Kinda funny how in like 2017, my dance group was looking for more boys, it was only really my sibling and one other boy. Now like 3/4 of us are non binary or some form of genderqueer.

What’s with Scandinavian Canadian teens and the lack of gender or much of all genders?!?!

and after the pandemic, 1/4 of us are disabled, before it was just me

I can’t believe we’re in the mid 2020s now

Somehow I agreed to make a baptismal gown out of my mom’s wedding dress. I am so nervous about cutting into it. I feel like I’m not a good enough seamstress. This should be interesting

I need a really good outfit for an event I’m doing and I just realized it’s NEXT WEEKEND. I literally do not have the time to shop stores or my closet or the Pinterest board in my mind and give myself a feminist pep talk about how it’s okay I’m still in my COVID weight era. Honestly I love fashion so much and I used to wear and make many cute outfits lovingly DIYed and thrifted cause I had skills once upon a time and I went to fashion college for a time but I do not feel cute lately and I’ve been purging my closet but not updating it and now I’m stressed out I have to speak to an audience on a microphone while standing next to some super young fashionable literary stars and I have to look like a boring professor unless I go to the mall tomorrow and spend some ridiculous amount of money cause if I can’t be 25 again aka the year of my peak femme club outfit I felt like Violet from Bound then at least I can upgrade my academic bling and make up and keep my outfit simple but definitely not basic. I am not a flashy person but I need to practice shimmering for days like these.

Literally what happened to me the spring of 2020 when I got laid off during the shutdown.

when you are on the internet, and you happen upon a ship you did not previously know existed, and you think to yourself “lol why the hell would anyone ship that”, and you go into the ao3 tag for a laugh just to see what the fanfiction ecosystem is like for this absurd new rarepair you have discovered, and you see a fic and think without a trace of irony “hm i kind of wanna read that”. that is your last chance to get out. your make or break moment. you are icarus and your wings are starting to smoulder. you need to make a decision there and then about who you are, what kind of person you’re going to be. because once you click that link there’s no going back for you. and that is a promise.

I can't really say I've got much of a personal style anymore most of the time I just wear shit from the thrift store and look like a slop. I really fell off lol

[spring-ephemeral]

[miscmagpie]

I've been thinking about this for a couple of days but there's something so beautiful about how from the very beginning, Siffrin is loved.

In the final time loop, after Siffrin has said horrible things to his family, they still go after him. They still go to rescue their friend. Their family. They still say how they want to stay with Siffrin and everyone else.

There was never a need for all the friend quests. There was never a need for Siffrin to solve all of their problems. He never needed to be useful. Because there was already a long journey before the start of the game, the start of the loops. And on that journey these characters grew to know and care for each other.

Siffrin was always loved.

For some reason I don't know (nor I want to find out), my male celebrity crushes have consistently been 35-40 years old for a couple of years now. Of course, my automatic response to finding out someone's age has always been "ew, he's double my age".

I looked someone up yesterday, saw he was 40, and my brain went into that automatic response, only to realise 5 seconds later that the age gap is now 15. Still a lot, but I'm not really enjoying how the last 5 years have creeped on me, and my brain hasn't really caught up yet.

happy one year (and a few more days) to red, white & royal blue, the movie 🇺🇸🎂🇬🇧
