if you go "drugs give me the power to do anything" and then don't clean up your house then I don't think you should have any drugs or power

I'm surprised I haven't seen this on Tumblr yet.

Ten years of having to do it to 'em.

the pregnant lady was already swimming when i got there

it was nice to see a familiar face

at one point i was resting at the deep end and looked over at her lane at the side of the pool

and one of the pool ladies was doing her hair

just braiding her wet hair

so i did a double take because of course it's not something you see usually. and she saw me and started laughing

and i chuckled and then kept smiling for like 10 minutes because this is the kind of human connection that i live for

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

It's fascinating to see how the quality of my life got 365% better once I stopped wanting or trying to get laid or even date. I can't even begin to list the benefits of focusing on making improvement in my life and focusing on my hobbies and cats and friends.

Don’t look at things you know will make you angry. Don’t read the comment sections. Don’t look at the blogs of people who add dumb comments to posts to confirm that they’re dumb all the time. Don’t read old conversations you had with people you don’t talk to anymore. Go look at pictures of kittens or something instead. Protect yourself from negativity in every way you can.

Did the quality of journalism fall, or did my media literacy get better? Is this article poorly written, or did I just get older while media keep hiring the same starry-eyed 22 year olds who are excited to tell the world their viewpoint for the first time?

went to iFit sport supplement store on Tartu mnt. 52. owner started chatting me up about where I'm from, why did i move to Estonia etc. normal smalltalk until he said that the government is corrupt and then implied that communism was better (government during his childhood which was well over 30 years ago). imagine my complete lack of surprise when he followed it up with covid being a conspiracy

Microsoft should make windows 13, which will be just windows 12

and then they should make windows 12, which will be just windows 10 debloated, that won't spy on you or search the web every time you open the start menu, and will be supported and updated for another 12 years. after that I don't give a shit, I can't imagine using computers for another 10 years honestly

general US population when violence is celebrated as a justified way to end oppression in pop culture and media: I sleep

when wars and war crimes committed by the US Army are justified as a means to end other people's violence: I sleep

when they air strike a wedding: I sleep

when gun violence mows down literal hundreds of children in mass shootings every year: thoughts and prayers

when police violence kills uncounted civilians: hmmm it was probably self-defense

when they supply thousands of tons of explosives used to kill civilians and level whole cities: hmmmm also self defense

when one guy kills one rich guy: THIS IS DESPICABLE AND TRAGIC

just adopted a new phrase from a coworker; when asked how is she doing, she said she's okay, "just trying to adult without voiding the warranty"
