Hold myself up and love my scars

It’s not where it goes, it’s where it can lead you to. Adrian, 30s, Europe. Just a bunch of stuff I like. RIP my rat son

Kinda funny how being queer brings out the queerness in the people around you.

My best friend who has been straight married for years and who has only ever had crushes on guys in the 30 years we’ve known each other told me last month how great her new boss (lesbian woman) is and how she’s questioning whether or not she might be into women too.

My favorite coworker who has only ever officially been involved with (horrible) men casually told me a while ago that she’s actually bi and has been with women and wouldn’t mind trans people of of all varieties either. Which could mean nothing.

I wonder if I’m socially contagious 🤭 Let’s see who’s next 👀

Okay so my parents (who are my landlords) want to look into installing an AC in my apartment which is neat of course but also unexpected. Im also not nearly done paying off the new windows that they had installed two years ago.

Also mom is way quicker and more pragmatic than me. I’d take stuff like that super slow cause it’s a big change and you have to talk to strangers and have them in your home and all that. She’ll be like “yeah we have the okay from the homeowner association so here’s a phone number of a company, call them right now and schedule it for next week if possible”. Which of course has its pros. But help slow down please.

I’m so mad in the best possible way right now. I accidentally bought the wrong scar tape when shopping scar care stuff before surgery. I meant to get silicone tape cause that’s what’s been proven to work. Instead I got some normal-looking tape with copper and zinc in it that supposedly creates micro currents that help scars heal better.

Frankly, the description sounds like it comes from an esoteric website that looks like it was created in the 90s. Like utter overpriced bullshit. But hey, I had nothing to lose and at least it was by the renowned company and also had good ratings.

I just took the current tape off after the recommended seven days. It’s the first time I did the whole seven days cause I got interrupted by blood blisters before or didn’t clean the area properly so the tape wouldn’t stick long enough.

And I’m so mad but the scars are so much smoother. On the outside of the right incision the scar was a bit raised, it looked like a keloid scar. It’s way less raised now. And on the left I had a crater, almost like a big hole cause that’s where the incision opened. And that is gone almost completely.

I mean. Maybe my body just decided to hurry up with healing at the exact right time for it to look like the tape worked. Or maybe it’s just a temporary mechanical effect cause the scar was evened out by the pressure of the tape or something.

So yeah, that’s pretty funny. I have to take a break from that tape for a day now where I use the silicone tape instead. But I’ll try this mystery tape again after that. Partly because it’s less of a hassle. You slap it on and it’s there for a week. With the silicone strips you gotta change them every day and they also like to come off.

“Men are like this and women are like this and they’re soooo different from each other” sounds more and more stupid each day to me as someone who successfully infiltrated both camps. In the group chat for my best friend’s bachelorette party we discussed what we’d wear at the wedding. You know. Like women do.

You’ll never guess what is being discussed in the group chat for my brother’s bachelor party right now.

i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.

What monster covers a painted lady house in landlord white?!

I dont even want to imagine the horrors they did to the interior

[niavirrivain]

Okay, so, I'm not sure what the complaint here is, personally - I am confident it could be improved with more varied whites, but I also quite like the look as is.

As such, I desire elaboration on the issue.

Supermassive Black Hole lends itself to soundtracking one thing and one thing alone and that is a strip club. Supermassive Black Hole is the most perfect strip club rock song I've ever heard. I've heard rock songs *about* strip clubs that feel less suited to a strip club than Supermassive Black Hole. I have heard songs where sex is explicitly described in the lyrics that feel less sexy than Supermassive Black Hole. Supermassive Black Hole is a song so disgustingly, flagrantly, enticingly slutty that I sometimes feel legitimately shocked that it was made by a band that most people make fun of for sounding like if Radiohead sold out after their first album. It is a crowning achievement in stripper music that may never be topped in our lifetime. It is best known for soundtracking the scene in the first Twilight movie where they play baseball.

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

Also the new linguistic quirk of just saying “it was 2020” as like. The full end of a story. You say “it was 2020” and everyone knows what you mean.

“I was going to get my masters degree but then it was 2020, so yeah”

“I was cast in a play and then it was 2020”

“my boyfriend proposed but then it was 2020”

"My baby was born in 2020, and then (two weeks later to be precise), it was 2020."

Actual truth from my actual life, I feel like I ought to use this more.
