an it, professionally diagnosed with librarian, in its 20s. where do i turn this thing off

idk what everyone is so up in arms about, this cup's been empty since i was seven and i've been pouring from it just fine since

oh i'd love to do that. unfortunately it wouldn't really comply with the brand guidelines for my personality that i made up myself

so i’ve been saying “snervous (snail nervous)” for quite some time now thinking that it was some obscure meme i had seen somewhere at some point. i have scoured the corners of the internet. i have found nothing relating to snervous (snail nervous) so i made my own memes. if anyone knows what i’m talking about PLEASE point me in the direction of the original creator of snervous (snail nervous). also feel free to use my snervous (snail nervous) memes for your own uses

deeply disturbing how many "modern" interpretations of the iliad completely ignore the problematic rage gap between achilles and patroclus

the 16 year old puritan twitter user stuck in my head who yells at me if i don't conform to unattainably high standards of moral purity says it's ageist for me to imagine them as a 16 year old

do you think gurgeh did that creepy sniffing thing because he has some deep and omnipresent fascination with anything even tangentially related to womanhood that he cannot ever allow himself to explore openly and honestly because he instinctively self-segregates from everyone because of The Guilt

the happy place I go to in the summer is a little rocky shore with a stream that runs along it. I've taken to sitting on the damp rocks that sit right on the edge of the water. if I look, I can see all the little things living in the water: fish and bugs and snails like the one above. these snails are itty bitty - smaller than the nail of my pinky finger - and they just kind of putter around while I watch. today, I leaned over the water to watch the snails and wondered if some other being, too big for me to comprehend, ever leans over the world and watches me the way I watch the snails. I am hundreds of thousands of times bigger than these snails. is there something or someone out there hundreds of thousands of times bigger than me, peering into the place I am and wondering what my little self is doing, where I'm going, and what it's like to be a little person the way I wonder what it's like to be a little snail? do I bring them the same quiet wonder and contentment that these tiny snails bring to me? do they come to this corner of reality just to sit and watch us move about? idk. there's something comforting about the idea that there's something out there as big to me as I am to those snails. that we're all just kind of puttering and finding joy in those things that are so much smaller than us.
