My friend and her biomom are still missing, and considering it's been like two(2) weeks, most of my other friends have given up hope, I haven't cuz I was taught that until we have a body there's still a chance, there's still hope, and we treat the missing like their still alive. Is that childish of me? Maybe. But I've suffered far too much loss to believe this one until there is undeniable proof. Sorry this was such a rant, I'm just so frustrated about it and no on irl will let me explain my perspective w/out treating/looking at me like I'm a monster or I'm too young to understand. (btw I'm the second oldest of my friend group so idk where they're getting that from)

Right okay I don't do this like ever and honestly I'm pretty nervous about this cuz some of younger me's takes were /not/ great and I don't what people seeing those but this many be life or death(for the sake of safety names are changed or simply redacted)

MY FRIEND(A) AND HER FAMILY GOT SWEPT AWAY IN THE RECENT 4TH OF JULY FLOODING IN TEXAS. AS OF NOW, THEY ARE STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO HELP LOOK, EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE ALREADY DOING THAT. WE JUST NEED SOME EXTRA PRAYERS FOR THEIR SAFE RETURN HOME AND, LORD WILLING, MINIMAL TRAUMA FROM THIS

ANOTHER OF MY FRIENDS(B) LOST THEIR HOME TO IT. AS FAR AS THEY'VE TOLD ME, THEIR FINE JUST A BIT SHAKEN AND FAR MORE WORRIED ABOUT FRIEND A.

I KNOW MANY OF US TUMBLR RESIDENTS DON'T BELIEVE OR HAVE SOME TRAUMA FROM BAD CHURCHES, BUT PRAYERS OF ANY KIND ARE MORE THAN APPRECIATED🫶

Worry not I'll update when their safe

i will never not be crazy about s1 dante seeing garroth and laurence as much more experienced gaurds and mentor figures almost, and then in s2 having grown older than both of them, even surpassing them in combat skill....

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

I don't know if I have many teenagers following me, but if I do, I want to tell you a story.

Way back when I was in high school, more than half my age ago at this point, I did a politics class mostly because my other two classes were with the same teacher and if I took that one it meant I didn't have to leave the portable in the winter. Which gives you an idea of how seriously I took my education.

For extra credit, our teacher wanted us to attend a local city council candidate's meeting. And he wanted us to treat it like an old 1930s election campaign trail situation. Posters, candidate ribbons, noise makers, the works. Now, he was also bribing us with pizza for after and for a fair number of us that meant a free meal instead of having peanut butter on a spoon for dinner.

So four classes worth of twelfth graders rocked up at this thing armed with campaign slogans we'd made up for our chosen candidates, posters, one kid had a bunch of glow sticks. And we freaking roared whenever someone would step up to the podium to start their pitch.

And most of the politicians ate it up. These meetings usually got fifteen little old ladies looking for something to do on a Tuesday night. We outnumbered them. We were taking up the whole back half of the room. Most of us, that would be our first year eligible to vote, and I guess seeing us there lit a fire under them. It went from 'This year's holiday light display should be blue and white themed, all in favour?' to 'This town is pretty nice, but it could be better. Let's figure out how!' Instead of the meeting ending after the last speaker and everyone grabbing some sugar cookies and coffee, it turned into a question and answer period. They wanted to know what we wanted from them.

We discussed how our little town turning more and more into a bedroom community or commuter town meant that job opportunities were leaving. How that lack of prospects for us was contributing to the rate of drug use and suicide. The epidemic of teen pregnancies was costing so many young women their education because they were encouraged to drop out of school. And how we needed things to do that weren't just sitting in the mall food court.

Over the next few years, things started to happen. The community centres started doing career training programs. Everything from engine repair to nail technician. The adult learning centre had a class that was all young mothers getting their high school diplomas. They built a skate park. There were outdoor concerts and music events. The hockey rink and outdoor performance stage got fixed up. A pretty big company came along and brought tons of jobs with it and suddenly we had opportunities that weren't either a burger joint or shovelling icing in the cookie factory.

This is all a long, slightly rambling way to say that while voting is absolutely important, if you really want your voice heard, show up to meetings. Make some noise. Tell your elected officials what you need to thrive in your community. Especially if you're in a small town.
