hey! are you doomscrolling?

Small efforts can still have big impacts. Remember how good it feels to eat something when you're really hungry? The power of someone's encouragement? Or a compliment from a stranger?

There are lots of things you can do to help yourself and other people. Keep going.

Often.

When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.

Fantastic news!

There are a limited number of times one can be told "no you didn't really cook dinner" because you didn't grind the flour for the noodles and pick the sauce tomatoes off the vine before going "you're right, I didn't cook, I don't cook, I'll just be over here assembling & heating edible items" *but*🧵

Done! Fingers crossed. <3

The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.

Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.

I'm so glad to hear this. *hugs*

intentional compensation for eating is one of the most common normatively-disordered behaviours I see people engage in

we should probably talk about that

Threads like this are a great hat tip to how Lovecraft's elder gods didn't drive you insane, they drove you so sane you could no longer ignore the massive inconsistencies and lies which we have to tell ourselves just to get through the day as a functioning social creature.

A widely different PSA.

My late father taught me many things but this was one:

It's good to eat ice cream in the summer because it cools you off.
It's good to eat ice cream in the winter because it doesn't melt so fast.
It's good to eat ice cream in the spring and fall because the lines are shorter.
