I Wanted To Meme Before The Big Day.

All amazing points and so important to take in. I think I have done a couple of these, but not habitually or intensely. But it’s good awareness for me.

I don't usually take good care of myself but when I have a shit day i take extra care of myself.

Like fuck 'em

it's skincare time and i'm gonna feel good

Can i say something problematique for terminally online millenials and people born after that point: I think the seeming lack of ability or willingness to call one another and chat on the phone with friends unprompted or out of the blue contributes to whatever hellish loneliness everyone is talking about feeling these days. Say what you want about boomers and old people but those guys mostly knew how to keep in touch with each other. Idk man call a bitch today

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

i also think an issue w atheism discourse is that ppl have a tendency to frame 'atheist' as the opposite of 'religious' rather than as the opposite of 'theist'.

bcos like:

you can be religious and an atheist. not all religious mandate or require belief in god.

and you can be non-religious and a theist. many people don't consider themselves affiliated with any religion but do believe in god.

you can be spiritual and an atheist. it means 'does not believe in god'; someone who e.g. wholeheartedly believes in ghosts can still be an atheist.

been thinking about this bcos of that post the other day re atheism and death and it's like no actually you can be an atheist and believe in life after death and you can believe in god and also think there's no afterlife. there's myriad ways to be!

What if I taught myself to tablet weave? I've never woven before but I bet I could just... Do it. Will report back.
