#but we have to

[bluedandylyon]

It is:

Avoiding the news,

Connecting the dots,

Asking your loved ones,

If they already knew.

Laughing

And

Crying

And

Yelling

And

Dissociating.

Being jealous

Of shapeshifters,

Of digital avatars,

Of your friends.

Explaining

And

Explaining

And

Explaining

And

Being misunderstood.

Weighing the consequences

Of correcting

A stranger,

A family member,

A friend.

Creating

And

Erasing

And

Building

And

Destroying.

Recognizing your face,

Naming your chest hairs,

Clothes fitting properly,

Chopping your limp, long hair off.

Choosing

And

Fighting

And

Evolving

And

Changing.

Pausing in the entrance to the bathrooms,

Hugging yourself,

Putting a band-aid on your stomach,

Counting the hours till you have to unbind.

Loving

And

Loving

And

Loving

Where you’ve been

And

Where you might go.

I'm honestly afraid that people aren't liking clone high rebbot for being "mid", because that would mean low viewership and then it would end up being cancelled. AND I WANT GANDHI BACK GODDAMN IT PLEASE GUYS DONT BE MEAN I WANT HIM BACKK

I watching 2 episodes everyday and plan on rewatching my favorites to give it watch time just for the sake of Tophdhi/ Gandhi content in general

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

at least sisyphus only had one never-ending task. i have like 50 and all of them cost money

Tumblr users are already frothing at the mouth to kill that old man for the 2000th time

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

Since you guys liked Marcille as Kermit that much, it seems fitting to thank you for my 12k milestone with MORE Kercille. And this time, Miss Falin is also here.

Thank you so much again everybody! MWAH 💗

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now

It's in the eye of the beholder

[technovillain]

the state of the job search these days is something fucking else man

went to the pub for a drink on my first real day off in over a week and watched the girl behind the bar drop the entire cash drawer on the floor in the middle of the rush and then just stare at it at her feet for like a solid two minutes

i love being married to a straight guy. this morning we were parallel chilling and i glance at his computer and he's watching a drill fight tournament. as in, guys attaching drills to the same rod and turning them on until one breaks. to find the strongest drill. jose noticed me staring and rolled out of the way so i could see the screen. he knew every drill brand and told me their quality and price. i watched the whole thing without comment. the violence was enchanting. i never would have found this. he's a vector to an entirely alien, often beautiful, world.
