Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.

Yeah, the doctors ran some blood work and discovered I was actually the Thing all along. No, I don't know if my insurance will cover it

fascinating population i just discovered: europeans (who generally think americans are backwards savages fot not having free healthcare) who get unreasonably condescensing and abrasive against americans who feel "entitled" to free water at restaurants.

like yeah as people pointed out, you can bring water or find water fountains. and tap water is free on request, but like, that's the norm for us. take the L ok, we're actually right here. free water should be the default.

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

Mr. President, I’ve an alternative suggestion: Spain doesn’t raise its defense budget a single euro, we walk out of NATO, and the US start paying for the two military bases it keeps on Spanish soil and are critical for the US middle east operating capacity. I think 1% of US defense budget will do.

My mother: I had a great idea for a service business. You know how every week or so you have to go through the fridge and get rid of the food that went bad because you forgot you had it?

Me: unfurling the big ADHD flag Well, I buy less produce and I freeze a lot of stuff so I don't have to do it as often, but sure, I know the feeling.

Mum: Well, I thought that there could be a service where someone comes to your house and cleans out the stuff that's going bad.

Me: Riding an elephant through the living room with the ADHD flag rippling behind me That's a cool idea! You could add on a fee for them to cook some meals with anything about to go bad.

Mum: Of course I could never let a stranger go through everything in my fridge and move stuff around. They probably wouldn't remember where the mustard lives.

Me: Unboxing a vivid silk Undiagnosed AuDHD flag That's a good point.

Me, internally: Maybe they could offer psychiatric services as well.

Mum: I could call it A Fridge Too Far.

Me: I have never been more your child.

it wild to me that there are people out there who aren't interested in history

like wdym you don't think about the fact that women would tell stories as they made butter in the same way we listen to podcasts today? wdym you don't think about that one Chinese poet who wrote about how much he loved his cats hundreds of years ago? wdym you don't think about the fact that we found a gravesite of a young child surrounded by flowers from THOUSANDS of years ago? wdym you don't think about how people wrote "i was here" into the walls in Pompeii? wdym you don't think about the little egyptian boy who drew little doodles at the top of his school works more then a thousand years ago?

wdym you don't think about the fact that people, no matter the place, time, social status, are fundamentally no different from you. that they loved the same as you, enjoyed the same things you did, dreamed about a better life the same way you did. that despite how seemingly detached you are from these people, in time, place, and culture, the things you do and the thing u are, are so undeniably human that it transcends time and space
