Like, walking outside on a summer night after it rains, with the damp feeling still in the air and the raindrops clinging to the trees and grass, and the smells of wet earth and freshly fallen rain mingling perfectly around you, and hearing nothing but the crickets chirping and frogs croaking as you walk, and thinking that maybe the ancients weren't that far off; that maybe there were fairies hiding in the woods, and there were doorways hidden in forests that would take you to new worlds, full of mystery and magic, and feeling this...euphoria at seeing a small pocket of what feels like real, genuine nature in an urbanized world. How could anyone not like that feeling?
A love letter to the moon
Dear moon, in 50 years will I look at you the same way I do now? Or will my eyes be brimming with tears and my ever-ageing heart weigh heavy with nostalgia and sorrow? Or perhaps my eyes will crease and my lips upturn with glee, remembering vaguely the way I once looked upon you.
In life, people often subconsciously spending all there time seeking stability, they want a stable job, stable wages and stable relationships, luxuries come after all that. Some look for stability in you, although your not stable at all!
Some nights you are big, some nights you are small, some nights your radiant light only just manages to seep through the a shroud of clouds, some nights you’re not there at all. Therefore you are a luxury.
Billions of people have gazed at you in wonder, just as I am doing now. Some of them were poets, some philosophers, some artists, some astronomers and some of them were ordinary people… yet you have given them all the same light, the same love, the same warmth. You seem to be the only thing that people on this earth are able to share.
For all of this I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You have been my light and my darkness. My heart and soul. You have sent me dreaming into space and guided me gently back down to earth. You were my stability. You were my luxury. I have looked upon you in love and I have looked upon you in hate. So for all of this, thank you, thank you, thank you
I saw a post a week or so ago that said it would put a gay love note in the askbox of everyone who reblogged it, but it didn't actually work. So Here Is My Pledge, I will put a medieval gay love letter in the askbox of everyone who reblogs this. Everyone. I don't care if this gets 5,000 notes,(even though it won't) everyone's getting a love letter. Have fun with your gay love letters friends.

Forces
Through movies, media, books, and life there are three things that are said to be stronger than everything else. Fear, curiosity, and love. Many times people ask why. Why are these three emotions often defined as driving forces of society and humans in general.
Fear is with us all throughout our lives. From birth all the way to death we carry fear. Those fears may change over your life, or they may stay the same, but there is never one time where you are completely devoid of fear. It is not something that humans can accomplish. Using fear crowds can be controlled, entire societies can be enslaved, it’s often used with totalitarian governments, and as well as with protests. Fear doesn’t always work, but it often is an incredibly strong driving force that helps dictate what happens. Fear is what keeps oppression running, it is used to keep bullied kids from speaking out, it’s used to control and manipulate.
Curiosity is another strong emotional force. From the very beginning of our lives we are curious about things around us. From everything as to what that thing tastes like all the way to what is in our oceans. We are curious from birth until death. Why does this work, but this doesn’t? Why does this equation work like that? Why can’t I run around outside barefoot? Why can’t I climb up the unanchored bookshelf? Curiosity is in our chemistry, it drives our love of education, the need to take in more and more information. Curiosity can practically outmatch any sort of fear. Curiosity alone can bring down an oppressive government, it can make us do reckless stupid things, it can make us develop stunning new technology.
Love has always been said to be the strongest thing in existence. Love can drive people mad, and others to do incredibly stupid things. It will drive a parent to lift a car, to fight off predators, to search ceaselessly, to work three jobs, anything to protect and secure the future of their child. It can cause kids to get in fights, to get distracted, to defend others. It can cause friends to stand up to a bully, to parents. Love causes us to protect, defend, and take care of others, especially those closest to us.
With the knowledge of what these emotions can do, why? Why do we have them and what do they do for us?
Well it’s fairly simple evolution. Fear keeps us living, it forces us away from the biggest threats to our livelihood and well being. Curiosity keeps us innovating and exploring. Without it we would have found something that works and kept with it. We might not have phones, internet, or vehicles. Love keeps us together. Being social creatures by evolution we need the love that pack bonding brings. We need to be have love, because love is what drives even more of our species than fear and curiosity. Without love the kinds of large scale societies we have today may have never developed, it keeps us working for futures and to improve standards. Love keeps us together as a species, and without it life would be much different.
Without these three emotions being such large forces being our evolution and forward development humanity would be dramatically different than we currently know it. There may not even be any humans.
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.

