Tumblr user existennialmemes: My favorite Cryptid is Hope

Proof that Hope is a Cryptid:

Ephemeral

Hard to get a good picture of it

Lots of reasons to not believe in it

It can find you even when you least expect it

Tumblr user existennialmemes reblogged:

Sep 18, 2025

You may not believe in Hope, but Hope is stalking you from the edges of the forest, waiting patiently to make its move.

Tumblr user existennialmemes reblogged:

Sep 18, 2025

Find hope in small places. If you can't find any, make some by showing random kindness. Tell someone their outfit looks good, send a friend their favorite snack, put a dollar in somebody's cup, tell someone how much they mean to you.

"Be Kind, but never be a Doormat" is legitimately one of my guiding personal philosophies.
You did it! You scrolled long enough, you found the Secret to the Universe! Congratulations!

They don't hand out this Secret, Esoteric Knowledge to just ANYONE so, be proud!

Are you ready? For Ultimate Enlightenment?

Here we go: Be Kind, but Never be a Doormat

Just kidding! The real secret is: Be Born Rich! Known in Celestial Circles as "a cheat code"

FB is pissing me the fuck off again, so I'm gonna try posting over here for the first time in several years 😅 Tbh I doubt it'll last, but I'm giving it one more try.
Tumblr user existennialmemes: The man who wrote: "I'ma take your grandpa's style. No, for real, ask your grandpa. Can I have his hand-me-downs?" has more conscience and courage than nearly all of our elected officials.

Which supports my generally accepted axiom that a goofy, benign weirdo will always be more trustworthy than any average well dressed CEO.

Tumblr User existennialmemes: "Nobody wants to work anymore" he scoffs, as he sprints down an alleyway, narrowly avoiding the shambling horde of zombies behind him.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" he repeats, as his feet scrape the pavement through the tattered shoes he can't afford to replace.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" he yells, as another flash blizzard springs up around him.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" he sighs, as his AmazonSmart Oximeter beeps to remind him that he needs 12 more productivity hours this week to earn full oxygen allotment.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" he wails as he rounds the corner, stumbling directly into another horde of zombies.

"Nobody wants to work anymAghhhh" he shrieks as he's eaten by zombies.

Genuinely frightening 🤷🏻‍♀️
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Jokes aside, I am feeling rather anxious that there are so many CEOs still at large.

Tumblr User existennialmemes replied:

I just think it's frightening that dangerous people like that are allowed to roam freely where at any time, they might walk into a boardroom and kill thousands of people with a stroke of their pen.

Tumblr User existennialmemes: 

For those of you outside the US trying to understand our recent current events, here's a fact sheet on US Health Insurance Companies:

They are all run by cartoon villains

The only way they make money is by denying as many people care as possible

They get to decide which medicines and procedures you get to have, not your doctor

They also get to decide how much they pay doctors for covered procedures, regardless of the billed cost for those procedures

You typically have to pay a significant deductible on top of your monthly premiums before they'll even pay out at all

They don't literally consume human souls in a parasitic bid to live forever, but they metaphorically consume human souls in a parasitic bid to live forever.

Is it too soon to be writing Folk Songs? Asking for me.
Tumblr User existennialmemes: The Claims Adjuster

There was once a modest man

No one knew his name

He was not seeking riches

He was not seeking fame

He sought only justice

For crimes gone unopposed

He set the tide in motion

Deny, Defend, Depose

For too long we've suffered

He refused to play their game

Now he's changed the rules

May we never learn his name

Plum is laying on their side wearing a sparkly silver crop top, a long red and green mesh skirt with a high slit, and though high fishnets. They have a crown of horns and flowers on their head, clawed gloves, and are holding a big stick and smirking at the camera.

Also the proles have super powers because of a toxic waste spill or something. For added drama.
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Apocalypse movie where the World Ending Event is just the working class rising up together. And the movie is from the perspective of a rag tag group of NY billionaires trying to get to the coast so they can escape on their yachts.

And it's a classic horror/thriller in that most of them do not make it, but at the end one or two actually get to the coast. And they set sail on their mega yacht. Making plans to just live at sea for a while until they look different enough that they can sneak back into society undetected.

And then you just hear this loud THUD and the whole boat shakes and the camera pans over to reveal like a 100 orcas lining up to ram it.

The boat cracks in half and you hear their screams get swallowed up by the waters and then it just cuts to the end credits.

Thinking about this for absolutely no reason.

Rudolph is an Anti Work Anthem if you read between the lines
Tumblr User existennialmemes: 

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Was shunned for natural variations

Although not very common

Used to deal him verbal abuse

His nose was a typical deviation All of the other reindeer They never let poor Rudolph Then one foggy Christmas Eve Corporate came to say

Assimilate to the majority group

"Rudolph your accusations have been rejected outright, but we will exploit your labor tonight!"

And all of the reindeer who harmed him Never saw any penalties Now Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Is fundraising for therapy

Instead of trying to scrub your executives' names from the Internet, might I suggest: Being a Better Person
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Safety Tips for Anxious Health Insurance CEOs:

Don't make your fortune by standing between sick people and their medicine

Oops, too late, just quit your job

Distribute your ill gotten wealth to the impoverished masses

Rally against for-profit healthcare systems

Help build an equitable society so there are no more desperate people resorting to such desperate measures.

I hope this event will instigate change, but it doesn't automatically change anything, and that part is a serious bummer.
Tumblr User existennialmemes: The only tragic thing about the United Healthcare CEO is that it functionally changes nothing. A new CEO will just replace him.

I wish fantasy realm rules applied and once you've defeated the Evil Overlord all of their wicked misdeeds were automatically undone.

