So apparently Alchemy is a subject taught at Hogwarts and I bet all the muggleborn students have a fuckin field day with that one like can you imagine

Some poor, unsuspecting Hogwarts professor: Alright class, welcome to your first Alchemy lesson. Now, can anyone tell me what alchemy is?

Every muggleborn student in haunting unison: Alchemy is the science of understanding, deconstructing, and reconstructing matter. However, it is not an all powerful art. If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost. This “equivalent exchange” is alchemys first law…

There was a debate in the trans community about peanut butter and jelly. The debate was about which combination of jelly and peanut butter tasted the best.

Chunky peanut butter and raspberry jelly, pass it on.

Smooth peanut butter and strawberry jam. But the real discussion here is that pb&j is gross

@pikky126 is a true prophet and the rest of yall are heathens

hang on hold the phone i didnt finish reading this. pb&j is great. prophet status revoked

Super chunky peanut butter and blackberry jam

Smunchy peanut butter and homemade strawberry jam on wholemeal bread

smooth peanut butter and grape jelly is the best tho

Can we normalize doing nothing, please?

I work with kids. These kids are at my program before and after school, and then some of them have sports/dance/music sometimes all of the above before they finally go home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Then rinse and repeat everyday, and games and more classes on the weekend, etc.

I’m all for extracurriculars, but this turns into the teen who is not only in the school play, but they’re on the newspaper, the football team, and seven different clubs. In college they take double the courseloads, and then once they graduate…what?

They work themselves raw because they arent used to downtime. They’ve been told they can always be doing something, and they don’t know how to relax. This turns into the adult that has anxiety because there’s nothing left to clean, the adult that desperately wants to watch that TV show but can’t force themselves to sit long enough for it.

Then they turn into the moms and dads who spend all their free time ferrying their kids to extracurriculars.

Like, these kids don’t know what downtime is? I told a kid I did nothing last weekend, and he looked at me like I was crazy. He asked what I was doing this weekend and I said “Probably sleeping, mostly,” and he actually gasped. Then he rattled off a bunch of things I could do, to which I had to stop him.

“No, you don’t understand. I plan on sleeping. I’m booked.”

“But you could–”

“Nah. I’m just gonna rest.”

It was as if I had said a bad word or something. I asked what he does when he gets sick, and he says he goes to practice anyway. I asked him what he does if he doesn’t feel like going, and he said he goes anyway. I asked when he takes time to rest, and he said when he sleeps at night.

Bring back lazy Sundays. Bring back Saturday morning cartoons. Bring back the idea of relaxing and soaking in your day before moving into the next thing. Bring back the right to breathe, the right to rest.

Bring back mental health days, and taking a break. Bring back taking a walk or watching a show or setting a timer to remind yourself to stop cleaning and relax.

If you’re running at 100% all the time with no time to recharge, then your battery is going to die spectacularly, and probably at the worst possible time.
