idk who needs to hear this but take your fucking pto
We’ve entered Q4 of 2025, folks! If your PTO doesn’t roll over, start planning how to use that shit!
PTO is considered a part of your total compensation package. Meaning it’s part of your salary. When you don’t take it, you’re leaving money on the table that your employers will happily take back.
more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell
I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.
the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.
sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.
it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.
This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than jist enjoying using and being in your body.
Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.
Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.
One of the best core workouts is the motion used when swinging but there's hardly anywhere that you can find swingsets designed for adults. Not porch swings or swing chairs or the like but proper swingsets designed with an adult's height and weight in mind that let you fly without risking either tipping over the swingset or snapping your ankle when the tip of your toe accidentally catches the ground.
psychosis needs to lose its negative connotation, its a thing that happens. you are far closer to psychotic episodes than you think and we need to all know how to deal with them properly
I always say that psychosis is a natural part of human experience or state of mind. And guess what, non psychotics get MAD when I say that. "No, its not natural or normal at all! Dont normalize it!" Guess what happens when you haven't slept in a few days? Psychosis. Guess what can happen when you're too stressed? Psychosis. Guess what can happen from physical conditions? Psychosis. Psychosis is the same type of normal that any other negative state of mind is. Someone experiencing depression due to circumstances? Normal. Someone dissociating during a stressful event? Normal. Psychosis isn't different. ANYONE can experience psychosis and it doesn't even have to be a disorder. Psychotic disorders are disorders due to the frequency and intensity of psychosis.
People need to stop demonizing normal human experiences
‘the protagonist should be endearing and relatable’ the protagonist should make the audience scream and start banging on the one-way glass of the fourth wall. the protagonist should burn their entire life down and make the world’s worst sandcastle from the ashes. if they aren’t the cause of at least 50% of their own problems what are we doing here
This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw
the horrifying ordeal of being asked not to eat nuts for an entire flight because you know there is a small child on the plane who will die if you do. too much to ask.
Other people's lives>>your pleasure
My 2 year old has a severe peanut allergy that caused him to go into anaphylactic shock the first time he ate peanut butter. It was the worst day of my life. "Managing his allergy" actually DOES include requesting that people do not eat his allergen near him for the length of a flight. That is one of the MULTIPLE precautions I take. I also make sure that I bring food for him that does not contain his allergen or have risk of cross contamination. I also wipe down the seats, arm rest, and tray table thoroughly before he sits down, I have oral antihistamines and his epipens an arm's length away from me at all times. But epipens and antihistamines are not 100% effective, and it is impossible to receive emergency medical treatment when you are stuck up in the air.
Nothing is stopping you from eating your nuts once you're on the ground, by the way.
Killed this ant that came in the kitchen and the next day it came right back but it was holding a needle. Killed it again and it came back the next day wearing a cape and then I noticed I had a giant HP bar labeled KITCHEN BEHEMOTH and I was like man cmon dont call me that
talking to preschoolers is awesome bc they have not fully differentiated stories into 'true stories' and 'imaginary stories' yet so you will tell them about something that happened you once (coyote came out of a bush right in front of you and got startled) and they will tell you about how one time their house was full of coyotes in every room 'including five in the garage' and they're not even like, aware i think of the idea that they are technically 'lying'. they are simply telling stories about coyotes bc its time to tell stories about coyotes.
One time my dad and I got into an argument cause he said it was unprofessional for a man to wear a skirt to work because a man would only want to wear women’s clothing if it was a sexual fetish and at the time I just thought it was stupid but in hindsight I think I learned something deeply personal about my dad
“I wouldn’t be caught dead in any kind of dress because dresses are for women and I’m a man so it would be perverted, the only reason a man would wear a dress would be if he was getting off on it” really is the most weirdly conservative way to admit you find crossdressing so intensely erotic that you cannot imagine a reality where it’s boring, huh
I have no idea if there’s any merit to this at all but now I can’t stop and it’s requiring my brain
“cleavage is slutty and suggestive” only if you think it is. Why are you giving boobs power over you like that
“crossdressing is erotic” Why? Does it turn you on? And if it does, why is that anyone else’s problem? Are sandals erotic? People with foot fetishes aren’t banning flip-flops
“same sex relationships are perverted” Even if they never fuck and just do taxes and shit? Why are you so fixated on gay people doing horny stuff. Why can’t you divide a category of people from porn

Am I late to the fucking game or does just about every single social taboo related to promiscuity boil down to “your insistence that it’s kinky is the only thing making it kinky instead of boring”?
Imagine being so pornbrained that you cannot conceive of a reality where a dude might want to hold hands with his husband or go to a nude beach or wear a cute summer dress to the farmers market without being insanely rock hard about it the entire goddamn time
The tags are gold too
controversial post and I’m sure the reactions are going to be atrocious but being a super submissive tradwife is actually a fetish for a lot of the women in the movement but they’re so repressed they’d rather align themselves with Christian nationalism and ‘conservative values’ than admit it turns them on to be dependent and treated as hyperfeminine and weak and fragile. this is especially true for the women who weren’t raised and groomed into Christian fundamentalism but randomly decided to align themselves with it later in life. my dad genuinely dated a woman like this who wanted a ‘strong male leader’ and ‘Christian family discipline’ and it was like, Jesus Christ get into BDSM and out of that mega church you joined.
you don’t have to bring god or law into being submissive and treated like a servant, that can just be your thing
