i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Tw for pet loss.

When you survive on anger and hate and all the negative emotions, it becomes all you know. Even when you’re trying to find the good in life.

You just know, that deep down, there’s always anger just simmering and waiting to be released.

So, what do you do when there’s a pain so terrible and heartbreaking that you…forget what angry you felt like? What do you do when the pain takes your very breath away? How are you supposed to find a reason to be angry and spiteful and all those negative emotions, hm?

What do you do when your constant companion, the one who’s been by your side for 11.5 years, suddenly gets sick and crosses the rainbow bridge? You feel like sinking. You feel aimless, confused. The one who’s always kept you grounded when the world would turn upside down is now the reason you’re floating without an anchor.

For the first time in 11.5 years, the anger isn’t the overwhelming feeling. And now, I’ve got to find a way to make a new way forward. I hate it.

Hug your dogs, your cats and all your pets extra tight. Please.

Now that the sun’s risen on a new day, the devastation is starting to hit. The town next to me still has over 11k people without power and still over 100+ power lines and poles that need to be fixed.

The temperature is steadily dropping as people scramble to find, or fill, propane tanks for heaters and generators.

If you’re around the Nashville metro area, please donate or volunteer if you can or are able to. Water, nonperishables, clothing for all ages and sizes. Anything helps.

I don’t know if anyone is the praying type or the “send good vibes” type but…my area could really use some positive thoughts right now.

We got hit with back to back to back tornadoes in the span of 20-ish minutes. There’s…gods. There’s so much damage. The tornadoes came out of nowhere. It was supposed to be just rain. But then it turned to hail and the sky changed colors then the temperature dropped 30° and then…tornadoes.

Anyone here know a thing or two about boats and open waters like lakes or oceans? It was the Three Sisters but in an unholy trinity of wind. I’m - I just - it’s been hours and I don’t have the right words.

The kennels where I worked was wrecked. The animals and employees are safe. But the whole building minus the kennels itself has to be torn down to rebuild. If the owner decides to rebuild.

I really do think that it’s good for the soul to be unironically pretentious about something. Not in a gatekeeping kind of way but in a “yes, it really is that deep and I would love to enthusiastically and passionately explain why” kind of way.

J. K. Rowling and Neil Gaiman are such a funny contrast to me, like Rowling: Oh, and by the way, I put gay characters in my books. People: Is there anything... showing that? Rowling: No. Also trans women don't deserve respect People: wtf Gaiman: Here are some immortals that transcend all human concepts of gender and attraction who use a variety of pronouns, and also some clearly canon human queers. People: Are the immortals queer? Gaiman: That is an entirely valid way to view them. Other people: Ugh, pushing a modern woke agenda. It used to be- Gaiman: Fuck you

We need to bring back private rail cars as the cool, sexy, exclusive way to travel, so instead of dumping the carbon budget of a small nation in the global south on private jets, celebrities have to attach their luxury pull an cars to the back of an Amtrak. Then the celebrities will lobby for Amtrak lines to be better

Seriously when did this

Become sexier than this

Like isn't it nice to watch the scenery, to be able to open a window and have fresh air, to be able to stand up all the way, not have your ears pop?

I've noticed that people have started spreading the 1992 Good Omens script around. Please don't. If you've got it up, please take it down. There's a mess of serious and real legalities involved, and I don't want to have to start being a dick and asking for copyright takedowns and all of that, and I don't want to have to regret letting it out into the world. Just take it down, unshare, delete links. Thank you.

I need all my Vexleth shippers to go read You Know I'm in Love with You, Right ? by PenMasterShepard on Ao3 because when I tell you this fic had me crying from just Chapter 2 I'm not even kidding. The writing is absolutely beautiful and the story flows so naturally I'm just blown away by how amazing it is. It's currently at 11 chapters with more than 77k words and it's so worth it because every word will just have you in love with Vex and Keyleth and their relationship. Such a great read and still ongoing I swear it's so beautiful.

(Also side note I will be continuing my vexleth moments from C1 so will be posting some of those soon).

[notbeckysauerbrunn4]

let love in. believe compliments. be vulnerable and soft-hearted. tell people you love that you love them. see beauty in everyday things. live life like you’re in a movie. don’t be afraid to begin again.

[notbeckysauerbrunn4]

what do they put in large rocks that make u just want to. stand on it.
