umm i need reassurance that my presence is wanted but i can’t ask for reassurance because that’s really Embarrassing and it wouldn’t feel genuine if i asked for it
gone are the days of saying “im gonna kms”. “you will see me on the news” is way more effective. it could be for many reasons. but you know i will be the culprit and it will be newsworthy
looks like october is…. octover

Sometimes, reading stuff about particle physics and quarks feels like reading about a magic system or smth. Anti-strange kaons? Charm? Up quark? Antimatter neutrino? Syncrotron? The God particle?? Abracadabra to you, too. Damn.
its not inexplicable to me. i could explic it.
Something similar that I've noticed: people being disgusted by feet so they can never be associated with having a feet fetish. People also like and even sexualise veiny hands but you will never catch anyone say : Ewww hands! Get those away from me! I think it's such a shame that we have associated being okay with feet to having a feet fetish. It's a body part goddamnit. If you have a partner you are going to love all of their body, their hands, neck and that includes feet. If you love someone in general you are going to appreciate all of them. Please don't sexualise everything.
In some cultures, it's perfectly normal for siblings to kiss each other and to shower together <- (of the same gender but it's not unheard of for siblings of different genders showering together also)
In asian culture, for example, a culture that I grew up under, it was normal to bathe together!!! But if you mention it to someone who is white. It's a shock, pure culture shock to the point they are HORRIFIED. They start running their mouth,
"omg! You were groomed!" , "That's so gross!" , "How could your parents allow that!?"
They start acting like you said you and your sibling were getting intimate when all you said was that you grew up showering together sometimes. Their brains are rotted with the incest porn genre, a genre they are so obsessed with that it always seems to be in the back of their minds. It annoys me.
I think about the time where someone talked about how in their culture they grew up kissing their siblings on the cheek, lips <- (little pecks), and their nose. And white people immediately flooded in and said it was incest. WHY?
Why does the idea of other cultures existing seem like such a foreign concept to you? Why do you need to label it as something it's not? It's exhausting, it's annoying trying to defend the way we grew up all because white people cannot handle it.

Each spring, my daughter returns from the underworld ice-cold and frost-hard. The only light in her is the cheap reflection of gold, shining against the shadow of death. I show her the sun again, but it’s hard for her to thaw— she freezes the new buds in the night many times before she finally lets them bloom.
She can’t bear, at first, to let the sun kiss her cheeks, knowing she must lose the spring again. But she learns, and she laughs, as the days lengthen and shorten.
And then my daughter returns to the darkness, and winter comes again.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
“Which spices go with which foods” lists are of limited value to me because, like, I have functioning taste buds. What I really need is a “spices that need to be added at the start of the cooking time in order to properly develop versus spices that need to be added in the last five minutes because extended heating fucks up the flavour profile” list – that shit is not intuitive.
self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?
