Due To Budget Cuts Preschool Will No Longer Teach About The Color Green

I grew up in a judgemental household, and have far too many memories of my mother saying "I just don't understand how/why someone would [insert common human behavior she didn't vibe with]." I heard it so often that my instinctive response to that attitude became--that sounds like a failure of imagination on your part. I may not share a person's preferences/habits/behaviors etc, but that doesn't mean I can't accept that such people exist, or exercise my emotional intelligence a bit to guess why humans might make some of the choices they do.

There is, however, one thing that consistently puzzles me about humanity, and that is how so many people seem to actively dislike spending time alone with themselves? I genuinely struggle to wrap my head around this.

Cush Jumbo delivers Hamlet’s soliloquy from Act 3, Scene 1

Hmmmm

A quick design I made for a shirt. Thought I might as well share it here

much ado about nothing it's still PEAK FICTION even after 400 years like Benedick and Beatrice can't stand each other so much that they can't even say "pass me the salt" without inserting some slander and then their friends one day wake up and think "what if we pair Benedick and Beatrice up, for fun, just to kill time" and so they make Benedick believe he is accidentally overhearing their conversation and it's all about how Beatrice secretly loves Benedick so much that she spends her nights crying screaming shitting throwing up and they think it may kill her so Benedick straight up say "so they're serious. Well, her love? It's required. Now I am gonna get a portrait of her".

How do you guys even DARE to say that you hate classics bc they're boring when Shakespearen plays walked so that modern romcoms could run

been thinking about appearances and stuff

ok, but does anyone else always have that incredibly exhausting feeling of having to somehow entertain or keep the people around you happy so that you yourself don't seem boring or uninteresting to them so that the mood doesn't even slightly begin to change and people turn away from you? or am i just insecure af lol

My biggest fear is that nobody will ever see me as a man and the people around me misgendering and deadnaming me (on accident but still…) even though I came out years ago at this point doesn’t help. I’m in my twenties and I feel like I’m missing out on so much because of that. I’m so afraid of meeting new people because I don’t want anyone to see me as a woman. I can’t medically transition yet so I know that inevitably everyone who looks at me probably just sees me as a masculine woman. I kinda want to die rn.
