one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

cemeteries aren’t creepy they’re actually devoted to memory and rest and love and humanity

absolutely delighted to learn that a band I loved but haven’t thought about in 5+ years still rips (it’s elbow)

A brief moment of rationality from the bird place.

Listen it’s my own damn fault for not reading the tags but when you got a fic about a character recovering from her lowest canonical point why you gotta add rape in there!!! You really do not gotta do it! Things already suck for the mc!! They are already Suffering!!!

not now kitten, daddy's about to have a mental breakdown from seeing the prices at the grocery store

count everything, including dorms, moving between houses on a single campus/compound, etc.

if you were/are homeless/couch surfing, count each location where you stayed at least a week.

twelve years ago my Aunt Linda died and her death impacted me so violently I became a better person, and it’s wild that sometimes grief can work like that.

RIP Aunt Linda, you would’ve hated Prince Charles’s coronation.

been seeing homies get deep into "the terror" and making me want to rewatch SO i spent two hours in the dead of night reading the wiki/the subreddit/other linked articles and like. one of those articles was deadass fucked up

there was a woman who spoke inuktitut who was writing a book containing a lot of inuit oral histories, and in nunavut she was able to hear passed-down recollections of when survivors from the franklin expedition were passing through

and like. i can't imagine being an inuit family/group, knowing that europeans exist but having never seen them, seeing 8-9 shambling, blue-skinned, cold-to-the-touch out-of-their-minds white men come wandering by. they invited the men inside their igloos for warmth, for food, to be hospitable. the men refused to eat, refused to speak, and when trade was offered, clutched their possessions close and refused to entertain the idea of trade. this was, offputting, to say the least. the group set them up in their own igloo, with their own fire, and left three whole seals for them to eat. and then they fled cause what the FUCK get out of there. they came back in a few days to check on the strangers. the three seals were completely untouched, while all of the men had killed and eaten each other

i mean. fuck dude. there are obviously pretty dark angles to view the franklin expedition from– honestly can't think of a good angle, it's pure colonialism and british exceptionalism– but that specific interaction, that inuit group who were living lives as normal until a dozen fucking walking dead showed up and did cannibalism. no wonder that story got passed down, i'd be shitting my pants if i saw that

my number one woman behavior is saying i’m fine with any pronouns and silently ranking people in my regard based on what they do with that information
