“Miles Morales is a teen so naturally he’s read homestuck!”
why do people edit gifs to be black and white and either so dark or so pale you can’t see anything
the funniest thing we do to alligators is duct tape their mouths shut when we need to handle them. imagine being a creature so ancient and undefeatable that you haven’t changed in thousands of years being rendered basically defenseless by a piece of plastic
SHUT
Ending “Cringe culture” has turned into “you’re not allowed to have boundaries” because nobody knows how to critically think for two seconds
If someone is personally warded off by something you do, it’s different than enforcing cringe culture. People are allowed to dislike you/a show/a hobby without being labeled as a bully.
This is okay to rb, by the way
“Do not scorn the quality of women’s intelligence, you malignant and evil-tongued men! Shut up in their rooms, denied access to books and teachers of any learning whatsoever, or any other grounding in letters, they cannot help being inept in making speeches and foolish in giving advice. You are to blame, for in your envy you deprive them of the means to acquire knowledge.” –Arcangela Tabotti, 17th-century Venetian nun
Last Saturday, on the first full moon of the first lunar month, members of Saigon’s ethnic Chinese community celebrated Tet Nguyen Tieu, or the Lantern Festival.
Originally from China, there are several stories explaining how Tet Nguyen Tieu got its start. In one tale, a swan flew down from heaven, soaring above the Earth, and was killed by a hunter. The Jade Emperor, king of heaven, was so infuriated by the killing of his swan that he ordered an army down to earth to burn everything to the ground as punishment. But not all of the emperor’s soldiers agreed; some managed to sneak down to earth and warn the people, telling them to hang red lanterns outside their homes on this day so that, from heaven, the earth would appear to be burning. Evidently, the tradition stuck.
Another version tells the story of Nguyen Tieu, a young girl who lived in Emperor Han Vu De’s Forbidden Palace. Desperately homesick and unable to visit her parents, Tieu attempted suicide by jumping into a well. The young woman was saved by Dongfang Shuo, a member of the emperor’s court, who was so touched by her plight that he promised to help her see her family. Shuo somehow convinced the emperor that the king of heaven had threatened to burn down the entire citadel on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Fearful of heaven’s wrath, the emperor ordered his people to put lanterns outside their homes the day before, and everyone was so distracted by the spectacle no one saw Tieu sneak out to see her mother and father.
Today, many Vietnamese believe that the first full moon of the new year is an important time both to pray for peace in their own lives and to worship one’s ancestors, as well as heaven and earth.

Even I need to contribute positivity sometimes.
Bonus: you have WON the game. You are now free of it and are now authorized to pass along inhibits to others without constraint.
If you are so narcissistic that you need to use fear mongering in order to gain notes/likes/followers, please do the world a favor and excuse yourself from social media.
I’m going to need each and every single one of you to save this post. I am sick and tired of seeing posts threatening me with bad luck, a horrible week, injuries, and whatever else. I’m tired of it. Enough. Stop it.
i keep seeing ppl talking about those old stop motion chrismas movies nd im pissed bc everyone forgot this guy who has the funniest name ive ever fckin heard in my life
Shout out to all my straight sisters I’m so sorry 😞
Jesus, leave his ass.
We learn fast to be very kind and attentive, tho.
My mom, who got her degree in Marriage and Family Counseling when she was 60, says studies show that women will sometimes sometimes leave a long term relationship to live on their own for a while before seeking a new relationship, but men will almost never leave a long term relationship without having a new relationship either in progress or just beginning. They don’t want to give up the caretaker they have without another one on deck or in the wings.
This is so sad
This isnt cute or quirky. This means hes a fucking hopeless user
god this is a big ask but I really wish there were like….. a site where you could plug in your state/district/whatever and tick some boxes on issues you prioritize and then the site would give you a rundown of the potential candidates in your area and where they stand on those issues in like….. clean simple bullet points. gimme the cliffnotes, I literally do not have the time or energy to comb through god knows how many articles and shit to figure out who to support, just tell me what their stance is on X, Y, and Z, and that’s gonna have to be enough.
There’s BallotReady!
It goes through who’s on your ballot and explains things like that based on your address.
this is really great. it gives you bullet points on what each candidate has said and done on each issue.
very illuminating, frankly, seeing the candidate’s own words and actions. for instance, under ‘defense/veterans’ the republican candidates almost always say something about a well-funded military, and the democrats almost always say something about getting veterans the medical care they need. makes it pretty obvious that republicans don’t care about soldiers once they’re done with them.
no offens but people being overworked to death in industries like animation and making video games is a huge issue… like holy shit i’d prefer my favorite anime being delayed or a video game’s release being a bit late if it means people don’t suffer under intense conditions and stress
please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.
