“Maybe that’s what growing up means, in the end - you go far enough in the direction of - somewhere - and you realise that you’ve neutered the capacity of the term home to mean anything. […] We don’t get an endless number of orbits away from the place where meaning first arises, that treasure-house of first experiences. What we learn, instead, is that our adventures secure us in our isolation. Experience revokes our licence to return to simpler times. Sooner or later, there’s no place remotely like home.”

— Gregory Maguire (Out of Oz)

Xena every year or so: I’m about to do something so dangerous to atone for my previous murder spree and I can’t involve Gabrielle so I’m going to leave her here to keep her safe along with a letter declaring my love and telling her I’ll probably die but it’s ok

Gabrielle *adds the letter to the collection of others so that she can give a PowerPoint presentation titled ‘why leaving your wife to go kill things is always a terrible idea’ makes a note to give Joxer 5 bucks on this bet and begins to follow the trail*

This drawing is inspired by the first episode of the first season in which Gabrielle asks Xena to allow Gab to travel with her. However, Xena denies this because she only sees Gab as a helpless peasant. I just made everything gayer.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

It's a space station full of absolute incorrigible gossips!

I saw a post the other day about how difficult mindfulness meditation can be, especially for people who are neurodivergent, and OP was frustrated that their therapist never recommended anything else. There are many opportunities to bring mindfulness, focus, and intention to activities you already like! Learning about flow state has been a real eye-opener for me.

it’s sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”

And he was so astonished he didn’t even argue he just turned around and left 💀🙏🏻 it was like he suddenly became self aware

are u ever sick w longing. and i don't just mean romantic longing. i mean longing for a place you barely get to see, longing for friends you no longer have, longing for feelings you might have left behind in your childhood, longing for creativity, longing for a rich and more expansive life, longing for less inhibition. longing for more passion. longing for ur life to be so incandescent w something it thaws all the frost in ur bones. are u ever so consumed w it it rends ur heart in two. do u understand me

[geshertzarmeod]

what i do is none of my business
