You know how people say everything’s “Gucci” to mean good? Why is it only Gucci that we use for that? I know realistically it’s probably because it starts with a G but I think I’m gonna start using other luxury brands to describe things

“Everything’s Chanel!”

“Sorry guys today has not been very Prada”

“Are we Dior?”

“That wasn’t very Vera Bradley of you”

if you got an additional line of income that guaranteed your basic needs would be met, (notes below)

notes:

- the money can come from whatever source you'd like to imagine. UBI, sugar daddy, magically delivered in unmarked bills onto your dining table overnight by elves, blackmailing jeff bezos, wherever

- it will keep coming indefinitely

- basic needs: housing, food, medical care, clothes, a bit of disposable income, etc. You would not be rich, but you would have enough. It will rise with inflation and such, to have the same purchasing power as before, and will cover you and your dependents

- any money you earn at your job (or anywhere) is on top of the basic needs money. How much you get is not affected by how much you make elsewhere

- vacation doesn’t necessarily mean you go anywhere; you just don't need to go to work

1) Coruscant is built with buildings upon buildings upon buildings, so high that a lot of people have never seen sunlight in their life

2) there is absolutely no way that Coruscant’s building codes would allow that shit to be anything less than fireproof, especially the further down you go.

3) as seen by the lack of safety railings in high places, and the lack of covers on vats of acid or smelting equipment, and the fact that they freely brought space godzilla into the heart of fucking Coruscant...citizen and worker safety is generally not a big concern in the gffa

Conclusion: there is soooo much space asbestos in Coruscanti buildings, especially in the lower levels. Space mesothelioma must be a fucking epidemic among Coruscanti construction workers.

I submit Darth Vader is the most relatable SW villain for any adult:

Infuriated by teenaged daughter thwarting him (several times, then she gaslights him about it)

Obsessed with former manager who publicly owned him (twice)

Starts a fight in a staff meeting by trying to kill a coworker (who mocked his religion)

Kills someone over zoom with the force of his anger while having a totally normal conversation with someone else (who among us)

Makes perfectly reasonable offer to go in on the family business to son, sighs when son dramatically rejects it by falling off a building (not mad just disappointed)

Finally gets tired of boss, chucks him into a huge hole (so tired)

Dies from literal exhaustion (see: tired)

Annoys former direct report in the afterlife (while getting to look young again)

"ew why don't you leave the south, it's so regressive and racist" that's america, my dude. you are describing all of america, and if i have to live here, i am gonna stay in the south.

i did more for my community volunteering with mutual aid organizations and putting together my own fundraiser for queer Appalachians than any enlightened yankee transplant hula-hooping on our capitol steps did. that isn't me bragging on myself, it's me saying in no uncertain terms that i know none of you give a shit about us.

everytime i make the mistake of talking about my desire to move even further out of the TN valley and go to the mountains some silicon valley motherfucker who moved here so their tech start-up could take advantage of our abysmal tax code makes a face, or warns me about the people i've grown up around my whole life. fuck you! fuck your ass, bro!

every single time i help somebody jump their shitty 2001 altima in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Dekalb County or wherever the fuck, wearing my binder and a trans rights bumper sticker on my car, i do more to actually change shit here than Breathanie and her "queer friendly" yoga studio that's exclusively attended by rich cis whites.

God I am so fucking tired of the "introverts are quiet and that means they're nice, extroverts are annoying and loud" bullshit. Honestly. This mentality is one of the things that allowed me to spend the better part of two decades believing I was an introvert when I am actually an extrovert with extreme social anxiety.

Introverts generally use energy when interacting with other people.

Extroverts generally gain energy by interacting with other people.

That's it. That's the dichotomy. And it's not even entirely consistent from one person to the next. Extroverts are capable of social exhaustion. Introverts are capable of social excitement. Extroverts are not automatically social butterflies, introverts are not automatically antisocial homebodies. Extroverts may not like making phone calls because it doesn't feel like a "real" social interaction and just leaves them feeling drained, whereas introverts may like phone calls better than in-person interactions because it doesn't feel like a "real" social interaction and doesn't drain their emotional battery.

