We’re all just silver-faced War Boys screaming “WITNESS ME!” while we charge each day into the certain annihilation of everyday life as a human

Sinus pressure so throbbingly intense the exploding heads on The Boys are starting to look like an appealing treatment option for relief

Unpopular opinion but I hate trying to sleep during a thunderstorm with the wind and rain lashing the windows and the thunder cracking, and I do not understand/will not listen to arguments for why it’s supposedly relaxing. I always wake up sore from tensing my body all night.

Your chances of being able bodied your entire life are slim to none. It is always in your best interest to advocate for a more accessible world.

One summer my steady casual hookup told me his biggest crush was Lil Debbie and at first I was like wtf and then I got strangely mesmerized and starting having sex dreams about her and slowly drifted away from him… what a time.

Am I losing my edge or were this year’s Met Gala outfits pretty much all…really good?

New Kacey Musgraves album is so gooooood. Her best songwriting since Golden Hour. Good Kacey is meant to be listened to alone or with other girls on a casual sunny day spent in/by any form of Texas water: river, pool, lake, gulf beach, nothing fancy, no pretense, prob stoned.

If they’re gonna just throw billions of dollars at music biopics the time has come for the Our Band Could Be Your Life prestige anthology series

Imagine not thinking humans were born to party when the inside of our cells look like this

[Complex @Complex]

We really got a whole universe inside of us 🧬

This reconstruction turns molecular data into a 3D scene using X-ray crystallography & electron microscopy. With light & transparency, it feels like you’re looking inside the cell, not at it. It works because it’s based on real data, making complex processes easier to see and understand.

Also Shakering seems like an incredible workout. Like I would take that class at the Y.

@bearsurprise That is fucked.

The cousins my mom pretty much mutually raised with my aunt, who were basically extra siblings to me, who she loved and supported like they were her own kids — thy didn’t come to her memorial service. I’ll never get over that.

Mom nostalgia tax

[fluttershy @hwrtyed]

feeling really really out of control. i bet picking at my skin will help. i definitely won’t regret this

[Kayleigh Hughes @kayleighqueue]

My siblings and I at the chaotic memorial for my mom/celebration of life/midwestern backyard party during interrogations by distant relatives and family friends who barely or never at all showed up for my mom when she was dying

[Kayleigh Hughes @kayleighqueue]

Like, Shark Week and Dead Mom Week have overlapped, what do you want from me?

[Kayleigh Hughes @kayleighqueue]

My dad scheduled both my mom’s memorial events during my period — not his fault, to be clear, he just made them a month apart — and he and my brother and sister are over here prodding me like “why are you in such a bad mood, why are you so tired?” 😂😫

I’ve always enjoyed flying. Today, I’m flying with my family. Now I understand why people hate flying.
