just finished the 'The House in The Cerulean Sea' by TK Klune

i hereby rate it a 7/10

it was really good but kinda slow

very chapter to chapter, struggled with motivation to continue reading but at the end of every chapter it pulled me in

middle of chapters got kinda boring

great buildup

i am not a professional reviewer take this with a grain of salt

buy from local booksellers. find your nearest with bookshops.org

how amazing would it be if everyone had perfect memory? like i i remembered to take a photo of my sandwich before i ate it, or my mom remembers to order me more bedsheets.

oh my gosh help alice oseman is on the train in the 8th ep 1st season of episode?! (i’m on my 14th watch and i’m just now realising)

since trump is so keen on deportation. someone should get trump and deport his oompa loompa ass back to willy wonka's chocolate factory :)

I just finished watching Heartstopper (for the 13th time). You know how Netflix has those trailer-things at the end of series's? I got XO kitty, and I'm only going to watch the next season (I already watched the first one) because I saw two guys kissing. I need to know if its just me who will ONLY watch shows if theres any hint of gay-ness

Idk if anyone will see this, but pls try to keep Tumblr more under the radar. If it gets on the news, it could be banned/bought by orange Voldemort. This is literally the last app I'm able to speak freely on and the only one I see people really posting what's currently going on. (Without being censored...lookin at you Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok -_-)

And please keep protesting and boycotting meta! Keep yourselves as safe as you can.

stay strong america

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

hope the possibility of cheaper eggs and gas was worth it.

no quote of the day today because im depressed as hell rn

"He's your president because you voted for him" -Arabella Sarah Lennox Latham

[abenonymous]

"Every human being each of us— is like a country. You can build walls around yourself to protect yourself, to keep others out, never letting any. body visit you, never letting anybody in, never letting anybody see the beauty of the treasures you carry within. Building walls can lead to a sad and lonely existence. But we can also decide to give people visas and let them in so they can see for themselves all the wealth you have to offer. You can decide to let those who visit you see your pain and the courage it has taken you to survive. Letting other people in- letting them see your country-this is the key to happiness."

-Aristotle and Dante Dive Into The Waters of The World, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, pg.148

“There have been explosions in the universe for billions of years- explosions that give birth to a world breathing with new life. The universe creates.

We live on a planet that is a part of that universe. And though we are only a speck, a tiny particle, we, too, are a part of that universe. Everything is connected and everything belongs. Everything that is alive carries the breath of the universe. Once something is borm— a dog, a tree, a lizard, a human being it becomes essential to the universe and never dies.

The earth does not know the word "exile." Violence begins in the dark and stubborn riots of the human heart. The human heart is the source of all our hate and all our love. We must tame our wild hearts- or we will never understand the spark of the universe that lives within us all.

To live and never to understand the strange and beautiful mysteries

of the human heart is to make a tragedy of our lives.”

-Aristotle and Dante Dive Into The Waters of The World, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, pg. 401

good night yall

Am I the only one who thinks that group therapy is useless? Like what makes you think I want to share my feelings with random people who I just met that same day? It's like, yeah, lemme talk about deep personal stuff with people I don't know, and that's the only think they know about me. Like I just know I'll be known as 'the self-harm kid' or something. Maybe it's just me, but I think group therapy just hurts people.
