what if we were poetry in motion

I am here for shenanigannery, strange half-poetic writing, and being upside down for my mental health. Also nature because the Transcendentalists were right about some things

did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

can i bring my ipod shuffle with me into The hole that is large enough to fit tthe population of the earth where we will all lie until we rot?

[bungerc0re]

doesn't really make a difference but we dont have electrical hookups in the holes so it wont last that long

[notahorseindisguise]

can i bring a second ipod shuffle to use after the first one has gone flat

[bungerc0re]

the holes are very big so you can bring a lot of ipod shuffles with you

[notahorseindisguise]

what about ipod touch. are the rules similar

[bungerc0re]

theres not really any rules for the hole apart from the fact you have to be in it so dont worry about that

[utopians]

duuuuuude you have GOT to come out tonight we're enacting cruelty upon those who have transgressed so badly that we can justify any act against them... and you KNOW we're interpreting our delight as moral righteousness... Yeah it's fucking crazyyyyyyy get an Uber

I decided to start a Minecraft forever world and somehow lucked out and got cherry blossoms, savannah, and grasslands all next to each other with an icy mountain off in the distance and a village nearby. I never get spawns this good.

note to you; don't ever tell me I can talk about my writing with you. It will never stop. You will get messages at two in the morning detailing insane bullshit that I've just viscerally hallucinated. You will receive fanart that makes my little squirrel brain go insane. The messages won't stop unless you ask me not to send them anymore. Send post.

[minerva-parthenos]

Oh no I have been blessed by my dear friend telling me about their writing, which brings them great joy and fulfillment in life. How will I survive this terrible conundrum I’m in

(please yap at me about your writing. I want the two am rants)

[i-love-you-very-much]

nah bro YOU live in a society. i live in a hole in the ground. not a nasty, dirty, wet hole with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and th

be me. be in severe incapacitating pain that makes it hard to do anything besides lay in bed despondently, heavily tired, and feeling like you are being stabbed. explain your symptoms to your stepfather, who automatically assumes it is caused by ✨the mold✨and then uses it to further his mold neuroses, which has been happening for MONTHS and has overturned the lives of the entire family. (In this instance, he is wrong.) ask him for pain reliever, assuming that what he gives you is just Tylenol or something, because you trust the man who has been your legal guardian for over a decade to not drug you.

take his medication, feel slowly better over the course of several hours. get random bursts of energy over the course of those several hours, and a vague buzz in the head that makes you want stimulation and also makes it hard to focus. You feel kind of strange and overly happy, but it’s probably just some combination of neurodivergence/not being in pain anymore, right?

ask to borrow the car, because your car doesn’t have plates at the moment, and can’t be driven places. Find out that you’re not actually allowed to drive, because that pain reliever he gave you? Was codeine. because obviously, everyone has codeine on hand in their medicine cabinet instead of aspirin or something. His reasoning? It’s what he had on hand, he gave you a small dose, and you don’t take it often so it’s not addictive anyways. This was only explained to you several hours after the drug was given. (In his defense, he is going through the mental illness gauntlet right now and it is messing with him and his ability to think very deeply.)

anyways. now that I actually understand what is happening in my brain I don’t like it. I am not trusting the man with medication again unless I see with my own eyes the bottle he takes it from. I also have to go take public transport to the aerial studio, which is actually normal for me and will give me time to read and write, which is good. however I do not like being drugged, even if it is mild.

[strangeboneyuriwoman]

Someone sedate this man (derogatory)

[minerva-parthenos]

Okay turns out he didn’t give me codeine he gave me cephamphetamine or something like that?? So that’s not that bad I guess????

The strongest guy in the Magnus Archives is that one guy who was so obsessed with his dog that he just walked right out of the Spiral because it was her dinnertime

[discopiranha]

This is one of my favorite episodes. Fears can't hurt you if you're chill enough. The guy who walked in a spiral for four hours and then just left because he remembered he had somewhere to be is, to me, the avatar of the entities' fear

[strangehorse]

strongest people in the magnus archives:

guy who kept the coffin of the buried in his living room and used it as a coffee table

walked out of the spiral because his dog needed dinner

the plumber who was so inattentive that the stranger put on a whole spectacle for him and he straight-up missed it all

the guy whose primary concern with the evil taxidermists was whether or not they were money laundering (they weren't)

[ace-scientist]

AND he didn’t even realize evil taxidermy was at play for the longest time because he came in like “I love and respect autistic people, of course I’m not judging eye contact”

[wizardarchetypes]

we CANNOT forget the woman that was actively being swallowed by the buried and when there was nothing she could possibly do she lied down on the ground and accepted her fate so thoroughly and with such calm that it had to barf her back up.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

it’s kinda funny bc the videos of grace hanging out w rocky is the happiest eva stratt had ever seen him. like imagine guilts been haunting you and the laws been hunting you and for decades you have no idea if it’s been all for nothing and then….. first clip you see is the scientist and a sentient rock going “this is me and my BOI ✌️”
