Percy… this isn’t how I wanted to do this. And gods know all this attention would appall you but… That day with you in Syngorn when you stood next to me and allowed me to be a part of something that you hold dearest. I.. I was so proud. You stood up for me and I… I lied to you. I lied to myself. I hate that I was too afraid to admit it. You’re fascinating, and… obstinate, and… and the cleverest man I know. You have to find your way back to us Percy. Because the truth is...

having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!

I think often if the time I was working for a state forest overwinter and my roommate and I were the only people living in a 12-bedroom bunkhouse in the forest so one day her friend asked of she could do some sort of volunteer work in and live there for the winter. the friend was a wildland firefighter and it’s a travesty that the most people fighting wildfires in this country are only seasonally employed, unhoused most of the year, and don’t even get health insurance. Genuinely it’ll give me an ulcer if I think too much about it.

We contacted our supervisor who told us there was no volunteer work that qualified for housing but when he found out she fights fires in the forest we were managing, I guess he reasoned that she sort of worked there anyway, so he said, “just don’t make it obvious.”

So she lived there all winter & one day one of the forest rangers in charge of our housing came to do her annual inspection and she walked in, saw three bedrooms occupied when there should have only been two, and as she stood there looking at the bedrooms, my coworker confidently said, “I have a lot of stuff.”

The ranger raised her eyebrows at the two bedrooms located beside each other, and said, “I can see that.”

She left after the inspection and we assumed she was vaguely in-the-know and chose not to bust us, but the next month I was out for drinks with another ranger and he said, “Does [coworker] really have so much stuff she took up two rooms?? How did she fit all that in her car?”

Apparently, the first ranger took us at face value.

I said, “Yeah, she must be really good at packing.”

He said, “[Ranger 1] told me two beds were made. She’s sleeping in two beds?”

I said, “Yeah, she likes switching beds to shake it up. It got really quiet over the winter.”

He sipped his beer very thoughtfully and said, “Huh. Not a bad idea.”

In a way that sounded like he probably went home and tried that out.
