i think more people would watch downton abbey if they knew there was an evil twink and his fag hag causing problems on purpose. if you see two bitches that look like this-
-taking a smoke break together know shits about to get real annoying for everyone.
A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.
Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.
In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”
He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.
Made these practical lists for overthinkers who spiral into analysis paralysis (aka me). Sometimes you don’t need more reflection, you just need something to do.
you know what? fuck it, man. the world is held in the fists of people who like to break things. at this point i’m saying who gives a shit. wear that victorian dress you don’t have an excuse for. dress up like a witch, pointed hat and all. who cares anymore. why worry about it when there’s bigger stuff to worry on. i’m saying. yeah, this lipstick is too dark, wanna share? i’m saying go talk to her, tell her that you like her hair. i’m saying she’s out of my league but i’m still swinging, i’m saying yeah i’m in a ballgown and it’s a pta meeting. what about it. eat the extra brownie, tell her your feelings. i’m saying if nothing matters than we might as well give nothing meaning.
#i’m saying if existence is a void at least i’m going down screaming.
it’s been 9 years since i wrote this. i was experiencing 24/7 anxiety so badly that i needed serious medication. these days in the back of my car is an “emergency party box.” when people admit they no longer really celebrate their birthday; i tell them to put the sash on and queue up kesha, we’re going bowling or something. these days i can’t spin around without finding something i am enamored with. these days i list 3 things i’m grateful for before i fall asleep. you’re probably one of them, just by virtue of you existing.
at the time i wrote this, i was suffering through a severe panic attack literally every night. i tortured my brother with constant 2 AM calls just to hear someone else breathing, because i couldn’t be alone in the silence.
i rarely wish i was still 23 even though ironically i had more hope back then. what i can tell you is this: i love the same way, but bigger now. i’ve worn the velvet cape to several business meetings. i spent thursday in a crop top without caring what my stomach looked like.
i told her i like her; i often dress as a witch. i still got glass in my foot this morning. i’ve kissed maybe a thousand people since then and met a million more than that; passing like the shadow of a hammerhead in trains and planes and buses.
i saw you, beloved, there, maybe, on platform in south station. you didn’t speak, but you said: i struggle to give the nothing meaning. the nothing fills up everything. it is just loud and yellowed panicked silence. i can’t stop shaking.
on the roof, birds curl together against the chilled spring wind. the sky outside of the craft store was an iridescent pink. the nothing already had meaning; you are giving it meaning by witnessing.
the act of living, beloved: it’s just decoding how to translate it.
the thing about jakey houseofthedragon is that he’s so polite for someone whose been told since birth that he is a living crime for being brunette and a day will come in which he and his mother will have to fight for their claims to the throne or be mercilessly put to the sword. And then that day does come and his baby brother gets chomped in twain by a nuclear warhead and it’s kind of #hisfaultsomehow and then he turns to his mother right after she’s making out with her advisor (stepdad uncle’s ex?) and is like it’s time to fight on account of they are killing us pretty bad and she’s like. Son. I have to go sneak into the capital. No not to take the throne it’s to work things out with my middle school girlfriend. Also I’m giving all the bastards dragons even though having a dragon is your proof you aren’t. Why are you mad.
as you may know, I'm a freak for keeping lists, so I have been making youtube playlists on different religions and though I would share! They include documentaries, journalistic pieces, ethnographic footage, travel vlogs, video essays, and more. I'm trying to sift out any AI slop and keep it informative.
Note: I do include interviews from former practitioners, exposes or other potentially upsetting content, both for the religions typically described as "cults" and those that are considered mainstream. This is not because I want to insult people's beliefs or characterize them as bad, but because I think it's important to hold space and bear witness to others' pain, especially when it comes from religions or high-demand groups.

on the topic of black sails let it be known I think the classic "oh the potc cast wouldn't survive a day in black sails" bit is so funny because like yeah absolutely but like do you reckon the fine homosexuals from black sails would do all that hot in potc like girl there's curses
this isn't even to knock their talents and intelligence btw like I think it'd be extremely reasonable if you were say captain flint and you were a reasonable homosexual a clever cookie and you heard someone say "hey did you hear there's a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that hell itself spat him back out did you hear about this" you'd reasonably go "fake+L+ratio" and then you'd go and get your shit absolutely rocked by captain barbossa and the bone people now this is NOT because you're not a reasonable homosexual and a clever cookie this is because bone people should by all means not exist but unfortunately you're from black sails on starz and you've been thrown into disney's pirates of the caribbean. where there's bone people
A while ago one of those posts went by that was like “the leads of the previous show you watched are now in the show you are currently watching. how do they handle it?” and I was like ok the heated rivalry boys in black sails would just. Die. They’d just die. RIP.
But the more I think about it the more I think the opposite is where the comedy is.
"Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost. The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before he can rest. The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland. And keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a hockey stick."
