The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.
will not be posting for a while, just found out new hozier lyrics dropped and i need time to squeal out of excitement.
i love this.
Loving someone to the point of idiocy, where all rational thought goes out the window when you see them. Because you know that even if you know nothing except that you love them, that's enough.
Reduces stress on the water collection systems, especially during storms!
Stops street flooding!!
Filters contaminants so your groundwater isn't as polluted!
Creates little pockets of life in the city where native flora and fauna can flourish!
Costs almost nothing to build and maintain (bc it's self sustaining)!
LOOKS GORGEOUS!!! TAKE A GANDER AT THESE BAD BOIS!!
So ya boi went off today
- those friendship bracelets made of colorful yarn (do you younglings still have those? I’ve had at least one on 24/7 for several years)
- filming yourself and your friends while doing stupid stuff and thinking it’s the most hilarious thing in the world (and not posting it anywhere)
- and making elaborate choreographies/singing numbers
- boysbands… (for me it was 1D… can’t escape it)
- everyone in the gang having their boy from the band (and calling them your husbands)
- the fact that teen girls can and will run a succesfull buisness if they want to (universal to all generations)
- and that no teacher ever will find out (we had a whole underground pokemon cards trading system)
- PERIODS
- Lots of plastic jewelry, headbands, hair clips and big colorful earings
- Questionable and a little cringe fashion with lots of colorful makeup and accessories (not universal sadly - can we go back to that plz? Allow teens to be teens and to discover new ways of dressing up and being a little too mismatched and cringe but not caring and not asking them to look like adults and to be attractive. Plz let teens be teens and stop sexualizing them. I don’t want to see 13 years old dressed like 19 years old anymore)
- the vampire/werewolf phase (I was team Jacob)
- freaking tamagotchis (although it was more popular with the generation before me)
- not just for girls but having braces (do not miss those)
- that one cd Miriam copied for Mei - with the drawings made with a sharpie and everything (absolutely not legally made I can assure you - my dad was always making me copies of movies on blank cds like that; simpler times)
- having crushes. Talking about crushes. Comparing crushes. Having a new crush every week or so. Judging other people’s crush. Crushes.
- and drawing/writting cringy/horny/romantic things in notebooks (yes it’s true)
- mothers being cringe in public (at least from your point of view) (universal but to different degrees; tho I hope no mom ever goes to the extent Ming went)
- so. Many. Emotions. All the time. (And every little mishap feeling like the end of the world)
- your friends becoming the center of your world because talking to your parents feels like a reboot of the tower of babel
That’s all I can think of for now but I’m 100% sure I missed some (also I know like 50% of those applies to all generations and not just the early 2000s but what can I say I got out of control)
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a sword
my natural time that my body goes to sleep is around 1 to 2 am and this affects my day to day life a lot.
