the thing about recommending stuff to us is that 96% of the time we're just Not Going To

like, we don't even have the excuse of being busy or anything our brain is just an idiot that's like "hmmmm. no" but then immediately dive into something else like it's nothing

so if we don't watch that show or listen to that song it is NOT because we think it's bad or anything. we are just extremely stupid and lazy

sorry to everyone for everything

Y’all i will actually cry if Vox ends up betraying the other Vees. Like, they’re all awful but they’re awful together- they’re basically family

i really want to believe that grief is love with nowhere to go, but mostly it is horror. mostly i am terrified.

i am rarely sad. i am always small, turning around at the mall to find my mom isn’t behind me anymore, except i’m 34 and she’s never running back around a corner to scoop me into a frantic hug.

it’s horrifying. i don’t find comfort in things that make me feel close to her. they just emphasize that she’s not here. i make myself do it anyway because my therapist says i should. i agree. i don’t feel better. but i’ve done the alternative (avoidance) and that ends way worse.

i cry and get a migraine.

last night i woke up from a bad dream with the word “mom” leaping from my mouth.

What did the UK have to do with the Rwandan genocide? AFAIK it was under German control, then handed over to Belgium after WWI, and then wound up as part of the French sphere of influence post-independence. I can imagine the UK was involved in the broader geopolitical decisionmaking around it, since it was the leading imperial power for much of that time, but was there something obvious I'm missing?

You know what, you're totally right--I mashed up Rwanda in my head with Idi Amin's regime in Uganda, which was down to the British Empire. Consequences of talking off the dome! Rwanda was, as you point out, a German and then Belgian job, with more of the formalization of the racism and divides between Hutu and Tutsi people happening under Belgian direct rule and the formation of that division under the earlier German aegis.

Sigh. Let that be a lesson to everyone that brain farts happen to us all, which is why you should always cross-check anything that matters no matter how much you trust the source.
