Oh, you know, everyday teenager problems: being betrothed to someone she's met one time and hates, three other countries trying to steal her throne, and her entire country being maybe definitely cursed. NBD.

Netflix won't let me watch TV upstairs without claiming I'm traveling bc it's on a different wifi band than the downstairs TV

5yo explains to me that plants need nutrients, but they don't get them from eating.
"You have to water the dirt so they can get nutritientsions from their roots. And then we can have rainbow flowers every day. But not at night. Plants sleep at night, that's called photosynscious"

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but at this point I'd just settle for stuff not trying to kill me anymore.

Good fucking lord the absolute SHOCK at the idea that a fat person might have like...a normal and even nice personality.

(Just a real tw for fatphobia on these screenshots! This review was clearly written by someone who doesn't see fat people as actual humans)

As long as you’re working against your brain, you’re prolonging your suffering.

All the medication, coaching, tips, routine, none of that is helpful if your goal is to behave as someone without ADHD.

Again, behaving neurotypical isn’t a realistic goal.

Interesting to note how many students regret going into education. Because the US has made the most noble profession completely inhospitable and even the most passionate people can't sustain it.

Our kids deserve better.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Analysis: Nearly 2 in 5 American college graduates have major regrets.

That is, they regret their major.

Almost half of humanities and arts majors regret their choice — and enrollment in those disciplines is shrinking rapidly. https://t.co/rwzh7tM5PA

What a quiet, powerful piece by @PaulCrenstorm in @SugarSugarSalt_ "We’ve just, in the way of men, fallen out of the language of love, and reverted to sayings that keep us from confessing what we feel."

That doesn't mean you are not an artist. It doesn't mean you're done, or failing. It means you need to rest and tend to other areas of your heart and mind for a minute. You'll be back. ❤️

[Moriah is the thing with feathers @TheInkdancer]

Friend, you are creative even when you aren't creating.
The idea of perpetual output & growth is unsustainable. To truly be your best creative self, you have to accept that there is an ebb and flow, and that sometimes you will struggle in one part or another of your art & life.

when people talk about how they can’t drink caffeine like 6+ hours before bed because they’d be so wired i always thought it was SO weird because i could drink it up until the minute i went to sleep and have no issues and i never felt *wired* and then i learned i have adhd

I realized today that I hadn't read a novel written by a man in several years.

Started reading The Dark Tower and remembered why.

If I see one more person say "the economy" when they mean "the stock market" I am actually going to lose it.

Stock prices are not a reflection of the economic reality that 95% of people experience.

I'm 87% sure that part of the reason the Spotify app collects your location data is so that if you listen to Hozier's As It Was too many times in a row they can call in a wellness check to your house.

So when you say I'm stubborn as a mule, all I hear is that I'm not letting you harm me by violating my boundaries ✌

[Moriah is the thing with feathers @TheInkdancer]

Today I learned that the reason horses were historically favored as work animals over mules is not because they are stronger or have more endurance--mules win out in both categories. It's because horses will do whatever their humans ask of them, even to their own detriment.

[Moriah is the thing with feathers @TheInkdancer]

Horses will literally let people work them to death. Mules won't do that. They know their limits, and they will stop where they stand to rest rather than let a human cross their boundaries.
