Steve is a 1st grade teacher with a hopeless crush on his student’s uncle, an instagram model who is way out of his league. One day, Steve dresses up as Peter Rabbit for his kids and has them all make bunny ears for a class project. His students mom takes photos and tags him on instagram, the account he only really has so he can keep up with his crush. The photos are ridiculously adorable and “Mr. Steve” and his class start to go viral. Steve honestly doesn’t get what the fuss is about but if he can use his platform to help kids get school supplies he’s all for it. But then some thirsty mom out there tags the original photo and asks if he’s looking for a Mrs. Rabbit and now his inbox is flooded with women throwing rabbit puns at him and sending him photos of themselves dressed as sexy bunnies. He’s honestly thinking about deleting his whole account until his instagram crush Billy Hargrove makes a detour from his usual content to post photos of himself cosplaying as Jessica Rabbit. Caption *winky face*. Steve gets off to it like six times. Robin thinks it’s a sign and he should hop in Billy’s DMs but Steve isn’t so sure Billy even remembers meeting him that one time. Why would he? It’s probably just a coincidence.

it is a really gorgeous morning out—crisp and sunny and totally clear—and that feels weird when everything online is so, so dark. but also I am weirdly grateful for the beautiful day and for my baby, who is as usual delighted to be alive and is currently in his crib having an animated little conversation with himself and trying to grab his toes. I think what was hardest about those first four years, especially the first couple years, was swimming every day in the horrible toxic sludge of darkness and anger and betrayal and despair. I can’t go back there. I can’t live in that perpetually heightened state of constant doomscrolling and emotional spiraling. I don’t want or plan to disconnect/disengage but I know I will have to find ways to find balance. bad things are going to happen. people whose hearts are rotten through with hate will exult publicly and shamelessly in the suffering they cause. my baby will grow up in a world that feels darker and more uncertain than the one I grew up in. but I just can’t do the thing where I wake up every single morning and let the full grief and horror of it flood my body. I am sure this means that I have a weak character or I am avoiding the reckoning or I am so insulated by privilege I can afford to turn the noise off for a bit. that is what it is. but I just gotta like. I gotta figure out how to still feel happy that it’s a beautiful day out and my baby is chatting joyfully to himself about how nice it is to be a warm cozy little baby in a warm cozy little bed.

stop your tags on that jorge post are so funny cause real, he’s actually like here’s my guy casey. here’s my special guy dani. here’s Those Two Weirdos (ignore them like they’re ignoring you). yep, that’s it. no one else comes to mind. thats my gang. cool.

there are four people on this planet jorge fully respects. he has regularly fantasised about strangling three of them. the fourth has regularly fantasised about strangling him. everyone else on this planet is on thin thin ice. valentino and marc are the token two nutjobs he's bizarrely ride-or-die for. he's actively nostalgic about the times they deliberately rode their bikes into him and even jokes about it, somehow. he's been obsessed with dani for years and eventually decided he adored rather than hated that man. he's been obsessed with valentino for years and eventually decided he both adored and hated that man more than he already did both of those things. he started rating casey circa 2011 but as far as he's concerned they're now bonded #forever. he went from trying his best not to hate marc to genuinely not hating marc almost by accident - and now that annoying child is part of the team too. he's gotten into instagram beef with pretty much everyone from all time greats to random current riders to andrea dovizioso. not his crew though... he's the type of guy who would base his new racing number on adding up the numbers of his greatest rivals (apart from the bloke he actually fought for both his 250cc titles). he's the only alien who can truly claim to have managed open animosity with all his fellow aliens and now he just can't get enough of them. he's had several dozen work divorces, but those guys are the only ones he's ever actively decided to un-divorce. they're a team for life. not that you could get them all in the same room together without a gun to their heads and possibly not even then, but apart from that they're a team for life

I have got to get off the internet dude real people don’t act the way they do on here social media algorithms push abrasive comments to the forefront wanna be scam spam follower bait accounts and trolls feed into the pattern to make money influencers feed the cycle by regurgitating as much low effort content as they can possibly churn out as often as possible to make as much money as possible political takes that blow my mind happen every day critical thinking is dead and it makes me want to blow my brains out

So instagram is promoting threads using super nationalist, transphobic users as examples of content. Very Cool. No way to hide the ad or report the content on display, any engagement with the post just takes you to the App Store to download Threads today ✨✨✨

Absolutely fucking disgusting.

i think i finally realized why ive been feeling so damn depressed lately again

sorry for writing this here. im really hurting actually. im not good. i feel a bit helpless too. idk who to talk to bc i dont want to burden anyons and i donf feel like anything could console me right now

Like. fuck me man. thanks for saving me but. why the hell are you not here. i dont want to do this without you. i hate only being able to remember you. i was supposed to grow old with you, not without you.

