This has the same energy as a writer desperately trying to make their insanely cool but devastatingly off the wall plot point work with the rest of the story
kipperlilly having anger issues this entire time makes me kinda admire her cause like first day of senior year one of the people of the party you famously hate makes fun of your name and your party’s pin and then tells you she’s also running for student president, and you don’t beat the shit our of her ????? insane. jawbone has to be the best school counselor to ever exist
imagine ur garthy o’brien, just trying to fuck this hot ranger you met at your brothel that you own, except her teenage kids/wards/bosses keep knocking on the door to your bedroom and interrupting you guys and THEN you learn that she’s actually in a committed relationship but didn’t tell you, so THAT sucks but THEN one of the teens comes and finds you in the middle of the night yelling about how his friend is gone and they can’t find him and he might be in danger, so you help him teleport to his friend, and then when they all get back, looking extremely upset and dejected, you apologize to the ranger’s daughter for making her feel uncomfortable by fucking her mother and in the process SHE reveals to you that her mom’s boyfriend is actually this really cool werewolf guy that you KNOW and have fucked on multiple occasions
i feel like no one really wants to hear that sleep/exercise/nutrition/hydration are major factors in treating mental health issues bc we’ve all talked to that person who thinks your depression would be cured by one good session of goat yoga or whatever but unfortunately they do help and i’m chronically annoyed about it
Lotsa people in the notes like “i can’t change these habits because im too broke/depressed” which, as a formerly broke and depressed person, is patently untrue, so here’s some starting points:
-hydration: carry around a water bottle. a funky metal water bottle you can put stickers on is like $10 and if you can’t afford it just chronically refill a gatorade bottle or smth. Just having water nearby will help. And hydration really, really helps with energy levels for things like…
-exercise: my advice for this always is “find a sport you actually like”, but if you’re coming off of a years-long depressive sedentary period, start by walking. Like, TO places. The bus stop. A neat tree in your neighborhood. Is there a convenience store nearby? Go get a gatorade (see:hydration). Is there a library or other place where people gather? Even better. This is free and doesn’t have to take any longer than 10 minutes at first. And don’t go telling yourself “oh it was only 10 minutes it doesn’t count” STOP! That is the depression talking! Literally any amount of movement is 100x more movement than you were getting on the couch! You’re doing great! And once you’re in a good exercise habit, it will help a lot with…
-sleep: ah, the white whale. But remember that literally just lying quietly in the dark is resting, even if you don’t sleep (it’s science!). Try to be in bed, no lights or phones, at the same time every night and just…chill. listen to some chill music. Try not to get up for a least a few hours. And then, the next day, when you’re wrecked?? Try to avoid napping at all costs. Your circadian rhythm should theoretically stabilize after a few nights of doing this, and resting should become easier. Human chemistry is SO routine based, just keep your schedule as best you can!
Nutrition: yeah this is depression hell. But it’s not as expensive as it seems to “eat healthy”. Apples, bananas, and oranges are all cheaper than chips and also require pretty much no prep, just shove em in your mouth (and don’t give me that shit about caloric content; yes, I know chips are more filling, but they’re not going to give you the happy chemicals you need to help depression. If you’re so broke you will starve without 100 extra calories from a bag of doritos, your depression has environmental causes much deeper than lack of apples.) If you CAN cook even a little bit: frozen vegetables are cheap af and they slap with some butter and garlic powder. Throw some frozen peas in your mac and cheese. Kale and zucchini are cheap as hell in summer and they are delicious when flash fried with butter and salt. I know taking 5 minutes to cook seems insurmountable when you’re depressed but as my therapist always says, the cure for depression is doing the things depression doesn’t want you to do. And it will improve your mood so, so, so much to get some fruits and veggies in you.
please notice that literally ALL of the above are about building HABITS. And habits are built by inches. A single serving of frozen vegetables will not cure your depression. But a single serving of vegetables, every day? a liter of water, every day? a short walk to see some trees or smth, every day? It really does help. And Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day or seven days or fourteen days. Just pick it back up where you left off. 2 servings of vegetables in a month is better than 0 servings in a month, or a year.
[ID: Tumblr tags that read: “#one thing that helped me was to stop seeing days where i couldn’t do these things as moral failures #i don’t remember where i first saw the quote which UPSETS me but #i remember someone saying when you treat every mistake as a huge failing you can never recover from #you absolve yourself from the idea of trying again #i started doing an 8 min workout i found on youtube #and slowly stopped seeing the days i missed it as Huge Fucks Up I Couldn’t Recover From #and just as a day i missed #and it helped me pick it back up when i missed days #and it’s helped me Move now #so. you can do it. and a missed day is just a missed day #try tomorrow (heart emoji). /End ID.]
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.
Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.
Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.
But queer is more inclusive
And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.
It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you
It’s called economía del lenguaje.
It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.
Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.
Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.
“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”
Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?
I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.
queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid
every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.
I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.
baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit
every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.
terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.
we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.
I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.
It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.
The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.

