biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning

They're wanting to change the definition of water to see which water would qualify under the Clean Water Act...I wish I was making this up.
What this means, in layman's terms, is that not all water or wetlands would be under environmental protections, so some could legally be dumped in, scraped out of, or otherwise harmed.
The comment period for this is pretty short (just a few days left!) so please submit comments asking for ALL water to be protected.

Learning to knit turned out to be an early step in remembering my own small powers.
No good sweater options? I'll knit my own. Pants don't fit quite right? I'll alter them. Hole worn in my favorite pajamas? I'll patch it. Shoes don't match my clothes? I'll dye them. Cabinet not exactly what I hoped for? Paint.
As much as these are small things, I think it's genuinely transformative to take ownership of your space and your things in this way.
Maybe next I can work to transform my relationships, my gatherings, my communities.

Grocery shopping, even online is a nightmare. It's like when somebody asks what do you want for Christmas" and you forget everything you've ever desired, except I have to do it every 2 weeks or so. "Hey what food do you want us to bring you" I don't fuckign. know. I've never eaten in my life.

Unpopular opinion
I don’t want a self driving wheelchair that can go up stairs. I want ramps elevators, and curb cuts.
I don’t want a solution in 20 years, I want it now. I wanna be able to go to the mall with my friends and not have to worry about stairs. I want to go the movies and actually chose where I sit. I want to go to a park without having to parkour my way through cracked pavement and curb drops.
I want accessibility and I want it today.
