sometimes in klife thers a cat oin you and you just have to deal wiht it

It pisses me the fuck off that yoga is actually ancient and really good for you. Part of me still feels like it was invented to extract wealth from white socal moms.

I hate New age shit so much I actually get kinda mad when cleaning my room and drinking water actually improves my mood.

Like what do you mean moderate exercise and disciplined self respect actually improve my life. Cut the bullshit and invent cigarettes that are good for me already.

"average cat owner spends 3 years in prison" factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette's mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted

what do you meaaaaaaan this is baby sturgeons youre lying to me.... you just Shrunk him

not fair that the cuntiest woman in this world is a muppet (ms. piggy)

visual aid if it was even nessesary

Hello, enjoyers and agreers of this post! The outfit in this picture was most likely designed and styled by Callista Hendrickson, whose entire job it was to make sure Miss Piggy served at all times. Here is a podcast in which she is interviewed by Danny Horn, Pope of Caring About Miss Piggy since at least 1992, founder of MuppetZine and @toughpigs

One thing that helps me calm down about intra-left-wing sniping and the reality that the big center-left coalition inevitably includes a lot of ridiculous nonsense, is to remember how ubiquitous seances were to progressive politics in the 19th century.  Like, e.g., Frederick Douglas had to go to so many seances. Many, many political strategy sessions around the country had to include feedback from the ghost of Moses who spoke to us via morse code.  

Was thinking again today about Frederick Douglas, intellectual giant, having to sit through so many seances without complaint because he believed in coalition building.

In all seriousness, a lot of people on the left need to cultivate the patience to sit through bullshit and work with people who have different priorities.

Because, yes, environmentalism/reproductive rights/labor rights/disability access are all THE MOST IMPORTANT THING… to you. But there aren’t enough people who hold that one thing as top priority to get it done. And insisting everyone else prioritize your one thing before you’ll engage (and then buggering off if you get your win) means nothing gets done.

We also honestly need to be able to distinguish between harmless and harmful bullshit. Because sitting in a dimly-lit room with a few dozen people staring at a copper cone is definitely bullshit, but it’s not hurting anyone. Whereas “I want to preserve the environment and also there are only men and women and we all need to have traditional gender roles to be true to ourselves” is hurting people. So one can be tolerated, and the other… not so much.

We need bullshit. We need room for bullshit. We need to understand what bullshit we can and cannot handle.

Unfortunately, a lot of people on the left have no problem saying “Because my thing isn’t the most important thing to you, fuck you.” And then they refuse to work with anyone else (and sometimes just quit).

It seems to me the narrative that “nothing can be done” often plays into that. The majority of activists are, well, extremists. We don’t have enough people who can be normal and chill about their cause, who can and will show up for someone else even if it’s not their One Cause. But then, they don’t want to because they can’t reasonably expect reciprocation. So you just get extremists sitting alone seething that no one else wants to work with them while they are unable to work with anyone else.

And that all ties into Frederick Douglas sitting and staring at a copper cone. Because he knew that by showing up, he could get other people to show up for the things he cared about. And an hour sitting with people staring at a copper cone is a small price to pay to get a few dozen people to actually come to a protest.

Limiting the choice to the shows and movies I have seen/know of. I'm not asking who the first actor you have seem playing Arthur was, rather the one you instinctively think about when someone mentions him or the one closest to your heart.

tried to google search for that post that's like.. something about squids and it goes "the squirterrrrrrrrr" and believe it or not that did not show me the thing i was looking for

hey guys ✌️ just checking in. "the squirter meme" didnt bring it up either

(exhausted and covered in blood) i found it

when the body trots on

passed a memorial on my morning trot today. buckaroo about my age, lots of flowers. went to his instagram to learn his way and it was just packed full of photos with buds and good times. you strip away the body and all thats left is love. sad but also very beautiful and important

thinking about this picture from 1975 taken in san fran on this day period

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

Self love is not always easy. It can be challenging and not fun at the time, but your future self will thank you!
