@carlos-in-glasses you mean to imply it's WEDNESDAY? No wayyyyyy?? In this weird timeline where supposedly it's the first Wednesday of the year, have some of First Aid's chapter 5 possibly getting published tomorrow or next week &lt;3 warning: discussion about drugs

The hugs from his dad feel different now. They’re the same height. His father grips tighter, like he tries to hold onto something inside TK instead of just his body.

“TK, you know I hate reminding you, but—”

TK’s chest tightens, happiness squeezed right out. He pushes out of the embrace, twists his own arms around his torso. “Can we please not get into it?”

“We’ve made a deal,” his dad says calmly. “I don’t go through your stuff, I don’t ask you for a drug test, but I need you to be more responsible. I want you home by midnight.”

“Midnight? I’m twenty-two, not twelve, Dad!” TK feels like stomping his feet but instead walks around the kitchen island to get more distance between them.

Owen raises his hands, palms up. “Oh, I'm aware. But I’m your parent and I take your health seriously.”

“It wasn’t—I was dehydrated, yes. I took a bit of speed at a party. But it was the first time I’d ever tried it and I paid the price when I fainted, didn’t I?”

His dad rubs his forehead. “TK.” 

“What? I keep on telling you that it’s not a big deal. I’m not a junkie—”

“TK—”

“No, Dad,” TK cries. “You either drug test me daily or you believe me.”

Owen slumps against the kitchen island, looking at him with concern and something close to defeat. “I believe you. I just want to make sure you’re okay. I feel like you haven’t been telling me stuff lately.”

“What stuff?”

“About your paramedic program; about your friends; your life. About why you don’t seem happy anymore.” Owen’s hands tighten on the counter.

‘Why now?’, TK wants to hurl at him. Why does it always take something significant for his parents to care?

“I’m okay,” TK says, pushing all of his anger and misery into a corner of his roiling stomach. Over the past few years, he's managed to avoid fights with his parents and this is feeling awfully too close to one. He forces a smile. He has no room to be anything but a perfect son if he wants to be treated like a son at all. I tag whoever wants to join &

Finished reading "The Rachel Incident" today. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for fans of Sally Rooney.

Then I started reading The Magpie Society but now sadly suspect that this book may be... quite bad?

I always feel so guilty rereading books when I have so many unread ones on my shelves (many of them gifted to me), but I really, really want to reread Night Film right now. Should I?

I truly believe that your and Marlowe are on an equal playing ground. Both of your interpretations of the Boys are spot on in my eyes.

You flatter me so 😭❤️ But I beg to differ, I shall always be in awe at Marlowe’s way of writing, just superb, just phenomenal <3 but thank you so much my lovely Gal c: the hardest thing I would say as a writer is wondering if you are portraying the characters correctly, I worry a lot of the time that I go off script with the turtles, thank you for the kind words <33333

I am so sorry to bother you with this stupid question, but Bisan has asked for a complete stop in economic activity. Can I still donate to help Palestinians or is it better to avoid any transactions for the week ? Thank you so much for what you're doing

hello anon. don't apologise, you're a breath of fresh air after the recent visitors in my inbox. I think a slightly more accurate description of Bisan’s ask is to stop or minimise all economic activity not in direct support of Palestine. Now more than ever, I would encourage people to donate to escape funds for Palestinians, to direct aid organisations like CareforGaza and the PCRF, and to buy e-sims as they’re running low.

Below I’ve compiled a list of resources below but this is definitely just a small sample size of what you can do to help during this strike. This post here is an extremely comprehensive resource that I’d recommend you have a look at.

credible organisations that are doing work on the ground in Palestine:

Care for Gaza:non-profit charity that distributes money, food and other resources directly to families in Gaza.They maintain a regular presence on Twitter and Instagram. You can donate to them via Paypal here.

PCRF / Palestine Children's Relief Fund: non-profit organisation that distributes essential food and resources to families in Gaza. Most recently, they delivered 30 tons of vital medicine, and 82,000 pounds of flour.

Medical Aid For Palestinians: deploys medical teams to treat Palestinians suffering under Israel's malicious bombardments.

Donate e-sims to Palestine: massive post with tutorials and relevant links, with discount codes included in the post and in the replies.

help people leave palestine (donate what you can)

Help a Family Evacuate Gaza (GoGetFunding)

Save Sanaa and her Family (Gofundme)

Save Amjad Saher and his family (Gofundme)

Help a family of 13 escape Gaza (Gofundme)

every time i feel like i haven’t done enough things to be proud of myself during the day there’s the voice of louise glück that emerges softly in my ears and says if you missed a day there’s always the next and if you missed a year it didn’t matter the hills weren’t going anywhere the thyme and rosemary kept coming back.. and i feel like life is beautiful and kind to me again

You can tell by the reaction people have to Penelope asking Colin to kiss her whether they ever experienced being a wallflower/insecure fat girl at a party or not.

Because you say it's pathetic, I say it's relatable, no matter how desperate it may sound. If you've never had your insecurity eat you up from the inside (but also the outside, as Portia literally told Penelope that she was delusional for thinking she was gonna find a husband in her third season out) to the point you genuinely, wholeheartedly believe no one will ever love you unless you physically change, then obviously the scene is off to you.

But Pen literally told Colin she felt stupid for thinking she's gonna find a husband (she just started believing what the ton and her mother said) and that she knows no one would want to kiss her. And for a romance girl like her, do you think the thought of never having a kiss, never experiencing that passion, would be easy to bear? I can so relate to being the most romantic of the bunch but also being the loneliest and aching for physical and emotional romantic love.

She is so vulnerable and so real in that moment but y'all gotta bitch about it because it doesn't make sense to you. It doesn't make sense to me either because she's gorgeous, but that's the thing - no one ever told her she's gorgeous and actually meant it. And even if they did, there must be 10 more people who didn't that keep that insecurity in her, specifically her sisters and her mother.

Nicola said this one was for the wallflowers, and it truly is, so if you find scenes like this cringe, you just don't relate to the character enough to feel it and recall moments when you had the same thoughts as her.

it’s crazy that a musketeers gifset that i didn’t even tag any source blogs got 250 notes in 24 hours while a set from anatomy of fall took 4 days to get the same amount of notes

I feel like some Fall Out Boy songs sound stupid until you listen to them in a very specific state of turmoil and then you’re like oh I get it hahaha yeah cheers Patrick yeah I’m gonna need u to sing that for me fifteen more times
