reflection of our society. Cops do not need more money, especially at the expense of libraries.
Eric Adams will never feel shame. He is drawn to decisions that are horrible for society.
The New York Public Library has saved exponentially more lives than the New York Police Department. Fuck all the way off with your fascist mayor.
It will forever haunt me that I cannot share this joke with everyone I meet
I will be reblogging this every time it comes on my home page, thank you.
the thing twitter has over tumblr is the ability to have handles next to your url which is especially good in the case of environmental storytelling, for example the person that tweeted something like "every time a gay person [does something nonserious] I go to chick fil a" as an obvious joke and their handle in the screenshot was "[name] the GAY IM GAY" you really cant get that level of storytelling here
This is the one
for years you have paraded around in public, wearing a hat that so boldly claims that women want you and fish fear you. you know just as well as i do that this is a lie. can you live up to the bar your hat sets? currently you are being lowered into a tank of piranha, and only your wife has the controls to save you. does this woman truly want you, or will it be you who fears the fish? let the game begin
tumblr posts’ standards have reached such level of absurdity that i saw this post and considered it just another normal tumblr post till i read the url
Tell me, Will-
I honestly read the first post and, because all I really follow are writing blogs, I just shrugged it off as a writing prompt
if tumblr ever starts forcing us to censor kill and die and murder and fuck and cunt and fag i’m deleting my account and starting an email chain with the mutuals
hey (with the intentions to assemble all of your ikea furniture for fun while you drink a glass of wine and admire me)
i’m so sick of news articles that look like this
it builds itself up like OKAY WE FOUND THESE DEVASTATING RESULTS
and then you go in to look and you find it had a sample size of 40
and then you’re like okay, what was the fantastic difference between these 40 people when sleeping with and without a dog
and the article is like
…so you get through it and you’re like you’re trying to tell me you think this is substantial in any capacity, this 40 sample size 3% difference ass bullshit??????????? you fucking shitforbrick bad at math fake ass science losers?
these scientists hate dogs
Your sample sizes are small your standard deviations are high your conclusion means nothing and YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
One day, you will find someone who loves you exactly as you are, just like I do. I love you too, Mom.
DEVI & NALINI VISHWAKUMAR + relationship development NEVER HAVE I EVER (2020– )

2013 and we can’t even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. We’re basically living in a dystopia.
2022 and we cant even electronically synthesize big macs out of nothing. were basically living in a dystopia.
