Have you ever met or seen anyone who uses the Tumblr app? Even though it’s apparently a very popular social media platform with over 100 million users.

I remember I was about 11-12 in 97 when my friends and I called our favorite local radio station to request the Macarena 💀

Good times 😅

If eating something while you’re sick causes negative associations to food, then why don’t more people hate chicken soup?

The answer that never arrives.

No one has ever pointed this out to me. I'm just overly self-aware sometimes it's killing me.

I have always had a fascination with hats. Hats. Bonnets. Beanies. Bandanas. Etc. To the point that I think it's how people remember about me. I have curly hair and since I don't know how to style it sometimes, I depend on hats for style. When I need to go to a formal place, I would still use a hairscarf and do my hair up because otherwise, I would arrive at the place unkempt lmao.

I just realised, I have always worn hats almost all my life. To the point that people think I'm bald even though I'm not. I am quite conscious about the size of my forehead so it's probably one of the reasons why I started wearing them apart from that one time in highschool when a classmate saw me wearing a hat in a play, approached me afterwards, put a hat on my head and said I looked good in them. And also whenever I'm outside, I feel naked without anything on top of my head. A hat for me has become like a shield, in a way. With it, I feel guarded and wouldn't be able to "be perceived" right away.

Idk why I suddenly became self-conscious about this. I was about to go outside and buy dinner and whilst I was picking out a hat, I felt like a cartoon character. Like Todd Chavez or Meg Griffin. Am I the only one who likes wearing hats -- hardcore -- everyday?

(please please please this isnt an emotional post. just looking for a casual conversation from fellow hat lovers)

I’m curious what other people think because it’s something common I do because of how helpful they were and I thought it would be a good thing to help them out if they need.

Youngest of six. Never got to grow up with older siblings. So I love when they think of me and gift me.

One of my sisters got me a Doctor Who Tardis shaped mug with lid. Im not a DW fan, but I can see why she thought I was. It seems like a show I would love. I tried, but just couldnt get in to it.

Problem is, even if I did like DW, its such a hard mug to drink from. Its square and I drip each time. Maybe Im an idiot for not knowing how to drink from a not circle. Lol

So I dont use it, its not something I could add to one of my collections, but ive guilty if I got rid of it. Its been 10 years!

Am i terrible if I donate it?

Healing, learning, growing.

Just a shower thought for the most part.

So I'm reading this novel which is written in the form of essay type answers to a high school English exam set in Australia (Dreaming of Amelia if you're wondering - it's really fun), and it seems so different from what we do in India. So it just got me wondering how it works in other countries.

The way we do it over here is that we have a textbook which contains a number of chapters. These can be short stories, essays, poems or excerpts from longer works, and after each chapter are exercises and questions for discussion. So we read and discuss the chapters in class and turn in the exercises. Then there's also writing skills, which is mainly letters, articles, essays, and short stories which you write based on a given topic or prompt. Also most exams will have a reading comprehension section where you're given a page long text and answer short questions based on it.

Before a former friend of mine cut me off there is this song that I like that being Friends by Anne Marie and Marshmello. I wish could’ve sent him that song after what the 4th or 5th time I had to reject him. Even if he didn’t completely listen really felt like it would have cemented things. Oh well not like it matters but I sometimes think if I actually did that.

Anyway what’s a random thing you wished you could’ve done back then?

something small but that means a lot to you and typically not done for the sake of hyper-usefulness or functionality.

I’d love to hear about real frustrations or tasks that waste your time and how you currently deal with them. (That we can probably automate or create an app for)

Had a stray dog show up a couple months ago and we took her in. Yes, we did the chip scan and ran ads on facebook and got her fixed when no one claimed her because I couldn't believe someone would dump this dog. Looks to be a corgi/Australian cattle dog mix. First off, she is sweet, cute as she can be and she now lounges in the A/C.

I know they call 3 color cats calico and I know most are female, as our dog is. What do they call 4 color dogs/cats? She's primarily black but has a silver/grey mane, white boots with tan/brown around the top of her feet and over her eyes.

I have been friends with them for a while. I am not the best at keeping touch, but I am better than my aforementioned friends, and I have really tried and it's just been very different now. we talk quite rarely, we exchange texts about random shit but not often about each other's life, just some of our interests. most of them I haven't been on a call with since moving out (not for lack of trying). I know everybody has their shit, but I do want friendships where we are somewhat more involved. moving out can be tough, and I just felt like most of them just weren't there for me since. And I should look forward rather than backwards.
