The moon is much more forgiving than the garish sun

it’s honestly crazy how many ppl u meet in your early twenties who have never been in love or been in a relationship or had sex and then you’re like oh it’s actually normal and social milestones actually mean nothing bc everyone is different and has different experiences. cool!

Quick Reminder...

The COVID-19 virus has not changed

Your immune system has not changed

There is no vaccine

There is no cure

What’s Different?

Fewer government-directed restrictions

That’s literally it: fewer lockdowns, closures, and stay-at-home orders, often due to political pressure.

But COVID-19 is still here. It’s still contagious. People are still getting it. People are still dying from it. Just because it’s not as prominent in the news does not mean that this 2020 story arc has concluded!

Please

Wash your hands

Continue social distancing

Wear a face mask

Protect high-risk and vulnerable people

Self-isolate if sick, quarantine if exposed

Help flatten the curve and contain the outbreaks 

Source: I am an actual contact tracer and I just got home from a very long shift where we are having to reach out to more and more and more people as they are exposed to people with positive COVID-19 tests.

Please stay safe.

To all the girls who “Love adventures”

A trip to 7-11 at 12:am is most definitely an adventure

If y’all don’t know how to treat mundane life experiences with awe and wonder at the world then maybe it’s *you* that’s probably boring that’s all I’m sayin

Digital diary 7/3/2020:

So I got another contract, another four month job. But this feels so different. It’s a different ship, but I can expect what is to come. My last contract I was forced to quit by a domineering and harassing captain. He made me feel so incompetent and worthless, useless and a burden to the crew. Maybe I am. Maybe I don’t know what I’m doing, maybe I shouldn’t be here at all. I join on the 11th, and I’m dreading the day. I’m grateful to be getting work because I need to pay off my student loans and continue to earn my insurance/benefits. But what was once my passion for the water, what felt like freedom and joy has become nothing but chains and weights dragging me below the surface. But I don’t have a choice anymore.

Many people I was once close to, but especially my former best friend have completely left me. I feel abandoned and not good enough or too much but mostly I’m so concerned. I’m scared for her, I wonder if she is being controlled by her fiancé. She and I used to be such close friends, telling each other everything but also giving each other a reality check when needed. I told her she was in an abusive relationship and to either get significant counseling or help to get out of it. This had come from months and months of late night messaging or FaceTimes. I had been there before myself and could see the red flags. I told her that I only wanted the best for her and for her to be safe. But I don’t want to be the kind of person to cling after someone who doesn’t want me anymore. So goodbye K. I hope you’re well.

I’m struggling with my abandonment issues, some of which I didn’t even realize I had. But I’m reading psychology literature, trying to get out of my head when the thoughts pierce my fragile mental state. I’m working on DBT practices and prayer to boost my mental state. But my soul is tired, it has been so, so tired for so long. The only boosts of happiness I get are out of a tv show I use as escapism or cutting my hair shorter and shorter. I really hope this contract isn’t the one to do me in, to make me quit completely. Even though that’s all I want to do. All I want is to join a nursing program and continue the route I always thought I would be. When I thought I knew what I wanted. But I have all this debt looming over me and I just don’t have any other options. And it’s so defeating.

And I hate that I’m being so negative, so mopey and depressing. I try to have a positive outlook on life and share happiness and light and love with everyone I know. I get irritated when people don’t try to change their outlook, when they get obsessed with their darkness and angst. But some days I just don’t have the energy to smile anymore. I’ll get through this I’m sure, I’ve gotten through worse. I’m sure I’m just complaining about nothing. And in five years I’ll look back and just want to give myself a hug. But for now I’m sitting in an empty room typing on my phone desperately trying to not get sucked back into painful memories of my failures. Oh well. Tomorrow I can start again.

Imagine this with me for a moment. A guy falls asleep after drinking. He’s in line for Wendy’s because he’s needing some late night greasy food. He’s been out with his friends all night and he’s super tired. He falls asleep. An employee notices and goes inside.

They call 911.

The driver wakes up to a gentle tap on the window. He rolls it down. He’s a little confused and disoriented.

“Hi. My name is Stacy. I’m a social worker and I just wanted to make sure you are alright?”

“I just fell asleep.”

“I understand. This is my colleague, their name is Dominque. They want to go order your meal for you while we talk. What did you want?”

“A number four with a coke.”

“Would you mind pulling your car over there so we can talk? Dominique will be getting that meal for you.”

“Ok, just a second. Am I in trouble?”

“No, we just want to make sure you are safe and that everyone else on the road is safe. Can we do that together?”

“I can do that!”

After a conversation, Stacy and Dominique decide that they are pretty sure they can confirm that the driver has been drinking. They ask a lot of questions about his drinking habits. They determine that he clearly doesn’t have a drinking problem. He just rarely drinks, didn’t know his limits, and made a mistake to get behind the wheel.

After his meal, the driver is feeling much better. The social workers offer to have his car towed to his house and an Uber comes to pick him up.

In this scenario, Rayshard Brooks is still alive. He’s given compassionate and reasonable care. This is what community should look like. This is a way we could re-envision what our response could be as a society. This is what it would look like to defund the police.

Copy n pasted. Keep it going.

gotta say, the witcher has really revolutionised fantasy tv by deciding that high-waisted pants are the peak of fashion for dudes in witcherland

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

the men of the witcher are in the equivalent of our world's current craze for high waisted jeans. this is the reason why the witcher is so good, and why game of thrones failed so bad.

He-man: When I was just a baby, my twin sister was sent through a portal and I never saw her again.

Adora: That's awful, I'm so sorry. You know, when I was just a baby I was sent through a portal. I lost my family too

He-man: Wow, I'm so sorry.

Adora:.....

He-man:.....

Adora: Well I hope you find your sister!

He-man: Thanks, I hope you find your family some day!

you think you’re a lesbian.

you think you’re a lesbian, but you can’t be, right? you had a crush on that one boy that one time. you really did like him, didn’t you? he was smart, and he was popular, and your parents would like him. so you liked him too, write.

you think you’re a lesbian, and it’s four am. you’re typing “hot boys” into google and hitting go. they’re cute, you guess, but when you look at them you don’t feel anything. you don’t want them. not like you want girls.

you think you’re a lesbian. and when you tell your family they look at you funny. “but what about that boy you liked?” your mother asked. “you can’t be a lesbian, you like boys. you just haven’t met the right one.”

you think you’re a lesbian. but what if you’re wrong? what if, one day, you meet a guy and you fall in love with him? what if you really just haven’t met the right one yet? what if you’re lying to yourself?

you think you’re a lesbian, but what if you’re doing it for attention? but who would want to be a lesbian? certainly not you. not when you here them spit the word ‘lesbian’ at you like it is dirty. like you are bad.

you think you’re a lesbian. and when you tell your best friend she laughs and hugs you. “I’m proud of you.” she says. you cry with happiness. someone finally understands.

you’re a lesbian. and that’s okay. even if it’s terrifying, and even if it’s seen as a bad thing by some people, you will be okay. you are a lesbian. you are complete.

Told myself I wasn’t gonna cry watching Queer Eye this season. I lasted 29 minutes.

[lesbeinlove]

Had to pause the show for a good five minutes while I cried and processed this. This show hits you like a truck when you were expecting just light hearted fluff.
