There are gonna be people who won't like hearing this but if you want to live in a world where mixed marriages, families, and adoptions (particularly POC adopting outside their "race") aren't maligned and discriminated against, then you have got to get more chill about seeing someone partaking in something cultural that you don't think fits the "race" you perceive them as.

many drivers do not want to hear this but it is actually never reasonable to get mad at someone for driving the speed limit. laws dont decide what is moral or what is safe but nobody on the road will ever be Obligated to break the law for your convenience and being pissed off at someone for what you consider to be the unforgivable crime of Not Speeding is an insane stance to have regardless of pretty much any possible context

this guy posted this video called “unethical money making hacks” and was like “i’m selling bullshit art!” and he was buying prints from kmart and covering them in joint compound and making interesting shapes in the joint compound and then selling it as “textured wall art” like sorry bro that’s just regular art you made art i know it feels like bullshit but you’re actually just making art rn

I love those posts that advocate for using your best things instead of saving them for some imagined 'special occasion' that will never come. But I think something should be said for using special things even if you're not using them for the purpose for which they were designed.

Over a decade ago, I made a girl I lived with a very crude origami flamingo for her birthday and, in return, she gave me a sheaf of the most beautiful, intricate, yūzen origami paper. I have never been very good at origami - certainly not good enough to be worthy to use this paper - so it has sat in a desk drawer, untouched, for twelve years.

A month ago, I removed the pack from the drawer; cut them into quarters; and now I use it to write letters from my child's Tooth Fairy. And I watched as my child gasped in wonder and ran their little fingers so, so reverently over the embossed print and the gold leaf and folded it so, so carefully, and placed it in their Special Treasures Box

Use special things, yes. But don't get hung up on using them 'properly'. Hang your best China teacups in the garden full of bird seed. Melt your candles down and give them to friends. Write on the back of the origami paper.

I have come to admit that my own toxic trait is that i DO hold a quiet disdain for people who think that putting flatpack furniture together is hard. Why is IKEA furniture in particular regarded as some Ultimate Test for Couples - "If you build it without killing each other, he's the one, haha!" ???? Like, listen, I get it, i've got a fuck'd wrist nowadays so I DO find that hammering peg A into slot B is considerably more difficult than it used to be, but the task ITSELF? It's like building lego, y'all. Except that at the end of it, you end up with not just some sort of miniature spaceship (admittedly very cool, if not particularly useful) but a functional and stylish side table. It's the perfect enrichment. I smashed together three Billy bookcases last summer with nothing but a screwdriver, a pencil, and the love in my heart, and I had the time of my life. Do you, too, not feel a thrill in your heart at the satisfying feeling of a cam lock twisting into place? Do not the tiny little crinkly bags of screws remind you of candy wrappers to be torn open and piled gleefully upon the floor, like a child at Halloween emptying your haul onto the living room carpet? Am I the freak, or are you? I am willing to accept the former but i die on this hill regardless
