duct tape can't fix me

so i'm a chick. i love music. its my life. i love to sing. and dance. and act. and just BE ON STAGE. but that doesn't necessarily mean that i'm good at it. i try to be tough but i'm actually pretty fragile. i need people. but they don't need me.

The way that 5000 Trump supporters and Klan members got drowned out during a really bad storm when they were gonna march in DC... and they had to seek shelter in the- wait for it-

The African American Smithsonian.

The writing hasn't been this good and pro-Black since Charlie got Kirked 🤣 But seriously, like... Imagine! Imagine marching in your hatred and fearmongering, having to seek shelter bc even nature rebuked your presence, AND you had to seek aid in a place where the people you hate... STILL gave you shelter. It couldn't be more obvious.

people foolishly dismiss desserts and treats as having no nutritional value when they actually are necessary for refilling your sanity stat. to prove my point please observe the emotional stability of the next person you meet who doesnt let themselves ever eat any form of dessert

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

“But homeless people commit crimes!” I have a very hard time believing they commit crimes while asleep.

[ghost-cassette]

You know who do commit crimes in their sleep? Billionaires

the wrong people in this world are unlearning shame

psa: 'hey guys remember to be nice to people and try to be sensitive if you can :)'

gentle soul with debilitating anxiety: 'oh no do they mean me am i a jerk? is this me???? should i have apologized to that waiter for pouring soup in my lap? ahghghghghghhg i'm so bad at social cues'

the most obtuse and self-righteous person on the planet: 'you are intruding on my god-given right to harass strangers for no reason because you don't have trauma (broke a bone in third grade) like i do'

silently letting the barista give you the type of milk that makes your stomach hurt will not help them emotionally later in the day against the person that will verbally berate them for like breathing a little too weird