I am a Benevolent God 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Tumblr User existennialmemes: 

The only Holy Trinity I believe in is:

Me (the Father)

My Body (the Son)

My Brain (the Holy Ghost)

Except it's usually My Body & Brain who are sacrificing me. And yet I bestow my blessings on them anyway. Because of Grace or whatever.

Healthcare is a human right
Tumblr User existennialmemes: My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tragedy of having a health insurance company compromise your life by rejecting your claims.

I am devastated for everyone denied the healthcare they need and deserve because an avaricious middleman industry inserted itself between you and your medical team.

I am significantly less moved by someone experiencing a predictable consequence to leading a life of cruelty and greed.

Facebook just made me delete this post because they flagged it for everything from self harm to solicitation and drugs and would not let me dispute it or request a review. My only choice was to delete it, and I am so sick of that fucking platform. So anyway, here's my cute Cheshire cosplay 💖

Please correct me if I'm getting this wrong! But this is the gist as I have gathered it from the articles I've read today.
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Very cool of South Korea to demonstrate how to resist a dictator, so the difference will be stark when our legislative branch doesn't do that.

Tumblr User existennialmemes replied:

I admit I do not know a whole lot about this situation, but from what I understand President Yoon (who is reportedly very unpopular) pulled the "My enemies are out to get me, the state cannot be trusted I am declaring martial law"

And the people and the parliament were just like "absolutely not." Widespread protests broke out and Parliament voted (I think unanimously) to overturn the martial law order a few hours later.

✨ Executive Dysfunction ✨
Tumblr User existennialmemes: 

Me: Hey, we need to go do this thing right now

My Brain: You mean, it's urgent that I switch tasks immediately without delay?

Me: Yeah it's... oh no-

My Brain: [sets my body in the upright and locked position] well, if it's important enough to do immediately then it's important enough to stew about in an immobilized panic instead.

I am down for these activities in particular:

Hanging out with cats

Smoking weed with my tits out

Eating snacks

Watching cartoons

Any combination of the above

The Christmas movie we deserve
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Christmas Movie, but it's from the perspective of Jesus Christ, who sneaks back to Earth, and is immediately confused why everyone is celebrating his birthday in December.

He wanders into a Megachurch on accident, thinking it was a mini mall, and hears an evangelist (who lives in a mansion) taking the Lord's name in Vain to guilt donations out of people. Then he gets arrested for rushing the stage and beating that guy with a whip.

A significant chunk of the movie is just his elaborate escape from prison, wherein he starts a riot upon learning how cruelly the prisoners are treated by a blasphemous carceral system.

The movie ends with him using God Magic on the president of the US, and being formally declared the Anti Christ by the Catholic Church

Tumblr User existennialmemes replied:

Also Jesus would absolutely be played by a Middle Eastern man, and there would be a scene where he's looking back and forth between a picture of Jesus™™ and his own reflection like "Ehh I really don't see the resemblance"

Tumblr User existennialmemes: Genuinely hilarious that the phrase "Work Ethic" doesn't mean, like, actually remaining ethical in your business practices.

It just means prioritizing your boss's income over your physical and mental well being, and has actually no bearing on "ethics" whatsoever.

Tumblr User existennialmemes replied:

I'm coining a new phrase, it's called "Employee Virtue." No, it doesn't mean being a virtuous employee. It means prioritizing your well being and stealing as much as you possibly can.

Example: "Stacy has great Employee Virtue, she lied to her boss and got the day off, because she's so burnt out. Also she stole like 800 pens."

Here's a conversation starter to roll out while everyone is gathered for Thanksgiving: Is your religion a Spirituality or a Hate Group?

Spirituality:

"My religion provides me with a set of guidelines about how to conduct my personal life, the tenets of which apply voluntarily to me and other voluntary followers of my faith"

Hate Group:

"My religion provides me with a set of guidelines about how every person must conduct their personal lives, the tenets of which I must enforce on non followers against their will."

Which category does your faith put you in?

Tumblr User existennialmemes: Yeah I've got BDE: Bitter Despair at Existence

But you know what? I've also got RBF: Radical Belief in the Future. Things can get better.

What can you do today to make something,

anything, just a little bit better? Maybe a dollar in someone's cup or maybe reach out to a friend who's struggling, or maybe you just take a nap.

Pick the smallest thing you can do, that will, in any small way, materially improve someone's suffering (including your own) and do it.

And together we can become DTF:

Dialectical, Transformative, and Free

Yeah I know I took some creative liberties with the car thing here, that was intentional. And listen "dissolved plants and animals that predate dinosaurs" was just not as pithy 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
Tumblr User existennialmemes: Nothing feels real. You had to have noticed. Everything is a hollow distraction painted over the Horrors raging beneath.

You wave to your neighbor. They smile at you. It does not reach their eyes. They resume shoveling soft, biodegradable plant matter into plastic bags. Because the leaves "look tacky."

You commute thirty minutes to work in a metal cage propelled by small explosions. Stopping once to fill it with dissolved dinosaurs. And to fill yourself with the state sanctioned stimulant.

A normal morning.

Unfathomable suffering goes on, far away from you. "Better there than here" you think. Unfathomable suffering goes on, right outside your doorway. You politely avert your gaze.

It doesn't have to be this way. It's not supposed to be this way. This planet has the resources for the entire globe to thrive. They are being mishandled by .01% of our population.

We can have a better world.

Tumblr User existennialmemes: Questions to Avoid if You Don't Discuss Politics

How's the weather?

Did you see the new Superhero Movie?

How're you doing?
