I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

theradioghost

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I’ve ever seen, only appears when it’s raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

even if you care deeply about some specific kind of suffering you do not have to fill your life with as many upsetting stories of that type of suffering as possible. that is just signing up to have a bad time.

mamoru

does you absorbing this information help you benefit a cause? and even if you are benefitting a cause, are you doing something productive with more of these stories or are they just making you feel bad? are you taking more effective action or just getting overwhelmed with sadness? is surrounding yourself with stuff that upsets you helping you more than it hurts you?

"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.*

EDIT: *this is to say, in the past many households had multiple hands performing the domestic labor and even with modern appliances expecting one person to do it all is ludicrous and men pulling their weight in the space they inhabit and make use of is a much more equitable norm (they live there!) and more than that, equal division of leisure time is a right

this is NOT to say grandma should return to doing all of it, I do not advocate for continued gendered division of labor or grandma-based division of labor

So turns out…..you guys are not gonna believe this…….but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.

Let me be completely clear - I’m not being a sarcastic ass. I’m just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like they’re getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.

everyone's saying it but yeah the new tumblr desktop layout is complete garbage lmao

yknow what i really can't fucking stand. how every social media now feels like it's designed for mobile first but then subsequently there is NO design for desktop and they just kinda slap a mobile interface onto a widescreen canvas and fill it with a solid color. like why is what feels like 60% of my dashboard just negative space on a 16:9 monitor. the entire thing is so fucking claustrophobic and just bunched together. use the space!!!! why are the timeline switcher tabs at the top of the screen getting cut off!!! you could fit all of them!!!

zooming in to like 110% makes it a LITTLE better but it's still way too much empty space on the sides that could be used so much more meaningfully, and then going any further than that just starts to literally cut off the content i actually want to see, like at a certain point in order to cut down on negative space i can only fit half of a post on screen if it's long enough. on a 4K monitor. i don't understand why so much modern website design conflates "compact" with "efficient". they are not mutually exclusive but they're also not synonyms!!! 16:9 will not hurt you!!!! some of my favorite stuff is in 16:9! like psychonauts 2! everyone wants to be psychonauts 2! what are you afraid of!!!
