the number one question ive been asking myself lately is “whose standards am i going by?”

whose standards dictate that i cant make something easy to eat for breakfast? whose standards are telling me i have to suffer instead of asking for help in making an appointment? whose standards say i should be ashamed of my interests, the harmless habits, the little quirks that make me myself?

getting into the habit of asking myself this critically has opened so many doors for me. i am an adult, so i live by no one’s standards but my own— if i want to cut corners in my own life to make things easier, that doesn’t make me a failure. tossing out the harmful standards living in abuse pushed on me makes me far more capable, calm, and focused. instead of being flooded with guilt, im able to accept the help and goodwill of my friends around me. its little things like this that make me confident in my slow but sure recovery.

why do I even leave comments on anything on the internet anymore? (that’s not fanfic, which deserves All The Comments). People only engage with you if they think you’re wrong so basically any sort of opinion raised generates a smackdown and a negative feedback loop. Being a woman on the internet isn’t so much an echo chamber as a silencing chamber.

amoderndayshaman asked:

I saw your post about how the Earth is slowly drifting farther away from the Sun and found it very interesting! Would that technically mean that Earth’s years are getting slightly longer? And if so, is it possible that leap day will stop being a thing in the distant future?

Earth’s years are getting very slightly longer due to an outward spiral, but we are talking about microseconds per year; the effect on the length of the day or the number of days in a year is negligible.

But there is another effect that will change the length of the day more quickly: the tidal friction from the Moon on our Earth. The Moon spirals away from us, and that slows the rotation of the Earth. In about 4 million years, there will be no more leap days owing to this effect.
