Twelve years ago today, my now-spouse and I decided to roam our hometown's mall together, and decided to get dinner at Grimaldi's. This would morph into our very first lil date. 💜

Not a want but a need

what if she was called chappell bone and instead of a singer she was a necromancer who raised strong as fuck skeleton warriors

Among the reasons why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek is that the outfits look like they were designed by a competent costume designer who had been given a pile of the world's most miscellaneous fabrics and told that if they didn't use it all up by sunrise, Rumpelstiltskin would take their firstborn child.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

This was a feeling that took me a very long time to come to terms with. Back in 2020, I finally made an active effort to put it into words.

So many of the stars we "see" are long dead.

It takes years

for the light of even the star most near

to arrive and ablaze

our awestruck gaze.

There's no way to know

which are still stars,

or which are simply the afterglow

of a burning life afar.

It made me joyless and torn;

not knowing which to adore

or which to mourn.

And even those still burning alive

am I truly seeing them,

or just their light as it arrives?

But really, everything we "see"

is just how our brains perceive

patterns and wavelengths of light.

Why does it matter if that light is from a nova,

or from the laughter in your best friend's eyes?

We could either mourn everything we see as a lie,

or admire in wonder

of how our minds and reality intertwine.

I choose to smile at how the sun

warms my love's skin as he sleeps,

and to look at the stars

while not wanting to weep.

Y'all, I'm never going to forgive all the fucking annoying men (and folks who hate like men) of the internet who drove mcmeatrocket (aka Tessa) to delete her accounts :(

Her posts were such a breath of fresh air, so of course the general public had to stomp that out, I guess

[phantommai]

many ways to bloom. just take your pick. 💜

Finished modding a new iPod last night and synched on one random song just to make sure everything was hooked up right only for iTunes to suddenly not want to recognize my iPod this morning, so the one and only song that this iPod plays is Crack Addict by Limp Bizkit
