Uhtred And His Pretty Boys

Today my tumblr shoelaces arrived in the mail. I had to explain the ENTIRE saga of tumblr shoelaces to my mother while my brother (also a grown adult in his 30s) groaned loudly from his office. My mother, however, was delighted. She has declared her intent to compliment people's shoelaces and watch their expressions. (She is 67 and apparently an agent of pure chaos.)

She also asked me to "tell tumblr" that she thought the whole thing was "delightful" and that we are all "very funny people."

people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

do not blame me for the person i become after i see matt murdock again

sometimes you just gotta read something and say “i literally don’t care” aloud and move on

This is an incredibly valuable skill. I've noticed an increase in my personal happiness by doing this.

happy birthday someone

I like reblog going this becaUSE WHAT IF YOU SAW THIS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE

by the time I remember to text back it's too disrespectful to even do it

obviously this has a lot of notes so apologies to op for tacking this on but as someone who the reverse happens to a lot, let me just say, you should still do it! you don't even have to apologize or acknowledge if you missed a message or its been a long time. some of us are just happy to hear from you, doesn't matter how long its been. its usually not as awkward as you think its gonna be. I feel better thinking "life must've gotten to them" than "guess thats someone I won't get to talk to ever again"

it seems unfair that we’re about to have another week, given that we just had a whole week last week

I don’t miss scrolling through tiktok. My mind is wonderfully blank. I have no idea what’s going on over there. I’m playing so much more minecraft and dancing alone in my room much more often.

If you have been looking for an excuse to take a break from tiktok that’s the only reason you need to do it. If you’re looking for a way out, it’s probably hurting you more than it’s helping you.

I mean it. Tiktok is designed to make you fall down the endless void of content. If you are especially susceptible to that kind of algorithm you might end up feeling trapped inside of it. If you feel like that you’re not crazy. Have you been looking for permission to get out? Here’s me telling you that if you want to get out then you can and should. Your brain will heal.
