Me listening to Anxiety nonstop for the past week.

@jonathanbyersphd I see your glorious bed sharing parallel and add "accidental but not unwelcome hand-holding also in bed"

Wow, I am just now realizing that truly all of the best parts (or at least the most compelling parts to me) of Stranger Things can be found in The O.C.

Outsider with a poor reputation who is actually a kind, thoughtful, intelligent person? Ryan Atwood 🤝 Jonathan Byers.

Teen girl who feels so authentically like a teen girl (who makes mistakes and is messy) and therefore is hated by a majority of the fandom Marissa Copper 🤝 Nancy Wheeler.

A focus on a complex but loving family? The Cohens 🤝 The Byers

A love story between two people who are seemingly from different worlds but ultimately see the other for who they truly are in a way no one else can? Ryan x Marissa 🤝 Jonathan x Nancy

Like, these are all vastly different, but man, do I have a type…

Also Ryan Atwood is the blueprint for Jonathan Byers but I digress

Are we okay?

[share-the-damn-bed]

It's a little thing, but I love how Jonathan takes a moment... fully prepares for Nancy to break up with him after everything that's happened (that he blames himself for)... and then attempts to tackle their conflict head on. He truly believes that he's starting the conversation that is going to end them and is relieved/shocked that there's still hope.

NANCY WHEELER lyric set | meet me in the woods

There ain't language for the things I've seen, yeah And the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams The truth is stranger than all my dreams Oh, the darkness got a hold on me

✨ little teamwork moments ✨

Sometimes... people don't really say what they're really thinking. But when you capture the right moment, it says more.

tw: united states, fascism

Y'all. I know the anti-DEI orders in the US are already scary on their own, but it's way worse than publicly discussed. Not to dox myself, but I work in higher ed in a red state where I work directly with vulnerable populations.

We have just been told by our superiors, people at the university that are monitoring us, that we are no longer able to discuss and promote: fostering a sense of belonging and trauma informed care because those topics (along with 1,000 other things we do) will impact the institution's funding and accreditation. Like, these are just well documented best practices for human development. The work around paths we anticipated being feasible are getting busted left and right. And frankly, I'm not seeing ways the university (under the misguided assumption that over compliance with questionable fascist policies is what will save us/them) will allow us to continue our work in ways that doesn't bastardize best practices and neglect a significant proportion of our community who rely on our services. And these beneficiaries are all blissfully unaware that these services could be cut in an instant.

Oh yeah, we're also not allowed to have Title IX statements in our course syllabi anymore...

I know this doesn't pass the "good vibes only" spirit I like to promote here but I just need people to know.

Hey lovely people upset by or wanting to talk about the st5 leaks from today, like this post and I'll message you a discord invite link so we can all commiserate together.

[share-the-damn-bed]

Anyway nothing to see here nothing at all

[share-the-damn-bed]

I’m not sure what’s going on with the recent leaks, I’m clearly out of the loop. What was revealed in the leaks?

Mostly these flyers:

Which reads: Good morning Haaawkins! This is the preferred ride of the beloved crew of WSQK The Squawk aka The Hawkins Hitmaker - starring Rockin' Robin and supported by her radio board operator and Hawkins icon: Steve Harrington. Now, it's looking like a pretty regular day for Hawkins: fifty-five degrees, low chance of rain, medium chance of arrest, high chance of helicopters. before you all start bumping, a few words: North, ten, two hours, and class dismissed. Of course, don't forget to give us a ring at 765-754-WSQK. And take care, our fellow quarantine compatriots. and...

There's actually a decent amount of stuff going around regarding st5 but this is what the Jonathan radio station stuff is coming from.

Also there's a new photo of Nancy

[share-the-damn-bed]

On the plus side, they still seem to be running with the whole "Steve Harrington: bad at love, good with kids" angle so.... at least we don't have to worry about that.

[share-the-damn-bed]

I thought he was going to take Argyle (RIP) but turns out Steve is just going to take one of Jonathan's most defining hobbies... NEAT.

@jonathanbyersphd i updated this for you

Stranger Things 4 | Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero

“I’m afraid your friends in Hawkins are very much in the eye of the storm. You may feel you need to go to them now, but if you do, you will risk everything. Risk everyone. They’re not the only ones in danger. It’s life as we know it. This is why I’m here, because I believe you are our best hope. Our only hope.”
