Frankly some of you should be hornier over weirder shit. The fear of being too genuine is the enemy of art. Be a bit of a pervert. It's good for the health. Doesn't have to be a sexual thing just own up to being a bit obsessed in some cringe shit it's fine.
lemon is so so so fucking good in sweet food and savory food and spicy food and salty food and drinks. she has it all

i’m okay with fictional men becoming unhinged over the loves of their lives actually
Zuckerberg is in such better shape than Musk, and is trained in combat sports. This will be humiliating if Elon shows up
I think the rich should engage in bloodsport for the entertainment of the masses more often. Let's get Kissinger and Cheney into a ladder match.
“What News Story Are They Burying?”
Reminder that if a billionaire CEO does something outrageous in the news, this should always be your first question.
Today that news story is that Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, is blocking all news content in Canada for Facebook and Instagram due to a new law requiring compensation to news publishers. Facebook is using its vast resources to apply public pressure to stop the laws of a foreign government and protect its profit margins. And they are getting sued by Malaysia.
truly astonishing how much easier and more comfortable life gets when you accept that not everything is about you
sometimes things make me uncomfortable or don't make sense to me but not because they're immoral or intended to cause me harm, just because i'm not a consideration that was factored into the decisions that led to them. sometimes i make people feel confused and discomforted just by doing my thing. and sometimes that's okay. i can think critically and determine when something is exclusionary and harmful and when it's just a case of personal differences and preferences.
One of my favorite hobbies is thinking about the fucked up implications of this fantasy world map my parents got me for christmas
[Image ID: photo of a map. On the left side of the map is Middle Earth, with the Shire and Mordor labeled. To the direct right of Mordor is Whoville.]
I FOUND THE FULL ONE AND ITS SO MUCH MORE CHAOTIC.
HYRULE SHOOK ME TO MY CORE!
THIS WORD HAS TWO KINGDOMS RULES BY A BEING IN A TOWER!
The existence of Oz and Neverland is wild too. Does this mean that there is a REAL Earth outside of this? Could Wendy hang out in Westeros?
personally if i’m out walking and smell laundry or someone else’s cooking or campfire i immediately get hit with a wave of nearly overwhelming comfort. on account of the joie de vivre
it's amazing how ordinary objects can become so significant to only the owner
when my aunt's best friend passed away, my younger brother was four years old. at his funeral, my brother went up to her and gave her a nickel. he told her very solemnly that it would make her feel better. she smiled for the first time in days, and tucked it in her wallet.
when my brother was 22, his best friend passed away unexpectedly. my aunt drove three hours to be there for him at the funeral. she went up to my brother, gave him a big hug, and then gave him a nickel. it was the same nickel; she had kept it in her wallet for 18 years, and now it's on a necklace that he never takes off.
what i'm trying to say is that the love you put into the world will always find its way back to you.
Agdgsgsgsg I’m LIVING for this Reef2Reef thread. This guy was worried about his urchins getting sunburnt so he made them little hats
IT GETS BETTER
In the wild these urchins will in fact carry a small rock or shell exactly on top like this and im so happy there's people taking advantage of that and who care about their urchins as pets.
i visited an aquarium at some point, and our tour guide told that when the staff had a party, they put a little decorative plastic hat from a booze bottle into the sea urching tank, and just left it there because the sea urchins liked it, and kept taking turns in wearing it.
Yeah no kidding
saying “hm. must be the curse” every time something bad happens and refusing to elaborate is my new hobby
Do not cite the deep magics to me, witch. I was there when it was written.
