homestuck day observed

*tired disgruntled middle aged mom voice* okay everyone gather around the kringlefucker and let's get this over with

the kringlewhat

This thing

weird homestuck merch to get in 2025, I'm not sure how I feel about these simplifications of the carapace characters? I guess the fact that they don't have arms is appropriate.

Everyone on 4/13, crawling out of their secret homestuck bunkers,

tumblr is such a different animal than other social media platforms for so many reasons obviously but one thing i really find funny about it is how on other sites if i see something that doesn't interest me i don't follow or don't like the post. but on here if someone i follow starts posting exclusively about something really niche that i have no interest in my reaction is never to unfollow. its just part of the natural environment. like oh mutual is now really into pro wrestling? ok i guess ill be seeing these guys around now

I feel like I would have been diagnosed with OCD a lot earlier if the vast majority of screening questions (for mental illnesses in general) weren't based on the person's perception of their own behavior, in isolation. and what i mean by that is asking someone with OCD "do you wash your hands excessively?" is not a good question.

a person with OCD believes they are washing their hands the correct number of times. it's not excessive. we believe we're exhibiting best practices and helping to keep everything clean.

better questions might be, "does it seem like you wash your hands a lot more than your friends or family?" "do you get dry patches or cuts on your hands from washing your hands?" "do you find it deeply distressing, more so than how you've seen other people react, when you get something on your hands that you can't clean off right away?"

being asked "are you overly preoccupied with bugs, symmetry, and contamination?" also got "no" responses from me years ago in my life. what they didn't ask for, and didn't know, was what *exactly* I was doing in my day to day life that genuinely ate up my time and mental space to a concerning degree, but I *didn't know* that other people don't do this.

"do you spend a lot of time cleaning?" -> no, it's not a lot. it's a good amount. why?

"do you become frustrated because it seems like no one else meets your organizational and cleanliness standards - do you often 'take over' for other people because they can't do it right - do new friends seem surprised by how strict you can be about your living space?" -> oh. yeah. yeah I get it now.

if the screening questions on the mental illness test sound at all like "are you already aware you're mentally ill?" then, shocker, it's not going to work all that well!

He’s doing his ancestral cry

shoutout to everyone

this was going to be a very different text post before i pressed enter too soon, but you know what, nevermind. shout out to everyone. don't we all deserve it

💯 but its 000 for when something's fuckall

I stg I could come on here and be like “everyone should try to be nice” and somebody I the notes would be like op you don’t understand I have Terminal Meanie Disorder and this hurt my feelings 🥺

“Op is a misogynist because they haven’t considered the societal pressure to be nice that’s disproportionately placed on women.”

“So we should be nice to BAD PEOPLE? We should be nice to NAZIS and let them do whatever they want?”

“Haha what a funny exaggerated post”

I could tag the people who put identical responses to these on my posts but I’d be drawn and quartered.

It’s not bad reading comprehension anymore it’s bad faith.

Thanks mate

Luigi Mangione has been locked up since December 2024, and he's been met with nothing but the violation of his rights every step of the way. Luigi's right to be treated humanely is constantly violated, as is his right to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Evidence is not being provided to his legal team, and he's being treated with prejudice by law enforcement.

Luigi is not a handsome face and a few jokes online. He is a real human being with real pain and real health issues. Luigi is a young man fighting for his life and the media is doing nothing but trying to sexualize him and make light of his situation.

Luigi has already lost so much to this, and although he remains resilient, it's important to remember that his circumstances can't possibly be good. It's also important to remember that if they can do it to Luigi, they can do it to more people, to your loved one, to you.

So please, keep talking about Luigi. Keep standing by Luigi. Keep supporting Luigi.

Never let Luigi Mangione walk alone.

adults disciplining children: i think i will communicate with this brand new human in the loudest, rudest, most obnoxious and socially off-putting way possible

adults disciplining children: i think i will behave in ways that are completely, radically unacceptable in literally any other scenario

adults disciplining children: welcome to earth! for the next ten years i will treat you in ways that i would not dare treat any other person. i do not treat other people this way because i know it is bad and wrong. hope you understand.

We all deserve better as workers and it starts with abolishing capitalism.

The text on the white presentation screen reads: "The economy was already failing most of us before the stock market plummeted so don't let them use this crash to double down on capitalism. We deserve a better system where the economy is based on how workers are doing instead of how corporations are doing." /End ID.]

i had a spongebob dream the other night

still sometimes think about how when my apartment got raided by cops back in 2021 i had a massive neon sign on the wall of my living room that just said "crime"

ik it's an old-ass joke but the ability of ppl on this site to Not Know Who They're Following. like it was on the news. not the local or even the national news . this was a global scale international diplomatic incident

i think everyone should drop out of school and follow an unclear path
