#mine is still at my mom's house

[clouds-of-wings]

The secret to living to an incredibly old age could be far more straightforward than previously thought, as you’ll find out in this interview with a scholar at University College London’s Centre For Longitudinal Studies.

Instead of eating olive oil, walking 10,000 steps a day or never having children, Saul Justin Newman’s best advice for living past 100 is to simply not get a birth certificate when you are born. For those of us who didn’t have the foresight at the time to not ask for a birth certificate, misplacing the document is of course an option, too.

He has tracked down 80% of the people aged over 110 on Earth and has found that the most common trait they share is not a lifestyle choice so much as the fact that their date of birth has not been properly recorded – and that their real age is unlikely to be what they say or think it is. And these are the lucky ones. In fact, many of the oldest people in the world are already dead.

my sense of urgency for this election was all used up watching a genocide play out live on instagram while my mom continued to talk about which politician might make the housing market better and i tried not to genuinely lose my mind over the dissonance. in all honesty short of bombs dropping on americans' houses my adrenal glands are beyond checked out. i'll show up to the polls and do my part and try to plug into the bare bones direct action i can find in the middle of nowhere deep red county state but god. there are so many posts circulating trying to fear monger me into voting for one genocidal president of this genocidal nation over another and i may as well live on a different planet. i can fathom the urgency but i could not make myself feel it short of being held at gunpoint. which may even be on the ballot but that's how americans have been voting for decades now and each of them regardless of party has worried about the idea of being held at gunpoint while a right of theirs is taken away while there are people who are already being held at gunpoint and their rights have already been taken away by the very people being beamed into my eyeballs as the escape from this hypothetical violence that's already non-hypothetically happened to millions who aren't US liberals because of the america they're trying to save from trump the same america regardless of democrats or republicans or whigs or federalists and does anyone else feel like they're going crazy

Of course my waitress tonight was my estranged older sister who hates me and I haven’t spoken to or seen in years why wouldn’t it be? Fml

[acesammy]

welp, she was absolutely wonderful and I love her so so much, but I guess it’s not the right time to get a puppy :c

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

been thinking about inheritance and legacy and how I'm never gonna really know half of my family

[penisbilt]

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now

[idontliketomatoesleavemealone]

I think my mom doesn’t understand that people grow apart sometimes and that’s okay

[anaalnathrakhs]

btw my mom said it. she said it to me looking me in the eyes. i told her about how difficult it was for me to get through those family reunions, and she admitted it was very important to her, important enough that she was just going to do it anyway.

fun fact I was born with hair so extremely straight I couldn't keep a hair tie, pin, or heat curl in my head for the life of me

I barely cut my hair (to this day) but once randomly we decided to chop of more than a foot of length and my hair was never straight again. for some fucking reason

[flippedorbit]

i wish i had my license and a car so i could leave. i hate being here all the fucking time.

[alilaro]

omg my momma got me my very own car yippee!!

[ayyponine]

you can't take a picture of this - it's already gone.

one year since i moved out of my mom's house to live on my own. all this clutter and stuff came to the apartment w me but still, i am unable to really call it home. before i even lived there we lived in a different house which i was then longing to return to post-divorce so i know change is inevitable and it's all just part of how life goes but still it's like. will home ever stop feeling like a place and time you only keep growing more distant from every day. idk

I may be getting new bookshelves (they were my dead grandfather's)

[confinesofmy]

me and my cousin i'm barely on speaking terms with (but in a relatively casual way) repotted her deceased grandmother's pothos today. this was our first time actually properly repotting it bc last summer it was in such a fragile state and we were so scared to hurt it that we just lifted it out of its pot and placed it in a bigger one but this go round we basically dismantled it entirely. we got eight discrete plants and placed it into four different pots!! in nine months it went from the edge of death to that many plants and like ninety leaves altogether. so if you're bad with plants but still wanna fool with them, i guess you should get a pothos.
