I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you wish you were interested in something (a hobby, a topic, a subject), then let me tell you... YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE INTERESTED IN IT. Just because you don't own a collection of books about something, don't know much about it, and haven't liked it until like literally this second, doesn't mean your interest isn't valid.
Interests aren't meant to be performances. You can like anything you want, and you can decide whether you are interested in something. Be free little cupcake.

I saw a post the other day where someone was saying they liked things in a "casual way" and I laughed so hard at that bc I don't know how to like things in a "casual way." Over the last decade plus, I've only ever liked things in a very obsessive I know way to damn much about this topic way !!! There was no casual way for me to like things like Wrestling, D&P, 1D, Sherlock and all those fantasy/historical series I've read I hoped one day would get a live action adaption only for me to complain about all the major plot/character changes they made. 🙃

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space* at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
*yes sorry i mean usage i posted this before bed :( i do not mean the hard drive is full aaaaghhhh

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
