Maybe… Some memes are meant to be forgotten. Perhaps some memes are just returning to the void whence they came

That's some pretty memephorical shit

Your autocorrect did a thing, eh?

I’m so glad it did, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten these:

#you shall have no other goddesses before her #you shall have no idols except her #you shall not take the name of kate your captain in vain #remember may 20th - keep it holy #honor your space-father and your -space-mother #you shall not murder them in fanfiction #you shall have them commit much adultery in fanfiction #you shall steal their characters from tptb #you shall keep your shirt tucked in #you shall not abandon a member of your crew #you shall go down with your ship (x) 

This is perfection, @emmikamikatze! 

Can…can I get these tags on a coffee cup? Like, immediately?

My Hand slipped. Oops.

Do u ever not realize how starved for affection u are till someone hugs u a bit tighter than normal and you find that you really don’t want to let go

Touch starvation is actually a thing. The term for it that’s emerging in medical/psych circles is “skin hunger”. We as humans are meant to be much more social- and especially physically social - than we actually are, and Americans in particular are often touch starved because the casual, platonic contact that often happens between friends in other places just. Does not happen here.

There’s a really Puritan idea that’s pervaded our culture, that touch and sex are inherently linked, and it’s doing us a massive disservice. Touch is incredibly important for humans- hugs reduce blood pressure, cuddling releases oxytocin, and babies will straight up DIE without being touched enough because the stimulation releases hormones that are integral to their healthy development.

We were never meant to hold one another at arm’s length, and if you feel you need physical contact, don’t be afraid to ask for it! Hug your mom. Cuddle a friend on the couch. Ask. There’s a good chance that they need contact just as much as you do.

person: what’s wrong with you

me: i have the Skin Hunger

Playing Pokemon Go on my college campus is an absolutely surreal experience. Hundreds (I’m not exaggerating) of grown ass adults, walking around at 1am with their phones out, all completely confident in the knowledge that they are participating in a group activity. The corroboration is effortless. A dozen Pokestops with activated lures lit up the area with a drizzle of flower petals. Shouts of “I got it!” and “Yeah team ____!” filled the air. A group of people passing by you in the opposite direction would excitedly tell you where all the coolest Pokémon were. “There’s a growlithe up by Parker Hall!” A couple would race by to try and catch a scyther before their phones died. It’s just so pure and innocent and magical.

But perhaps the best part of all is when my mother called me, from many states away, to tell me about how my autistic sister voluntarily left the house to walk around and catch Pokémon.

you know what i dont understand?? 

why dont adults have sleepovers or spoon with their platonic friends or hang out until sunrise?? when are you supposed to stop putting your head in a random friends lap and telling them to play with your hair?? when do we stop going to the grocery store together and spending the night at each others places and crowding as many of our friends onto our beds as possible so we can snuggle and gossip?

i dont want a house in the suburbs i want an place in the city with a bunch of my pals and dogs where we hang out in the kitchen and dogpile on the couch if one of us is sad

aimless efforts

amazing
