i will give tiktok one concession and that is that it has spawned a comment that contains a phrase that i think of often at relevant moments: pack it up boys we've made a social blunder

(from a video featuring someone's father/grandfather)

is anyone else reading "pack it up boys we've made a social blunder" in the voice of the lead penguin guy from Madagascar

corporate ppl are always like “i hate email comms they cause so many delays” but those people are fools. i crave communication delays. i hit send on an email and then immediately shoot a prayer up to the heavens that the response may take 2-3 days. let’s slow everything down just a bit thank you.

this is the most productive workforce in history and im just doing my part to dial that back a tad

fun fact: due to being out on injury, kurt angle was NOT added to the mix, and so Samoa Joe's chances did NOT drastic go down

as a result, Samoa Joe won at Sacrifice

the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i had to phone a taxi today, scary

every time i see this post i think of that person who posted on reddit that they wanted to go to subway for the first time but they were scared they would say the wrong thing so someone gave them step by step instructions for the entire process and what all the choices would be and when they would ask what question and i just think

someone will

someone out there will see you and say "yes. the world is scary. but let me hold your hand and show you how to do it anyways"

everyone needs that someone, and everyone can be that someone

The subreddit r/explainlikeimscared is a surprisingly good resource for this. People are always very kind and thorough from what I've seen, and I spend a decent amount of time there giving walkthroughs and answering questions when I know the process.

I theorize the reason "bottoms" appear more prevalent than "tops" on these types of spaces is that it is simply easier to be funny about being a bottom than about being a top without sounding like a sex offender

"uuuuu 🥺 pls cock me aaaaaaaa *runs into wall like Wile E Coyote running into his own tunnel painting*" easy as shit comedy

"I want to put my DICK in someone" whoa dude calm down, take it easy

No that's literally it. Kink is stigmatized in such a specific way that it's actually much more acceptable to say "I want to be stepped on" than it is "I want to step on them" or even "I want them to ask me to step on them."

Like it's much easier to find people talking openly about wanting to be submissive (which will be errantly called "bottoming" because being a sub is Ew Gross Kink) but once there's someone to available to actually facilitate that, it's Creepy.

it's coy and demure to be wanted, but it's violative to Want and that's normal and good and hasn't annihlated the ability of so many people to even communicate the fact that they can desire. God help you if you're queer or neurodivergent in that cultural attitutde.

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.
