Oh my god. Ok trauma dumping sorry
My ex kinda did this, but in his own way, I just saw a snap memory of him just putting his whole hand over my face and keep putting it back there when I'd move and oh my god how the fuck was that relationship so comfortable and why is dating so fucking hard pls just throw me off the pier
i hope u find someone that mindlessly plays with your hands and lightly strokes your legs and massages your back and plays with your hair and i hope that u feel like you’re home when u look at them
#honestly we probably were so comfortable with eachother bc we did coke like every night lmaoooo#could have contributed ahahaha#when i remember that. im glad we broke up but fuck man#but fuck man#modern dating is hard#and dating in the city is hard#i should just do coke on every first date loool#jk#im straight edge

Guess who's excited to get their ballot in the mail tomorrow? Me! So I slapped together a quick comic, as well as a map based off of this and this. A list of when same day registration is available is at the bottom of this article.
But also: wow, early voting stuff is so confusing! For example, I get my ballot in the mail tomorrow, and I can immediately mail it back. But if I want to drop it off in person, I need to either go to a special ballot drop box by city hall, or wait for early in-person voting sites to open, which isn't until Oct 22nd for my state.
Or like, early voting in Louisiana is apparently from Oct 16 to Oct 29th? And then there's a week of no voting, and then polls open again on Nov 5th? Or like how the only day you can register and then immediately vote is Oct 26th?
Anyway, best way to figure out the info for your area is to check your state and county's election website. I've found usvotefoundation.org to have clear fact sheets for each state (including ID requirements, polling location finders, as well as direct links to state election websites): https://www.usvotefoundation.org/state-voter-information . You can also jump to each state's election websites via usa.gov, or by searching directly, though some websites are more confusing than others.
Happy voting!
Oh, and here's the voter registration deadlines map from last time, in case you haven't registered and want to register. Oct 7th is the last day for a bunch of states!
#us election 2024#last election cycle i literally found out my county's early voting dates via an ad on my grocery store shopping cart#anyway it's time to research ballot measures!! and city council!#as an introvert i love mail-in ballots bc i get to curl up on the couch on a sunday afternoon to do my voting#I'm glad my state makes it so easy#but good luck to those states where it's hard#unfortunately the only way to make it easier in those states is by voting in better state legislatures and election boards#i actually had the map done early last week but i wanted to draw a little comic to go with it lol#and then i procrastinated and now it's 2am on oct 7th oops

I'm so peeved that literally every aspect of the Gerudo in BOTW/TOTK serves to make me mad bc I love the Gerudo desert and I think that some of the most interesting NPCs to speak to are Gerudo.........alas
#august.chr#trying my damndest to piece together a BOTW/TOTK timeline bc I dont believe for an instant that the divine beasts are 10k years old#and i'm scraping my brain trying to think if any cutscenes from pre-calamity mention the ban on voe in the city#bc i'm trying to justify an in-universe reason why the gerudo would implement such a policy#given you know. they're a trading city. and banning men. means banning half of all possible trade partners.#my best guess is that the gerudo were always somewhat isolationist but were much more lenient#until the calamity hit and the gerudo faced serious damages from ganon's destruction and vah naboris causing sandstorms for a while#in the turmoil the gerudo banned visitation but after enough years it became obvious that this was destroying the city's economy#so they opened the gates back up but only to women. because the gerudos' need to find men to sustain their population in combination with#the new Inaccessability of gerudo women invited a rather predatory type of crowd. so this discriminatory gate system was an attempt to cull#this behavior. but it only made it worse because it just cemented gerudo women in the cultural perception as hard to get and Foreign#<-(aka Interesting skeevy edition)#so to the gerudo opening the gates means the not unlikely possibility of inviting harassment from scummy guys but not opening the gate will#never allow this terrible dynamic to heal. and instead of trying to forge a healthier relationship with dating for gerudo women#the gerudo have leaned into this gender seperationist ideal. as seen with mattison and the whole culture of removing young gerudo girls from#their fathers and the kingdom of hyrule at large in favor of staying in gerudo town#anyways sorry i hate the gerudo's worldbuilding but i actively hate the fan approaches to make it Woke Gender Essentialism more#it's literally not better if you go 'well the gerudo would let trans women into town if they just claimed to be women' like.#no they wouldn't. they let link into town in the gerudo vai fit because he passes as a woman in the outfit. if he changes clothes in town he#stops passing and they kick him out.#gerudo town is literally TERF city it's a city where a society of women have isolated themselves and banned men from interacting and will#only allow women they subjectively deem to be Womanly Enough to enter their gates#and teach young gerudo girls that men are dangerous and that they have to grow up in gerudo town until they come of age. like it's literally#a law that gerudo diaspora have to move to gerudo town before puberty#anyways sorry this is like the third time in the past 2 years i've drafted a post about how i think the gerudo's worldbuilding#is both illogical and abusive to the gerudo growing up in it. but illogical and abusive does not make for unrealistic worldbuilding either#so i want to find a way to work within its confines while also complaining loudly about it the entire time

