#just to see you smile

"Flying up to 2,500 miles from the US and Canada where they breed, all the way down to the forests in central Mexico where they hibernate, the monarch's migratory pattern is the most highly evolved of any known species of their kind. That's funny, cause they never heard about how I would walk, climb, jump, and swim to the ends of the earth just to see you smile.. but I wouldn't stop there, I would make your heart flutter tricks around butterflies."

In any and every way possible, I would have you lost in the moment something awful - eUë

When you said time was all you really needed I walked away and let you have your space 'Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly As the tears I saw rollin' down your face

You guys are commenting on the fics you read right? You’re at least leaving kudos on the Astarion smut and the pairs that have less than 20 fics for them too? You’re bookmarking stories you really like that are still being updated and ones that haven’t been touched in over a year right?

You know that even the smallest interactions are like cocaine to fic writers right? You understand how important a string of emoji hearts left behind on chapter at three am is right?? Right????

You’re treating AO3 like a community and not a content factory….right?

Tim McGraw - Standing Room Only

So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would like to talk about the latest album from Country Music Superstar Tim McGraw. The new album is titled "Standing room only" and was released on Friday August 25th, 2023. But before we dive into the new 13 track album, let's talk about some of career of Tim first.

Songs we may remember from Tim are hits like "Don't take the girl", "It's your love" with Faith Hill, & "Just to see you smile". Other big hits are "Live like you were dying", "Where the green grass grows", & "I like it, I love it". But before we dive too far off track, let's talk about the new album up next.

There are a lot of good songs on this new project. Tim even co-wrote 1 song on this new CD. Songs you should check out include "Hold on to it", "Standing room only" which is the title track, & "Paper umbrellas" sounds like an old school song to me. Other songs you might want to check out are "Fool me again", "Small town king", & "Beautiful hurricane". "Cowboy junkie", which is an upbeat song in my opinion "Nashville CA/L.A. Tennessee" featuring Lori McKenna, & "Some songs change your world". But here are the true standouts in my opinion from the new album "Remember me well", "Her" is my song for Krysta on the project, & "Letter from Heaven". Let's see the rest of the track list now.

Track list.

Hold on to it.

Standing room only.

Paper umbrellas.

Remember me well.

Hey whiskey.

Her.

Fool me again.

Small town king.

Beautiful hurricane.

Cowboy junkie.

Nashville CA/L.A. Tennessee

Some songs change your world.

Letter from Heaven.

And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this album a 4.5 out of 5 stars. There are a lot of good songs on this new CD. Hopefully Tim gets a lot of playtime with songs from this new album. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

Prompt 177

Now Dan is no coward. He’s not. 

But this stupid child body does have an effect on his reactions to things and honestly it’s a horrible thing that’s too small and too weak for him to use all his abilities. He could barely manage a fireball if he concentrated, yet everything caught fire with a mere outburst! His control was utterly gone, and a tantrum resulted in having to wear a stupid child leash backpack. 

It wasn’t like he was really a child, and it wasn’t like he’d get lost or some stupid shit that Danny would insist. Ugh, this isn’t even fair, technically he was older than him yet was stuck in a smaller body that he kept tripping over! 

Urgh, he’s even insisting on rewarding ‘good behavior’ and shit- must have talked to Jazz or something- because… Oh. No he wants the constellation bear, give! His star bear now, no takes back and, urgh, stupid baby body! 

Well, on the other hand, it’s utterly hilarious how much Danny sputters whenever he calls him Mom, not to mention strangers’ utter befuddlement. He ignores how Danny seems to be trying his best to live up ro the title. 

But! As he was saying, he’s no coward! He’s also not an idiot though, and having no control over his powers isn’t exactly a good thing. It’s really not a good thing when there’s a murderous-looking hero that he thinks he might have maimed in the future- which they apparently remember- staring down at him. So, he has to call in the big guns to fix this. 

“Mom, there’s a creepy fruitloop staring at me!” “There’s WHAT?!” Hah. Take that hero he doesn’t remember the name of.

What a silly thing to make me think of them. They collected State quarters and would always ask to see my quarters. I always thought it was cute, and idiotically never told them that. But now every time I see a state quarter I see their smile, happy that they found another state quarter.
