~ Modern Manners and Social Forms, Mrs. Julia M. Bradley, 1889

Don’t smack people around at balls

When a gentleman’s ignoring incremental, subtle hints
That he has earned your ire at a dance,
You may feel the inclination to reveal the matter, since
It’s better not to leave these things to chance.

Do not slap him with your handkerchief, nor tap him with your fan;
He’ll stand there, as oblivious as before.
Why so silent in your censure? Be more violent if you can:
A good swift kick is harder to ignore.

She gave him a chance. He didn’t take it.

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you’re supposed to help your friends move even if it’s hard work. or stay up with them when they’re sad even if you’re gonna lose sleep. you’re supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that’s how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they’re sick. you’re supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there’s actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

legitimately hate the culture of treating other people like you’re communicating via an hr memo full of therapy speak, can’t we just be real without having to couch everything in cotton candy?

mastering ancient breathing techniques in the mountains of china to control my heart rate finely enough to jam out a sick tune on the hospital’s heart monitor

The doctors figure out after the sixth beep that I’m trying to play Wonderwall and they unplug my life support

No, santa is some capitalistic approximation of a saint who steals the spotlight from Jesus. Ergo, he is a demon. Saint Nicholas comes on 6th of December and has nothing to do with that cocacola backed fraud of a devil

I hate to defend western Europe but the current “they have no tech innovation bc their stupid regulations don’t let employers ruin their workers’ lives for no reason” shit from Americans is insane considering “tech innovation” to them means an unemployment machine that is making their already retarded population even dumber
