Brain: How many times have you watched this scene? Me: Yes.

Eddie would be the ‘mmmm blocking out the haters’ vine of the boy with spoons over his eyes

[kittlyns]

It is so insane to feel everyone getting sick of you. Like goddamn I'm sorry I'm going through what may be my worst year yet but you putting up with me is somehow equivalent to christ on the fucking cross all of a sudden.

Petsitting money came in so i ordered my kobo ereader! I'm so excited! I think this'll actually let me read the books on my Libby tbr, and it'll be nice to be able to take multiple books with me without worrying about space.

[yououghtaknow]

they weren’t lying, that going outside, talking to people, going on a walk to get a little drink from the gas station really helps your mental health

[cagedchoices]

HAPPY LABOR DAY! i hope that everyone had a good weekend, regardless of if it was a ridiculously busy or quiet and low-key time for you 💙

[whentherewerebicycles]

here I am. it’s morning. unsurprisingly I feel really bad. I must get through this weekend. the day:

5:30 get up, take dogs out, start laundry

6-8 pack everything but clothes (don’t forget safety pin and shoes for the wedding), clean out car, switch laundry, take notes for the paragraph I have to write to introduce this reading, try not to read the forums ugh, cry as much as I need to, breakfast, finish writing the paragraph

8:30-9 shower

9-10 finish packing, finish cleaning out car, text pet sitter about dropoff time, call doctor. I decided I don’t want to leave the wedding to get the bloodwork done unless she says it’s really necessary which I don’t think it will be. I’ll ask her if I can wait till monday which will be agonizing but for sure better than getting confirmation my numbers have plateaued or dropped while I’m at a wedding with all my college friends.

10-1 five more interviews 🫠

interview 1

pack toiletries and practice song

interview 2

take the dogs out and practice song

interview 3

pack chargers, airpods, books; eat something for lunch if I can work up an appetite

interview 4

practice song, pack up dog stuff

interview 5

1:20-2 drop off dogs at sitter’s

try to catch the 2:25 or 3:15 ferry

try to find somewhere where I can practice this solo ugh that was all I was supposed to do last night but I was busy just being a snotty sobbing mess for 4+ hours instead

drive to the venue & pick up A at the other ferry terminal if the timing works out

6-8ish I think we’re rehearsing?? I didn’t look at my music that closely either 🫠🫠🫠 this is my own fault for putting it off to the last minute and then getting derailed in the last minute ughhh ok it’s fine

8-9:30 concert I guess

I want to hang out with friends and have a nice time and I will do that. but I also want to remind myself that I can tap out and go back to my room at any point if I am not feeling so good in my soul you know

[slippery-minghus]

whew. just spent what felt like forever packing one (1) very large box of kitchen things. doesn't feel like i did a lot, but it was just as much time and effort going through the shit and throwing out what i don't need as it was actually packing. so having only one box to "show for it" feels a little misleading lmao.

taking a short break now, and then one more spurt of packing before i call it quits for the day 💪

the thing about having trauma is that you think you're coping so great and fine and that you're doing well and then you realise not only are you actually going through it a bit but also you haven't been coping well and the people around you have been caught in the fallout whether they realise it or not. and then more things change and you realise it'll continue to happen even though you still feel freshly 16 and don't know how to deal with all the change

updates as of 22 oct

Travis Dermott knew that he would draw attention with his actions in the Coyotes’ home opener against the Anaheim Ducks at Mullett Arena on Saturday. The Arizona defenseman just hoped that the spotlight might shine on the issue that he was addressing, not on him.

“You don’t really want to go against rules that are put in place by your employer, but there’s some people who took some positive things from it,” Dermott said. “That’s kind of what I’m looking to impact.

“You want to have everyone feel included and that’s something that I have felt passionate about for a long time in my career. It’s not like I just just jumped on this train. It’s something that I’ve felt has been lacking in the hockey community for a while. I feel like we need supporters of a movement like this; to have everyone feel included and really to beat home the idea that hockey is for everyone.”

“I won’t lie,” said Dermott, who is playing on a one-year, two-way contract. “From the outside, it’s easy to see that I’m putting my career on the line for something. I definitely went through some emotional ups and downs that night, not regretting anything by any means, but I’d love to have maybe done a couple of steps a little different by making sure that everyone was aware of what was going on before I did it.

“I don’t want to put my teammates or my coaches or my GMs or the equipment managers in any kind of bad light when it’s their job to kind of look out for something like this happening. It was definitely something that I did just by myself and was prepared to kind of deal with whatever repercussions the league decides to push towards that. I’m not going to back off and say that this battle is won, but we’re going to find better ways to do it.”

As Dermott noted, LGBTQ+ inclusion is an issue that he has supported for a long time. Without getting into specifics, Dermott said the issue is personal for him because it impacts people close to him.

“I’d be lying if I said I haven’t shed tears about this on multiple occasions,” he said. “So yeah, it’s something I’m definitely very passionate about.

“I’ve met a lot of people that from the outside, it looks like they have everything going right in their life and they have a smile on their face every time they talk to you. But sometimes when we get closer to people and get comfortable enough for them to open up to you, you can see that there’s some pretty dark stuff happening to some good people. It doesn’t take too many times encountering something like that for it to really change someone.

“I’ve been blessed to have some of those opportunities put in front of me to really change my view of what being a good person means; what being a good father and a good example and role model means going forward. You really see how people are hurting and it’s because of a system that maybe no one’s intentionally trying to be malicious about, but until you’ve really had that first-person experience seeing people hurting from it right in front of you, it’s tough to kind of take steps.”

It would be a surprise if the league handed down any sort of punishment. The optics alone would add to the public relations damage that the original ban created. Even so, Dermott reiterated his desire to bring the entire franchise into the fold before he takes similar actions in the future, but he also made it clear that he will not be silenced on the topic.

“It’s not like I’m shutting up and going away,” he said. “I know more questions are going to be coming. We’re just going to be as prepared as we can be to just spread love. That’s the thing. It’s gay pride that we’re talking about, but it could be men’s health. It could be any war. It’s just wanting world peace. Everyone’s got to love each other a little bit more.

“Like my parents said growing up, ‘How awesome would it be to be the guy that people look up to?’ That’s what really hit home when I was a kid, especially from my mom. You want to grow up and be that guy. You want to be the guy that’s having the impact on kids like NHL players had on you. If they had been racist or bigoted, that’s going to have an effect on you.

“With how many eyes are on us, especially with the young kids coming up in the new generation, you want to put as much positive love into their brain as you can. You want them to see that it’s not just being taught or coming from maybe their parents at home. They need to see it in the public eye for it to really make an effect.”
