The two ADHD moods:

- I can’t do it

- I can’t stop doing it

man i miss the freedom of 2013 tumblr. people used to make up stories about everything and anything. remember how popular fandom bloggers would say they saw an “aesthetic blogger” in public and they got into a fight? or that they had a substitute teacher with a sonic screwdriver get into witty banter with the op and confess love on the spot before running out of the classroom never to be seen again? like, can you imagine if any of this stuff happened irl? if someone ran up to me while i’m vibin in a starbucks and hissed “poetry blog” at me i’d be so completely decimated by the correct analysis that i would be thanos snapped into nothingness. nevermind the idea of showing up 15 minutes late to a class and the substitute teacher was apparently never employed by the school and in fact sprinted out of the building before getting caught. i love this shit. it’s so wonderfully fictive and so effortlessly self-indulgent i live for it unironically bc why cringe about it!! people love to imagine themselves in better situations, and that’s how creativity flourishes. i know you, reading this, have imagined yourself the romantic hero or the tragic savior or lottery winner or whatever else - at least once. and that’s really wonderful and beautiful and you should imagine these things. you are the romantic hero. i love you already. allons-y. 

There are clubs people can join to hang out and make their own coffins. New Zealand is home to at least a dozen coffin clubs, where elderly folks gather to build and decorate their own caskets. Participants say that, aside from saving money, the club also serves as a support group that brings people together and helps them face the inevitable. Source

Happy Indigenous people’s day! Give Native Americans their land back 🗣️

“there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. people so tired mutilated either by love or no love. people just are not good to each other one on one. the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor. we are afraid. our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. or he terror of one person aching in one place alone untouched unspoken to watering a plant.” - Charles Bukowski (born: 16 August 1920)

So This is happening….

If anyone else is doing it and wants to be buddies or accountability partners let me know. 

So important to be protected by each other ✨
