i'm sorry for being so inactive these days ;;;;

early this year i had an accident and i have currently a busted hand & arm and knee.... aaaand a broken rib in combination with a cough. 😭 i see that i missed some DMs or mutuals, i love seeing on my dashboard, creating a new blog. i have super low social energy due to constant pain and lack of sleep. T _T sorry if it seemed like i was ignoring anyone. 🙇‍♀️

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:

Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.

The actual difference is

when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names

when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names

hope this helps!

Drowning by Numbers, 1988

A film by Peter Greenaway

Revisited this doozy recently—it holds up. Still amazing.

There's this person in my friend group who none of us ever liked but had to suffer through because they're the partner of a friend, and a couple of months ago this person managed to 1) cheat on my friend, 2) get them to open the relationship, 3) instantly fall in love with somebody else, 4) promise another friend of mine they'd totally do X only to ditch them at the last minute, 5) once that other friend politely reprimanded them, this person lashed out with a "sorry but i was gonna kill myself so fuck you."

Needless to say, I hold the person in utter contempt.

What shocks me, however, is that I told all of this to another friend and they just went "I'm sure their relationship is fine. Also they had a totally good reason to ditch that other friend, and i can understand why you're not impressed but I think it's best to be direct even if unhealthy." Like, i'm sorry, unhealthy?!?!

I am genuinely shocked. Imagine being this ride or die for a piece of shit. This is embarrassing. I kinda hope they cut me off 'cause what the fuck.

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up

right now it’s almost halfway through 2023, and 2024 is an election year in the US. I have started to see a growing proliferation of posts suggesting that there is no difference between the republican and democratic parties--the exact same kind of posts I saw an awful lot of before the last major election here. I am unfollowing folks who post or reblog these sort of posts, as I consider these posts to be fascist propaganda framed as leftist discourse, designed to suppress anti-fascist votes and voters.

I feel so fucking lucky to have been shaped into the person I am today by One Direction. 2024 me does not exist as I am today, without them. How lucky am I to have be changed by them. I’m here today on this tumblr, with all of you- friends, mutuals, strangers- because of them. One Direction will always be woven into the fabric of my memories, experiences and dreams. That is a truth that cannot change. I am so so lucky to have loved them and be loved by so many of you because of them. Wow.

forgot mash is the most popular US show of all time moment #500: my cusp gen-x/mil hookup glanced at my phone the morning after and as i'm sputtering and stumbling over my words to explain, he says, in the coldest voice possible "I Know Who Hawkeye And Trapper Are."

NAMI, THE NAVIGATOR - The woman raises her head, shifting under a thick quilt.

NAMI, THE NAVIGATOR - Do you need something, sir?

EMPATHY - She spent the previous night awake, entirely focused on her work. That concentration has been disrupted by you.

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)