the best gimmick account on the entire world wide web is tumblr user hellsite genetics. i want to be soul read and kin assigned some isopod its like a patronus without the transphobia
Can someone tell me where these feminine trans guys with massive tits who wear push-up bras and skimpy outfits that I keep seeing transphobes complain about are? I’d love to see massive tboy boobs.
Iceland is fucking bizarre my name change made the news
Like just @ me at this point I’m literally the only person in iceland (and very possibly the world) who has the first name Lauf
(Article title reads “Lauf and Birningur in group of new names in the name register”)
No one lives here so now two of our biggest news outlets are vagueing about me lmao
Hmm you’re right. Correction: two of our biggest media outlets are talking about me specifically because they are obsessed with me
This morning I showed up to work and my boss was like “congratulations :))” and I was kinda confused so asked her on what and she said “your name, I heard about it on the radio”
So far I have counted two online articles and apparently the radio is also talking about my name change so I’ll keep you guys updated when I’m on national tv or something
With a little legwork we can make more people on Tumblr see this than the entire population of Iceland.
Have you no love for him?
Updated for tumblr news formatting
It’s not <3 but that’s ok
Eyes on the prize besties
Yes you can lol
Or at least on android you can
Yoooo exactly 90.000 notes damn also idk what’s happening either
Actually now that I have my phone switched to Icelandic for once I just noticed that on spotify “liked songs” is now “lækuð lög”
My first thought was “oh but that’s kinda lazy since ‘læk’ is just borrowed from English” (it’s literally just the English word 'like’ but with Icelandic spelling)
My second thought immediately following that was “shouldn’t it be 'líkuð lög’ instead?” (Since 'lög sem þér líkar við’ is a bit of a mouthful)
The flaw here is that “líkuð” is not a real word in Icelandic, even though in this context it feels like it should be. If it were a word though, it would be a different form of the word “lík”, which means corpse.
So, corpsed songs. I guess I’m more okay with using the word “lækuð” now, even if it does feel a bit lazy.
The guy who taught me Icelandic at HÍ is Danish, and has recently become an Icelandic citizen. Because of this, his name also made the news because he wanted to change the spelling of his Danish last name to the Icelandic spelling. So now I technically kinda sorta know two people whose names made it to the news in Iceland.
Do you even live in Iceland if your name hasn’t made the news at least once
Actually yeah. My other Icelandic teacher is Serbian, and since she (at least unofficially like as an artsy poet’s pseudonym) uses the Icelandic versions of her parents’ names as her last names, I think she’s also made the news. The news might have been more about the poetry than the name, but yeah. Getting into the news in Iceland apparently isn’t that hard.
I’ve been in the news like 7 times at least it’s really not that hard
Things I’ve been in the news for include but are not limited to:
Just kinda going places tbh. Going to Germany for a thing, visiting someone’s workshop etc.
My brother getting really into knitting when we were kids and they let me be part of the interview
Helped set the Icelandic record for the biggest group dance when I was like 10 (we danced to Gangnam Style)
Went missing and they put out a thing about it so people could help find me (the truck driver who found me told me he’d heard about a missing kid on the radio and knew my name from there)
Name change (yay)
Idk I donated to charity once and that made the local paper
I think this happened when I was 10 years old but anyway here’s a couple things you need to know for this story to make sense
My grandma hates horses.
I really loved horses back then (still do, I’m just less obsessed with them now)
I was on a very high dosage of zoloft relative to my tiny gremlin body and one of the side effects of that was that it removed any sort of apprehension or ability to make rational decisions. When I got bad ideas I just immediately did it without giving it a second thought.
So anyway my siblings and I didn’t know this but our mum was kind of entering a new relationship at the time, it was only their third date so she didn’t want to introduce him to us just yet so in order to see him without any of us knowing yet she asked our grandma to take us with her for an afternoon to our great grandparents’ cabin in the countryside. This was completely fine and we’d been there a bunch of times before and it was always pretty fun so I was fairly excited. On the way there though I spotted a herd of horses standing pretty close to the road not too far from the cabin so as soon as we got there I decided to tell my grandma that I was gonna go for a quick walk to get some fresh air (she totally knew I was gonna go find the horses lmao) and she was okay with it since I knew the area pretty well and it wasn’t far away.
Anyway I get to the point where I thought I saw the horses and they aren’t there. F, but what can you do? I did look around a little bit more and that’s when I spotted another herd of horses (or maybe it was the same one, idk) off in the distance standing in the middle of a field.
At this point I was excited again and while I was a little hesitant to leave the road I figured it would just be a quick trip back and forth so no real harm done. Besides, it’s a field, how hard can it be to find the road again?
Apparently very hard because once I was about halfway across the field to where I’d seen the horses I looked up (I’d had to keep my head down for most of the trip so I wouldn’t trip since the ground was very uneven) and suddenly the horses weren’t there anymore. At this point I admit defeat and turn around except as I’m walking back I’m not finding the road either. I was totally fucked and I knew it.
After thinking it over for a bit I decided to just pick a direction and walk until I reach a road. Idk how long I walked for but I did eventually find one but I had no clue where I was and there was very little traffic around so I figured I’d just walk along the road for a bit until, idk, something happened. After a while I came to a stop and wouldn’t you know it, there was a herd of horses there.
