“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter

Geological horror. You find a geode and crack it open and the crystal lining its walls is human blood that can't be genetically matched to anyone. You find a human skeleton but every one of the bones is made from rock, a rock that you know can't be whittled into those shapes. You find layers of clay and loam that sport ancient fossils at the top and the still-rotting corpses of modern animals at the bottom.

this image is beautiful to me it is holy, this should be in a gallery

"people show their true colours in life threatening situations" no, they show you what they act like when they're mortally terrified, an emotion notorious for literally turning your entire brain off to the point where people who go into those situations as a profession need to be literally trained on how to not have that happen

not now sweetie mommy’s blogging about something that 5 people care about

Remember when you had energy to do things? Those were some wild times

shoutout to neopets economics

if i were rich id commission people who struggle or dont get many of them just to see them happy argh

what farming items in mmorpgs has taught me: i used to think using ice trays to make ice cubes was free but after thinking about it i have to pay the electric bill to power the freezer so every moment that i’m not freezing new trays of ice cubes is a moment that i’m underutilizing the freezer and increasing the cost of ice cubes. i have to constantly swap out ice trays for new ice cubes on an hourly rotation on a 24 hour basis or else i won’t produce the maximum amount of ice cubes possible and will underutilize the full potential of my electric bill. i need to stop using all other appliances and utilities in my home to make more ice cubes

having a big influx of followers in the middle of a big influx of bot accounts is so stressful i'm like pointing a gun at everybody in my notes like "SAY SOMETHING ONLY THE REAL NEW FOLLOWER WOULD SAY!!!!!!"

You guys ever see a DNI that makes you break out into laughter and almost cry

you know when you see those gross cooking videos where a lady is dumping baked beans onto a countertop and mixing in cheese with her bare hands or something, and it's obviously meant to spark engagement and outrage. and people will always say "don't interact with these video; this is just fetish content"

i think a good way to have piece of mind online is to apply that same mindset to more things.

you saw a really bad take online? that person just has a degradation kink and they're waiting for someone to call them out. if you don't want to participate in their kink, leave them alone.

some people can only get off by being wrong. it doesn't have to affect your day.

"You're not the main character" also applies to thinking that you're so uniquely horrible that everyone you meet is deeply invested in judging and hating you. That's just as much of a cognitive distortion as believing that you're the center of everyone's admiration. I promise you that other people got their own lives to live and their own struggles and flaws to cope with.

i hate concert ticket prices why can’t i just get a free ticket for liking a band so much

I like to wear bandaids on my boo boos cause that shows the ladies that yeah I am rugged but I also am cautious about infection
