#my head my fuckin head it's going over my heels #I'VE GOT IT SO BADDDD I'VE GOT IT SO SO SO SO SO FUCKING BADDDDDDD #they're 2 hours away so we're video calling and playing portal and keeping each other company #and their big brown eyes and their smile and their laugh #and it feels so comfy just sharing space with them that way and so easy and my brain is still like 'what if they don't ACTUALLY like me'#but they dooooo and they're gonna come see me at the end of the month and we'll see what happens after that #but I've got it so fucking bad man I'm toast I'm cooked stick a fork in me I'm burning up to my cheeks blushing all over #it's been so long since liking someone has made me feel physically ill like literally sick like victorian era sick #sighing all day random unfounded melancholy bc what if it doesn't work out and then melancholy because i miss them #and then feeling flushed all the time thinking about them #I am SICK with LONGING and YEARNING #we've met in person twice we've been chatting for a month and it's only felt like Uh Oh It's Something Real for two weeks?!#the math isn't mathing. why do I wanna fall in love so fast so badly I'm terrified I'm mortified #I'm so chill on the actual 'define this as a relationship' part because that's a very high bar for me that has to be deliberate #but my FEELINGS?! separate from the practical and nuanced complexities of an actual relationship? my heart #feels like it's gonna explode out of my chest whenever i see him smile or hear him laugh #the distance is good in its own way so we can focus on communicating and getting to know each other and understanding #each other's needs for taking space. but I just want them here next to me so bad. i want more time with them so bad #it's scary and i know it scares them too!! we're both like Hey what the FUCK are you doing getting past my internal security system #but at the same time we're like yes let's camp let's beach let's road trip let's stargaze let's have some hopes at least til summer ends #beyond that who knows? who knows how we'll feel about each other. but i don't think either of us can see or guess where this ends #and that's scary. you might be the next big thing even if not the forever thing. I might let you close enough to change my life #like. my god. that would be a good timeline to be in. i daresay i hope it's the timeline I'm in.#i haven't been this happy about someone in years. i have so many questions and things i wanna know and learn #but all of that— everything it really takes to make decisions on emotional capacity #commitment - expectations - communication needs - all of that takes time and certainly moves slower than the pace of my feelings #but man. my feelings make me want to be patient. my feelings want this to last long enough for me to find out.#i feel like i've been completely knocked the fuck over #(he uses he/they)

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

Heard a car horn today that was tuned to a fifth. Fucked up, kinda delightful

wuggen

I want people to understand how jarring this was. Most car horns are either a single tone or two tones somewhere in the neighborhood of a minor third apart:

Pretty normal rush hour sounds, yeah? But this thing sounded something like this:

Fucked up! Didn't even realize it was a car horn at first, I didn't know what the fuck it was! It was weird as hell!

unexpected sounds can really shift your whole perception of a space.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.

dailymanners

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.

who up perceiving and reacting to stimulus

found out we both have the same favorite superhero so I sent him a video of a strip tease that led to a costume reveal underneath with the WO-WOMP WOMP WOMP WAAAAAH WOMP sound effect and then a brief day-in-the-life documentary with the dark side jazz music in the background

here's me explaining to him that I couldn't see or breathe but that's what superheroes do

i think i like him

Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.

Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you

snkrfnd

Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
