Today, someone who I've spent a significant amount of hours said to me "you're the most mysterious person I've ever met" and I can't stop thinking about it because you could just be standing in the room with me, saying nothing, and still find out within five minutes that my dad is dead.

Neopets, but make it Pokemon

people in books and tv shows are always getting so upset they throw an untouched meal in the trash. that would never be me. i'd receive the worst news of my life and still be like Let me put this in the fridge.

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

Occasionally as an Australian you'll be talking to someone from overseas, and you'll discover a common phrase you took for granted is, in fact, not universally known outside of our country.

Turns out casually dropping "fuck me dead" into conversation will give unsuspecting Americans an aneurism.

The more you know.

Why is this heat so hot 😩

sometimes i feel ive got to

I'm so sorry (no i'm not), but I've been convinced for quite awhile that the specific way someone responds to that song almost always outs where they are on the sub/dom/switch spectrum

Hey just wanted to let you know, Good Morning Sunshine felt a little patronizing for a brief time period a few years ago.

Recently though, i listened to it and all i could do was smile as i saw just how many metaphorical bricks i had moved as assembled. It's not finished yet, but it's taken shape. Thanks for the impromptu introspection, Mx. Cookbook.

That's a totally fair reading! It's not me saying this is how people should be talked to when they're depressed, and I think the narrator has a bit of a character arc over the course of the song - starting as combative and not ending in exactly the same space

Y''know, maybe it's not all that bad!" -Me while delusionally thinking I've had a breakthrough at five in the morning after staying up all night and crashing out over the same thing for two months straight

this is so fucking funny to see following up my sister telling me about the show and going "Matt kept shouting for us to give a PITT and a SBURGH. They did it a lot. I feel like between every song, and in the middle of one too. We were all pretty into it."

Then hearing her partner in the background shout "GIVE ME A PITT!"

trying my absolute hardest to manifest GIMMIE A PITT, GIMMIE A SBURGH, WHAT'S THAT SPELL?? into Pittsburgh culture. i think i did it 15 times tonight. i want to hear it at Steelers, Penguins and Pirates games by 2027 people

I can tell if a bug has a troubled past

Any day now

[iseetheisland]

if there is one thing about me, it is that I will causally drop absolutely any of my lore just to see what happens

how is your 2025 resolution to unlearn your deep rooted shame going queen

When you're describing an interaction to someone that sounds extremely intimate and romantic and you need to explain how it could possibly be a platonic thing:

I'd rather hang out with someone who keeps accidentally calling me slurs but treats me like a person, than someone who actively polices every word anyone says and acts like belonging to a marginalised group is my only redeeming quality as a person.
