okay i know this says to talk about one, and the main one is there, but there’s like a lot of parts to it. this entire thing is just good to remember. so over the summer, i was house sitting for a week and a half for a family friend who lived in a different town 20 minutes away. what made it so awesome is that my squish lives in the same town, and we never get to hang out so we did as much as we could. we hung out the first night for a while (we got pizza and i introduced him to queer eye). then another night he came over after i got to the house at 11pm after work and we made some curry and rice, went to a park that had a high hill, then watched the stars while we ate. we stayed there until 3am just watching. but my best memory of house sitting was when it was the last night of the house sitting period, and i’d just had a long, hard day at work. i’d worked an 8 hr shift to almost closing (around 10pm). before i went to the house, i texted my squish saying how my day was super hard and how i just wanted some company. when i got to the house, i saw hed texted me asking when i was gonna be there, so i responded, and he showed up 10 minutes later. there was a huge pile of dishes to do and i was literally so exhausted i could only sit at the counter and hold my head in my hands. but as soon as i said i needed to do the dishes, he just immediately set his stuff aside and got to them. it took him like an hour or two but we just talked the entire time about my day, his day, other random stuff. after he finished, we went up to the room i was staying in and cuddled while watching queer eye. it’s one of my favorite memories because it just meant so much to me that he came to spend time with me in the middle of the night, did the dishes for me, and stayed with me until 2 in the morning of his own accord. no one had really done that for me before and it made me feel so special and good.
the treatment of the native american people. they’re still treated like absolute shit despite the current era being more “progressive” than ever. this is also one of the issues i never hear anything about, which is kind of irritating considering all the bullshit they still have to go through on a daily basis.
