Btw if you see a survey from a website called "Better Me" that supposedly rates your "trauma" be aware that it's made by the BetterHelp company and is weighted to always be at least in the "Moderate" range, with most ending up in the "Severe" cause it wants you to subscribe to their fake online therapy. It's not real or to be trusted.

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.

a list of cool websites i’ve come across because of tumblr:

  • queering the map, an interactive map of the world that allows members of the lgbtqia+ community to find locations significant to their queer experience and write them down for others to see. you can look through this for hours.
  • tree.fm, a site where you can listen to recordings of forests all around the world. each sound recording is accompanied by a beautiful picture.
  • this is sand, a visually satisfying virtual sandbox that lets you create art and showcase it to others. you can also see other people’s creations!
  • a soft murmur, a website that allows you to mix together your own ambient sounds to create your own background noises.
  • futureme, a site where you can write a letter to your future self and schedule to have it emailed to you after a certain amount of time.
  • you’re getting old, a site that calculates exactly how old you are according to your birthday and puts it into perspective.
  • bored button is exactly what it says on the tin. if you’re bored, press the button.
  • geo guessr, a game that drops you anywhere in the world and makes you guess where you are.

[image description: tweet by Netchimen’s Reverie that reads “Tolkien describing places that are evil: no trees grow there” /end description]

This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.

Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):

Here’s Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):

Image

Here’s an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)

So yeah: no trees = evil was Tolkien’s own direct lived experience. It’s precisely why Mordor and the wastelands around it look like they do in his books.

the plateau of gorgoroth, the heartland of mordor, is described as being scarred by countless pits dug by orcs the true seat of evil is full of foxholes and trenches

There’s a lesson to be learned here.

I hope Tolkien would be happy to learn that a hundred years on, trees grow again here:

I think that Tolkien would be very happy to see that.

The trees have reclaimed the land in which hell had been brought

i love cishets and their somewhat ugly pride merch that lets us know they're at least fairly safe to be around i'm serious. like genuinely being like 13 and seeing random adults at the store in black "love is love" shirts where every letter is a different pride flag and the whole thing clashes horribly was the most comforting thing.

^ type of guy id see in the local walmart age 13 who would give me the will to live for the next 5 years

Okay rbing with a bit of commentary

But there's def an enormous group of cishets that are supportive, but incredibly incredibly awkward around queer people. If this is you (tbh I don't think there's a single cishet in my followers list at this point but hey just in case) PLEASE keep signalling it, even in dumb little awkward ways. I see a random piece of pride merch and it makes me that much more comfortable around someone <3
