too dis(gay)bled to function

Is there even a point?

If anybody has any spare optimism lying around, ya'girl could use it

something I was struck by in my brief incarceration is that everywhere I looked there was art. some of it in places I had no clue how they got there. when people are in their darkest places they still create, they still try to have literally any impact on the world around them.

we sing songs and tell stories and we went to the moon and we love and love and love and we write each other notes and we cry about robots that lived well past their time and we face impossible odds and we win

maybe no one will remember me in the future. maybe I'll just be one idealist lost to the sands of time. but I'll be damned if I let any of that go without a fight.

He’s 1 now ‼️‼️

When I was a (unmedicated, undiagnosed ADHD) kid, like, under 12, my room was a mess all the time. Not shocking.

I struggled keeping it clean.

I struggled getting it clean.

I would sincerely put in quite a bit of effort and be really proud of the progress I made. Then one of my parents would come check and see how I was doing.

"Well, you've still got a long way to go."

That sentence. I was like, 11 when my parents were saying that to me. It was crushing. All my pride and satisfaction with my work was completely gone. All my effort was worthless to them. All they saw what everything I didn't do.

At the age of ELEVEN, I knew that wasn't right. That wasn't fair. I swore to myself I would never invalidate someone's work like that.

Now, at 30, I catch myself thinking 'I cleaned up, but my apartment is still so messy.' and I flashback to standing in my bedroom as a child, hearing those fucking words from my parents.

'No. I wouldn't invalidate someone else's work. I'm not going to invalidate my own. I did good. I made progress.' and I'll list the things that I DID get done to myself.

You deserve credit for all the progress you make.

You deserve credit for all the work you do.

It doesn't matter how much work you have left.

What you accomplish, no matter how small, counts. Even when what you accomplished was taking a day to rest and recharge and give yourself a break.

Never let anyone invalidate your work. Not even you.

i keep thinking all the mars rovers are the size of a medium dog but i am wrong every single time

theory: fortnite dancing is good for kids

reasoning: for a lot of kids exercise is boring. fortine dancing isnt

other reasoning: theyre fucking children and controversially i think fun should be allowed

Also: it’s funny and at a moment’s notice they are trained and ready to throw down

neurotypicals will be like "you can't self diagnose" and then diagnose everyone they dislike as a narcissist

That's because this is Silmarillion

This is how it feels to read a classic that everyone in the world has already read and loves

"Capitalism makes me sad"

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

the secret to being a cool adult is to wear things that your younger self wanted to wear but couldn’t and to do things that your younger self wanted to do but couldnt

This is the kind of thing I’m talking about when I say that being an adult is better than being a teenager.

Like reality isn’t fun, no, and I don’t like responsibilities, but no one can tell me I can’t dress someway, eat something or do anything. I can do anywhere and do anything situational factors not withstanding.

It pisses me the fuck off that yoga is actually ancient and really good for you. Part of me still feels like it was invented to extract wealth from white socal moms.

I hate New age shit so much I actually get kinda mad when cleaning my room and drinking water actually improves my mood.

Like what do you mean moderate exercise and disciplined self respect actually improve my life. Cut the bullshit and invent cigarettes that are good for me already.
