tell me it’s not only me

My mom, 4 different bags of candy in her arms, spotting a ghost-shaped cookie cutter: oooh! Let’s make GHOST COOKIES

My brother, 17 years old but 49 in spirit: mom. You have so much stuff to do in preparation for the Halloween party tomorrow, we don’t have time for- mom. Mom p l e a s e-

Me finding a Giant Motherfucking Spider™️ in the bathroom and deliberately leaving it alone so that my wuss siblings might find it later and pay me to kill it for them

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

Throwback to the 2016 election when I fell asleep before results came in and upon waking up the next morning, blearily asked who won, blissfully unaware that everything was about to go to shit

being haunted by a person you’ve never met and never will, someone you’ll never actually be

but you’ve got people who love you, maybe it’s gonna be okay

Hell Fuckin Yes

Not to be political but I’m just so fucking angry right now

Surya Bonaly was a black Olympic figure skater for France in the 1990’s. During one of her routines, she did a backflip.

Yes, you heard me. A fucking backflip. On ICE.

No-one else has done that since.

Anyway, the judges were racist as hell, and didn’t like that one bit. A black woman showing up the competition? God forbid. So they told her the move didn’t count for her score because she didn’t land on one leg, like people are apparently supposed to in Olympic figure skating.

In response, this incredible woman, during her next routine, did another backflip and landed on one leg. What’s more, she finished the routine with her back to the judges, like a boss.

Predictably, the judges didn’t like that either. They said she shouldn’t do that anymore, since it was “too dangerous” and they didn’t want her encouraging others to try to do the same (nevermind that triple axels and shit are dangerous as fuck too).

But she kept doing it.

Again.

And again.

It was like her personal ‘fuck you’ to the judges every time she performed.

Because this woman is a badass.

Anyway, I’m just so mad that they refused to give her marks for fucking backflipping on ice. I’m mad that she only ever got silver. And I’m furious that I’d never heard of her till now.

idk man i think i'm not morally gray enough for some of these character conflicts

character is supposed to go to dinner with a high up nazi officer to make sure he drinks a beer that's going to be poisoned and she's all "oh, but he's such a nice guy. oh, i can imagine his mother weeping when her only son is dead. i don't know if i can do this."
