Guess who finished the wheel. Did I maybe upload this a while earlier already? Yes. Did I take it down because of how unhappy I was and tried to fix a few things? Yes.

you see people describing themselves as "loving food" or "loving music" and you scoff because who doesn't? and then it turns out there's people who genuinely do live in silence with a mayonnaise sandwich for every meal. world is so vast

One of my favourite things is surprising friends in the exact way I know will hype them up most. It's like im saying the word "treat" to a dog.

Your friendly reminder to not spend money on gacha.

if your response to this post is "too late for me" i want you to sit down and think very, very hard about your life. Because maybe you said it jokingly, and it IS a joke, then good for you, but if you actually do spend significant amounts of money for a jpeg you're not even sure you're going to get, you might have a gambling addiction and that is a serious problem not a joke or a meme.

and on a similar note, keep in mind that people who do spend money this way need support, not ridicule. these types of games are specifically designed to engage existing addictive tendencies and to create them in vulnerable people. addicts aren't stupid or irresponsible, and the root causes of addiction are often genetic and traumatic, so please be compassionate, not dismissive

this is the saddest fucking thing. wheres that post about when you cant even write a poem about it because its just there already

if you germinate cucumber seeds in the dark vs. in the light the ones grown in the light will look normal and the ones grown in the dark actually won’t be stunted in the way you might predict, these seedlings grow into pale yellow plants with smaller leaves because they expend every ounce of energy they have into growing as tall as they can possibly endure, in the dark they grow much faster and taller than they do in the light, because they don’t know they’re an experimental treatment kept in the dark, they think they’re buried alive in the soil or under some foliage and they’re growing upwards trying to break through into the light. its the most obvious thing in the world and also the most devastating

The search query is “why does rhubarb grow in the dark” and the answer provided by the search engine is “"It grows because it's looking for the light,"” where “because it's looking for the light” has been highlighted as selected text. /end ID]

Haven't posted in a while, so have a picture of my first official TTRPG Character Blix :D she's a kobold cleric and I love her!

i promise you that nobody has ever in their life thought "wow, this other person inserted absolutely zero friction into my life. they were so efficient and worked so hard to get out of my way. i love them for that." not EVER. not ever ever. if you sublimated your own personhood that hard they didn't even think of you at all. the people we remember in life are the people who got in our way a little, and broke up our routine, who asserted their perspective and gave us something new to think about or feel. that's how we form real relationships -- by inconveniencing one another and actually having a marked influence on one another's lives. to be loved is to be annoyed. and to be annoying at someone. and to be thankful, at the end of it all, that somebody broke you out of yourself for a moment and got in your way.

it's great to be considerate and obviously not every interaction is gonna be special, but you can't go through life as if every person is a cashier that you don't want to get mad at you for asking for an extra bag.
