Bringing this back because I am the wine aunt among my siblings as well. 

Forget who’s the mom friend/dad friend/baby of the friendgroup. Who’s the wine aunt??? because I’m pretty sure I’m the wine aunt of my friendgroup and it feels like an underrated art at this point

#also the most likely to commit some petty crime and get away with it #I'm the one who teaches them adulting but in an exasperated way #like oh crap I hate that I have morals anyways here's how you get a drivers license

a typical western bar scene except one group in the corner playing cards has a raccoon sitting at the table. And it’s just...playing cards with the rest of them. And everyone’s like “oh that’s just Merlin, we let him stay as long as he doesn’t cheat” and for some reason that raccoon always wins???

#half convinced that is the wizard Merlin in disguise

They put me in a cage but I am a plant and I grew around the bars.

They took the cage away but I am a plant and my branches remember the shape of bars long after I have been set free.

#someday the cage will be filled and overgrown #and I will reach beyond the bars to the sun

It makes sense to get up early enough on a day off to watch the sunrise and drink mint tea with honey only to go back inside and burrow into your (still warm) sheets and fully appreciate the fact that you have hours left to sleep if you so desire and sunlight waiting for you when you’re ready to face the day. 

It makes sense to wake up early on a day off to fully appreciate not getting up early to go to work.

#its even better if your cat joins you #then go eat breakfast at a local cafe

you can be toxic just make sure no one takes you seriously not even urself then its called sarcasm and its funny

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

there I go, chasing the yellow light

today i overheard a girl say "no, f*ck that. i will be lovely to everyone. maybe some people will remember they have a heart."

#yeah its from a random internet poem #idk if anyone gets it cuz I think I quoted it wrong

My cat is a croissant 

I was going to post something intelligent sounding to try to get notes but then I saw my cat. on the floor. and they are a croissant.

#this is for all of you out there who also have croissant cats give your croissant cat a kiss on the nose for me

dont reblog to be the ignorer

reblog to show people that you’re usually the ignorer but so proud of it that you have to stop your ignoring for a sec to show it off

love ignoring things ‘have you seen this terrible show’ no im the ignorer ‘can you believe what that celebrity tweeted yesterday’ i am the ignorer

[all-the-leaves-are-brown]

this is how I found out avocados aren’t terrible

Things that are fun and sexy and 10/10 recommended way of growing up is feeding your inner child but also revisting things you hated as a child, you don't have to like them, but sometimes you end up unexpectedly liking it. Even if you come to the conclusion that yeah it sucks, you're probably operating with more info about why you don't like it compared to childhood stubbornness (which is valid, but it's nice to know the why sometimes)

Also listen to more music in other languages, and music that is charmingly terrible

And this one I should take my own advice on, but if you're living in pain you deserve to seek ways of relieving that pain, whether it's trying to find the cause, using ice/hot pads, taking pain meds, you deserve to live a comfortable life

just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.

Also! this is a random thread but! It reminded me! 

One time in the first day of 5th grade my teacher showed us a special pad of paper he got from Thailand that was made from the fibers in elephant poop and one of the boys wanted to eat some so they let him

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

#Im pretty sure they said it tasted like glue #said classmate lived to become even more annoying and chaotic dont worry theyre completely fine

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

go pee instead of staring at your phone. We’re not catholic here

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

There are too many people that are cynical and hate the world on this site. Like plz I would like to make you a homemade soup would you like some soup
