in case anyone else needs to hear this it’s ok to be more serious. i don’t just mean ‘it’s ok to be serious sometimes’ i mean in general. not everyone has to be funny. it doesn’t have to mean you’re sad or unlikeable. you can just be serious and genuine most of the time and that’s great. i personally think that we’re too focused on ‘funny’ as the primary carrier of likeability right now. i often feel starved for serious conversation, for serious spaces, for a feeling of gravity. you don’t have make good jokes to give people a good time. i say, goof only as the spirit moves you, & don’t worry about it. 

the worst takes you'll ever read always start like this

being a 20 something soviet union lover must be hard. on a loosing streak since before you were born

all this talk of people who like winter are sickos no actually people who like summer are insane Well i think the whole beautiful world is worth loving so jot that down

Do not quit alcohol cold turkey

Do not suddenly stop drinking alcohol as a new years resolution if you have been consistently using alcohol most days

Your body gets used to the presence of the alcohol as a sedative in your system

Suddenly removing the sedative you are chemically accustomed to is like suddenly removing the wall you are leaning on - you will topple over

You brain electricity gets overexcited

This causes seizures

This causes sudden onset dementia (Wernicke's encephalopathy)

This causes brain damage

If you use alcohol often (even in moderate amounts)

Or in large amounts

Or you have ever noticed you get shakey tremors and anxious when you stop drinking

Then your body is chemically dependant and you need to be very careful coming off alcohol otherwise you will cause brain damage

Slowly wean down the amount you drink over days or weeks

Talk to a doctor about your goals to quit and ask about support options

Medically supported withdrawal is a lot safer

If alcohol withdrawal goes badly there is a 15% chance it will kill you.

Do not go this alone

You deserve to be safe

Please reblog this or other similar posts and talk about it with people around you

Support your friends to be safe

im on a quest to find a science fiction book i saw years ago. on the cover was a green centaur man & he had tiny green centaur men instead of hands. it was painted in that classic 60s psychedelic sci-fi book cover style that may or may not have had anything to do with the actual contents of the book

this is all the information i have & im not 100% sure it wasnt a dream. who is brave enough to help me find this book

Could it be this?

OH MY GOD

hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right

It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!

It’s the best painting that exists

I don’t know about you, but I really want to know what’s written on there - wait, I found a higher res image, can anyone translate this?

also it’s kind of an amazing little vignette

Hahahaa

Okay it says “who knows my arse from behind” and I will never recover from this

OKAY— so i LOVE this painting, it’s in the St. Louis Art Museum, and on a tour i found out the story. it’s not a naked dude, at all. It’s actually a smaller depiction of her, she’s a sex worker! She’s showing off her advertising for her services. It’s a really cool historical example of sex work, and a gorgeous painting to see in person.

So that grin is her going:

“That’s me!!”

everyone on replies is terrified of this fact but i just think it's so sweet and heartwarming. she's holding our hand and leading us somewhere secret and we're both giggling like kids. i love her

Technically towards the black hole in the middle of the milky way but the sun'll be dead by then and we gona have a solar system to get there

No???? We don't move towards the black hole, we are orbiting the center of the galaxy, and there is a black hole there. we are not fucking going towards the black hole. The black hole has NEGLIGIBLE effect on the solar system, it's only a mass of about 4 million solar masses, and it's smaller than the orbit of Mercury. The galaxy itself is 1.5 TRILLION solar masses. We are not going toward the black hole jfc

Yea that didnt sound as cool tho and i enjoy spreading disinformation

You know what, I can respect it
