Sometimes I have what I call "New Towel Blindness," which is basically where I forget I'm an adult with adult money that I can exchange for goods and services I would like, like say new towels instead of continuing to use my grandparents' hand-me-down towels they gave me when they downsized and I was in college.

And it is definitely one of those things exacerbated by growing up poor and then being a super poor twentysomething, but I think it's something many of us fall into.

Anyway today I bought a bra that doesn't cause my boobs physical pain, a purse in my style instead of continuing to use the poorly sized not-my-style purse I'd been gifted, and joined a gym because I remembered I can just give someone money in exchange for them teaching me how to lift weights instead of thinking "gosh strength training would be good to do as my body ages I wish I knew how."

Sheets, towels, PILLOWS (omg REPLACE YOUR PILLOWS), socks, doormats, tea towels, bras, cutlery (sometimes)

At my previous apartment I spent months plugging in my bedside lamp every night and unplugging it the next morning because using the nearest plug made the cord stretch across the middle of the room. Then I remembered extension cords exist and I went and got one for $5 and it was great.

Sometimes you don't even need to spend money to improve things, they just need to be rearranged! At my current place I don't like setting my water glass down on the hard stone bathroom counter top, so I'd been balancing it on a tin of ointment, but then I remembered I have coasters.

A while ago the handle broke off a bottle of cleaning solution, and I spent multiple cleaning sessions painstakingly trying to line up the broken nub with the place it's supposed to press and juust managing to get it to spray. Recently I remembered I can pour the stuff into a new empty spray bottle from the dollar store! Wow!

Realised I can just buy extra pegs instead of struggle to have enough pegs for the laundry. Incredible, now everything I hang out gets a peg and my laundry doesn't get spread over the yard.

randomly remembered this tweet and had to stop myself from bursting out laughing

never forget when saruman literally told gandalf "you've been smoking too much weed bro"

"You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

the number one lesson that toddler parenting is teaching me is the power of adjusting your attitude so you can get silly. if I am in a bad mood or at the end of my rope patience-wise my toddler senses this IMMEDIATELY and actively turns every single interaction into a protracted power struggle. but if i can take a second to gather myself and marshal juuust enough strength to do a goofy little bit or even just make a silly face he is sooo so delighted and can usually be easily persuaded to do whatever he was resisting two seconds earlier. tonight he was testing meeeeeeeeee oh my god WHY must everything be a battle and then I invented a game called BOOM where I swing him around and drop him on the nearest cushioned surface and this game was such a wild hit that we did our entire bedtime routine in five min just by trading bedtime tasks for one (1) boom. and then he was in such a silly happy mood it put me in a better mood and now I don’t feel as exhausted. idk it does take some effort to rally when you’re not feeling inclined to be silly but then it consistently saves soooo much time/energy in the rest of your interactions I think it’s worth it. plus it’s crazy how much goofing off with somebody for a few minutes resets your nervous system.

Hotel Transylvania

im sorry the what

this one

the current meme is based on the following which is based on that one

which i assume is from tumblr based on how one of the panels is lifted from that "its ok i am a lesbo" picture

So the timeline is

- I am lesbo

- I'm stuff

- i am lesbo x I'm stuff fusion

- transfem Jonathan and transmasc mavis

as far as anyone can tell this is the original “I am a lesbo” image, for the record

I'm sobbing oh my god

I heard...now don't shoot the messenger but this is the og I am gay tho

Why the fuck is it woody and bolt

WHY THE FUCK IS IT WOODY AND BOLT

Wait why does Dracula refer Joanne as *his* daughter?

if your child marries someone, that partner becomes your daughter-in-law or son-in-law. 

There is

So much going on here

This is like an archeological dig site but the philosophers are still alive and talking

“this makes me personally uncomfortable”, “this seems in poor taste”, “this is somehow harmful but presumably because you’re misinformed” and “this is actively malicious” are all different things. remember that

I realised today that frog feet are kind of ideal for wearing heels and well then I accidentally

Get the look:

This is a fucking phenomenal addition.

regal bryant from tales of symphonia is still the funniest concept for a jrpg character ever, to me. “i swore i would never take a life with these hands again. but! kicking people to death with my armored boots and wildly jacked lower body is fine.” nobody’s doing it like him. 10/10. he gave himself parameters to avoid violence and then found a loophole in his own pacifism

the word "transandrophobia" does not imply a systemic hatred of men it implies a systemic hatred of trans men. notice that prefix? trans? we're not talking about cis men here, stop changing the subject. we're talking about the systemic oppression of trans men.
