Glimmer
Someone let me know it was safe to cross the street when I couldn’t see past the car parked on my side of the street. We didn’t exchange any words, they just waved me on and went on their way once I started crossing

Met a nice woman on the train. She commented on how sleepy I was and asked if I had a long night. She wished me well and that I keep warm.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but
Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?
Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

I’ve decided I’m okay with the definition of “literally” being changed to its opposite but not “ironically” and here’s why
Y’all know what “literally” means. You know literal verses metaphorical. You know the rules of grammar so it’s your right to break them. But not enough of y’all know what “ironic” actually means to be having fun with it
Now, I’m not blaming Alanis Morissette but she either wrote a song while ill-informed (less likely) or used imagery that went over our collective heads like a fucking life vest

An unfriendly reminder! Do not push someone in a wheelchair unless they say it’s okay, especially if you don’t know them
Unless they are about to roll into on-coming traffic or off a cliff or into some kind of immediate and life-threatening danger, do not touch them or their chair without permission. If they look like they’re struggling and no one is with them, ask if they would like some help.
And nobody come in here with highly specific “what ifs” trying to paint yourself as an unsung hero. There’s obviously nuances within this rule but, again, this is tumblr, not a thesis. I am not going to cover every possible situation. Just please,
Ask first

"how do you know your friends don't secretly hate you/find you annoying" baby i've said things in discord servers that would make any other human being get a restraining order and move countries to never encounter my presence on this earth again, and they haven't even blocked me

When taking a poetry class it is extremely important that you remember that 99% of all poetry interpretation is subjective nonsense.
