I Was Born In The Late Nineteen Hundreds

reblogging this beauty just because she’s neat ❤️🕷️🕸️

Reblogging because I’m a grown 40-something mom whose career is in nursing. whose special interest when I was 17 was marine biology, and it still is. Just a little reminder that there’s no shame if you didn’t make your special interest into your career. Find joy in it still if you can! Collect special interests and find joy.

i feel like this is very importantTM to say, you dont need to be an expert in your special interest

marine biology is my special interest. i suck at identifying fish. i can identify one fish but only because i spent ages fixating on it. i couldnt tell you the scientific name of anything else.

when i was in primary school most of my information came from the octonauts since i wasnt allowed the internet, it was still my special interest then even when i hardly knew anything.

having a special interest doesnt mean you immediately become amazing at whatever it is, and thats totally ok. its ok to forget things, to not know things, for other people to know more about the thing. thats part of the fun, theres so much about everything to learn and improve on.

in my personal case there are thousands of scientists who know more than me. i may know more than my friends, but im 17. there are scientists who study the ocean for a living and its perfectly reasonable for them to know more than me

the only thing that matters is that it gives you energy, that you enjoy doing it, that its special to you

looks can be deceiving

Yikes, what a shirt-bag!

Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…

I ain't a bald primate

That tongue does not relate

Man is done

The ape is dead

Lungs of the planet on a golden thread

I ain't debating

I'm a mushroom, ok

I spread like lava

Rise like bread

Currency of decay

Amongst my kin, I extend acidic salutations

Exhale the dust of seasons

Inhale the breath of civilisations

I grip with devil's fingers and stroke the green curtain

We, the thoughtful element

Dumb rock

Unthinking ocеan

Network of the wood

Tannin of the еvening

Synapse of the bush

I disappear amongst my kin

Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…

Okay, is this why “the sky was yellow and the sun was blue”?!?!

rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:

society really lost the war when dressing nice / slutty = “gay” “metrosexual” “is he 💅🏻”. we had decades of men wearing crop tops and short shorts without blinking an eye and now it’s ye ole pilgrim standards and talk of scandal if they show their knees

Absolutely nothing good comes from guilting, forcing, and shaming people into having kids. It’s only going to result in parents that resent and regret their kids. This is bad for kids.

Do you know why, increasingly with each generation, more kids grow up into adults who genuinely love children and want to advocate for them? It’s precisely a result of greater reproductive freedom for all people, better access to healthcare, education, safe public spaces, safe food/water/air. Which political party has been doing away with these? Hmmmmm…? Please, help me understand why there are undecided voters

Conservatives have destroyed their own hearts and minds. With no empathy or compassion, no appreciation of critical thinking or emotional intelligence, they left themselves at the mercy of petty, vile, loveless abusers.

Conception, pregnancy, and raising children need love and respect.

Keep MAGA misery and unhappiness away from children.

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!
