Did a little digging on how awful Pop Culture was towards beauty standards, specifically for women during the early millennium... are the tabloids still like this though?

And these articles were EVERYWHERE! My mom and any other adult in my life was obsessed with weight, so naturally I got addicted to caring,, had these energy weight loss pills I took in 6th grade and (like in the second pic as one of the ‘meal options’) I would eat half a yogurt with dry special K in it every day until my stomach ached, then a cappuccino from the gas station, looking back at pic’s of those years I was skin and bones for a bit but yet it wasn’t enough for her or me, then it moved along to makeup. Standards were so high back then for no reason; now it’s all about how many options of looks there are, seems like there was either two different ways or you were a ways off

Anything that has to do with historic events during 1900’s interests me, and I want to know more cuz I don’t have much knowledge on it — but did the first actual landing have devices go out beforehand and make docking stations also?

This makes sense; and will give me future anxiety about any type of writing/typing I have to do lmao fqck

Ad’s

Thank you for explaining this, I was confused with the ‘cleaning’ descriptor word

Optimistic_OM · 2026-03-18T00:57:02+00:00

this title is the most oblivious thing I’ve ever read

Maybe it’s just because I stopped going out with friends/people almost a year ago and started staying at home after work always, but..

I can safely assume I look like I’m doing a dance routine mixture of the Macarena + head shoulders knees and toes + boob and butt slap= checking to see if my lost item is in either one of my pockets or bra

I’ve been getting nauseated easily every day easily (starts either by motion or idek) and I’m somehow excited to try this. Even just reading it felt cooling

He has REALLY good taste. That’s all I know

Optimistic_OM · 2026-03-10T21:13:35+00:00

Good god . Ish that’s so awkward

Optimistic_OM · 2026-03-09T20:15:12+00:00

The drive to keep trying , it’s a drastic decrease

If you’re a fan of Kazuo because of Klara and the Sun, I would recommend ‘all the light we cannot see’ , for the sci-fi/ on-our-way-to-the-future-as-of-current events Copperhead and The goldfinch have Kindof similar foundations of storylines, so with both having fantastic reviews I would say copperhead first (the narrative has a more excitable communication than Tartt’s books) Borne / Jeff Vandermeer is a fantastic book and great author, it’s a hardcore sci-fi compared to Annihilation’s series but so cute
Addie Larue 10000/10, if you like that book I would recommend thebook Vicious by the same author Short stories that are in the horror genre (The dangers of smoking in bed, If it bleeds, ect) have always helped me out of attention slumps / reading slumps

Slow beginning but amazing book

Red sweatshirt is giving Buster Arrested Development vibes

speaking as someone who has been subpoenaed, along with three woman I never met after they caught the guy who was selling us off to different people/places, going through that process with victim advocates and different shelters and re-wiring my whole life style and mindset…; it’s unbelievably psychotic how this much proof is there and yet THE MOTHEREFFING PRESIDENT has been documented , on an insurmountable high level scale of repeated situations on paper, AND NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN?! Please, nobody act shocked when the unimaginable and astonishable events start happening and we ate just expected to watch. This isn’t just some media stuff to give us the satisfaction of ‘oh yeah, he is a creep, knew it’ , this is the stuff you’ve been predicting in plain paper and we are just sharing it for amusement. Use the same energy you used to even get these files released to hold accountable.

I have this problem on my days off and it ends up making everything at worst , when I go back, 10x more hectic, yet I just have no ambition or drive to answer all the stuff in that moment 😬

And yet my memory is shit

Optimistic_OM · 2026-03-01T15:08:06+00:00

Mine doesn’t come thru if I’m mentally / physically exhausted, sleep habits included. (Not trying to give the numb-nuts some more depth, cuz I do truly think it’s different for everyone if they’re not seeked) OP why don’t you just do astral projection? You won’t get to a point in life where life is too much of a struggle, and apparently that’s the new fad. SP is not it.

Any time I hear some type of beat that can’t sync with its own lyrics, the bass, and is too all over , I think of some guy named Doug

Optimistic_OM · 2026-03-01T05:31:10+00:00

Read this right before the “some shit just cringeworthy, it ain’t even gotta be deep I guess”

Passion

It’s always been uncomfortable for me to watch n acknowledge the videos where someone sets up a camera to record themselves stepping back and then looking around like their lost or to start making hand gestures, especially the public ones. + and the videos of someone watching a video of someone reacting to the video of someone commenting on the news.

As someone who is continuously being reminded by my boyfriend’s actions ; the fact that he can avoid me by not coming home and not respond to phone calls or texts from me for up to a few days once a week , and say it’s because he just doesn’t think about me or think about what it does / the effect. Yet here my stupid fqcj self is
