Longings and Cravings

Sometimes, it feels like a curse.

Those I grow to love may love me back,

But they want what I can't give.

I am a silent spectator

To the romances around me,

I don't envy their cravings.

Is it easier to forgo my longing?

Should I simply abandon all hope?

But my heart longs, the way their's craves.

Random Writing Prompts - Halloween

+ "I'm already dead."

+ "Boo!"

+ "There's a Halloween party at (character)'s house tomorrow. "

+ "Cool costume." "It’s not a costume."

+ "How did you know my name?"

▪︎ The noise was deep and unsettling.

▪︎ The car did not stop as the creature ran by.

▪︎ It was too bright to see, it was just as uncomfortable as being in total darkness.

▪︎ The laugh did not pause. There was no break for breath in its sound. Not once.

From another post…

[nepenthean-sleep]

you know what. i've always been hesitant to describe my anaphylactic food allergies as a disability because "it's just allergies" but if you look at the numerous ways this has affected my life as an adult (because everybody only talks about kids having anaphylactic allergies):

no restaurants or fast food

no store-bought food from small companies (less accountability/resources to prevent cross-contamination)

no candy or desserts (unless they are 100% homemade, which takes a lot of time and energy if you have other disabilities like i do)

no hand-washing dishes (every place i live in has to have a well-functioning dishwasher)

no kissing people on the mouth/lower half of the face

other people cannot kiss me/put their mouth on me

no allergens in the house (really difficult to enforce with non- immediate family members!!)

always having to cook my own meals/bake my own treats/desserts

no sharing drinks/food with other people

no food cooked in other people's houses/kitchens

always having to bring my own "lunchbox" to family events, work or school, all-day events, or any other situation in which i could THEORETICALLY need to eat or drink something other than bottled water

calling food manufacturers to verify label information on new/changed foods

and none of this is counting the avoidance behaviors i developed with obsessive-compulsive disorder around age 13 in response to the panic attacks i'd have remembering about the anaphylactic shock i experienced at age 10.

i was taught to read labels at age 5. i was taught how to use my own epi-pen at age 6. my parents and i have always been careful and responsible about my allergies. it's not "i just don't like this food", it's "if i eat this my throat will swell up and block my trachea AND i'll go into shock from low blood pressure." as inconvenient as it might be for YOU, you can learn these things too and save a life. happy disability pride month; stop being a dickhead

i don't usually talk about my allergies because it gives me a LOT of anxiety but i felt this was important to share, because most people have no idea what being an adult with allergies is like. life went from "everyone at the birthday party gets a cupcake but me and i'm sad" to to "if i want to kiss someone i like, i have to make sure she hasn't eaten anything i'm allergic to in the past few days" (which is like. hugely awkward to ask of someone holy shit) or "i have to turn down the meal from my friend's mom even though she has the best of intentions and now she thinks i'm an asshole"

Don’t think any of my followers are German nor do I think my followers actually exist, but spreading for visibility anyways

This is actually a fairly common practice for fascists. Never tear down their propaganda with your bare hands, always use a pocket knife or something

[kittenbillie-deactivated2018033]

Yeah this has been happening in America too, if you can then I recommend bringing your own anti-nazi stickers to put over the nazi ones

Please be careful, the world is a crazy place!

In addition, wheatpasted posters can contain fine shards of glass mixed up in the glue. In general it is safe to assume that removing street art with your bare hands can result in injury, especially if the art is politically motivated, but fascists in particular have zero qualms about hurting people who try to tear down their propaganda.

[Image Description: Please Spread this to save someone from being injured.

Some fascists in Germany have placed stickers saying “No chance for Islam” on lampposts and when you try to remove it, the razor stuck behind it slices up your hand.

2 images are shown, to the left is a pole with 2 of the previously mentioned stickers, presumably with the phrase in German. The bottom sticker is partially peeled off and covered in tape. The second image shows the back of the peeled off sticker with 2 razor blades on it. End ID]

Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.
