sorry to get sappy on tumbles at 11pm but something I've found really comforting about tiktok has been finding videos with 100s of 1000s of likes and comments of people in their 30s, 40s, even 50s talking about never really having dated/been in a relationship and that they're starting out now! and all the comments are like "me too!" or "good for you" and people relating or being nice and idk! I guess I didn't realise how much low-key shame I had about not having really been in a relationship or having much dating success but then these tiktoks make me breathe out a little. it's nice that this thing that makes you feel like a freak is actually pretty normal. It's also nice that many people don't actually think never really having dated as an adult is that weird because sometimes I genuinely feel like I'm walking around with giraffe ears <3
I went to a concert last night and it was so great... At 1st I was only there for Solann but Garance Midi performed 1st and I had listened to their songs twice just to be able to vibe with them maybe scream a word here and there but my brain is so wild when it comes to music I knew every single words to the 10-11 songs they performed and I vibed with the vocalist so much bc I was close like touching the scene close and she was seeing me singing every words to her band's songs and she was so girlie pop to me in the middle of her heavier songs still like their set was done and I immediately went on insta to follow and then saw Solann and God I would burn for her... she's a siren and I'm ready to fall into her deadly trap idc she can eat me alive...
Anyway, I left before the 3rd performer bc my dad had sent a text about how our dog was all over the place and howling trying to find me by hour 3 of me being gone and honestly I get it... I cried coming home bc it was the 1st time I came home from smth, and my little dude wasn't there to greet me, so I get that she felt maybe abandoned? a 2nd time, and I care way less about a singer's feeling over someone leaving before their set than I do about our last dog.
But I still took 5min at the merch stand buying the Garance Midi cd and I got her autograph while telling her that I loved the set so much I'm now their follower 732 on Insta and she was so thankful and so cute!!
Video from Solann, the woman I worship. Mind y'all, this is the only one I managed to stay silent for...
above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.
Another thing is that when this aggression started, we were so worried about winter and how displaced people in tents will survive it. Earlier this week the temperature in Gaza hit 38 degrees (100 Fahrenheit) and we are now wondering how will displaced people survive the heat in those tents.
Many have suggested that Mr. Benedict Bridgerton, might desire to join the mart this season. This author suspects what the second son truly seeks is a sense of purpose. I do encourage you to say yes to society for once, Mr. Bridgerton. You never know where it may lead you.
