This is modern art. The tragedy and hopelessness is perfectly encapsulated in your lack of a choice. Were you in his place, you would do no different. Because the gods have deemed it so, because fate is stronger than you. I’m usually not a big art person but holy shit

i remember seeing this exact video with this exact caption over 10 years ago on funnyjunk.com
The fact that it took Fincher sending him a copy of the script to realize why his wife left him.
Scream this is iconic….
Ilia fucking Malinin’s world record breaking free skate
Oh my God every bit of this is wild
-when he does the first big jump the announcers start screaming. I don't understand enough of what I'm looking at to get what about this is breaking records but the announcers screaming was a pretty big clue
-He's dancing to music from Succession????? I don't recognize all of it but some of it is definitely the theme from Succession. At one point the audience claps along to the music. And I'm not sure if it's out of support for the skater or because they like the song 🤣
-when he finishes he just lays down on the ice incredible
THAT'S MY BOY!!! I SKATE AT HIS RINK!!!
Some other notes for everyone:
In short, this kid is wild, had the performance of a lifetime, and I had the blessed opportunity to witness it.
Pipe expanding machine
Wowww
This is real “looking for your glasses while wearing your glasses energy”.
People think parents are joking about how tired we get.

love starting a post with "btw" with no relation to anything i've previously said. this stream of consciousness ends when i'm dead
What’s up. I have OCD and anxiety, and here on tungl dot com, there is a nice little type of post that makes my blood pressure flip the fuck out every time, and it’s those “if you are reading this [x]” / “reblog and [y] will happen” type reblog memes
You know the ones: money cat, lucky xyz post, that sort of shit. The revival of old school yahoo viral email chains. Even immunity rabbit or whatever – same premise. Anything that says, ‘By reading or reblogging this post, you are activating some specific effect.’
Basically, most people can probably ignore them easily if they don’t like them; but others, especially those with particular psychological conditions (aka, ME) can actually suffer stress responses to posts like this. Obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenic spectrum, anxious, paranoid, magical thinking type disorders especially can see a superstitious post and have it automatically activate an anxious or compulsive reaction, because to the brain, it’s like a new rule/parameter has suddenly been introduced to your environment without warning. Now suddenly, whatever atypical structures frame your brain function have to accommodate for an alien factor. <- I don’t know if any of this really makes sense; it’s hard to articulate in a NT-accessible manner, but hopefully the general gist comes through.
Anyway. So far it’s been basically impossible for me (and therefore, I presume, others as well) to avoid posts like this, because they don’t tend to have any sort of universally recognized term to tag warn for. As a result I’m basically always playing Russian roulette with my dashboard.
A while ago, I asked tweeter followers to vote on the best thing to call these, and most agreed that ‘superstitious posts’ was fitting. So now I’m asking tomblr users to consider making my life and others’ lives easier and less stressful in One Easy Step:
tag for #superstitious posts !
It would… honestly make a big difference if this were standardized and I will be eternally grateful ❤️😪
(Ok & encouraged for ppl to reblog this!!!)
[ID: two tumblr screenshots of good luck “i reblogged and a good thing happened” posts]
Reblogging for the ID and also to add two things:
1) I am deeply grateful for every single person sharing this and especially for all the comments like this:
[ID: an amalgamation of screenshots from the replies and tags of this post, cut and pasted together - the comments pictured are largely echoing the sentiment and attesting to their own bad reactions or dislikes towards superstitious posts]
- because it really demonstrates that there are many many people who would benefit from adopting this and so making the effort to tag does definitively make a difference; and
2) In response to a lot of replies or tags mentioning that people frequently use the tag ‘#reblog bait’ to warn for these, I just wanted to specify that while that works fine for some people, it isn’t actually great for everyone, because ‘reblog bait’ tends to cover a whole lot of different post types - including tag games, ask memes, and other sort of things that we might not want to universally block.
I would be really really grateful for this reason if for this particular type of post, people could add the #superstitious post tag!!
Thanks I love you please help this keep spreading <3
Please, please, please let this catch on. So often I’m torn between reblogging a post and potentially triggering other people, or not reblogging and feeling that anxiety running like a background program in my brain all day.
I also wanted to add that, in my experience, posts like this can also be triggering if you’re trying to recover from growing up in a toxic religious environment that focuses on punishment for doing the wrong thing or blessings for doing the right thing, because it’s very easy to start seeing EVERYTHING through that lens and to be influenced by anyone who gives you instructions framed like that.
there was a kid in my elementary school who constantly wrote land before time fanfiction and he would bind it up and staple it all together and just put it on the library bookshelves and wait for someone to read it
shoutout to everyone who goes through life trying to understand other humans rather than dunk on them
Heartbreaking: This person is making great points but they're being a huge fucking asshole about it so you can't reblog any of it
this tweet genre is so fucking funny i need more of them
