takedown is a great song bc every lyric could be about rumi as much as it could be about the saja boys and jinu. in some ways it even makes more sense for it to be about her than them in how it addresses her own fears and insecurities. very well written

fucking switzerland but no delaware

y'know, as far as license plates in the us go, Delaware has been the most elusive by far. It's my white whale.

Whenever we go on road trips, I try to find all the license plates. I'm in Yellowstone right now and I have every plate except Hawaii (ofc) and Delaware. On a trip to Mount Rushmore I saw every plate except West Virginia and Delaware. (I swear on my copy of Gideon the Ninth that I saw a Hawaii sitting innocuously in a parking lot in Custer.)

Are the residents of Delaware simply uninterested in American landmarks? Is something more nefarious going on and they are trapped inside the state, unable to leave? If I have to actually travel halfway across the country myself to see a Delaware plate, I'll do it.

Another thing about visiting The Woods is that the water tastes very different and I hate it. Apparently it's got a bunch of minerals and junk that are probably good for you (or at least not bad for you) that make it taste like it came straight out of a mountain with all the metals and dirt still in there. I want the good old city water sweetened with chemicals dumped by a corporation, none of this "cleaner" and "healthier" water.

Me an my mom and brother are on a lil trip rn, away from the cities and in the woods. The woods are known for consisting mainly of conservative people.

Anyway my brother and I stopped in a grocery store, and I quietly made a joke about a rainbow jello thing being gay, and my brother was all "SHHHHH, don't say that! I don't wanna get hate crimed."

"I don't think that little old lady is gonna hate crime us"

"You don't know that for sure" *looks around suspiciously*

Turns out that while high on laughing gas and barely able to hear over the sound of the dentist drilling my teeth I can still recognize Pompeii by Bastille. That song has me in a chokehold.

yeeeeees exactly. No sex, no romance, just the two of them being partners in some meaningful sense, solving crimes together and knowing each other's secrets.

The Angel of the Crows verdict: Very cute platonic ship. I don't want them to come even sort of close to kissing, but I do want them to be teasing each other and making snarky asides to each other and laughing at each other's jokes and cheerfully protecting and ignoring each other forever.

Music theory is so fucked up. I just discovered the C# major and Db major scales use the exact same notes in the same order. Like they're technically different notes bc the names are different but also they're the same. I probably sound like a crazy person to anyone who doesn't play any instruments and also some people who do. Db major is just C# major in a trenchcoat and I can never unlearn this information.

There's nothing sexier than a fanfic where all the tags are like "everybody is now poc, queer in at least one way, is disabled and/or neurodivergent and/or has a mental illness"

One thing about learning to play instruments from a young age is that you often use the word "fingering" in a completely innocent context without sex even crossing your mind

I do not blame Ms. Darcy for agreeing to elope with Wickam; she was fifteen, he was a manipulative dude she'd known since childhood, and I'm not about to victim blame.

But the fact that she was willing to marry a guy whose first name was George while her name was Georgiana is absolutely insane. Like girlfriend, how was that not a dealbreaker.

Sometimes, you just need to read a book about a woman having a mental health crisis. It will either fix something inside of you or mess you up even more. Or if you're lucky, both.

God, human meat sacks are the worst. Mine is even in pretty good condition, and it's still wonky as hell. I turned my head too fast or something yesterday and I guess I pulled a muscle? I can't move my head very far to the right without pain and one of my shoulders is sitting lower than the other for no discernable reason. Fuck this mortal coil.

i have this one friend. Who is very important to me. And sometimes the exigencies of fate require that she gives me a ride to places. Which I appreciate very much.

But whenever a bird flies in front of the car or a squirrel darts across the road she SLAMS on the brakes. And it's like girl, please just kill it. It's just a small animal. I'm getting whiplash. It was probably gonna die of old age in a week anyway.

listen, I was Smol when vine was around, and I've only seen the original clip maybe once, but I still can't look at a road work ahead sign without thinking "yeah I sure hope it does"

There is something so intoxicatingly rebellious about blasting Chappell Roan on the car ride home after youth group at your homophobic church

Episode 1, season 2, Leverage Redemption. We get several shots of Breanna where her laptop and the stickers thereon are in view. Among several other cool stickers, I swear to god there is an ace planet sticker. What else could those colors in that order possibly be. This amazing sapphic young woman appears to also be asexual.

Please please please can they mention this later on!!! Please tell me I'm not imagining things!!! They have the rest of this season and the entirety of the season that's coming out to bring this up! This is very important to meeeeeeeee. Hell I'd be happy if that girl it sounded like she was dating showed up again, but I might start biting furniture and making happy feral harpy sounds if Breanna is confirmed onscreen to be acespec.
