Woodsywander - Figuring Out Adulthood

I wish that I could tell the peope who used to own my stuff how much I love it. I bought someone's mother's pottery at an estate sale and I wish they could know the joy those items bring me. I wish someone knew how much I love and use the quilt they donated to the thrift store. That their teacup collection is being put to good use. I wish I could let everyone know the impact they've had by doing tiny things like donating knick-knacks that make me happy

14 year old me thought I would be dead or homeless right now. She would be disgusted that I'm still living in the US (and she'd be right)

I'm going to *remembers suicide is often not a desire for death itself but rather an attempt to radically change one's life because the current state of being has become unbearable but the person can't think of any way to change it other than death* kill myself

Ok I am once again liveblogging the Word of the Year vote

• For informal word of the year, multiple people have gone up to the mic announcing themself as “team rawdog”

• One respected professor threw his support behind “W”, saying (I’m paraphrasing) “double the u, double the pleasure”

• In lieu of an institution, one person announced themself as a “tumblr shitposter”. That person? Was me.

"Your car's extended warranty is --"

My car is older than me dude

I love scam calls that are easily verifiably false. “Your mortgage is about to default.” Cool 👍 I don’t have one of those

So glad I don't live in Utah anymore, but I'm proud of SLC for fighting back (love Erin Mendenhall).