i love it when gay people are hicks . life mission of mine is to rep for the gay people who are not from cities and dont dress like it or talk like it and who don't plan to leave wherever small place they're from to be in a city, however easier it would be . i think even we think of our community as being city-based, and those of us out on the fringes get sort of forgotten unless we relocate, but we're out here! surrounded by corn tassels! looking for morels! a good 50% of us ecology people! dropping our consonants and wearing our barn boots and never seeing a gay bar ever come to our town but staying for the forest or the prairie or the desert anyway! yeehaw i love gay people
#sometimes i get so lonely thinking how hard it is to date out here . and stay out here#i mean im not gonna lie its slim pickins. most of the gay ppl i know in town are already in relationships and not looking to expand#and those that arent i dont know about because they're all closeted. so am i to an extent . i dont flag very loudly or anything#sometimes i think maybe life would be easier surrounded by people all the time. where subcultures are bigger#where visibly flagging as 'subculture' wouldn't be so stressful but the community would also be big enough that if you didnt flag.#you wouldn't miss out on anything for lack of being noticed#but then i remember mary oliver . and im like well mary oliver would not think you have to move to the city to be gay#mary oliver would just sit around on the porch watching the deer. while gay#mary oliver would encourage me to simply notice more animals

Messaged my spontaneous/flaky/last minute friend to be like. Can we PLEASE arrange to meet up a few days advance to do something I know I can definitely do (that preferably doesn't involve a bunch of other people I don't know) because I CANNOT DO spontaneous meeting up and I feel bad every time she suggests meeting up, like, TOMORROW, with no details like time or place, and I have to be like "No." even if I'm technically free
#i love her but we are. very different and nearly incompatible in that way#it's because she does loads of stuff all the time and on any given day she'll probably have about three to five things she COULD do#so she doesn't actually decide what she's gonna do till the last minute#meanwhile im like PLEASE can we just COMMIT TO A DATE AND PUT IT IN THE CALENDAR!!!#it's annoying bc she's like. probably my only irl friend in my city and i genuinely don't DO much (and mostly like it that way)#but it's just SO HARD to arrange anything with her so i see her like once every few months maybe#pls maya im too autistic for this 😭

I want a dating app thats actually just tumblr except like with a geographic filter so i can meet people who live closer to me, but other than that its just blogging about gay shit until you fall in love with your mutuals and then you can actually hang out irl cause you live in the same country! Wouldnt that be nice!!
#yes i want to meet people and make new friends and maybe date someone but also i am so scared of dating apps!!!!!#idk how they work and also im always afraid ill somehow see my coworkers on there (and im not out at work)#why is all of this so hard#why cant i just happen to meet a nice person and it all just works out somehow ?#i wish all my mutuals lived in my city so we could meet and do fun stuff together#is that too much to ask#mine

I was talking to my brother about how much harder it is to find dating options as a lesbian and he said "no, your gaydar just isn't good enough" so I replied "what, like yours is 🤨" and he goes "yeah, how'd you think I found Faith?" Faith. his bisexual fiancee. I can't believe I got got so badly by a hetero.
#this conversation happened two hours ago im still fuming#also im aware it should not be that hard to find women who date women in fact the entire world including my city is rife with them#im just an anxious mess in person who wont dare to assume anything about anybody this is a me problem

