Ok but going through the comments on any of the boys posts when they’re trying to acknowledge another artist etc is giving brain rot 😭

I feel like they’re wanting to be respected within the music industry when posting those kinds of things but then their comments are just filled with the craziest shit

Like now is not the time to tell them how hot they are etc

Love yall tho

NONONONO MAKE IT STOP

[gracev0609]

however this ends up it should never have been this close. it is so repulsive to think half of this country thinks our rights and lives are dispensable. the person next to you on your ride to work could (or probably even does) think you're less of a person because of who you love, or how you express yourself, or what you look like, or what organs you were born with. it's actually insane to think we're supposed to just move past that.

advice from dad

So, my Dad is a 73-year-old Mexican man who has lived here since he was 16. He was in Watts during the riots in 1965; in 1992, when I was in LA, as soon as the Rodney King verdict was announced, he called me, told me what was coming, told me how to stay safe. He has survived horrible living conditions, being kidnapped, physical abuse, prejudice, discrimination. He learned English, got his green card, pays his taxes, works hard, and has three daughters. 

I thought he would be devastated today.

But he wasn’t.

He saw that I was sad and angry, and he asked me why, pretending he had no idea. I almost started crying. And then he said, “no se me chicopale.” 

It means, don’t lose heart. Don’t give in to despair.

I asked him why he wasn’t upset.

He said, basically, “The world has always been this way. There are always people who are afraid, who are racist, who are awful. This is not new. And it will never go away. He won. We can’t do anything about that. All we can do is what we can do. Fight for what matters to us. Take care of each other. And don’t lose heart. And here, I got these unsalted cashews for you and a bag of jamaica drink mix and can you show me how to use the new washing machine because it’s not working.”

And, for reasons I can’t articulate, I feel a little better.

I'm devastated. I can't believe this is our reality. I'm trying my best not to be on social media today, and maybe for a little while. I'm trying to find comfort in the little things that I enjoy, I painted, did my nails, listened to my favorite music, I'm wearing comfy clothes.

We're strong💙 I love you 💙

Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch

An Iced Chai Blurb

WC: 900+

Warnings: While this piece is entirely fluff, the Iced Chai Universe is 18+ Only!

The Iced Chai gang takes Hazel to the pumpkin patch and creates new wholesome memories.

The breeze was cold and crisp as they exited their vehicles in the late October air. The sky was a bright blue with wispy clouds streaking across the horizon, colorful pops of red, yellow and orange decorated each turning tree. The boys were bundled in heavy sweaters as they prepared for a day of autumn fun at the pumpkin patch. Lovie pulled Hazel from her car seat,dressed in her thick fleecey orange pajamas with little embroidered pumpkins topped off with a little pumpkin beanie.

Sam cackled as he and Jake rounded the back corner of their car, meeting up with their group,” Are you fucking kidding me, she's the cutest little pumpkin I've ever seen!”

Lovie giggled, positioning her on her denim clad hip,” Isn't she? Cutest one in the patch I'd bet!”

Jake giggles, his eyes taking in his nieces outfit,” Where did you find a teeny pumpkin hat?”

She blushes,” Oh! I made it. A little hot glue and green felt.”

Josh reaches over, adjusting the beanie down on his babies head,” Nothing was fitting mommas vision, she just had to make it for you.”

Kissing Hazel's rosy cheek before kissing Lovies,” Come on, hot cider is calling my name!”

Once inside the gates they rent a little red wagon, piling the blankets and pillows they brought in one half before nestling Hazel in. Danny can't help but smile down at his little girl all snug in her pumpkin outfit as he tucks her into the blankets. Josh and Sam eventually come back over, little togo cups of hot cider in their hands. Josh hands Danny his and reaches out to give Lovie hers,” and a non alcoholic one for our pretty momma.”

She smiles, the warmth of the togo cups already heating up her chilled hands,” Mm you remembered.”

Josh scoffs playfully,” Of course I remembered, who do you think I am?”

As they turn to start walking towards the towering pumpkin display Sam playfully taps her arm with the back of his hand,” He's obsessed with you, remember?”

Her heart swells as she looks around, Josh's brothers enjoying the family time just as much as her boys. Josh's eyes wide taking in every speck of autumn color, while Danny happily pulls the rented wagon with their baby sitting inside. Meandering over to the pumpkin patch display, they can't help but take some photos. A large stack of hay bales towering high to the sky littered with pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors.

Sam eagerly hoists Hazel out of her pillow nest,” Take a picture of us, we obviously match!” He laughs holding her to his body tightly with one arm, gesturing to his outfit with the other. A burnt orange beanie sat on his head as well as a matching burnt orange sweater.

“We're pumpkins!” He exclaims before kissing her pink cheek.

After Lovie snaps a few different poses of Sam and Hazelnut he passes her to his brother,” Okay, Uncle Jake's turn!”

She can't help but smile when she sees his face light up the second she's placed in his arms. After a few different poses Jake giggles,” So if you two were pumpkins does that mean we are a jack o lantern, since I'm wearing all black?”

Danny chuffs, “ Why are you wearing all black to a pumpkin patch?”

“Just wanted the baby's outfit to stand out.”

His comment makes everyone giggle. Once she starts wiggling in his grasp he hands her to Josh,” I think it's family picture time before she loses all of her patience!”

A few different variations of poses and he snapped some sweet ones, his favorite one being when Hazel squealed loudly and all three of her parents looked at her with loving but amused gazes.

After pictures they wandered through the pumpkin patch, picking a few small ones to bring home. As they were meandering through the packed dirt pathways Josh gasped, bending down he picked up the littlest teeny tiny orange pumpkin he had ever seen. Quickly he turned around with it in his palm to show Lovie and Danny,” Look! It's Hazel if she were a pumpkin.”

Lovie let out a laugh/ sob, “ Well, we have to get it! It's perfect!” Gently plucking it from her husband's palm and nestling it in the best of blankets surrounding their baby. Eventually Jake and Sam came back to the wagon with a few more of their picked pumpkins and loaded them into the wagon, much to Danny's dismay. Sam bends down his hand outstretched about to pick up the littlest gourd.

Danny yelps,” Don't! That one is Hazel's.”

Sam juts out his bottom lip before tugging her pumpkin beanie back down on her little head,” Sorry Hazelnut, I won't touch your pumpkin.”

After what felt like a much longer walk back from the patch they stood in line at the stand to purchase their pumpkins. Josh couldn't help the smile on his face as he watched his baby laugh and smile at her mom as she made silly faces to entertain her. Pulling his phone out to take the thousandth picture of the day, he snapped one of Hazel with the biggest smile on her face, her two gapped front teeth on display, nestled in with all of their pumpkins. Softly he nudges his wife as Danny and Sam load the pumpkins onto the checkout counter,” Cutest pumpkin in the patch huh?”

Looking at his phone seeing the snapshot he captured, her heart melting,” Most definitely.”
