I think the logic here is:

>we save people from fires

>fires can kill anyone, including queer people

>we also save queer people from fires

And in an age where paramedics legally refused to save the life of a trans car crash victim, thatā€™s an important sentiment to state

Grabs a sharpie and adds ā€œAnd Neither Do Weā€

Donā€™t worry, itā€™s there lol.

If you're struggling with the cost of living right now (reasonable), this is your PSA to...

  1. Google universities/colleges near you.
  2. If you can't get out to more than one, look up which one has the highest tuition.
  3. Look-up when the graduation date is
  4. Drive neighborhoods near the university the week before graduation

So much stuff gets left out on the curb. Wealthy college students tend to prioritize convenience over money, so instead of carefully reselling their perfectly good stuff, they frequently give it away or put it out with the trash because that's easier than moving, reselling, or donating. Take advantage of this.

I furnished pretty much my entire apartment from college giveaways and yardsales.

What I got for free:

  • Mattress and box springs
  • 2 10 ft area rugs
  • The massive 9-drawer chest (that has a label on the back that it was custom-made and shipped across the country) that my TV sits on.
  • Two 13 x 2 ft raised garden beds
  • My desk - just sanded it down and refinished it.
  • Three short stools
  • An organizer rack
  • Watering can
  • Tommy Bahama outdoor cooler (retails for $350)
  • Chairs
  • Shelves

What I got for cheap:

  • Two futons for $50
  • Custom coffee table with storage for $25
  • Three tall stools for $30

Seeing all the tags where people are warning that picking stuff up OFF the curb is illegal in their area has the same vibes as the oranges in Grapes of Wrath, and I hope all your city councilmen get eaten by the live furniture from Monty Python.

Genuinely, I donā€™t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners donā€™t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.

Still not right? It might be missing one of these: Mustard powder, soy sauce, fish sauce, vinegar. MSG. Ketchup. Mushroom powder. Maple syrup. Honey.

augustus caesar was only 21 at the battle of philippi? he should have been at the clubbb

truly why was he gaslight gatekeep girlbossing starting in his teens. must not have had shit for young people to do for fun in late republican rome. "video games are turning boys violent" false, my man octavian had such a bad case of bored teenager disease that he overthrew a 500 year old representative democracy and became a dictator. never have I heard of someone who so badly needed a nintendo switch.

before you start getting too down on yourself for how you acted in your worst moments as a teen, remember it could always have been worse. you could have signed over two thousand death warrants for your political enemies. and you didn't do that. probably.

I think in some ways he was the proto vriska

"All autistics have low empathy" - This statement is wrong.

"Autistics having low empathy is a MYTH, we actually have HIGH empathy!" - This statement is ALSO wrong.

Autistics can have low empathy, they can have high empathy, they can have learned empathy. The myth would be that all autistics only experience one end of the empathy spectrum.

In spreading around misinformation that autistics actually have high empathy, you are disregarding the autistics who do have low empathy. And vice versa.

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

Itā€™s always insane to me when people DM me to yell at me about breaching their DNI because I reblogged a post from them

Like how chronically online are you that youā€™re checking the blogs of everyone who reblogs from you

And I genuinely mean that. Even if the post only has like 10 notes at best. How much free time do you have to check the blogs of all 10 of those notes, and then go OUT OF YOUR WAY to message anyone who doesnā€™t fit your strict guidelines for human interaction. And I know some of yā€™all donā€™t just check but you DIG, because some of the stuff I get DMed about is not advertised on my blog as soon as you look at it.

How do you all survive outside of the internet when every persons political opinions and stances on fictional content arenā€™t displayed to you right off the bat.

Like Iā€™m not kidding. Thatā€™s not normal. You are not the normal one in this situation. Please put your phone down for at least a week and go outside.

I love how someone got SO mad at my post that basically boiled down to ā€œIf youā€™re digging through the blogs of strangers who reblog from you, on the strangers reblogging from people website, to dig up dirt on them - thatā€™s not normal behavior and you should stopā€ that they sent me a paragraph of anon hate

Yeah man youā€™re real normal. You won. I was a fool to think that perhaps that was unhealthy behavior.
