when you tell a girl her outfit is really cute and she does a little pose thing then smiles, reblog if u agree
When you tell a girl her outfit is really cute and she immediately tells you where she got it
When you tell a girl her outfit is cute and she shoves her hands in previously unseen holes and squees with excitement, “It has pockets!”
When you tell a girl her outfit is cute, and she goes into a long story about the history behind it/who she got it from and why it is sentimental to her
When you tell a girl her outfit is she, and shes like ‘thanks, I stole it’
I love desire paths. There’s something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it’s location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we’re oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can’t design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way…especially if you’re superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there’s something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy…a desire path used for centuries will create a ‘holloway’
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
It’s really depressing how Labor Day has gone from “give laborers a day off” to “give white collar office workers and executives a day off but make retail laborers work so that executives can get a latte on their day off”
Nobody is making anyone work. If you don’t want to work on that day, don’t.
I used to think communication was the key until I realized comprehension is. You can communicate all you want with someone but if they don’t understand you, its silent chaos.
if you are one of those people who thinks everyone should just “quit all medication” throw yourself into the sun
me after finally getting medicated: wow i finally feel like i am seeing the world more clearly, my moods aren’t as extreme, and i am less of a danger to myself !!!
anti-med people: uwu but medication doesn’t work and you’re supporting big pharma soooooooo

Image Description: tweet from MsShaniqueLee says “Black Lives Matter even if they do resist arrest. Black Lives Matter even if they did commit a crime. Black Lives Matter even if they disrespect a cop. Black Lives do not matter conditionally. Black Lives Matter, period. All of them.
unfortunately you can be seen as both, by different people or by the same people at different times… including doctors
[ID: Venn Diagram of “Not Disabled Enough” and “Too Disabled” overlapping with a thin slice of “Right amount of disabled.” There’s points alongside ranging as a scale.
Not Disabled Enough:
Thrown off benefits
Dying after being deemed fit to work
Seen as scrounger
No suitable or accessible jobs
Right amount of disabled:
Inspiration porn
Too Disabled:
No ventilator if you catch Covid
Social care cuts
Independence thwarted
Seen as burden
“There’s always assisted dying”

society’s idea of a perfect disabled person is someone who is doing well in the current system. this ideal of a person is “strong” enough to overcome the “misfortunes” of disability, because misfortune requires no action on the viewer’s part. the perfect disabled narrative is one which does not ask them to make changes or even acknowledge a cruel system.
