“YA books are brain rotting at any age” okay I know booktok is annoying but please get offline

For real though I may make jokes but YA is great and an absolutely valuable resource for tweens/teens and isn’t completely represented by the love triangle romances it’s become associated with (which tbh who cares if it does have that). YA includes Holes by Louis Sachar, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. And y'know I grew up reading a bunch of Sarah Dessen books, the Flowers in the Attic series, Thirteen Reasons Why, Twilight, Maximum Ride, etc etc and even though I probably wouldn’t recommend those books now, they nurtured a love of reading that followed me afterwards!!! I’m grateful that people eventually realized that there is a tumultuous period between childhood and adulthood and gave that period of life a space in literature

Hey warning to anyone who is psychotic and wants to watch the Barbie movie:

When barbie is in the real world and tells people she is barbie, people talking about her say she should be in an “insane asylum”, that she is a “nutjob” and then correct themselves and say something along the lines of “a reality challenged woman”. Basically she is perceived as being psychotic, and insulted for it.

Also throughout the entire film they throw around words like “crazy” and “insane”.

The movie also has fourth wall breaks where it’s talking about the actors and how you view them as you are watching.

The film talks of different realities (as in barbieland and the real world).

I didn’t see any warnings about the movie (these aren’t even spoilers, barbie entering the real world is in the trailers) and I had an awful time watching in theaters. Please be aware of your mental state before going watching the movie. If you can’t handle these themes, that’s okay, you don’t need to watch it, just because it’s a hot topic it doesn’t mean everyone needs to see it. Take care of yourself.

somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

OP, this is a genuinely genius method of tricking the human brain into beginning to understand the sort of scale that this looks like.

“Stop being funnier than me on my own post” is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like “hang on lemme look that up…yeah this is funny” and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let’s build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you’ve really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here’s the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction
