It’s not all the Stuff, but it’s some Stuff nonetheless!
And I’m happy about getting at least some Stuff done! And you should be proud of getting your Stuff done, no matter how small the amount of stuff that is!
-bought eggs? that’s Stuff!
-ate breakfast? that’s Stuff!
-wrote in your jurnal? that’s Stuff!
- remembered to take your pills? Or drink water? Or eat food? Guess what? That’s Stuff too!
I’m proud of you!
artist in denial of being depressed: omg this 2 month long art block has been crazy... sorry i haven't updated any of my fics in a long while! it's just been super difficult to daydream! so weird that i've lost a little bit of passion for my current comfort character and ocs... this couldn't possibly have any implications or alternative explanations
people saying some variation to "oh no" in the notes of this post are very funny but at the same time. i wish you a very Feel Better
hilarious how grace is wandering around that aircraft carrier thinking i'm just a guy. meanwhile his security clearance is technically on the same level as the actual eva stratt herself
#phm#in the book he's like#'my office is technically a storage closet. they're gonna kick me out of here when we resupply. i'm about as important as toilet paper.'#man you live on a boat. how many other people on the boat have an office at all.#you're the guy who looks at the paperwork and signs shit that's not worth bothering stratt over#which you can choose to interpret as either not very important or VERY IMPORTANT INDEED.#you're the guy who says 'yeah i think this plan is scientifically feasible'#to which stratt says 'okay my pet scientist says it'll work‚ let's go ahead and pave the sahara.'
Some guy: "i have a crazy plan"
Stratt: "hmm what do you think dr grace?"
Grace: wow what a crazy plan that would take an absurd amount of power to accomplish and have far-reaching impacts "yeah it's feasible, i'd go with it"
Stratt: "alright, you heard him, do it"
Grace: waow she has so much power to just decide that. that's wild. glad i don't decisions. i wonder why she keeps bringing me to these
"Quick" "easy" "lazy" recipes love to pretend that prep and cleanup occur within a pocket dimension outside time and space.
wish online communities discussing autism in women weren't like, doing their best to contribute to the false perception there's a distinct Autism For Boys and Autism For Girls, when the whole time it's just social enforcement of gender roles influencing behavior
Okay so this may come off as condescending but I'm gonna take that risk cause I saw something at work today that made me think this is possibly not common knowledge
When encountering a potential threat and planning your next steps, it's important to keep in mind the difference between something that is helpful NOW and something that is helpful LATER
For example purposes, let's say you see someone being handcuffed by police. You're concerned for that person's welfare, so you pull out your phone and start filming.
Pros NOW:
Pros LATER:
Now look at cons.
Cons NOW:
Cons LATER:
I'm pointing this out because I've seen a few arrests, and while I ABSOLUTELY think we should continue filming, I've also seen some people filming ALSO HECKLE THE COPS.
And this here is where "helful NOW" VS "Helpful LATER" is important: You NEVER want "cons now" to outweigh "cons later".
Later is LATER. Survival is NOW. The more time between you and consequences, the better.
Heckling a cop? Risky. Filming them? Risky. Heckling them WHILE filming them? You're saying "LOOK AT ME, I'M OBNOXIOUS, I BET YOU WON'T FUCK UP ON CAMERA" and rolling the dice.
Because if someone decides to kick your ass, and they're on camera, the camera is only helpful LATER. it's not a shield. It's not helpful NOW, it's helpful LATER. You're still getting your ass kicked.
Our current criminal justice system is fucked. Good news is, there's a lot of shit we can do to look out for one another.
Bad news is, most of it is going to involve being very, very careful about when and how you draw attention to yourself, and none of it is going to feel as good as calling someone a bastard to their face.
If you saw me recreationally vaccinating homeschooled children with blow darts then you should be thanking me, no? Relax a little. Blow darts are cool
You are just jealous of my ethical human safari
My favorite character archetype is the character who your like:
"Oh he's just a normal guy fr. Yeah what a strange situation he's in I'd be a little off too lol. So normal, So.... Okay that's a little weird but the situation called for it I guess. Huh okay now that I'm looking at him he's not very normal at all. Definition of abnormal I think."
I'm still amused when I think of last summer when a coworker said, "Oh, bullshit, you are not," when I mentioned that I was 43.
Wait, it got better.
He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:
For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.
It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton
LIKE MY POSE?
that cat reminded me of him cat in question >
was at the public pool yesterday and i kept looking around at all the women with fat and rolls and stretch marks and discolouration and cellulite and scars and thighs that bounce and bellies that jiggle and it's like wow. literally Everyone has these features that society is trying to convince us are evil and unnatural. idk it just really put things into perspective for me. highly recommend checking out your local public pool
starting a collection
