On Friendship.

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

Remember that if you want to do more of something, you have to do less of something else. It's that time of year where people set goals for the new year and they have plans and hopes and it's always focusing on what they want to do more of. More studying, more exercise, more crafting, more socialising, more making things from scratch. Okay, great. What are you going to do less of in order to have the time and energy to do more of those things you really want to do?

It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

I think if you put someone from 2005 onto a website from 2025 without the slow creep we've lived through, they'd think they had malware

saw a tiktok where some american woman was like 'did anyone else grow up with a naked mom' meaning that she would see her mother naked growing up a lot for some reason or another and all the comments were like 'yes and that's why I'm traumatized' or 'that's sick', 'eww' or whatever... the naked body of your mother traumatized you? the way sauna culture could heal so many societies of their ills.... I am so grateful to have always been able to see realistic human bodies naked & grow up in a culture where nudity is not inherently sexualized....

Imagine it:

Dick offers to teach Donna how to change her oil, and she agrees to a lesson. She tells Roy about it when she sees him, and Roy ends up tagging along to the lesson because he wants to show off and flirt with Donna. He of course keeps interrupting Dick's explanations, which pisses Dick off. While Dick's trying to teach and Roy's trying to flirt, Donna keeps taking photos of the two of them because she wants them to pose with the car.

This is how Donna ends up with a series of photos of Dick angrily swiping his greasy hands all over Roy's red t-shirt, Roy retaliating by wrestling Dick in a dirt patch, and both of them examining a caterpillar that they almost rolled over amidst their tussle.

While Donna examines the new photos in her collection, she very pointedly ignores Dick and Roy when they try to draw her into their bet on whether the caterpillar is poisonous or not.

(Dick wins the bet, and Roy seethes about Dick's "perfect caterpillar knowledge" for weeks.)

I usually fucking loathe anyone who references 1984 on social media but I do feel like actually Microsoft deciding to underline every use of an intensifier as an error is some Newspeak bullshit. no you can't replace "very nervous" with "nervous" to make a sentence "more concise" actually, because the word "very" has an actual fuckdamn meaning that I am deliberately conveying, you soulless corporate horseshit shovelling cartoon paperclip ass motherfucker