🏡cottagecore dorm/small space ideas:
at least one cookie jar, even if you don’t bake. put store bought cookies in it. 100% guarantee it will bring happiness
a rug. rug hooking is fun and easy to learn also
plants! especially herbs! bonus points if they’re in cute lil pots
throws, pillows, and blankets for optimum coziness and homey feel
diy decor like pompom tassels, banners, knit/crochet/felted/macrame things to fill up boring walls (check your rules on hanging things first)
knick knack dish
soft lighting like a salt lamp or fairy lights
vintage pieces to display (old pyrex bowls, figurines, pictures, memorabilia)
wicker baskets/bins. idk they’re so quaint
cute stationary
a quilt. because quilts. also, bedskirts will generally hide any underbed storage from view
books, especially to educate yourself on hobbies and interests
mason jars are adorable, cheap, and make great storage
^enamel jars are easily thrifted and can hold bulk items
scented candles/wax burner (if allowed!)
cute patterned tea towels, oven mitts, and pot holders. i have a pair of oven mitts with chickens on them, 11/10 would reccomend kitschy kitchenware
is this my sign to decorate my room during quarantine
the ideal of “farms everywhere in every garden!!1!” is a huge selling point of the solarpunk and self-sustainablity communities, especially with farmcore/cottagecore and nature aesthetics being more popular nowadays.
however these posts often overlook a few things
1) we already overproduce food, we don’t need more farms we need better farm and food management.
2) not everyone can farm or wants too. Space, the local environment, disabilities, and lack of interest needs to be acknowledged more. I’m awful with plants no matter how much i love them, and i am certain there are plenty more people who would agree.
3) the idea of farms for everyone and the aesthetic of “everyone having their little plot of land” is not community driven, and sadly comes from a place of colonialism. YES a cute lil cottage with a chicken pen out the back and a garden out the front is cute, but this is not possible for everyone on the planet.
4) NATURAL DIVERSITY IS VERY IMPORTANT. instead of making everyones garden into a food forest, we should aim to grow more native plants and help cultivate the natural environment.
5) not every country is the same, we have our own biodiveristy, and often these posts are *very* american/american based
I think the emphasis is also not on sharing enough. I live in a little village. I have a small garden with 8 apple trees crammed into it (thanks granny, I don’t even like apples), loads of flowers that I love, and a bit of stuff that I can eat later like tomatoes and peas. I also have about six zucchini and pumpkin plants on my compost heap - more than I will ever need myself.
I give stuff away all the time. But guess what? People are so uncomfortable with the idea of receiving and/or reciprocating that it just doesn’t catch on. So far we have two (2!) people in the entire village we happily trade food and labour with. Everyone else is just so stuck in their ways and really resisting the idea of just…opening up to other people.
So, I definitely agree with OP. The most solarpunk thing to do isn’t to have everyone try to be self-sufficient. That’s something pretty ecofash, if you think about it. The goal is to be sustainable together. By sharing work and food freely - the guy who couldn’t keep a plant alive to save his life might be able to fix your plumbing. Our friends can’t cook, but they have sheep and chicken. They bring poop, we use that to grow stuff, we cook, they come, we all eat together. The entire point is community and sharing.
You’re not supposed to be able to do things all alone. That’s not how humanity works, this is not how it has ever worked.
ACTIVISM IS NOT TERRORISM!!

115 Masterpiece Theatre Prompt List
Did I just spend an hour listening to my favourite album and compiling a prompt list just so I could write fics based on it? Yes, yes I did. Here are 115 based off Masterpiece Theatre by Marianas Trench:

‘You’re beautiful, can I hide in you a while?’
‘Don’t make a sound.’
‘It hurts me to be near you.’
‘Keep those tired eyes closed.’
‘I will show you self-destruction.’
‘I don’t know how it got this way.’
‘I don’t want to be the bad guy.’
‘I’ve been blaming myself.’
‘I thought you wanted me?’
‘Make me feel like someone else.’

