[they-love-me-if-i-want]

Bárcsak újrakezdhetnék dolgokat, dolgokat amiket megbántam, amiket másképp csináltam volna, amiket nem tettem meg. Visszamennék az időben és a jelenlegi énem segítségével megvaltoztatnék dolgokat. Olyan jó lenne. Olyan egyszerű. De ez már nem lehetséges. Amit ezelőtt 1 perccel tettem sem tudom megváltoztatni és mindez kihat majd a jövőmre. Ha lesz olyan...

so I was just sitting in a bus waiting at a bus station and looking outside watching people walk past. it was 8 pm so it was dark already. and I see this dude coming and think he’s carrying a flower bouquet wrapped in paper. and then I look again and see that he’s actually carrying a frigging owl on his arm like he just came straight out of harry potter or some other fantasy world. and I check three times, but yes, that dude was just totally relaxed carrying a frigging owl through the city. and the owl was looking around like that was totally normal for it and maybe the dude was the servant and took the owl for a stroll?? like where r u coming from??? where r u going?? TELL ME

PS: I do not have a picture to prove it bc it literally happened in like five seconds and then they were gone ;A;

Aaaaaand Meta has removed fact-checking from Facebook and Instagram. They're replacing it with the "community notes" system that exists on Musk's Twitter. Okayokayokayokay

Growing up is a bitch. I can’t decide which is worse: my uncertain future or my heightened understanding of world events. Not only do I not know where I am going, but Jesus Christ, this place is scary.

I am inundated with bad news that feels impossible to escape. News from The Kardashians to mass shootings, both of which I hear about too frequently. We live in a world where even when my door is shut, someone is knocking feverishly, begging for my attention.

While weeding through the hordes of attention seeking news anchors, Twitter trolls and Facebook political analysts, I am trying to figure myself out. I am standing on my soapbox, trying to tell my story but everyone around me is screaming.

Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful. I am lucky. I can pay my bills, there is a roof over my head, and I have never gone hungry. I have a group of friends I feel like I have waited a lifetime for and a family I would give my life for. I date a handsome bearded babe and together we have a beauuuuutiful dog (39 months) and cat (132 months). But even with all the flowers, sometimes I can’t find my way out of the weeds.

It’s really screwed up that

there are so many horrible things happening in the world that I’ve grown up with than even when bad things happen to me I can’t feel grief or sadness because I’ve been numbed to human suffering

I kinda feel the need to elaborate on Tir’na Dragain after that predator horse post. Like, I don’t know if I’ve ever fully explained some of the monsters/animal that exist there.

Carnivorous Horses - They pretty much roam everywhere except close to the human cities and some smaller towns actually have to be careful during certain times of year. Their average height is usually 36 hh (144″ or 12′) and their muscle structure is similar to the Friesian; an elegant but powerfully muscled horse with thick mane and tail. Their teeth are sharp enough to easily slice through flesh and face little resistance against dragon hide. Most hunt in herds ranging from 5 to 15 members. Taming one is not recommended as they will very likely bite the hand that feeds them.

Dire Wolves - Large canines that can be up to 5 feet tall at their should and 7 feet long from muzzle to tail. They are found more frequently in the mountains close to the north with thick coats of various colors. Their nails are sharp enough to cut through steel. Unlike their Ceilli counterparts, though they have proven to be very intelligent they cannot, or choose not to, communicate in a humanoid language. Often found in packs consisting of 3-10 members. (The Ceilli wolves are typically smaller and much less ferocious, but are still predators)

Ahhhh, there are a few others and the Ceilli is kind of a range term for the intelligent and slightly larger than Earth based animals, but there are very ferocious and altered versions out there too, as well as unique creatures just for this weird-o world in my head. I need to make a more thorough list when I have time

The man who was investigating corruption behind the 90s bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires was found dead this morning (I haven't seen any final conclusions about it being a suicide or not). He was going to accuse CFK of covering up Iranian involvement in the attack in exchange for oil deals. 

"Yo puedo salir muerto de ésto," he said. This could leave me dead.

Government is really fucking corrupt. I'm sad this happened. I'm sad Argentina is stuck with such an ill-fitted and self-serving president.