And. honestly. even with all this bullshit i say here, all the endless times i spend trying to write down my feelings, abt you, about all the pain ive felt my life, it doesnt get better. not at all. and no words, no poetry takes it away and i truly feel like nobody will ever truly understand how suffocated i felt all my life.

and i want to change thanks to you but. i dont know. nothing's satisfying enough.

no matter what, i truly only feel great when im in that daydream like world you created.

and these past days ive been thinking a lot that. i really wouldnt mind dying right now. not at all. because at least i know what happiness feels like. and i want to stay in that state. probably, even in this life your music will bring me happiness, but i want to be trapped in it.

im tired of being so unseen, and even when im seen, im hurting. but i dont know whats hurting. i think im just really tired thats all.

and. ye. i feel brave tbh. i still havent posted my video to instagram, bc im not brave for that. i dont know. and i feel like a hypocrite bc everything is true that i wrote there but at the same time these are my thoughts currently

in a long while i looked up suicide methods again. i feel so hopeful, but im not really sure if really for the future. jm sorry this is probably alarming. i will probably not kill myself but. idk. im not sure actually. i dknt know what to say. i wasnt cut out for this wordly shit.i feel unlovable but even if im loved, i donf want to be. i dont want anything. just let me stsy in this quiet place snd just. disappear. i wouldnt want my family to hurt if i die but i wont know about it anyways. idk man. i feel strongly i could die calmly this time and thats nice. bc 6 years ago i was terrified, and hurt. but now im content and kind of ready idk man. its not a terrible feeling, its a "this is it, it was nice while it lasted" ig.

there are no clouds in my head actually. i truly dont feel like im thinking irrationally, i feel like this would just be like. the end goal i was looking for. to feel true love once. it was nice.

no goodbye yet bc idk how id kms even if i do. But ill tell u guys if i found something.

Late night magenta.

[oceanwavesproteinshakes]

Im gonna update on my sobriety journey exactly the way i never wanted to because i think the accountability will help me. Its the weekend so im taking time to rest my body, taking lots of vitamins and drinking water. Ill try to eat for the first time in days in a couple of hours. I just made a sheet analyzing my cycle of addiction and writing down questions i have, with a timeline of how things developed, ill bring it with me to my next session of therapy, im hoping it will help find out critical points of my cycle to help break it. I have an apointment on thursday at an addiction treatment/counseling office thats local to me and will hit up the AA for the next local appointment i can take on monday. I want to act fast because i know for my type of addiction i have a couple weeks of strong motivation to be sober and then a couple months with no desire too drink at all which also makes me less motivated to stick to sobriety cause Everythings going fine. So im trying to set up a network to support me once i get to that false security stage. Coming to terms with this being addiction is hard, ive been in denial for a good while cause im not a „typical“ alcoholic and often times people my age „like to party/drink“ plus im realizing many of the adults around me are types of addicts that are viewed as less severe or more functional. (My grandpa was an alcoholic like from a book, but my uncle is drunk multiple times a week, almost everyone in my family gets drunk at every party and drinks in the evening to relax tho in „smaller“ amounts, my father was drinking multiple drinks every evening and hiding it before the end of his life and so on and so on) so maybe i have a genetic predisposition too (which would suck pretty hard but wont mean i wont be able do it)

I need to stop going on Instagram it just makes me mad at this point

[ranger-kellyn]

the fact that there are literally people out there who firmly believe rape doesn't "justify" an abortion like.......................what the fuck do you even stand for at that point??? needless cruelty???? pointed cruelty?? if you believe that then clearly you're just someone who wants a free pass to go around and rape people to give you children like what are we even fucking doing here

[hightaled]

my schedule and my classes are so fucking awful and i am filled with more contempt and vitriol than ever this year

[byakuyasdarling]

I’m so tired of seeing people police others’ language and assume they are (x, y, z) or mean (x, y, z) from harmless phrases and word choice. Like if it irks you, fine I get it. But if you genuinely think someone is horrible and awful or thinks something irrepressible for a cutesy word or phrase they use that ultimately means NOTHING — genuinely touch grass.

// obviously not about slurs — I mean words like ‘blorbo’ or those in a similar vein. Last time I checked, it wasn’t problematic so I’m operating under that supposition.
