You are not “hopelessly behind” everyone else. Every person moves at their own pace and your life path is unique. While expectations of achievement within a certain time period may feel set in stone, there is always a way to keep going.

Anyway here’s a poem I wrote about my cat

After “Do not stand at my grave and weep”, author disputed:

Do not stand at your bowl and meow. I gave you food. It’s in there now. I feed you at the dawning light, I feed you at the fall of night. I feed you kibbles mixed with meat And wet food for a special treat. I feed you even though you scoff At all the food within your trough. I feed you and still yet you yell Like as a beast from deepest hell. Do not stand at your bowl and cry. I gave you food. You will not die.

nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

feeling like maybe the americans need to hear this for once (and let me know if i'm saying it nicely) america isn't the whole world.

thailand legalised same sex marriage. most of the world is doing an excellent job of acting on climate change, and we're projected to warm no more than 2.5 degrees now. the EU has been working hard to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, and is doing a great job. bhutan continues to absorb more carbon dioxide than it emits, and so does tasmania. here in brisbane, queer people of faith have been coming together in queer worship nights, meeting similar people, and accepting themselves, ready to reconcile it with their faith and question the crumbs of christian nationalism that permeate from the US. they're planning to build high speed rail between sydney and newcastle too, and a new inland link between brisbane and melbourne. kakapo have been saved from extinction over in aotearoa (new zealand). solar and wind energy generation are at an all time high. vegan meat alternatives taste the best they ever have. autism speaks shut down in canada, and awareness is rising very quickly about adhd in women, the pda profile, and neurodiversity and disability in general. they've invented a blood test for endometriosis. it's not all bad news

Hi. Things are bleak, I know that. I know that we paid for Trump's last term with blood and it is likely the price will be blood again.

But listen to me. LISTEN.

You do not have to force yourself to witness horrors as an act of activism. It is not a form of activism. You can put your phone down, you can block that horrific video. We cannot win if you cannot fight and you will not be able to fight if you are hopeless.

Do not let them guilt you into this. People who are exhausted are easier to walk over. Take care of yourself, find community where you find joy.

watched the stalks of a lavender bush by the bus stop dip and sway from the sheer amount of fat little bumblebees on it and you know what. some things in this world are good

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

Trump is probably going to remove the TikTok ban shortly after his inauguration and secure a chunk of the youth vote.

Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever

If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
