platonic third base: when you get to know someone well enough that they start making mortifyingly specific observations about you
yesterday i was chilling with my friend and there was an ice cream van outside and every time the jingle played i'd look out the window and after the third time i did this my friend said, accurately, 'i think you want to get ice cream but you're scared of the ice cream man.' devastating
The black areas represent the remaining natural dark skies in the United States
I’ve been in the middle of the ocean at night and now live in texas and it is so hard to explain to people that no, they have not ever seen the night sky. It is so hard to explain to people that what they think is a proper night sky is fucking pathetic. A disgrace.
People talk about how you can’t see stars in the city and yeah, that’s true, but their concept of “seeing stars” is being able to make out orion’s belt.
So, so few people have see the sky in all its glory and it’s not sad. It’s a fucking crime. Seeing a perfectly dark night, no clouds, not a hint of light pollution? That’s a fucking religious experience.
The sky the vast vast majority of us grew up with is not the sky that inspired us to look up. It is not the sky that inspired constellations. You can’t even see most constellations.
Your ancestors looked at the night sky and said “surely, that is where the gods must live.” And you might be lucky if you can see hardly more than a handful of stars.
The sky is full, fucking FULL, of stars, and you’ve never seen them.
light pollution is also actively harmful to many species of birds, mammals, and insects
I’m a mammal the idea idea that I haven’t seen the night sky hurt me

GIRL you are KILLING IT! GIRL i don’t think it’s MOVING ANYMORE. GIRL you can STOP BITING
I think being afraid of becoming 25 can be combated by like literally hanging out w people of all age groups and realizing that they too have personalities and hopes and dreams and goals and life is not over for you at like 30
I am so inspired by my doctor employer’s wife who’s 52 but took up running as recently as 5 years ago and is now the fittest she’s ever been …… like looking at her I always thought she grew up this way but she decided to make this lifestyle change arbitrarily in her 40s and it literally worked great for her like there is no limit on deciding when to change something
Also realizing that the domestic route is outdated too and women are doing literally WHATEVER they want rn is so freeing…. Idgaf ab celebrities but it’s still nice seeing the new artists popping up being 25 and up bc for your early 20s to be your peak is SO sad like it’s peaking in hs but repackaged we need to get a grip
Also incredibly inspired by all the whimsical & fit patients I see. Saw a 82 year old LADY today who could easily pass for 50 and was telling me all about the new trainer she’s working w now, and it’s helping her go to the gym more. And she literally gossiped to me about how cute he was . Also cannot forget about the patient I saw today too who’s a PA and told me not to worry about age bc he literally went to school at 40 and changed his whole life. Hes 72 and so funny and spry like I used to dread reaching those ages but looking at those ppl and how healthy and happy they are I know its so possible
Shoutout to ppl 25 to 35 who are seeing all the people around them give up bc they feel “too old” to try anything new btw …… like you inspire me SO much bc of you I have sm to look forward to
they removed posting from tumblr. now there's only scrolling down through the vast blank expanse. great
