Grant me wings, that I may chase the wind.

i love this tweet i love it so much

i think when it comes to knowledge gaps (especially on tumblr) its easy to get insecure about not knowing everything. but the real secret is that you can get away with not knowing everything if you just dont insert yourself into conversations you dont understand with blind confidence. the internet also gives you the privilege of 1) googling/wikipediaing shit before you say it, and 2) not volunteering how little you know. you dont actually have to enter the conversation just to say how little you know. part of the stereotype of dipshit stupid american on here is that americans will say full chestedly that they dont know which continent tchad is in and then go out of their way to justify it with their lack of education. when no one asked them to say either thing. and even if someone did ask, you are never under any obligation to actually answer.

being a like exclusively nintendo playing guy is a lost art. its like a strange modern religion

Luckily recent economic developments have had no effect on my large stash of blue coins and red coins and green coins and yellow coins and wood coins and lead coins and wet clay coins and dry clay coins and stone coins and steel coins and coal coins aaand cloth coins and straw coins and glass coins and umm water coins and ice coins

is that so...?

stop 😭

the fact that a driver's license is considered some kind of goal in your personhood is unbelievably bullshit

"you're 18! when are you gonna start driving!" why? why genuinely

of course it's funny to hear that from the car girl, but I actually really didn't want to drive when it became possible for me to do so. it wasn't until I was 20 where I was deciding that I felt like I could and should drive a car, for my sake and for helping people out when they can't (which I don't do very often. sorry!) but the notion that it is a necessary thing at all even when you have better options or when you just don't like cars, it's so stupid

I wanted to drive as soon as I could just so I could go places and do things without relying on others. The idea that someone wouldn't want that does baffle me a bit

Becoming more independent and self-sufficient is a milestone? Driving enables you to do that???

It's not a race. You're not obligated to get a license absolutely the first day you can. OP can be happy with whatever timeline they're on. But it's not actually weird that this is a benchmark. Not really.

disappointing text interpretation here

it's funny when quotes from communist figures breach containment online and people are like "btw in case you didn't know this guy was really problematic"

what characters from the owl house did mao ship

if you don’t remember this man abused his wife to the point where she was so mentally ill she decided to pee for hours on end and starved people to the point where they ate their neighbors kids… maybe

Genuinely what do you mean by “she was so mentally ill she decided to pee for hours on end” what does that mean. I can find nothing on this and the human body cannot physically do that. Is this a typo???

Well, the best description for this would be that she decided she was going to pee on drip, which is why it would take. All day. She also also known for abusing the people who worked for her but given who her husband was, I’m not surprised

Which of Maos wives was this and where is your source

Fourth one, and I heard this one from a friend’s dad, who had family working for them at the time. Lived experience is good enough for me, as I know them personally, but you can take it or leave it

Every time we see the federations stupid ship a different one of the zaku pilots looks at me like "put me in coach" and i have to pretend that he isnt about to get ripped in half by an enemy soldier who's clearly having a panic attack over comms

no one seems to understand just how good yuu kobayashi’s voice acting is

something really funny about artistic movements is that more often than not the people considered the "great geniuses" of the movement fucking Hate the label
