Oh to live in a country where Halloween is a big event
#itchyballstalk#balls being genuine and talking ab life for a moment#i'd love to walk around and see people in costumes left and right#shitty halloween decorations here and there#trick or treating being more of a thing#people in crazy costumes getting their pictures taken#gods. im SO lucky i got to experience Halloween in Dublin last year it was so great#i was dressed up as Laughing Jack and looked freaky and weird (as perusual) and it made people smile !!!#an entire family on vacation took pictures with me they were so happy#a guy who saw me in a mall literally yelled OH MY GOODNESS and kids were going ooooooohhhhh#i wish i had walked around the city a bit longer. just to see other people who were dressed up and having fun#I mean we do have Carnaval here but it would be so cool if Halloween was just as big of an event for dressing up#the Touloulous and gorilla costumes in the chilly night would go CRAZYYYYYY#i should get back to writing my report.

Ireland has been one of my dream destination for so long, I can't believe I'm going there!!!!

pop stars aren't born in the 70s anymore like they used to be. These days they're born in a year uncomfortably close to my own which makes me clutch my chest and cry out
#music#musicians#Nia Archives was on radio the other day going 'my album's the first jungle album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize in over 25 years#that's such an honour! The last one was Roni Size and I wasn't even born then' --hang on a minute#that album was like. 1997. 'I wasn't even born yet'?#Folks she is a year older than me 😭(❤️ but also personally 😒)#Cat Burns' Mercury shortlisted album is called 'early twenties'. It is a term I am told I can no longer use for myself.#She says 'the album was a 4-year long process. I started writing it when I was 20.' Cat Burns is my age.#CMAT. Dublin's 'global superstar'. 1997. Literally she's such a classic popstar/country star I'd have expected to read like '1987' or somet#not in terms of saying she's old or anything; just that that seems appropriate for someone who's in control of their career#CMAT is like 2 years older than I am. It's so wild to me#especially this time! There have been a lot of debut albums you see#and I'm really proud of all these--I suppose at my age I'm allowed to say--kids; my peers? But it's also so strange to see#My peers are at the Mercuries. Declan McKenna is like a year older than me#That has been in my head ever since Brazil came out. He was 15. I was 14.#sigh it's a long road to either acceptance or such radical change that I 'catch up' with everyone; whatever that means#yes I'm well aware that comparison isn't a thing to do. I know it's not productive.#I try not to let it get me anxious; afterall what do I do about it?#It's not like I've got the ball rolling on anything significant to speak of. I'm just at ordinary work#idk also the industry I work in doesn't exist anymore hahahaaaa so yeah. No career. Only far away admirations! :)#We will have no infrastructure and we will be happy.#Don't read all this; just laugh at the meme about age and move on#growing up

Okay, can someone who is more experienced at flying help me out? If I have a layover in Dublin before my final destination in Manchester (UK), do I have to re-go through security and possibly go through border control in Dublin since it's a different country? I'm a US citizen if that matters.
#personal#It's the only thing that's confusing me trying to figure this out.#I've never flown internationally. Can you tell?#It's my layover for both flights and I know you can do pre-clearance in Dublin on the way back if you're American which is pretty nice. :)

'The newer progress flags are kitschy and meaningless and too associated with rainbow capitalism for me to find them worthy of respect' COUNTERPOINT whenever I saw the intersex-inclusive one during pride month a year or two back it made me ecstatic because that's the only place I got to see the intersex flag outside of specifically intersex spaces so you can tear it from my cold dead hands
#like i love to see the trans flag out and about i really do but the intersex flag in the wild gives me the warm fuzzies#i was in dublin for 2 weeks for a course and all the shops had the intersex ver of the progress flag and it made my day whenever i saw it#like if u have a hand in any sort of pride thing fly our flag and ill love u forever maybe?? pls??

