I saw screenshots the other day of people on tiktok saying wlw doesn't include bisexuals and like... fucking hell, I was on tumblr when women here invented the fucking term, specifically so that we could all more easily discuss issues common to both lesbians and bisexual women without it being a goddamn mouthful. in a way that emphasized solidarity. beam me up scotty there's no intelligent life on this planet
there's this video going around from youtuber Adam Something about how "the left pushed men into the arms of Andrew Tate by not having good dating advice for men" and it kicks off with a personal story where he says "when i was a young man and I'd ask 'how do I score a hot gf? 😏' the left responded 'uhm, the word score is actually very problematic!' and I said 'jeez sorry I asked' and then I went to the right, and (etc.)" and it's like...
look man. if you're going around saying "how do I score a hot gf", out loud, with your mouth, where people can hear you, then honestly "hey maybe reconsider how you talk and think about women" is actually really good dating advice that will help you cause saying that shit is gonna repulse women. maybe it's not what you wanted to hear but it's what you needed to hear.
it's okay to draw for glory. don't let anyone convince you that art has to be a hobby. you don't have to rest or take breaks. if you feel yourself hitting a wall feel free to lose sleep over the process. you can forgo friendship if you need to. it's completely fine to want to want your art to win you immortality through your influence and canonization as a master. you don't have to take it easy
i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"
WHAT
tv from the mid 2000s was so good. if you can look past the everything
Offer to let other people go ahead of you in line, especially if you're approaching the line at the same time. This is double applicable if you're in a store and the other person has fewer items than you.
This is a small gesture of kindness that in most cases will cost you very little time or effort. It shows consideration for other people's time. Especially in the case of being in a store and letting someone with fewer items than you go first, there is no sense in making someone else wait for you who would otherwise be able to get in and out much quicker.
Let people with a few items go first in line.
Slow down a little and let the person in the lane next to you merge.
Hold the door for someone if you go through first.
Offer napkins to the person at the next table who just spilled their drink.
Help someone pick up things they just dropped.
Say "Thankyou so much!" to workers who help you even though it's literally their job.
Wish everyone a nice day, because we all need a nice day.
During the first of the pandemic lockdowns in my country, I was in the supermarket, which was full of people anxiously buying supplies. In a checkout line near me, a person with a large, full trolley was in front of a person with a small, half-filled trolley. I thought to myself that I wished the full-trolley person would let the small-trolley person swap places with them, as that would be the gracious and efficient thing to do, especially in this busy and stressful time ... and to my delight, they did. I watched as, with friendly politeness, the shopper with the packed trolley looked over their shoulder, saw how much less the person behind them was buying, and invited that person to take their place and go ahead of them in the line. The small-trolley person happily accepted.
I say this to illustrate that watching someone demonstrate grace and courtesy, in the midst of a nerve-wracking situation, impacted even me, an onlooker. Five years later, I remember that moment between two strangers, and the hope it gave me that my countryfolk would get through the pandemic with our dignity and kindness intact. Your kindness and courtesy may make a bigger difference that you realise.
Last month, I was walking into a supermarket at the same time as a car was getting into the parking lot. By law, I had preference, but I was in no rush so i let the car go in first.
Inside, the driver recognized me in line and let me in front if her, thanking me for outside because she gets nervous having to stop traffic to get her car inside places since the other drivers havr no patience and start honking her. It was the fastest "what comes around goes around" I've ever experienced.
My friend sent me this and I'm.howling
‘full movie watch free online’ was in the early 21st century a kind of prayer
realizing that distance doesn’t change how you feel
the rapture actually DID happen today but the only soul god deemed worthy of salvation was a single baby, recently converted to the christian faith, taken away in a beam of light just milliseconds before colliding with a baseball bat. the rest of us are on our own.
Update!
Final update!
This is the most insane thing I have read on here for me this year. I am so sorry you had to go through that and I hope you are healing well both physically and mentally after that horrible experience.
this is killing me
