Whoever said that a life, in order to be meaningful, must be extraordinary did us a disservice. There is greatness in the mundane.

If there is one thing that I’ve learned after playing with the Celebrities Blind Rank filter on TikTok… it’s that I would only be truly✨EXCITED✨ to meet Adam Sandler and Keanu Reeves. Otherwise it’s just levels of disappointment.

Finally got to see the Barbie movie and WHY has @AmericaFerrera been solely tasked with hyping us all up about being strong women for literally my whole life?? God, I would literally move mountains for that queen.

UC Berkeley students have spent nearly 2 weeks occupying the Anthropology library in protest of its closure. https://t.co/ja6yY8pJkg

To think I have survived tubs of fruit soaked in Everclear prepared by teenagers AND a global pandemic only to have someone genuinely ask when the Lawrence Brothers became “a thing.” The 90s, bro, educate yourself!

PSA: I am only [relatively] universally liked because I’m a people pleaser. Take it from me - it is far better to be hated by people than to expend energy to make sure they ALL like you. This message is brought to you by #trauma

@wenisprinkles That’s my best friend!

Never thought I’d be living in a time where I would watch the actual brains behind the best story of our generation whining and crying about how trans folks aren’t real. “Wah, wah, wah, I’m so oppressed” cries the literal billionaire.

Roseanne has always been a comfort show for me and the first episode with Ziggy just came on and I am realizing why. This is what my life could have been if my dad had done what he was supposed to do.

If I’m being honest, I will never forgive EVERY ADULT from my childhood who saw what was happening to me and did nothing. I absolutely blame y’all for all of it.

I get wanting to protect young people from predatory relationships but acting like a person can only form a romantic connection with someone who is their exact age is laughable. This is the crotchety hill I will die on.

[Tracy @tracyphalange]

Watching the internet have a collective meltdown over the age gap between Chris Evans and his girlfriend is hilarious to me. These people are fully calling him a pedophile but, like, she’s a whole ass adult. Step outside y’all.

In Practical Magic, Ben falls for Gillian because she’s hot. In The Book of Magic it’s because she can do complex calculations in her mind. In PM, she lives with Jimmy and flaunts the rules but I’m TBoM she has always followed the rules and never lived with a man. 5/?

I love the Practical Magic series but as I listen to them all back to back I wonder where the continuity checkers were? Jet was sick in The Rules of Magic with pneumonia but in The Book of Magic she’s “never been sick a day in her life.” 1/?

I’ve been known to “WRONG!” a book to movie adaptation but why are we confusing our readers with these inconsistent snippets from book to book? C’mon, editors, do better. 4/?

@bryangreenberg These photos are giving me life.

@marriedTVpod I’m crying, stoopppp!!

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Urgency can become a compulsion when we've experienced childhood trauma. A feeling that we need to immediately respond, that we can never rest, or that we must "fix" every issue immediately. This is our helpless inner child trying to stay safe & to be needed.
