Happy Day

She/Her, I like frogs, my fav color is pink, I hate lawns with a passion

[passingthruoldbonesimmadeofclay]

You told me my brown eyes were like pools of honey and then have the audacity to be surprised when I say I’m in love with you 🙄

[inkskinned]

the watermelons were 30% off, and i thought about buying one, and thought about the price of gas. watermelons are my favorite. my birthday is the first of july - for years now, instead of a cake, we stick candles in a chilled watermelon. since it's not my birthday and i only get paid monthly: i open and close my budgeting app.

they're going to restart student loan payments soon. did we ever get another stimulus check? it's been hot in the northeast, hottest-on-record. it went up to 99 today, in may. droughts are coming.

but.

i get in my car and drive for two hours just to see my family. we share breakfast on small plates. later my mother and i fan ourselves on the couch while she watches a video i made.

one of my childhood friends just became an aunt. another one just got engaged. the stormfront is moving in and all the leaves are folding over themselves, impatient in the wind. the world is thirsty here, the birds are panting. i watch my neighbor come outside and set out plates of water for them, humming in her light way. two weeks ago, i sent out a text to my friends - wanna skive off work and come to the beach? and got oh fuck yes. i took my meetings from my car, blaming internet connectivity. we laughed around picnic foods and went in water too cold for feeling. i lost a scrunchie in the waves that crashed over me; spent the next week shaking sand out of my hair, giggling.

i pierced my ear again, just for fun. at a bar afterward, i tried to take pictures in the bathroom. a girl saw me and asked about it. she demanded i pose for her so she could get the right picture for me. there's tumbleweeds here, and i keep picking ticks off of my fawn-colored greyhound. i'm babysitting an australian shepherd this week; the two of them are sitting side-by-side, faces turned to catch the wind of my single box fan that's working overtime. i text people about swamp coolers because i grew up in the south. later i get a text saying oh before i forget, here's that recipe you asked about.

i'm full of anger and fear and loathing. the air is sticky and there's tornado conditions brewing. for weeks now i feel unfocused, lazy. too tired for sense and too awake for resting.

the bartender and i make fast friends. at the bottom of my check, he writes, "thank you for being kind. you were a bright spot on a hard night."

Told my parents I was feeling more depressed than usual these past few months and Vince then. they’ve been constantly reminding me to eat. Don’t know why I was scared to tell them after all. :-)

[passingthruoldbonesimmadeofclay]

Freedom to make decisions i guess?

Thinking about that one scene from Mean Girls when Cady was homeschooled her whole life and didn't understand when teachers wouldn't let her use the bathroom in the middle of class like. How does being told what to do for your entire life affect your ability to make decisions for yourself once you graduate high school? Getting to college and realizing I could sit anywhere on the ground and eat my lunch, literally no one was stopping me, was such a trip omg. Like. I went down a different stairwell one time, found a creepy old piano and some old theater costumes, promptly left, and realized on the way out that the door had spiderwebs on it because it hadn't been used in so long. There were no signs. Nothing to stop me from being there. I could literally get up in the middle of class, drive to another state, get lunch, drive home, and no one would ask any questions.

[passingthruoldbonesimmadeofclay]

Trying to move from: I should never hurt people or make mistakes of any kind because if I do I’m a terrible person who doesn’t deserve love or forgiveness

To: I should never hurt people/try not to make mistakes, and if I do, people are much more forgiving and kind than I anticipate, and it’s perfectly human to make mistakes

What you say: I wished I’d died in the surgery two years ago and never had to burden you all

What I say: yea I know but I’m really glad you didn’t and I’m sorry you’re hurting, you’re not a burden, really

What I think: I wished you had died too so I wouldn’t have to wonder what day i was going to get a call at school and come home to you gone. I wished you had died too so I could know you were gone and safe and not hurting anymore. I wished you had died so you could die never having to depend on us because you hate depending on us, even though there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make you stop hurting.

A twitter thread by Caitlin J. Stout @CaitlinJStout from Feb 25 2021 reading,

A friend asked the other day what percentage of people I went to youth group with “deconstructed” and what percentage remained evangelical. As I thought about it, I realized that for the most part it was the kids who took their faith the most seriously who eventually walked away.

Those of us who tearfully promised that we would follow Jesus anywhere eventually followed him out the door. The Queer kids, more than anyone, learned exactly what it meant to work out our faith with fear and trembling.

They told us to read the Bible and take it seriously and then mocked us for becoming “social justice warriors.”

Now they’re warning us not to deconstruct to the point of meaninglessness.

But they took a chisel to God until he fit in a box. They “deconstructed” the concept of love until it allowed them to tolerate sexual abuse, celebrate white supremacy, and look away from kids in cages.

Some of us got to where we are because we took it all to heart. We took the most foundational elements of our faith to their natural conclusions. Folks who deconstruct evangelicalism aren’t drop-outs; they’re graduates.

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

“Your kids are not leaving the church because you didn’t train them enough.   Your kids are leaving the church because you trained them well enough to develop a sense for truth and justice.  You let them read the words of Jesus - and they got it.  And they’ve recognized that the church doesn’t seem to be interested in those words. They’re not leaving because they don’t know the truth, they’re leaving because they do.“ 

- Rhett McLaughlin

[obaewankenope]

“But they took a chisel to God until he fit into a box” is probably the RAWEST line I’ve ever read in my life. Holy shit.

A frog wrote this

[passingthruoldbonesimmadeofclay]

About love Ig

I'm a very ace person, but I think under the right circumstances I could so easily fall in love. I'm already a passionate romantic about books, trees, freakin frogs, my plants, living life in general (insert that one quote from The Outsiders about High on Life) and it would be very easy for me to translate that into loving another human so deeply, and this concerns me slightly. I guess it's the vulnerability that's scary, the knowing everything about me part, cause there's really only been one person who's that close to me and I don't think I could love them that way. Good news is I've got mah whole life to figure this out, however long this is.

[passingthruoldbonesimmadeofclay]

*in a trans-Atlantic accent* Babe, I’m in a horrid, rotten mood today, I simply can’t do it.

[blackness-by-your-side]

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[cuntybearjamboree]

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

So the other day I was eating taco bell and talking to my mom in the middle of the mall parking lot, and I say I don't think I've ever seen a gay person in [insert small town name], besides my friends. And she deadpans "we've seen three just today in the past hour at the tattoo place, the boy you said had pretty eyes? gay. The girls who were getting tattoos of their pet cats names? a lesbian couple" so apparently i'm bad at profiling ppl, which is probably good as far as judgements go. But that got me thinking, why at the tattoo shop? what is it with theater/band/art club kids bein gay a good percent of the time? like when trey had to choose between theater and basketball, it was a metaphor for bisexuality? (read on a tumblr, don't @ me). Is there something about creativity and the need for self expression that just attracts lgbtq+ people?