I had already accepted that I had no clue where the fuck I was and help probably would not be coming any time soon (in my child brain I was like “ok so it takes 24 hours for someone to officially be declared missing so I guess I’ll just hang around here for a day and hope someone finds me sooner rather than later”) I also figured I would be easier to find if I stopped moving so I decided that the best course of action was to just stay there with the horses.
It wasn’t too bad all things considered, time did go by a bit quicker when I had the horses there for entertainment. They were very calm and gentle and I even laid down to rest with them for a while. I did spot a building in the distance at some point and decided to make my way towards it hoping to maybe find someone there or at least get some shelter.
Unfortunately since there was a lot of wetland around this area (the horses were fenced off from it) I did fall into a mire and had both of my legs submerged in mud up to my knees. This was when my survival instincts really kicked in since I knew damn well that past a certain point I wasn’t getting back out of there alive. Thankfully there was some tall grass surrounding it that was much more firmly rooted so that gave me something to grab onto and pull myself free. (Idk how I managed to not panic tbh, I was essentially facing everyone’s childhood fear of falling into quicksand. I did lose both of my shoes in the process of getting myself out but considering I had just avoided possibly the worst way of dying out in the wilderness I was okay with that)
After that I made my way back to the horses and just kinda chilled out waiting for someone to rescue me. Eventually a truck driver spotted me and asked if I was the missing kid on the radio (I, stupidly, went “I don’t think I’ve been declared missing yet” as if there was some other missing child matching my description in the area. He knew my name though so I got in the truck and he drove me to the next farm.) After talking for a bit he told me those were his wife’s horses and I told him they were very well tamed. I remember he paused for a bit and then said “none of them are tamed yet”
Eventually the police picked me up and drove me to our cabin, where I was met with pretty much my entire extended family anxiously standing outside. This was how I met my step dad after he had accompanied my mum there for support, covered in mud and stepping out of a police car after apparently having dropped off the face of the earth for five hours.
After this my zoloft dosage was significantly lowered by my psychiatrist. I also got cool new shoes (they were purple)
Also turns out you are officially declared missing wayyyy faster if you are a small child and at risk of, idk, falling into a mire or something.
So you just speedran every Whimsical Childhood Adventure all at once huh.
racists getting mad in the notes on this cute video I posted now lmao. the reason I posted it to begin with is because I was seeing too many posts about Palestine where people were talking about Palestinians as if they are a political problem to be solved and not human beings.
Of course when it comes to Palestinians who simply trying to enjoy moments of happiness they often get judged and disrespected for it!!!
anyways here’s the full song that they’re singing. it’s a traditional folk song sung by the beloved Palestinian singer-songwriter Rim Banna, known as the voice of Palestine. (Rest in peace). her music truly captured the spirit and resilience of Palestine. May her legacy continue to inspire and resonate with people around the world. ✌🏼🖤❤️🤍💚
Hala La La Layya ( Palestinian Folk music)Rim Banna
Today, people in Oakland, California, Eugene, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois have blocked major highways. Demonstrators in Minnesota blockaded an Amazon facility. Others from Canada to Australia have shut down ports and other infrastructure.
These courageous actions in solidarity with Palestinians are just one step towards stopping the genocide in Gaza, where the Israeli military has slaughtered over 34,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children.
It’s up to us to create a world without colonial violence of any kind.
🚀 People trying to blame Iran for this measured and calculated “escalation” conveniently ignore the facts. The real question is why are the UK and US so quick to condemn Iran for its attacks tonight, but so unwilling to condemn the Israeli attack on Iran’s embassy in Syria?
Idk who needs to hear this but it’s okay to cry over spilt milk. You dropped your food and you were really excited to eat it? You can cry, you’re not any lesser than anyone else because it’s made you upset. It’s not silly if it made you sad.

we’ve gone beyond driving a dead horse into the ground we’re partaking in some kind of ritual meme sacrifice and i am all for it. mass-scale meme purge. the blood raining down on our faces and we’re dancing and laughing
alternatively this is the linguistic equivalent of “your face will stay stuck that way” and we’ll inadvertently find ourselves in 200 years barely registering that we’ve permanently shifted basic syntax like “i’m a writer” into “i do not beat the writing allegations”. this could be our Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra moment

It’s never felt more like a ‘Fuck western lefties’ time for Iranians than now! My people are struggling socially and economically under the rule of a fascist dictator terrorist regime, getting beaten, murdered and silenced by a corrupt government, that is vastly unpopular, day in day out. Now we’re at the brink of a costly war on top of everything. And western left wingers are CHEERING ON THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC! Twitter and Instagram are full of dumb westerners acting like the IR is some kind of hero here. Fuckin hell. Two terrorist regimes are going at each other, the result is going to be more misery and civilian deaths. More destruction and casualties. There’s nothing to cheer for here.
I can just hope this won’t escalate into another humanitarian crisis. God knows the world doesn’t need more war and loss of innocent lives right now.
