What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

#other good ones are crocuses and lilacs #one time I was ill and depressed and my mum brought me a lil milk bottle full of fresh cut sweet peas from her garden 💖 #i like that theyre colourful and i like climbing plants and they smell amazing #posts brought to you by me going to the park on my lunch break just to see all the crocuses

On Discomfort and Morality

My father finds gay men uncomfortable.

He's told me before that it's like a knee-jerk for him. Something he doesn't consciously control. He sees two men behaving romantically, and his body reacts with mild discomfort.

In the 1960s, when he was in high school, most of the boys in his form thought he was gay on the simple fact that he wasn't homophobic. He wouldn't participate in insulting queer people, he didn't care if someone was gay, he wouldn't have a problem hanging out with gay people. So people thought he was gay. That's how prevalent homophobia was in his formative years.

When I was 10, my dad told me very seriously that Holmes and Watson were gay. That it was obvious from the literature and the time period that they were meant to be a gay couple. When I was 14 and I came out to my parents as bi, when my mum was upset my dad ripped into her for it. Told her that she was being stupid, that it was my life to live how I wanted to and that she needed to get over herself.

My dad formed my views on censorship: that being that it was completely ridiculous and thoroughly evil. He didn't believe in censorship of any kind. If I asked him a question about sex, he answered it honestly. When I was 12 and I asked him about homosexuality, still young and uncertain, he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. That it was just how some people were. That there was likely an evolutionary reason for it. And that for some people it was uncomfortable on an instinctual level.

He taught me that just because you're uncomfortable with something, doesn't make it wrong. He also taught me that most people don't understand this.

I see a lot of this on the internet as of the last few years. The anti shipping movement, the terf movement, the anti ace movement. It all stems from discomfort that people have crossed wires into believing means wrong. Really every -ism and -phobia out there stems from this same fundamental aspect of humanity.

The next time you see something and you automatically think it's disgusting, or wrong, or immoral, I invite you to ask yourself: is this actually wrong or does this just make me uncomfortable?

#shipping discourse #anti censorship #anti terf #my mum isn't homophobic #she was upset because she thought it meant i couldnt have children or a family #and this is something important to her #she was also not upset around me but to my dad in private

And lemme know your age (if you feel comfortable!), and when you got your first phone in the tags!

If these options are scuffed I'm sorry, I genuinely have no clue how many phones people are "supposed" to have had (hence the poll)

#polls #I'll go first: I'm 22 i got my first phone at 12 and im on my 3rd phone #never broken one but i left the last one on the feckin bus :( #it was a hand-me-down from me mum so it had a good life #lost me damn photos tho

📍The Valley of Muses, Greece, 25/02/2024

Bonus pics (me and my mum 😍😍):

The trip's main soundtrack:

🎵 I thought I would find the force from fighting

But if I win alone, I'm losing 🎵

(Tbh, I was very insecure to post these photos because I am barely wearing any makeup in them, but I figured that my brain being stupid)

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

#brought to you by my brothers reminding me I still owe them Christmas presents from last year #plus Mum making suggestions for some this year #embroidery #sewing #fiber crafts #crochet #knitting #crafts

something so funny about katy perry singing ‘just own the night like the fourth of july’ at the coronation concert. yes katy, let’s take back the night, declare independence from the monarchy and throw them in the harbour

#uk politics #my mum has got it on and it's making me wanna go throw up but also that was hilarious

I always underestimate how easy it can be to entertain a teenager. I have this preconception that small kids find everything fun even mundane stuff while teens are jaded and self-conscious and need elaborate or cool activities, but my teen cousins are visiting this week and when they arrived I was in the greenhouse having an issue with the filter in one of the tanks, so I asked them if they could catch all the fish from one tank and move them to the other tank, and they were delighted to be given little dip nets and sit on the edge of the tank to hunt fish for 20min. As I asked them to do it I was thinking, it’s like those duck-fishing fairground games from when they were toddlers, they’ll probably think it’s a bit cringe, and five minutes into it these jaded teenagers were like, hey it’s like duck fishing at the funfair when we were toddlers, I've missed it, it’s fun :D

#it's my mum who has preconceptions about teenagers actually and then her concerns rub off on me #i'm like [teen cousins] are visiting this week and she's all worried like what are you going to do with them so they're not bored? #are there any escape games in your region? #the answer is no. The only escape game around here is the one pampérigouste thinks she was born in #but i made them play go fish with real fish and they were enchanted #tomorrow we will go for a swim in the stream with poldine

Reg, being himself, a little scary and weird:

Sirius:

James:

Sirius: I'm stuck with him... you chose him

James: I don't know!!!

Reg smiles at him

James, lovesick: ...yeah, I do. I know

today is about celebrating the rebirth of a man who died for us. someone who gave his life for the good of the many.

and that's why today i'm watching the star trek ii-iv trilogy 🙏

#my mum: do you want to watch the easter story with us? #(no) #me: i already watched it??? #sorry if this offends anyone 😔

It’s so funny to me that Tara can basically end up as your shitty mother in law

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 epilogue #bg3 #tara the tressym #gale dekarios #art #comic #my tav #fun fact this was basically my mum and my nan dbncdnxjjxjx #nan once gave mum this horrible sequinned scarf for Christmas #and mum hated it so much she snuck it back into her luggage the night before she left #and then when nan sent me my Christmas present the scarf was in there too #so mum carted the thing with her to New Zealand next time they visited and left it in the pillowcase #and then it of course showed up again next Christmas #most cordial interaction they had

So, I just called my mum because I was finally, finally, at a point with the OFMD news where I started to cry (it was Rhys' fault), and calling my mum is what I do when I'm falling apart, and I kept apologising to her for full blown ugly sobbing in her ear about this fictional show because 'it's silly' and 'it's not important', and she very firmly told me to shut up and said 'but it's not silly because it's important to you, and you're allowed to be sad'. So I just wanted to share that, in case anyone needed to hear it.

#sometimes we want to kill each other but my mum is good egg #ofmd #our flag means death #also hello yes i'm thirty two on saturday and i call my mum when i'm sad bite me

man, all you zutara guys are way better at this shipping thing than me. i read through like ninety different metas about the symbolism of the colors associated between the two, the fact that the two of them are the emotional story arc of ATLA, and how their romance falls more into the canon themes of the franchise.....

and then i'm here like, he took lightning for her and she was aang's mom in an episode. i'm sold.

#in honor of atla live action coming out and making me revisit my atla brainrot again #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla zuko #katara #atla katara #zutara #zuko x katara #katara x zuko #no offense to kataang shippers but the fact that katara played aang's mum is enough for me to debate writing an oedipus AU of atla starring #these two #special mention to me signing up for the zk big bang with no ideas
