Okay this is gong to sound condescending on several levels but:

There's a kind of cliche about training a dog - that if you want it to always come when it's called, you should never scream at or punish it when it does. Even if you just spent twenty minutes getting increasingly panicked thinking it was dead in the woods! Even if it had been trampling through the neighbors garden! It is very important that it's direct association is 'stopping whatever super interesting thing I was doing to go back to human = being praised and rewarded'. If the association is instead being screamed at or punished, the dog will be less enthusiastic to stop whatever fun thing it's doing to run to that.

I feel like a great many people would noticably improve their own lives if they started applying the same logic to how they treated other humans.

Discord was the worst thing to ever happen to modding, like yes pls put all of those helpful tutorials and tips on a platform that is impossible to search for and definitely isn't known to randomly implode due to petty infighting. Great Idea.

when i was a teenager going through sexual health classes, for some reason it came up in conversation between my mother and i that orgasms could be used as pain relief, and her following response was “yeah but how would i even do that? I’m single, now!”

that response completely blew my MIND

sometimes ill see the stats on how infrequently the average #woman is jorking it and its so scary to me this cannot be true you people are lying

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".

Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.

It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

sorry to late night commentate but what pisses me off the most about ✨Chappel Roan Discourse✨ are the people who keep saying she's not radical enough. the woman who sang a song about fingering another woman dyke style on a mainstream late nite show. the woman who used her grammys acceptance speech to campaign for workers' rights in the music industry and, when she got backlash for it, responded by donating tens of thousands of dollars to the workers she was advocating for. the woman who came online at a time of political upheaval where most celebrities were either radicalizing themselves to the right or toeing the democratic party line and gave her honest opinion and critique of both sides. was that critique lukewarm? sure. but if any straight or male artist made that exact same tiktok you'd be calling them a communist icon. Chappell is a lesbian drag queen singing about lesbian sex at a time where they are trying to legislate lesbians and drag queens out of existence and you don't think she's making a coherent enough political statement?

the fact that so many people are like “fuck Apple! Glad I have an android phone” proves y’all have no idea what you’re talking about

Oh _lovely_. Everyone go turn this off:

Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides [your] IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.

jeff satur truly the manic pixie dream girl of thai bl - what studio is he a talent under? idk probably all of them at one point. everyone covers his songs as though he doesn’t charge much IP for them but they probably do that cause they’re just THAT good; songs you didn’t know was by jeff satur is by jeff satur; gender identity? unclear. he somehow manages to be gay about the way he drinks water. What does that mean? I don’t know there’s just an acute objective truth about the way he exists that you know he ain’t straight. also he’s one of the top actors, flitting from critically acclaimed project to critically acclaimed project and only occasionally he takes a break to remind himself that he’s also a commercially successful actor. jeff satur just be walking and existing like a beautiful concept the expanse of which is unfathomable by the mortal mind
