don’t sweat the small stuff. the girlies on tumblr would love your stutter. 🫶

Thank you. But I'm more worried about the girlies outside. Who can actually hear me.

🗝️🏷️ mentions of fights, trafficking, the shitshow that is life

I’m so tired. We’ve been up 36 hrs against our will cause the people in the shelter be fighting right outside our room, tried to break em up and got bit while the staff stood there wide-eyed.

Went to the library Monday and Tuesday, technically it’s Wednesday now, looked into universities out of state so we could get our degree without looking over our shoulder all the time. Turns out we are required to apply as a transfer student, but are immediately disqualified because we don’t have the credits or GPA — which is 70% not our fault, we were being trafficked and weren’t allowed to get legal help or accommodations for the wounds we kept coming back with — even that damn bus driver who never let us board, who publicly announced that our lack of mobility was not his problem. But no exceptions.

Yesterday I was searching up community colleges in the states with the 4 years we like, trying to qualify as a resident in those areas. We’re homeless, no permanent address, so the hope is we can move our ass out to a shelter there and apply for scholarships. Found some places that are cheap enough, offer housing for better than the area, few that got meal plan (it’d cost us, but easier to do schoolwork when we don’t gotta be foraging food in our spare time).

This shelter, though shitty, is about as good as we’ve ever seen. Our case manager says he’ll help us find a way there and a place to stay, but that we’d be paying transportation. We can fit all our shit into three bags including our school bag, might be able to rearrange and shove that in the big suitcase. I hope they’ll let us take two, we got some nice clothes from the Goodwill we won’t be replacing anytime soon. We still have to wait for our SSN to come in the mail, can’t apply for shit without that.

And our chronic dehydration is making our skin crack and peel, so we’re looking like a million bucks (/sar).

We’re alive, though. As much as some of us regret the sacrifices we made to leave, we couldn’t have made use of those luxuries dead. If it takes us another two years, that’s what it takes. We’ll get there — crawling on our belly and running on spite, but we’ll get there.

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

Thinking of becoming a guy that thinks wolves are the most badass and aspirational animal, but about ants. Like wearing t-shirts about being loyal to my Queen and training to bench 5x my bodyweight. Studying ant warfare. Posting shit like this

"when i was your age, i was working three jobs to help support my family" and "when i was in college i was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and living off of soup"

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO THAT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THIS ISN'T A CHARACTER-BUILDING LESSON, IT'S JUST BAD

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

I loved and I loved and I loved… until I ran out of love. I’ll be kind to you, but my energy with you will never be what it once was.
