I'm one of those saucy she/they catboys your mother warned you about. I'm also an Accessibility consultant and will talk way too long about accessibility if you let me. I'm a 90s kid but I don't remember anything.
His misogyny didn’t run quite as rampant back then (or perhaps it was dampened by one of the other show writers being a woman) and his particular humor isn’t as omnipresent. It is mostly a drama, more like Angel than Buffy (in my memory). The last two episodes of the show, the “unreleased” ones, are consistently the only two I tell people to brace for. The movie is also quite dark, so are the comics, but they all end on a hopeful note about society being able to change for the better, so it’s not too cynical for me.
if this pattern continues, by 2032 i will be experiencing 1.4 breakups per day
by about 2060, assuming I haven’t dated anyone twice, i will have broken up with everyone on earth
i’m likely to run out of potential parters long before this though, because anyone whose age is < n=((my age x0.5)+7) is automatically excluded from the dating pool, and that’ll be a large and growing slice of the population
Allowing repeats would mean you could have one incredibly tumultuous relationship in 2033 that you break up with after every meal in the day.
I love asking friends, without context, “what are you really into this week?” I’ll go first. this week I’m really into mouthwash and sudoku. Last week I was into peaches.
we used to be a society on here!! reblog, don’t like! I want to hear what you’re into!!! I’m literally looking into the nyt game Pips!!!
Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.
The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.
EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.
robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.
even robots need downtime.

Plain text: Everything that lives requires rest. Stop judging yourself for not being a robot.
