i want to write horror because i dont know where else to discuss the phenomenon of trying to help and making everything worse forever

[the-seelie-court-official]

i hate the phrase 'none of these words are in the bible' because it's either true for Every word in the english language (the bible wasn't originally in english) or for None of them (i could translate the bible badly enough to contain any word at all)

you cannot fix that blond man please step away and let the professionals take over

one time i told a guy with a huge punisher decal on his car that i loved the punisher but that i'm too scared to have any of his merch because in the current political climate i wouldn't want people to think i support killing police and the man had. no response whatsoever. he was smiling and completely frozen in place. i'd never seen anyone bluescreen that hard

do with this information what you will

you've probably heard it before, but half-assed is better than no-assed. don't let perfect stand in the way of done. a 0 on your report card is worse than a 50. do it scared. do it wrong. do it ugly, just do it. do not wait for the perfect day to have your little treat. make a day better with the treat. life is for the living. make outsider art

wait a sec. the cybertruck aint even a truck. it aint even a van, there's only the two rows of seating. mf's a sedan with angles

fuck i hate that i have to say it but theatre kids have it like 80% figured out. go do whatever 'stupid' 'embarrassing' 'cringe' thing you wanna do. worst case scenario you biff it and maybe it gets brought up at parties for a while. best case you end up living your most authentic life

it's been said in smarter ways by smarter people. but keeping 'difficult' books and topics away from children is incredibly unfair to those kids who Cant escape 'difficult' life circumstances.

why does little timmy, age 7, white, get to avoid knowledge of racism while little timmy, age 7, black, is expected to navigate a racist world while his peers -unknowingly or otherwise- contribute to his trauma about that heinous status quo?

why does little timmy, age 7, csa victim, have to live in a world where he doesn't know that what his parents are doing to him is wrong because he's never heard the language necessary to communicate what's happening nor does he know it's abnormal?

why do kids who have good lives get to have childhoods completely free of empathy or the ability to reach out to kids who are having a rough time? why do the kids who are having a rough time need to remain silent and uneducated about their own pain?

who is helped by a lack of information besides those adults who are already in power?

real fucked up that caffeine works differently for people in general than it does for me

approaches this wasps' nest with hope and a firm resolution in my heart

you are going to feel much better. if you stop seeking out things that you hate and that make you upset.

yes, i mean you need to stop looking for people who make porn you dont like so you can be upset at them. yes i mean you need to stop searching artists and creators you hate so you can try to push them off the internet. yes i mean you need to stop engaging and start blocking.

being sensitive is okay. purposefully upsetting yourself because you can't control others' actions is self-defeating and juvenile. there will always be people on the internet doing whatever awful thing you're trying to morality brigade out of existence.

put down the fight and go do something you like instead. you only have so much time on this planet

every blessing on every draft-dodger everywhere. and i mean that

if you have biologist friends you need to ask them questions about their interests and let them ramble for 5 to 115 minutes. it's really important for their enrichment

i like to ask if two similar-looking animals are even particularly closely related (squid + octopi, hares + rabbits, orcas + cows, for example) and see where that goes. just be sure the questions are relevant to their specific field and let em explore + teach whatever flows

you think grey is the english spelling and gray is the american spelling but im here to change language and if we all do it it'll become real so hold my hand and do this with me:

grey is for cool-toned greys

gray is for warm-toned grays

[the-seelie-court-official]

listen to me. listen. your actual job in life, and it sucks that your 5th grader teacher didnt explain this adequately enough, is to ask for help when you need it and to accept charity when it would take a weight from your shoulders. Otherwise you end up like Sisyphus- or even worse, Walter White

Dogs will be like. Barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark. And you'll be like. What. And they'll be like. There's a Leaf. And you'll be like. So there is. And they'll be like. Don't like it. Barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark barkbarkbark barkbark bark.
