i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

Buon 25 aprile e viva l'Italia antifascista 🇮🇹

No see results option, I'm forcing you to perceive yourself. rb for more results plus

Do you ever have a problem where you just don’t know how to reply to an argument, not because you don’t know the answer, but you just don’t know where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you’d need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars if it were coming from a university?

Yeah lemme just break down an entire degree’s worth of information for you real quick into a nice little digestible summary that won’t shake the very foundations of your entire worldview too dramatically such that you immediately reject my argument

i am SICK and TIRED of people saying chikorita is a bad starter. just because the johto region starts off with a flying and bug gym does NOT mean you cant decently and cleverly use a chikorita. chikorita was the first pokemon i ever chose way back when i was 8 playing hgss for the first time. i was 8 and already knew how to play with chikorita better than all of you chikorita haters. u get a mareep for faulkner and a pidgey for bugsy and by that point u have plenty of pokemon to play the rest of the game nicely and use chikorita when it's smart to do so?? grass pokemon have a lot of weaknesses but if you used ur brain for more than .09 seconds it's super easy to know when they're good to use in battle?

i trained a BEAST of a meganium at 8 yrs old when i barely understood how to play the game like. if you actually tried then you'd appreciate the PERFECT BEING chikorita as much as i do.

also chikorita is ADORABLE. it's a leaf pear that turns into a fucking FLOWER SAUROPOD DINOSAUR. WHO WOULDNT LOVE THAT?!?

PEOPLE WITHOUT TASTE clearly

anyways fellow chikorita lovers mwah ily

chikorita haters dni😤😤😤🙅🙅

Minding your own business and some fucking scarab just rolls a big ball of shit over you

How do you go on with life after that?

Look you thought YOU were having a bad Monday, but please get some perspective. In all likelihood nobody rolled a gigantic orb of shit over your body, compressing you stinkily into the dirt.

It's one of those days.

Literally the brioschi advertisement

Not a single thought running through this man's head.

executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.

It's a weird fucking feeling realising that you actually have to plan ahead for and schedule in the things you like to do, as well as the things you have to do.

I don't mean the complicated stuff, that's a given.

If I'm going to the cinema, then I accept I'm going to have to look up film times and buy tickets and figure out when I'm going to leave the house. If I'm going to visit a friend who lives in a different county, then I accept that I'm going to probably be looking up travel times and planning activities and where to eat and what time we'll be doing what, for possibly days beforehand.

But its even the fucking lowkey stuff. If I want to watch a tv show, I have to plan time out of my day to do it, and I don't always get round to it. If I have a whole day free for some reason, and I decide I want to watch a film (at home, on the sofa) and I don't lay out a plan for when I'm going to do that and how long I'm going to take, then it just won't happen.

If I want to go for a walk just around my local area before it gets dark, or eat something with a slightly longer cooking time, or write my diary, or read a book I've been looking forward to reading, or even read fucking fanfiction that is longer than about 8000 words, then I have to set some sort of plan beforehand.

Like, I know intellectually that executive dysfunction affects more than just the things you don't enjoy doing. But fuck it doesn't really hit you until you realise that you haven't sat down to watch an episode of that show you like for over a week, even though you can't really name any activities you've been doing or commitments you have that would make it impossible to do so.

Anyway, this is a reminder to people who struggle with that sort of thing: schedule your days off, lest they be swallowed by the Pit before you get the chance to do anything fun with them.

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in allopreening (preening between different species)

and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger

and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!

yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.
