someone spay me

"this fandom is annoying" every fandom is annoying dipshit. it came free with being passionate about something.

I desperately need someone to convince my nervous system that the tiger does not exist.

Have a strawberry

...👀will it help?

OK, so not long after I started studying Buddhism, I was told a story at our discussion group.

There was a guy walking through the forest when he spotted a tiger stalking him. He took off running, but the tiger was keeping pace. Putting on a burst of speed, he shot right over a cliff

He grabbed at a vine to keep from plummeting to his death. The tiger was there, at the top of the cliff, snarling, so the guy decides to climb down. Suddenly he hears a snarling from below. He looks down, and there’s another tiger, tail lashing, waiting for him to get down. Looks up, and there’s the first tiger staring at him. He sees that the vine is starting to break. Something will happen soon, and it will end with him inside a tiger

Just then he notices a small strawberry plant clinging to the cliff next to him, with a single ripe berry on it.

It was, without a doubt, the best strawberry he had ever tasted

When you’re surrounded by tigers; find some small joy near you. It won’t stop the real tigers, but it will let you have what joy you can.

And if they’re metaphorical tigers? Ignore them long enough and they’ll go away

Finally, an anxiety metaphor that actually describes what it's like to have anxiety...

Horniness is not intrinsically less pure than any other human motivation

"He only made this art because he was horny!" ...Yeah, and? You only made a sandwich because you were hungry.

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

yesterday she told me some story about the Buddha's wife and child and I was like. Wait. He fucked? And she was like yeah of course he fucked, why wouldn't he, he was the most attractive and loveable and and wise and etc. person who ever lived. why would he not fuck.

this morning she looked perplexed in the kitchen at me and said "did Jesus not fuck?"

the secret to being a cool adult is to wear things that your younger self wanted to wear but couldn’t and to do things that your younger self wanted to do but couldnt

it could be worse. at least i'm not 17 again. or 16 or 15 or 14 or 13 or 12 or 11 or

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

human brain is so easy to manipulate its stupid. sun is out longer in evening = life is worth living...read some negative social media posts = everybody hates me...read one interesting article = i have the scholar's ambition

if there's one thing we can learn from this booping experience it's that we need to give people notes and interact with them for tumblr to be fun and thriving

"we need the boop button to stay" no we don't. tumblr already got lots of buttons to press every day. look at those beauties right here ↘

growing up and maturing is realising that people including yourself make mistakes. all of us learn from it. we grow and be better, for ourselves. not for anyone else’s sake. maturing is knowing you’ve done something wrong, accepting it and continue to work to become a better version of yourself.

when we're done booping i think tumblr should bring back porn
