Beach Day II

[sun-marie]

This is probably gonna be the last time I talk about this bc all it really does is make me sad and it's not the kind of thing I want to focus on abt BG3, but whenever the larian writers say some out-of-pocket shit about Wyll or Gale I'm reminded of this

not that i was sooo active before but just a heads up <3

Tbh I don't like it when a character gets injured in the pilot episode of a show. In the pilot we haven't had time to get a connection or get attached to the character which also shows in the way its written/edited and I feel it takes away alot of the whump potential 😔

Lately I’ve really been wallowing in my own drama over Hallow’s health and grieving my very much alive dog. Honestly, she’s fine. Yes she’s effed up but also she’s fine. I think it’s hard for me to be positive right now because I haven’t felt physically well since October and it’s making me extra doom and gloom. So melodramatics it is.

Still, when I’m laying in bed being emo about the whole situation and I’ll look over and Hallow will just be there being Hallow… thrashing her soccer ball, rolling around like an idiot, and I’ll feel so silly because it’ll remind me that Hallow’s default emotions are: 🤪🎉☺️🎃😏💃😍💅

Seriously the damn dog is fine I gotta get over myself

just a pattern i've noticed with polls. if the question is asking about a trait/behavior that can be construed as negative or carries negative connotations. more likely than not, dean will win that poll. it's not the fault of the poll authors, and people can vote however they want. i'm just saying that i see people jump to associate dean and "bad" things a lot, even if there is no real association.

I just showed my cousin the picture of mike nesmith’s giant fucking ass and she replied in a monotone voice: “oh. that’s… cool. that’s… so real.”

[multi-lefaiye]

but yeah something something like... i definitely support including content warnings as much as possible, even ones that might be particularly unusual, but it's equally important to consider the impact of listing certain things as warnings.

like that meme of "can you trigger tag lesbians" i've seen before. like... i don't mean this at all in an insulting way, but if any group of people simply existing causes you so much discomfort that you ask people to provide content warnings for their existence, whether in fiction or otherwise.... that's something you really need to unpack and work through. because that very *very* easily steers rapidly into outright bigotry, intentional or otherwise, and working through that discomfort is the first step to unlearning that sort of thing.

hi I like yelling silly little life updates into the silly little void so here we go

I'm leaving for my internship thing on Monday (slay) and my last three weeks have consisted of 1. Finals (best semester since i started college thank u curves and nice teachers for boosting me), 2. Socializing, 3. Medical appointments (my eyes have gotten worse but I'm good otherwise) and 4. Prepping for my trip

And. This past week. I have had a cold, of all things, which is not good timing because I'm trying to finalize and get stuff done and was not understanding why I couldn't focus AND I was on my period but now it's a bit better I have entered the "expelling fluids" phase where I feel fine but the symptoms persist. Chilling.

So trip prep has included setting up my new laptop because the other broke during finals week, the keyboard started malfunctioning and the repair date was past when I would leave so new laptop ended up being the only option (which is nice) but I have to manually set up all my bookmarks still because I forgot my Firefox sync password and that will take a couple hours probably (last I went through and organized them it took a whole day)

And then excessive amounts of laundry that are still not done, realizing I lack more than 1 field work outfit and having to go to REI too many times to finish the pack list. Although a closet clean out was done and I'm satisfied with where the personal style development is headed I like my clothes.

But that's done so now I just have to. Pack.

And then my travel request for a conference got approved (!!) When it was expected to take until like, July so now I'm trying to finalize and coordinate stuff earlier than expected! But that is welcome that is good.

And I also got accepted to Job B which doesn't actually pay but is very few hours so I'm doing the tutoring and the mentoring both and hopefully not going insane! Might drip volunteering if I need to which reminds me I need to email them! okay!

actually i'm going to take a moment to not be snarky and just quietly say that as fun as it is to rag on tiktok swifties and as sad as we all are that taylor doesn't really come on tumblr anymore, there are many fans on tiktok that are actually lovely and devoted and very deserving of the love and attention they receive from taylor and when some of them are inevitably chosen for meet&greets etc during tour i really don't want to see people on here acting unkind or cruel about it

[marinedecoder]

well with Smyths adding the watercolour and create RH dolls to their site, i'm noticing an unfortunate trend in with of the colour and create style dolls aren't making it to the uk.

let me know if you can spot the trend in the missing girlies. i'll give you a hint, the reason they're missing likely starts with R and ends with Ism :/

submissions are weird cause when you look at this table it doesnt look like a lot beyond it being a long time but those six rejections had me feeling like i was dragging myself through mud

[maureensmistress]

any other wlw experience this weird thing when you see a beautiful woman where half of you is just so glad she exists and half of you can't get over how much you look like a disgusting bridge troll next to her and you end up hornysad instead of just horny?

I was having a rough night so I went to my favorite funny website IsMercuryInRetrograde.com

I’m not a huge believer in astrology, but the website only has two pages:

If it’s in retrograde it says yes, which feels weirdly validating.

If it’s not in retrograde it just says “No, something else must be bumming you out,” which always gives me a little chuckle.

Fun silly website. Yay.

Except this time

YES. SOMETHING ELSE IS BUMMING ME OUT.

The fact that unless I lock myself in a room with only pre-written or pre-recorded material that I’ve already read or watched and know is safe I CANNOT GO TWELVE FUCKING HOURS WITHOUT HEARING ABOUT THIS FUCKING WAR.

It’s killing me. There are no breaks. I open any website or social media app and it’s an immediate bombardment of info about the war. I go watch a YouTube video and then there’s a fundraiser at the end.

I flip through channels and see news about an antisemitic attack or a bombing in Gaza or Rafah.

I leave notifications on and get a text from a friend who sees a “rape is resistance” sticker on her walk home from school.

I go to look for pride merch and see watermelon merch mixed in as if war is some kind of gay accessory. I look through a fandom tag and see cartoon characters in a kids cartoon drawn with Palestinian flags.

It’s fucking endless. It’s insane. I just wanted a few days without having to think about all of it so I could recharge and I haven’t even been able to go a continuous 12 hour stretch without something or someone shoving the whole thing in my face.

It’s not healthy to live like this. I already have PTSD. And I’m trying with all my might not to retreat fully within myself but this is fucking killing me.

And I am someone who is pro peace and pro ceasefire and pro Palestinian welfare and anti-Likud but also anti-antisemitism. I do nothing but promote interfaith and intercultural organizations devoted to fostering peace. I want this war over.

And yet I’m fucking stuck in this perpetual hellhole of awful news and constant imagery about war and death and antisemitism and Palestinian suffering. And it’s too much. Why can’t I even go 12 hours. It’s killing me.

The fucking mercury in retrograde website‽ YES. SOMETHING ELSE IS BUMMING ME OUT AND ITS YOU.
