Thank You For The Crabs!!!!! 🦀 Pretty Sure We've Been Mutuals For Nearly Ten Years. An Utter Delight

don't forget to boop today!

Seeing this post about a month ago made me order a giant atlas and a miniature address book! I spent an evening writing down all my important contacts and put the atlas in my car - and I've honestly never felt more secure. To be honest, I'd missed this! I have a lot of nostalgia around reading maps from an atlas and printing off directions from MapQuest, and flipping through my parents' address books when I was younger. I'm glad I did this. Thanks OP!

i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

It’s that month again folks! Happy February.

OH GOD NO NOT AGAIN

NEW YEAR NEW ME NEW PHIL COLLINS TOPPING MY CHARTS AGAIN

Oh neat! My off-brand Spotify Wrapped is here!

Wow, that's a lot of hours of music!

I'm sure I'm not about to get roasted by my own taste, right?

...right?

if you’re on tumblr and over the age of 24 it means the mental illness won

i think supernatural should end with d*stiel becoming canon but then immediately pulling a bury your gays. sorry i know homophobia isn’t funny but at the same time that would literally be so hilarious

this might be a hot take but i think we should still be required to wear masks on airplanes
