I have been on this site for damn near 20 years and still get confused with hashtag usage. We don’t use them at all. We make them funnier than the actual post. We tag a few relevant things like #lgbtqia+ or show names. But we never. Ever. Use them like people on Meta platforms.

Today at my work someone changed the office computer screensaver to a sloth because it’s basically too slow to use. So now when everyone walks past the computer room there is a sloth staring them down. Three people have been scared by it so far.

OH, someone also threw ass so hard while using the bathroom that they knocked the toilet off the wall at work today.

“Let go or be dragged”

“Let go or be dragged.” I saw it on a cute little pink and white Pinterest graphic. It had been a long day. I had spent the last week catching up on work that I missed while on vacation. My HVAC was going out; it was 80 degrees in the house. In stereotypical ADHD fashion, I hyper-focused on things that could have waited and forgot to eat or drink. I let the things I could not control impact my ability to be in the moment and take care of myself. Sometimes when you’re really good at putting out fires for others, it gets too easy to ignore the heat coming from your own flames.

When I saw the graphic, I was outside smoking my worries away, watching them leave my mind and lungs in a hazy blur mixed with pollen in the wind. I scrolled past the graphic and then scrolled back up. I clicked on the image and made it bigger. I was staring down the words on my phone screen, waiting for them to tell me what to do. Why did I scroll back up to this simple picture? I see tons of quotes and inspirational things on the internet; why did this one stand out? I found myself setting the phone down and closing my eyes—rolling the words around on my tongue. Let go or be dragged. Let go or be dragged.

My first interpretation of the phrase ended up being, “If I don’t let this go, I will be dragged down by it. Learning how to let go is an important life skill. Letting go of things will let me go further in life because I won’t feel bogged down.” I saved the graphic to my phone and went back to smoking, deciding that learning to let go of things must be of some importance to my subconscious self. Maybe I was holding onto something too tightly and just had not realized it yet.

I took another long drag from my joint, then closed my eyes again. I tried to focus on Olivia Rodrigo singing to me about coming unraveled after realizing no one can save her or be the cure for her mental health. I realized she is trying her best and giving it her all, but she’s still not able to let go of the things that haunt her. Just a few weeks ago, she had released a love song so dreamy that the music video is set in the Palace of Versailles. My heart breaks for her. I remember when I thought someone else’s love could save me from myself, too.

I find myself opening my camera roll and looking at the graphic again. Let go or be dragged. A new interpretation of the saying is forming in my mind: “If you do not let go of me, I will drag you where I need to be. Nothing can stop me except for me.” It occurs to me that we all have things that we cannot let go of. There are things I dislike about myself, moments in time I wish I could go back and redo. There are some people I would love harder and some people I would never meet if given the chance. That isn’t how life works, though. No matter how hard we try, there are some things we cannot let go of. The real challenge is learning to thrive in spite of what we are dragging with us.

Why did I stop on this simple graphic? I still don’t know, and maybe I never will. I decided to let it go because not everything has to have meaning. For a moment, I tried to decide which interpretation I liked better. People aren’t meant to live in the binary, though. We need to be willing to let go of the things that are holding us back and capable of moving forward with confidence and grace despite the things we cannot change. I can breathe freely by letting go and by accepting the dark parts of me, or I can be dragged down by it all.

I choose to be free.

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

There was definitely something very weird about them, she decided.  Aziraphale bowed again. “So glad to have been of assistance,” he said.  “Thank you,” said Anathema, icily.  “Can we get on?” said Crowley. “Goodnight, miss. Get in, angel.“  Ah. Well, that explained it. She had been perfectly safe after all.

The people that read the book or watched season 1 of Good Omens but thought their feelings for each other came out of nowhere amaze me. What did you think "two consenting bicycle repairmen" meant? I had never heard the term before when I read the book so I googled it. Anathema Device felt safe with them for more than one reason.
