It is not normal to sell your plasma time to make it 'til the end of the month.

I'm at the doctor's office and a teenager who's like 7 fuckin feet tall just walked in and told the receptionist their name is Sequoia lmao. like is that a chosen name or did your parents somehow know you were gonna be the size of a redwood tree

Regular reminder for all my 19-25yos out there that there is actually never ever any point in your life where you have to stop liking things and become a Boring Adult

You’re also not magically going to turn into a predator unless you, y’know, do actual predatory shit

Talking to the same exact people as last year ain’t predatory shit unless you were already a problem

(And yeah people have gotten worse about this but it’s been dumbass since forever

you can imagine how incredibly pissed my friend was way back in the day when she was 15 and her bf turned 19 and began agonizing if he should end their 18-month relationship and asked her to wait until she turned 19 too

The actual final breakup was over something else but let’s just say none of us had much sympathy)

You are never going to wake up one morning and magically be a completely new person; you gotta put effort into that shit

Luckily, you can also start literally whenever you want to so don’t wait until you can legally vote either

one of the funniest things abt this white collar job so far is that i get to see how fucking long people take for the tiniest things. "please paste this text into a separate document and send it to me whenever you're able to this week" i mean shit, man, i know what it's like to take weeks for a 2 minute task, but that's wild even for my standards. like yeah i can probably find the time to press the copy and paste buttons sometime this week

I think if I could be the kind stranger in someone’s memory, that’d be enough.

People I met for a few moments that live in my head forever.

I can tell we watch a few too many cooking shows at home, because my eight year old told me "the ginger isn't really coming through in this salmon". In his defense, he was right, but at the time I didn't appreciate it.

Friendly reminder that health isn't a moral subject. The idea that being unhealthy is wrong is ableism plain and simple, despite living a very healthy lifestyle I will never be healthy.

I would love it for everyone to thrive. I do encourage everyone to take care of yourselves. But not because it is right or wrong, not because you're bad if you don't.

I could talk for hours about all the different reasons someone might not take care of themself. Disability, being neglected as a child, personal crisis, financial difficulties, sedentary working conditions, time poorness. But even if someone is completely able bodied, neurotypical, finaically well off, and in the upmost position of privilege. Even them. They aren't doing anything wrong by being unhealthy.

Including. This may be hard for some of you to hear. Including if they're fat. Even if they are fat for no reason other than loving high calorie, 'unhealthy' food.

Your health isn't a topic of morality where you are good or bad. It's no one else's business. You aren't bad for being unhealthy.
