I will repeat an insight on age discourse that everyone at least somewhat "knows" but that you can only truly learn under the grinding tutelage of Time; you do not grow up, but only get older. You will change, but you will not "mature" in some linear fashion, there is no clean hierarchy of interests and desires to climb.
Which means that not only can a 40 year old have everything in common with a 25 year old, but they can in fact still want many of the things they wanted when they were 25, that a 25 year old may be more likely to possess. This is, in fact, normal; it will happen to you, maybe not in a way that correlates with dating but affects you all the same. You will be amazed at how little your vision of what 'maturity' should bring will correlate with reality.
almost every adult will eventually confide something along the lines of "when I was little I thought I would grow up into one of the adults I saw around me, it hasn't happened yet but I do my best to pretend that it has"
How am I only just learning this!?

If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭
This was the museum I went to often in my childhood. I'm no longer able to visit unless I visit family, but this place holds a special place in my heart.
As stated in the article, they hold around 7 million artifacts- many of which are orphaned fossils, with the museum taking in collections that otherwise would have been trashed.
Please consider buying a Paleozoic Pal, but I'll also leave a direct donation link as well.
THE GIANT EURYPTERID BODY PILLOW IS BACK IN STOCK
I JUST WENT INTO A FUGUE STATE AND BOUGHT ME A 16 INCH CUDDLE BUDDY WITH PLATED TEETH!! DUNKIE, MY BELOVED!!
Screeching aside, anyone who can afford to, go look through their shop! They got clothes, and cute gifts, and books and all kinds of other awesome stuff! Ye, the shipping sucks, but we need to keep our museums alive! (the good ones, not the British Museum of Thievery XP)
HE’S HERE! MY BIG BOY IS HERE!! (And yes he is my BIG boy despite only being 16 inches, you shush!)
He took nearly a month to get here, but that’s because of ALL THE ORDERS THEY’VE BEEN GETTING! OVER 1800 ORDERS! This is why I love the online community!!
Now if you don’t mind I’m going to tuck Duncan into my sweater and go work on the piles of stuff I still have to do 😅
For anyone curious what's happening with the PRI they're digging themselves out! An anonymous donor gave them $1 mn which they used to secure a stay on the forclosure for the rest of the year and they're approximately a third of the way to buying their way out of the mortgage.
i think a loving thing u can do for yourself before a solo trip is to have a line item in ur budget, as critical and untouchable as Plane Tickets and Lodging, called Stupid. this money cannot be used for anything other than bailing u out of stupid situations
the median political argument in this country is between a guy who thinks Trump is bad because he's a Russian agent and a guy who thinks Biden is bad because he pressed the "make inflation go up" button
so they voted for trump and then trump actually did press it
these dudes literally have no conception of the way anything in the world works. it honestly just shows how pampered and privileged they are that they think working in a factory means doing like artisan craftsmanship or something.
When I was young I had this book called people who work at night and as a little kid it was really comforting to know that there were people awake while I was asleep (especially bakers for some reason).

my wife is constantly mocking me for how lightly done I like my toast. “your hot bread is done,” she says to me. disgusting
I want everyone who’s unearthed this after 5 years to reblog it and say “lmao me” to know that getting divorced from this person was one of the best decisions of my life