Introverts are not delicate misanthropes who hate people and never leave their homes. Extroverts are not "emotional sluts" (yes, I've seen this!) who spend all their free time partying or what the fuck ever.

If the thought of going out to interact with other people who you know and enjoy having in your life fills you with dread, guess what? That's not introversion, that's social anxiety. If the thought of not being able to go interact with other people makes you want to break down, guess what? That's not extroversion, that's a symptom of social starvation. Both of these are signs that there is something wrong and you need to talk to a professional, not make quippy posts on the internet about how much extroverts suck because they keep making you go outside or how introverts are so annoying because they never want to spend time with you.

It is not as cut and dry as you have been led to believe, and it never will be.

Thanksgiving hit like a wrecking ball this year, so here’s my one Extremely Unexpected Organization Tip that I discovered a few years ago and am still vaguely mad about:

If you have stuff you do on a daily/semi-daily basis, organize it like you would if you knew you were going to need someone who’s very rarely over at your house to take care of it for you for a week.

If you wouldn’t email a neighbor or your work-spouse and be like “Okay, the dog food is here, and the dog treats are over there, and the dog toys are here, here, and here, and the dog medication is hidden in yet another location--” then ideally you shouldn’t be inflicting that same situation on yourself. 

Pick a spot that makes sense and aggregate as much of the Task Stuff there as you can.  Doing that means that if you can’t find something, you’re checking one place first instead of five different places before trying to retrace your steps and remember which wrong place you left it in.  If you go to put something away, you’ve got one place you’re dumping everything instead of having to think about which of five places this particular thing goes.  It can also make it much more obvious if you need more of something, have too much of something, or will need to replace/repair something soon.

worst part of being into really upsetting movies is knowing that you can never in good conscience recommend them to anyone who isn’t also insane. like wow this is the best movie i’ve ever seen. time to not tell anyone about it ever

sometimes i catch myself thinking "but no, there's no way angeleyes will actually be a thing. harlan isn't like that."

then i think about the fact that he's a gay cowboy in w.bg and i think. actually, maybe he is

[lunar-wandering]

I genuinely think so many people have forgotten the fact of "there are no toxic fandoms, only toxic people".

When fandoms get big, of course the amount of people u want nothing to do with is also gonna get bigger.

Youre not meant to combat them. Youre not meant to talk about them and expose others to them.

Youre meant to block them at the first signs and continue to enjoy your experience interacting with other people.

Kill the weeds, don't let the seeds spread, reap your wheat and enjoy your bread.

enstarries love to classify characters as "most normal person in ___" but what about the joys of being weird. what's the weirdest thing your fave has done

One of the main things dating apps taught me is that a lot of people think that sarcasm is some kind of special skill that you should brag about, as if it's not just "saying things you don't mean in a shitty tone of voice." People think being sarcastic is the same thing as being witty, although that is nowhere in the definition and if you have spent any amount of time with just, like, teenagers, you would know that it's very possible to be extremely sarcastic without being smart or funny at all. You can be sarcastic and still have absolutely no sense of humor, almost the only thing that's required is hostility. I was reminded of this by a post I just saw affectionately referring to a loved one as a "master of sarcasm" and I realized that you couldn't rephrase that in any flattering way, it wouldn't be a loving compliment to say someone is "the master of being rude, condescending, and insincere." Even if you say someone is a "master of irony", that could at least imply some sort of clever thought process, but the "master of sarcasm" would just be an obnoxious, unlikable asshole. It's not really a quality that you want to advertise in your dating profile, although it could help people avoid you.

I hate it when I'm driving through a neighborhood of what look like very reasonably-sized houses only to turn a corner and realize that the houses are actually huge because they're like 87% ass
