list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

  • cleaning or wipe your bare feet
  • breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone
  • putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head
  • eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground
  • seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view
  • cupping your hands into running water to wash your face
  • the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present
  • when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

May I add?

  • Touching someone’s face with the back of your hand to see if they have a fever
  • Stopping to watch animals moving in groups (geese, fish, horses, butterflies, bees)
  • Helping an elderly person to walk or sit

  • telling stories around a fire
  • huddling together for warmth when it’s cold
  • marveling at sunlight through leaves
  • wonderment at the brightness of a full moon
  • bringing food to sick or grieving families

also it's super suss that the "drop your interests! you're too old!" posts are always about women. why don't you go to a football game and tell random dudes they're too old to be interested in childish games

you guys are insane. I played roller coaster tycoon when I was a kid and accidentally dropped a guest in the water and I couldn’t save him and he drowned. I was so distraught that I went to my grandma and begged her to help me pray to Jesus that night to forgive me for the sin of murdering that poor man. And you were out there doing it intentionally.
