“Dancing in The Moonlight” by King Harvest sung and performed on the piano. Some laughter and chatter in the background.

no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons

the best thing about the wlw fandom is not ever having to actually put any effort into finding shows with wlw in them because if some gay shit goes down trust and believe there will be gifs on your dash 347 times within 10 seconds of it happening

there is no such thing as unskilled labour

cryoverkiltmilk

I’ll keep saying it.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UNSKILLED LABOR.

THERE IS ONLY UNDERVALUED LABOR.

“You see, no labor is really menial unless you’re not getting adequate wages.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee is CURRENTLY tallying calls asking for confirmation to be delayed until after the election. I just called; it took 15 seconds. CALL: 202-224-5225. If you are outraged that they are ramming through a Supreme Court justice although millions of people have ALREADY voted for who they want to select that justice, please take 15 seconds RIGHT NOW and call to say that you want to DELAY any selection.

** If you get a message that their mailbox is full - try again immediately; most people are getting staffers by their second try**

Please, folks!

Käthe Butcher (German, b. 1990) – A Hug in the Garden, 2020.

As widespread lockdowns swept the globe earlier this year in response to the threat of COVID-19, intimacy became fraught. For artist Käthe Butcher, the loss of an embrace or casual peck on the cheek was incredibly difficult. This desire for connection culminated in “A Hug In The Garden,” an emotional rendering of two women holding each other. (Source)

Movie recommendation I feel like you might like is “portrait of a lady on fire” I only saw the last three quarters of it with my girlfriend but it seemed like something you would like.

Portrait was actually the last movie the wife and I caught in theaters before everything shut down... and good read on you part, I loved it. It was a beautifully shot and expertly crafted film.

It stuck with me enough so that a week or so after seeing it, I made this...

Thanks for thinking of me.
