I can't even describe this hot mess of a blog anymore so you might wanna just scroll down some to see the sorts of stuff I post! Formerly moriens-der-lyset.
Mongolians are cool because they’ve merged their traditional and modern ways of life so rather than having poverty due to losing all their important skills they just live in their yurts with their cows and 827474874mbs internet
sure their GDP in dollars is low but when you can survive like your anscestors did it doesn’t mean anything, nothing wrong with adding a motorcycle and wifi into the mix
Everyone should live like their ancestors did 1000 years ago but with the addition of wifi tbh
Adapt. Survive.
this is the single most inspiring piece of information I have yet to come across in all my moments in this world
i’ve been vaguely formulating words for a post for months about the “glowup” trend specifically when someone uses a photo from like age 10 or 13 and then a photo now of them as an adult and everyone is like “there is hope!!!!”
bc the subtle (even if unintentional) message that it’s possible to Be ugly at age 10 and that we should’ve somehow been what??hotter?? more attractive, as literal children, is EXTREMELY disturbing and definitely part of why we’re seeing elementary and middle schoolers doing makeup and wearing clothes to present themselves as adults on social media like instagram.
everyone shares those “me at 14 vs. 14 year olds now” memes with a modern 14 yr old perfectly contoured with puckered lips but nobody considers that by sharing photos of ourselves as children and suggesting that we were ugly and lame and embarrassing, we’re teaching kids who are that age now that they should AVOID looking their age.
and then today I saw a glowup post that literally featured a photo of a 20 year old now and a photo of them as an Actual Toddler and I realize maybe I just don’t even HAVE the words
stop saying you were “ugly as a kid” where kids can hear you. kids can’t be ugly, because no one should be holding them to any standard that judges them by their looks! and people will say “okay, but be honest with yourself, some kids just are prettier than others.”
No! Some kids are considered “prettier” than others based ona set of made-up standards set by adults!
No child should ever be viewed through the lens of “attractive” or “not attractive,” because they’re children, and when you refer to your childhood self as ugly or lame or embarrassing, the children around you look for the features you’re referring to in themselves and try to avoid/erase them. And if they can’t, they just settle for hating that part of themselves.
It isn’t about you anymore. The children are listening. They’re watching. Be mindful.
how is it that steven grew into someone so much more admirable and stronger than his mother, into much more of a genuine and true and noble leader, and much more intelligent and empathetic and mature? how is it that he’s already become something and someone much bigger than the image he was trying to live up to in the first place? he’s come so far. what an incredible kid.
spiderman is so fucking funny dude saves like an entire country and then he goes home at the end of the day and opens his fridge and hes got like 1 egg and a half empty can of arizona tea no matter how old he is or what comic hes from thats just how peter parker lives
