“Nice of you to finally join us, but sadly, the fun’s already over.”

“Do I look sad, lounging back in this velvet chair in a robe with a wine glass full of juice in my hand? No. I am living life, my friend.”

“Who said I need a map to find the treasure?”

“I was hoping it’d work out, but eh, that’s life.”

“Who needs matching socks when you have all these options?”

“You’re not doing your best as a villain and sooner or later, someone’s going to notice.”

I promise

There's more than this

Sinkholes and peach pits

Somewhere there's a fruit stand

Waiting in the open

Tucked away from the city

There's an orchard in the distance

Where little pinkish orange stars grow

Where the sunshine is immaculate

The juice dribbles down your chin

Tasting of September and seraphim

And the seeds we've buried will grow sweet as raspberries

As long as we tend to them carefully

Tomorrow could be more beautiful than ever

john mulaney has checked into rehab. here’s what we are going to do:

• support him

• wish him well

• respect his privacy

here’s what we are NOT going to do

• make jokes because addiction is not funny

• speculate anything about his marriage or personal life

• attack those in his personal life (*ahem, leave anna alone. don’t go asking pete davidson for details. none of that)

addiction is a serious disease, and while this news may be troubling, i am so proud of him for seeking help. you can too.

John Mulaney checking himself into rehab after 15 years of sobriety is another depressing piece of news in the long list of them in 2020. Wishing him a speedy recovery after his relapse. This year has been a tough year for everyone for so many reasons that none of us were prepared for. Please check in with your loved ones.

The refreshing rain will surely be a cold one

Renewal will come

As the times change

The tide will come in

Again

After it goes out

We will stand side by side

Watching

Feeding gulls off the seawall

Together

We will be what we're about

Finally

Different

Joyously

Rapturous

As if our past selves were forgiven

Saved up in heaven

As if we could start living

Easy now

Light as the seafoam

Soft as the curious wind

Like sylphs playing volleyball

There is laughter in the chaos

There is sand in our socks

Telling us to wear our flip-flops

Start over

Water bottles healing like Jesus in the streets

Bathing our weary feet

Not thinking of the drive home

Not thinking much of anything

Besides how lucky I am

To be reborn with you

My crybaby prince

My miracle

I hope that every return brings me back to you

Because I want the last words I ever write to be loving

Deeply and profoundly

Personal enough that you can feel my heartbeat

Pressed against your ear

Like a private ocean

Heaving sighs

Gently

For you

So I'll cut to the chase on this since a lot of people are dying, drowning, and screaming for help in Cagayan and Isabela, Philippines. A lot of them have also been stranded and are standing on their rooftops as we speak.

I'm here to post a collection of donation drives that I've gathered online. If we can't help them physically, we can at least make sure they have monetary assistance, food and clothing once they're evacuated.

This is how Cagayan looks, from recent photos (not mine)

TW: screams and shouts for help

HOW TO HELP

DONATION DRIVES

Please feel free to add on this post for any other ways to help.

For context:

The Philippines has been hit by three consecutive typhoons this month alone: Quinta, Rolly (Goni internationally) and Ulysses. It's been hitting nearly the same areas, which has made them even more vulnerable now that they're still recovering from the previous typhoons. Our mountain ranges couldn't shield us from this due to heavy quarrying and deforestation.

That said, these aren't the only places in need of assistance. But these are the places in urgent need of help. And we're trying to do as best as we can with what little we have.

I'll update this post from time to time for full transparency.

And there are moments, when the moon hangs high in the sky. When her body aches from craving the things she can't have. In those moments, she thanks the past for its struggles.

When I was a kid, my mother taught me that the dead would steal your breath away. I thought they deserved one last breath, to tell a loved one goodbye or one last laugh. So I used to breathe extra hard next to cemeteries. Prompt: write a story about a life lesson you learned a little differently than you were meant to.