‘I’ll be right beside you.’
‘Nobody will break you.’
‘I’m just trying to keep us together.’
‘I could do worse and you could do better.’
‘I will hide you when it gets too rough.’
‘Remember in the backyard laughing so damn hard and no one knew why?’
‘Sometimes it reminds me of when we used to belong here.’
‘Every memory comes on when I hear that old song.’
‘We used to sing the words all wrong.’
‘Acadia is gone.’
‘In the dead and quite I will slowly fade.’
‘Hush now, they’ll hurt you till your heart melts.’
‘They will only break your heart.’
‘I’ll wreck this if I have to.’
‘Can I have your attention?’
‘You just need me to be stable but I won’t be able to keep it together again.’
‘Don’t pretty please me.’
‘It’s not wonder I’m not sleeping.’
‘Sing me something I need.’
God I wish I could.’
‘Are you hearing me now?’
‘Did I ever tell you I’m not lovin’ you best?’
‘I just need a minute.’
‘I can’t find my breath.’
‘I know this isn’t enough.’
‘Sorry is never there when you need it.’
‘I’ll hold you above everyone.’
‘I thought I saw the sign somewhere between the lines.’
‘Maybe I only see what I want.’
‘I still have your letter.’
‘I just got caught between someone I invented and who I really am.’
‘All that work to impress charming girls out of their dresses.’
‘I pray at the church with asses in the seats.’
‘I’d never guess how we ever could have got here.’
‘Say what you say when the lights go down.’
‘You know, I thought you were my friend.’
‘Just stop.’
‘I think I got it.’
‘Sorry you’ll never be somebody clean.’
‘Look around.’
‘I’m trying.’
‘Shut your mouth.’
‘Please sing to me.’
‘Make it easier on me.’
‘Somebody’s got to tell me what to do.’
‘Just wish you would’ve seen me.’
‘I like to say it’s easy to stay but it’s not for me.’
‘Slow down.’
‘The secrets out.’
‘I swear everything is perfect.’
‘What you want, what you need has been killing me.’
‘I’ll do more for less.’
‘Now I’ll change everything until it’s perfect again.’
‘I know that I don’t give a fuck about it anyway.’
‘I will make this perfect again.’
‘I think it’s better this way.’
‘This place is a hole.’
‘I don’t want to go.’

‘I’m not sick of you yet.’
‘Is this as good as it gets?’
‘I could slip into you.’
‘Its so easy to come back into you.’
‘I’ll take you back.’
‘You’re still the best more or less, I guess.’
‘Don’t you leave me.’
‘It hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay.’
‘It might be alright if you go.’
‘So leave me.’
‘The quitter in me is better than the both of us.’
‘It’s hard to take.’
‘I’m wide awake.’
‘One more confession.’
‘I never needed a reason.’
‘I don’t know how this is wrong.’
‘They don’t know you like I do.’
‘I can never go back home again.’
‘Don’t ever tell me I’m not loving you best.’
‘It’s better in the worse way.’
‘I like to push it until my luck is over.’
‘I wonder if you doubt it.’
‘If you need to take this out on somebody.’
‘I don’t know what you want.’
They say to write about what makes your heart soar-- The type of words that leave you feeling light. But what if you feel a burst of a spark? When your hands feel clammy and all you want to do is keep writing because when you stop all you can feel is a gentle aching?
It has always been there. Stored in the ‘you’ that only you can comprehend. The ‘you’ that the painting in your room stares back as the curtain that stands still when the air in your lungs seems to stop moving.
No clock is present to remind you of the time you took advantage of. Soon the lamps will fall as a new day rises. Nothing changes.
“I exist. I exist. I exist.”
A continuous mantra as the ticks of the clock that is absent calls out to your heartbeat.
“I exist. I exist. I exist.”
Until the clock runs out of batteries.
“I exist,” Until I don’t. But the sun will still greet you a “Good Morning.”
