hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH

If you haven't heard of Julia Donaldson, she's primarily a picture book author, who we can thank for extremely popular Halloween classic Room on the Broom as well as the Gruffalo.

Let this be a testament to the power of picture books.

I'm living for these jokes.

Also I need "GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH" on a T-shirt.

swordmouse asked:

When my mom was growing up, her household didn’t have a home security system, so my grandpa, a physicist, brought home a disused “Warning: Lasers In Use” sign from his workplace and displayed it to deter break-ins. It cracks me up imagining a potential burglar going “No… surely not…. but maybe I should pick a different house to rob, just to be safe.”

I do think the prevalence of the "Well-Intentioned Extremist Villain" trope is politically concerning but it is ironic seeing backlash against it on this site, which is full of people who genuinely seem to believe any act is excusable if you use enough leftist jargon to explain why you're doing it

Like, call me a lib if you want but I don't think you get to complain about fictional characters using leftist talking points as an excuse to do horrible things if you're internet besties with a Holodomor apologist, and a concerning amount of you are in fact internet besties with Holodomor apologists

It always made me laugh how many people complained about Bioshock Infinite for having Fitzroy kill the children of the founders, when the same people would write out paragraphs explaining why the massacre of the Romanovs was good and justified because they legit believe Lenin did nothing wrong, even the stuff Lenin denied doing and tried to cover up.

There were tons of problems with how Bioshock Infinite did a "both sides are bad" narrative, but so many people just refused to acknowledge that some of the "over the top evil" shit the fictional revolutionaries were doing was based on things real-life revolutionaries did.
