even if sex scenes did only exist to make you horny (a ridiculous take that only exists in the minds of those bereft of analytical skills when it comes to film) ... even if that WAS true

"horny" is still a real and legitimate human experience to invoke. "this scene is there to make the viewer horny" yeah, and? the scene after is there to make you sad. film is just a bunch of scenes trying manipulate your shriveled up heart into feeling emotions, just embrace it

great trope when someone is presented as the rational one at first and it appears that way at a glance but when you dig deeper, especially as the story progresses, it becomes clear that they are in fact the insane one

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’

So, we’re just hangin’ out in the breezeway, doin’ our usual thing. The wife’s got her coffee in that pink flamingo mug, lookin’ all relaxed, while I’m nursin’ mine from the Elvis ’68 Comeback Special cup—still the coolest mug in the house. She’s watchin’ this show about drag queens, and damn, they’re ownin’ the screen, struttin’ in these wild, handmade costumes that scream larger-than-life, like they’re channeling some ancient divine energy. It’s got me thinkin’ about Aphroditus, that Greek deity who was all about blurrin’ the lines between masculine and feminine, livin’ free and fluid way before anyone was jottin’ down history. I lean over to her and say, “Babe, ain’t it wild how these vibes go back forever? Like, before words were even a thing, humans were out here expressin’ themselves in all kinda ways. And now, here they are, reborn in sparkles and swagger, just folks livin’ their truth. We’re all different—different perspectives, different ways of bein’—but at the core, we’re just humans, same biology, same messy, beautiful spark. Shit gets complicated when we let it, don’t it?”

She glances up, eyes catchin’ the light, and says, “Holy crap, that dress is gorgeous!” Then she shoots me this warm, knowing wink, like she’s feelin’ the same thread of connection. I take a sip, lean back, and let my mind wander. Think about the faces in your life, y’know? The friend who’s all in on their politics, the coworker with beliefs you don’t vibe with, the neighbor whose attitude’s a bit prickly, or that one person who’s just on a whole different wavelength—maybe smarter, maybe not, maybe devout, maybe not. Different values, different leanings, different everything. But strip it down, and we’re all just humans—same bones, same blood, same need to find meaning. What matters, what really counts, is how we treat each other. That’s the stuff to call out or lift up. The drag queens on the screen, Aphroditus in the myths, the people in our lives—they’re all part of this big, messy spectrum, and it’s our actions, our kindness or our cruelty, that shape the story.

adventure time slang is weird cuz like. when you first watch the show and hear the slang you're like "oh this is cringy slang but its not like awful" but it gets to a point where the voice actors deliver the slang so naturally you don't even notice it and its just. part of the world's vernacular. I can't think of any other show that's done in-universe slang like this

what they don’t tell you about online relationships is how easy it is to ruin them by simply having nothing to say. i like you so much but i don’t know how to hang out with you in silence. i don’t know how to text like a person so now you think i hate you. aaaaaaaaa

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

said this as part of a larger point in a reblog but I'm gonna make it its own post:

humans have the right to do things that are mildly bad for us sometimes.

"Ah! I just had the best massage!"

"Oh? Where'd you get it?"

"Spirits and Such Consulting."

"Eh? Seriously? I never took you for the type to believe in that kind of thing."

"Oh, I don't. The dude is a total fraud but he's a miracle worker with neck and shoulder pain, you just have to tell him it's ghosts."

"What."

"Yeah, it's just this shady guy who works with his nephew or little cousin or something. Sometimes there are some other kids there too, maybe he's a babysitter for his siblings? Dunno. But he'll basically do anything if you blame spirits. One time I got him to change my tires and groom my dog. Weird guy but surprisingly competent."