for the first time ever I set a long term goal for myself to work towards (save enough money for a six month solo backpacking trip) and life really does feel a bit better thanks to it. knowing that there's something I'm looking forward to. that I'm giving this desk job two years. that it has a purpose. so far my life has been very "let's just see what happens idk I don't have plans" but this? this feels good. and for someone who was so depressed I barely got out of the house two years ago it feels like a huge step tbh
#personal#sofi.txt#''running away to another country won't mysteriously fix your mental health you know'' well WATCH ME#the only future i ever knew was decided for me by outside forces but then i said no I'm doing my own thing#and idk what's going to happen or what I'm gonna do or what job I'll have or how long#moving to dublin was one step and then i had time off so i went on a trip twice#all the while watching a few insane journeys of some solo travellers#and for years i was like damn i want to do something like that#but my dreams were also very vague like i couldn't believe it could ever happen#but then i had this idea for a trip that wasn't really done yet (!!!)#like haha what if i did that. jk. unless#i saw how long it would take how much money I'd need how long it'll take me to save that#if it's doable and where exactly i want to go. and it is. so i decided that's what I'm going to do#2026 here we go#I'm not saying where I'm going BUT it will cover 3 continents#(if anyone's worried i have travelled solo a lot these past two years just never that long)

Just back from pride and there was a concert and some lovely performances (unfortunately there were many I couldn’t stick around for)
But as the opening act was doing the final song, a group of Palestinian protesters barrelled up onto stage with their banners, and while all the performers held their own well for the most part and were able to finish the performance, it still knocked everyone off balance.
They then stayed onstage and interrupted the next segment to talk about Palestine and how it’s a genocide. How many of the organisations funding pride this year were supporting Israel. And while I know that’s so important and needs to be talked about, it made everyone uncomfortable. No one forgot Palestine at the parade! As far as I could see (considering I missed some of it), nearly all of the groups and floats marching had at least one Palestine flag, and many were chanting and had banners supporting Palestine. There was a lot of support for Ukraine as well, which no one is talking about as much (as far as I’ve seen) since it’s been overshadowed.
It was lashing rain. Everyone was soaked and there was little shelter or seating available, and it was taking a lot from people to stay at the celebrations in th weather, and the mood immediately dropped.
If it wasn’t for the amazing drag king who came on after they were finally ushered off giving an inspiring impromptu speech about the topic and tying it back to pride, I don’t think the choir that came on after would’ve been able to recover the mood on their own.
#the thing I’m most pissed off about is that they couldn’t even do their protest right.#the speaker wanted the rest of their protesters to get involved but literally only two of them would speak up#they interrupted the drag queens show and there was NOT that much space of the stage#and they nearly refused to get off the stage when they were done#AND they kept changing up their chants with uneven intervals and no order and I could see the sign language interpreter getting pissed over#it#queer#pride#Dublin#Ireland#pride parade#I feel like a privileged asshole for complaining but like. it just pisses me off that they think they can get on stage and completely ignore#the effort that hundreds of other people have put into supporting Palestine and protesting Israeli occupation during the parade#and most of them were still waving around their banners and signs while the show was on#it’s not like people just got to the show and stuff and forgot!!#then they had the gall to say ‘fuck cops!’ while leaving the stage#WE DONT HAVE THOSE HERE!!!#YES THE GARDAÍ SUCK BUT THEYRE NOT FUCKING COPS#ugh#anyway#happy pride everyone#happy pride 🌈

one of my friends from college is the best I love her but she's just so richbrained yet believes herself to not be.. like be real u went to a private school that was eight grand a year 😭 i can't deal with the things that come out of her mouth sometimes as much as i cherish her. this other lad in the year ahead was saying to her before that he wouldn't have been able to go to college if he didn't get a scholarship and she was like repeating this to me like WOW. 🤯 really makes you think 🤔 never met anyone like that 🫶 like WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN
#also she like loves to defend private education like there's this one thing she said that always sticks in my mind it was like#everyone would sent their kids to a 'good' aka private school if they had the chance... like don't u think it's a little bit crazy#that a good education should be through a 48k paywall. In ur case. Interesting like. but what do I know i only went to a deis school 🤯#it's si funny though whenever I talk abt getting out of my bubble as in interests n like cishet normativity they're all like so true#but they specifically mention being around poors likr they're like different economic backgrounds... 'Im so used to my south dublin bubble'#like yes girl we can tell. you're shocked by the fact I didn't understand the dublin public transport system at first or know what KPMG is.#anyways.

Having just read poor things, I do not know what would make you read it and set it in London. Instead of Glasgow. Where it is set.
#phenomenal book!!!!#very distinctly Glaswegian like incredibly so#moving the setting to London maybe the most obnoxious thing I’ve seen an adaptation do in a while#what next yorgos? will we do Dubliners in Oxford?
