Using the fact that something’s “always been done” as a defense for doing it again/still is relying on a cyclical cause and effect argument that will always prove itself right.

You know whose intellect operates at that basic of a level? A toddler.

Grow up.

There comes a moment in every man’s life where he realizes his DMs are open.

Clarke?

Trevi fountain in the sunshine, but really it’s a portal of escape!

Work has been driving me nuts for months now. I feel like between it and the news lately, there’s no respite!

So here’s a pic from my trip to Italy last week where, for just a second, I thought fondly about the future

Fairy, fire, steel with a special mention to poison

The rapid decent I feel everything is on has me feeling like, “What’s the point” — to cope, I reclaim peace in stupid little milestones.

Folded all the laundry? Good boy have a treat! Baked bread for the week? Good boy have a rest! Otherwise, it’s all sad boy vibes!! 🫠

Busiest February ever and it’s just begun… 🫥

Shit’s been wild from all angles. Makes me want a vacation and by vacation I mean a coma… 😰

Who’d like to break the rules?

I know right… it’s a hate crime!

The only difference is it’s a bracket-style fight and at this point all your favorite picks are KO’ed. You’re just watching now because you paid $1M for your seat on Ticketmaster and in for a penny in for a pound.

Anyone else feel like a spectator in a slow moving cage match? Stadium lights, steep-slowing audience seats, tiny caged ring down in the pit.

On it! One thing though, does anyone have time to show me how? I want to make sure I’m doing it right.

Other than “terrible”, is there a culturally accepted name for this time of year? Definitely in a post-holiday slump that’s exaggerated by everyone and everything…

July Leo who can attest to the goodness of February Aquarians!! ✅

Happy New Year!! ✨🎉✨ in this house we obsess about reaching out to our inner child 🩷💚

I would like to live in a world where cutting in line, blocking passage ways, and having a general, remorseless lack of anyone else’s personal space is punishable by AT LEAST a prison sentence and fine….. 😰

(Yes, I am slightly agoraphobic)

💔

In order to identify a valid control, an early sample should be acquired… right?

As a scientist… I would feel comfortable with quantitative proof in order to validate

Went to a Wicked sing-along showing today and yes it still slaps, and yes I sang my life out with those strangers!! 💚🩷

Well not a podcast but for that period, even though they span much more, Ron Chernow’s bio of Grant & David Blight’s bio of Frederick Douglass are top notch of postbellum/Gilded Age US.

Podcasts: American History Tellers is great, but for world/ancient The Rest is History & Tides of History are 💯

I know it’s about as ubiquitous as can be for a 🙋🏻‍♂️🏳️‍🌈 to say his family relationship is “complicated”, but being home after visiting with mine is soooo gratifying!

To all those who were triggered, misunderstood, or mistreated this Christmas, enjoy the rest of the holidays — the real ones IMO!! 🎄✨

Meanwhile you look great doing it!

What an introduction!! As an aspiring history teacher, what era is your favorite?? I missed my calling as a historian, but couldn’t justify all that schooling to maybe never make enough to get by lol, so I settle for armchair historian listening to podcasts…

Steelers fans are the best fans in the world (I am legally obligated to say this according to the wild fangirl at this bar)

Merry Christmas 💛🖤

Me: wakes up early to catch an early flight.

Also me: tries to stay up late-ish so I don’t wake up too early again.

Also me: wakes up too early again.

Best list I’ve heard about all season!

Clinically, as a gay man, I have an inappropriate level of obsession with some of the *gulp* posts I see on here. 🥵

…I don’t need help, just thought everyone should know…

This really sucks.. I think we’re seeing again that people have been given tacit license to just be dicks again.

Beyond that, the “I’m going through something” defense ignores the fact that shitty things happening doesn’t excuse being shitty. My holiday wish is for people to be more self-aware ❤️
