It is categorically impossible to enjoy being unconscious. Why is this so hard to understand?

(Okay, I know, I’m being uncharitable. I suppose it’s possible for people to enjoy having been unconscious or knowing that you will be unconscious. Just, why everyone?)

have you ever been listening to a song you’ve heard a zillion times and all of a sudden you go “…wait a minute

wait hang on oh my god this song is about [x]”

And nothing is ever quite the same again.

#I first heard Stevie Nicks’s ‘Think About It’ maybe eight years ago #have heard it a fair few times since then #I was listening to it this evening #and during the *second* repetition of the chorus #(‘well I know you’d like to come away/but baby you can’t come…’) #all of a sudden my brain pointed out to me that in ‘Edge of Seventeen’ #’come away’ refers to dying #which would mean this song is about suicide #specifically about trying to talk somebody out of suicide #it makes so much sense now #(her song ‘Docklands’ also suddenly started making sense a few months ago) #(it was weird) #music #oh look an original post

*watches person I blocked for kink-shaming make small talk with kink blogger*

#for a moment I thought it might be because of the person’s ‘moderate’ stance on kinks #except said stance is that it’s okay to *have* kinks as long as you never talk about them or consider them important to who you are #which rather seems to preclude kink bloggers #(*and* last night I ventured into the person’s blog archives looking for a poem about gender I saw a while back) #(the one written by a medieval Jew who would probably have considered themself a trans woman if their culture had had the concept) #(I promised my mother I would look for it) #(and of the blogs I was following at the time that were most likely to have reblogged it) #(one of them was them) #(I didn’t even *find* the damned thing) #(point being I have had too many reminders that this person exists for one day) #((also if you’ve read this far and know where to find that poem let me know)) #tag rambles #oh look an original post #vagueblogging #this post has been delayed by an unspecified amount of time for enhanced vagueness

(my Internet was out for most of the day, so it’s quite possible there are already posts on my dash along these lines that I just haven’t caught up with yet, but anyway)

Tumblr what are you thinking

I have already liked three of those four posts

(I was kind of hoping it would be all four so I could say “all of those posts”, but no, turns out I didn’t hit the like button on the Civ post. Still, three out of four ain’t good.)
