i dont claim to be an expert on love but i think theres something to like… ok so my girlfriend got undertale on the switch a while back, right? and she’s definitely not a bad videogamer but it takes practice yknow, esp when youre doing a neutral route and actually fight stuff. so when she got to the hardest bosses i took the controller and beat them for her. not because she couldn’t, but because i love her. and that’s what my brother did when i was a kid playing sonic adventure 2 or whatever, not because i was dumb but because he was good at it and he loved me. and when i want my girlfriend to read something (a post, an essay, a novel) but she’s too tired to actually read so it i read it to her and i do silly voices and she laughs and we have more fun that way. when you hand a water bottle to your friend and they open it without you even having to ask. when you spent a million years fixing the flat tire on your bike and then your dad just takes the tools and does it for you. its not a judgement, it’s just a service. you could do it yourself, but why should you have to when you are loved?

i think we should all admit how lonely we are. then we should talk. it will all be okay if we risk being authentic

The boroughs of New York City ranked by how feminist their names are
1. Queens. Needs no explanation
2. Brooklyn (a girl’s name, according to my experience with the Sims 4 name randomizer)
3. The Bronx. Bron sounds like brawn but of course physical strength does not have to be associated with either men or women. So um. Its going in the middle
4. Staten Island
5. Manhattan. Literally has man in the name

okay. idgaf about the wednesday tv show but the continuation of people saying that luis guzmán was a good fit bc the original gomez was "ugly" (ironically often in defense of people saying guzmán is "too ugly to play gomez") is making me physically violent at this point. he's short and fat and brown, like sorry he's not raúl juliá? or that he's not thin and white like john astin? people are wayyy too damn comfortable throwing around the word "ugly" like! what is wrong with you! what is wrong with you!! who do you think you are!!!

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

I get how the whole "listening to music as a dick-measuring contest for who can listen to the most obscure band" thing can get grating sometimes but I don't think people realize just how vital that phenomenon is for new up and coming bands to get a foot in the door. it's understandable to be annoyed by hipsterism but unless you want all music to be industry plants and former child stars you're just going to have to accept it as part of the social ecosystem.

I lose fifteen years off my life whenever people act like it’s better representation to have a lesbian character that isn’t masculine or butch because of stereotypes. name five butch characters on tv! quickly
