The things she most wanted to tell him would lose their meaning the moment she put them into words.

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.

I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy

Another adorable story has been added.

I was privileged to spend time with these beautiful, intelligent creatures for two days and though I would like to have only positive things to say, despite the research we did, we still saw questionable practices after the larger tour group left (the use of some chains and one barbed fence) at what was supposed to be an "ethical" elephant sanctuary visit. I like many travelers now seek humane elephant visits and most people know not to ride elephants, visit places with small enclosures or seek out elephants that do tricks, but there's further to go from here. Visiting made me ask more questions and evaluate my own ethical views related to animal treatment which will differ from person to person. Despite the negative, it was an incredible life experience. Here I am with an older elephant as she eats breakfast. #asiatrip #tourism #animals #elephants #asianelephant #thailand #thaielephant #animalrights #ethicaltourism #chiangmai #tourist #travel #adventure #elephantsanctuary #explore

Not to be shady...

But, Alaska's "brand" is being unpolished, whiney, gimmicky, and I believe it lacks a distinct personality or strong elements of storytelling. I get it, she has the most wins and I find her super entertaining, too (I've seen her live and she's all kinds of amazing) but were those wins deserved? Does she really have a compelling enough overall presentation to win? I'm not sure. DISCLAIMER: I am so Team Katya that I know there's a bias here, but just think that all of the Alaska needs to win "because" she deserves to win isn't a good enough consideration of the aim of choosing an innovative and deserving new drag superstar, especially an all stars season that's already been so confused by this twist.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Such a lovely place with friendly, welcoming, and helpful people. Here's some shots from their biggest night market (including a plinko-style game, stinky tofu, and a dog that's more fashionable than me). #taiwan #kaohsiung #travel #market #nightmarket #backpacking #asiatrip #asia #food #dogs #explore (at 瑞豐夜市 Ruei Feng Night Market)

I’m SCREAMING why wasnt this in the episode????

It's incredible what a connection I felt to the rest of the crowd for the last @motioncitysoundtrack in Tokyo even though we are from opposite sides of the world and speak different languages, the music made me feel like I was home. I don't think I'll ever find a band so worthy of my support and admiration again and it's been fun to see the progression from the first warped tour shows to later albums. I wish all of the fine individuals in the band all the best with their future projects, goals and dreams. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu! It's been a great 10 years for me and I'm sure my kids will grow up listening to you guys and hearing stories about your shows! #motioncitysoundtrack #mcs #solongfarewelltour #livemusic #japan #clubquattro #traveling #favouriteband #farewelltour #thefuturefreaksmeout #fangirl #punkrock #asiatrip #tokyo (at 渋谷 Club Quattro)
