This app is so different now, hope everyone is well! I missed it here and need to be on more

Found my way to this app again, still alive and thriving if anyone is out there to hear still. ❤️

i HAVE to stop looking at shelter cats until i'm moved but BUNNY

returnsandreturns

bunny is still there and apparently hasn't been adopted because she's very skittish and shy but so AM I

i assume they don't put cats on layaway but i might go this weekend to see if i can say hi, at least. and then bring her home on, like, june 5th when i'm all moved and settled if she's still there.

today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned dante’s sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, dante’s inferno dante, who died in 1321.

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold dante’s exile.

The objectively funniest part of this is actually that the city that holds his remains, Ravenna, refused to give his remains back. This was a ploy from florence to have his remains moved back for the tourist money and its been ongoing for a long time. Florence had a fake tomb built in the city to trick people into visiting, and have tried to force the return of the remains.

His actual caretakers have been very steadfast in keeping them hidden, moved, or generally out of reach to respect his choice in life to never, ever, ever return to florence, even when he was first offered the chance to return. This is at this point an almost millenium long feud that florence is really, really mad about losing

From “City of Death,” part two. One of the most famous scenes in all of Doctor Who.

listen to me LISTEN to me I always thought that people parading around "it gets better" was stupid and corny and useless to me bc I'm like nuh UH your circumstances can definitely get worse and often times will but the SECRET that the LIBS (<- this is a joke) won't tell you is that when they say it gets better you are the it in that statement. YOU get better

to my shock and honestly annoyance life is actually like a learning process the entire time you live it and i don't mean you get better as in one day your depression magically disappears I just mean experience+survival means you get BETTER. at being a PERSON. Things don't suck less in your twenties it's just that you get way more talented and handling things sucking!!! You start to learn what independence you have and what resources you can rely on and how to ask for help you just!! of course things seemed like the end of the world in high school you haven't already been there done that and got the tshirt! and sure it's not entirely true that you can do whatever you want forever but whooooaaa nelly the older you get the more you know both what you want and what you can do and when those overlap!! to any youths reading this to any internet old bitches reading this you have time and im so excited for you

You get more experience and you also get more autonomy and eventually you will grow into a position where you both know who you are and have the freedom to be that person.

When you're a kid you get dragged along to all sorts of shit - or you're required to be in school, where you have very limited power and very little ability to enact change or otherwise get your needs met.

As an adult you have a lot more power to go "Hmm. Being in this situation will be a miserable experience for me - not unlike sitting in a nest of fire ants. I will simply Not Do That."
