now that its been a while, i have to admit that i love the swiss song and its stuck in my head

[teachingjessie]

i love animal crossing new horizons, its amazing

BUT

here are some things i hate

you cant select multiple things at once on your pocket to put in storage

you cant eat multiple things at once aka you have to eat the ten apples one by one

you cant lay a path or a fence quickly like you can on the DLC

theres no option with Isabelle to kick a villager out, you gotta wait until a bubble pears on said villager

this one is a bit random, but i saw somewhere that in previous Animal Crossing games it happens - you cant hang with the nook inc crew, i wish i saw blathers walking around and we could just talk about his life or his hobbies

THE FUCKING FLOWERS PLANT AND REPLANTING EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM. IS. A FUCKING NIGHTMARE I HATE IT SO MUCH

the camera angles suck. why can we just look up and down and not side to side or rotate? ugh just ugh

you cant listen to kk songs outside? just wanted like an ipod or a walkman and you could just play your music, idk

i want to be able to tuck a shirt. and layering clothes

not a hate, i just dont understand gyroids. they’re cute and they dance, but what are they? who are they?

id love to be able to terraform the beach

[newporters]

yesss im always saying this like sure i can give you logical advice but at the end of the day you can just do what you want to do until youre sick of it. cant move on cant switch gears til youre sick of it so go ahead and indulge

The HIV/AIDS epidemic is one of the best/worst things to occur in my lifetime. Absolutely devastating but also an example of the incredible good people can do when they work together. Let this be an example of what happens when governments turn their backs on their people. And an example of what people can do to help in spite of that. A quick timeline gleaned from Wikipedia and other sites (I am just a layperson).

I was born in 1981, the year multiple agencies reported unusual clusters of symptoms in various groups of people. The AIDS epidemic officially begins June 5, 1981. Research over the next five years leads to the identification and naming of the HIV virus in 1986. AZT is put to use as the first antiretroviral drug treatment in 1987. Combination treatments of these drugs emerge over the following years.

In 1996, highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) is introduced, using protease inhibitors and becomes the standard of care.

The combo drug Truvada is approved as a treatment in 2004 and then by 2012 is approved as prophylactic/preventative treatment (PrEP).

THIS IS OUR TIMELINE!! By the time I turned 31, we had effective drugs that allowed HIV positive people to have such undetectable viral loads there was very little chance of passing it on to a sexual partner. 30 fucking years. Look what people can do.

The epidemic was devastating in so many ways. Millions died all over the world. The situation on the African continent was unbelievable. Lack of treatment, huge stigma, etc. And yet science peristed.

During this Pride month, please remember how far we have come. I am an Old Millenial cis straight lady living on the west coast of the US. I had fairly decent sex Ed in the 90s but HIV was always a spectre. I think of my Gen X coworkers and Boomer family and friends who saw people die from this. The lack of resources and compassion was heartbreaking. LGBT+ folks have always existed and always will. So many beautiful souls gone far too soon from this disease. Humans are awful and wonderful. There will always be helpers and scientists and activists because we would never have made it this far without each other. Keep on keeping on ❤️

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

[secondlina]

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

[sapphira-mydnyte]

Even the littlest blessing matters. 💚

[avicecaro]

read the ordinance here

[glorious-spoon]

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off

[glorious-spoon]

congratulations to the only post i've ever had breach 100k notes without any real discourse or fighting, just a lot of people wearily going, oh, god, same

[teachingjessie]

you know something that sucks as an adult? making and maintaining friends

all of fo my friends live far away so we barely talk, how do people make friends?

[greypistachio]

i am so fucking proud of my country right now, THANK YOU for growing a backbone RTVE!!

here's what they aired, despite the EBU's backlash after Spanish TV commentators criticised Israel during the semi-finals:

[teachingjessie]

i guess its time to save up for that trip to vienna

[ccsven]

Just gonna go ahead and say congratulations to Estonia for getting second place and Sweden for getting third

[teachingjessie]

well, that was a shitshow. another eurovision on the books, but with a sour taste on the mouth with all the voting

[teachingjessie]

UK really puts into words what i feel right now

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENNED?

[teachingjessie]

its INSANE that israel won the public vote. remember i told you about seeing ads for the israeli song? its dissapointing to see people supporting israel

[lunlumo]

But remember - since nothing will be done about the elephant in the room we have to mentally prepare for the inevitable ****** win. Let the contest plunge into the abyss afterwards this is already ridiculous

Sure I've had favorites and been pissed at results. But genuine dread counting numbers? Go to hell. Disgraceful