The amount of talking and negotiating I'm doing with this landlord is giving Andrew Garfield as Jonathan Larson talking to the electric company. Y'know?
#im in hell. this is my personal hell#i havent been at my current job for at least six months but i was at my last one for over six months#which should meet the requirement#she said i need a job in the city i want to move to to be accepted#maam its hard to have a job in a city i cant live in yet#so i asked if i was accepted to a job that met income requirements would that count even if i havent started yet#she didnt answer. now shes asking for dates for my last job#ive rented from this company before! ive met this woman before!!#i was never late on rent. never needed any maintenance. left my apartment in good condition#that should speak for itself#maybe im crazy. maybe im the one in the wrong here#but i dont think i am! i think landlords are a little full of themselves#this apartment doesnt have a bathroom in unit. you have to walk across the hall to use your bathroom#i think that should be a bigger concern than how many months ive been at my job#im just saying maybe no bathroom in unit is a bit of a hard sell#you eant a cosigner? ill get a cosigner. ill get a job in the city before ive moved to the city. ill jump through your fucking hoops#because i have no other option#idk maybe i should become like dexter#but just for killing landlords. cuz im getting a little sick of their attitude

the goddamn toast water post just made me utter "history is fucking real" in the most solemn and serious tone of voice, out loud, to myself, in the goddamn bathtub
#life is ridiculous and I'm its biggest clown#in my defense it's not even 9 am and I woke up at 6 for some reason (the reason prob being that I start work at 6 atm)#so I chose (violence) reading Stray Gods fic in bed for a few hours followed by the need to just vibe in the bathtub#I've only just had my coffee and a slice of cold pizza leftover from yesterday and it's such a uni-days thing to do#I've kinda missed it. tho I wasn't drinking coffee back then (how the fuck did I survive mornings without it??)#anyway. feeling very soft and tender abt my past self today. I miss her even if she was just as much of a mess. in different ways#the kind of mess who would openly flirt with some strange dude she didn't really know over the phone#the kind of mess who moved across the country just for a chance at trying with sb she liked who really never wanted to date her#the kind of mess who's always fallen for her best friends and who'll likely never stop#the kind of mess who feel so damn hard for a woman 15 yrs older than her just bc she was kind and sweet and a mess herself#the kind of mess who moved in with a friend she was solidly in love with for a bit who had her boyfriend over most nights#just.. it's not all about those feelings but they're decidedly a big part of why I've ever done anything#and I will prob always miss the friend who'd lie on the train platform with me just giggling into the night as ppl walked past#her head on my stomach and me just feeling so high it felt like I'd never stop floating (just for a while though)#I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that Mi miss just letting my feelings take me places even at the risk of losing it all#I'm so much more hesitant and guarded now. and sure part of it is being medicated for my bipolar. it's good that I don't call strangers#and almost invited them over. or that I no longer walk barefoot through the city at night by myself (usually)#but I do miss just idk. intimacy I guess. and how easily it used to come to me to just try and be open abt wanting it I guess#oh well. best be getting out of the bathtub. it's not a good place to be with these thoughts. and it's too early for this anyway#a day in the life of..

no but like i’m going to lose it if i see one more twitter girlie complaining that ‘5sos5 isn’t getting a longer tour’
like firstly, asking your favorite band to do a tour the size of tmh tour every year is a little silly. like it made sense last year. they hadn’t toured since 2019, they had basically two new albums to promote, and the majority of the dates were rescheduled from an existing summer tour. like it made a lot of sense.
but the primary complaint i keep seeing (aside from them not playing another extensively long tour) is that this is somehow a ‘diss’ on 5sos5? when the tour last year? was literally. in part. a 5sos5 tour? it was renamed after a single from the new album to better reflect that? they played 5 songs (i think 6 at the aus dates) from the new album which when you consider the full songs they played on that setlist (that was also quite long!!!) that’s like almost a quarter of the set. i just do not understand where this complaint is coming from. it’s not unheard of to do touring for an album before it’s official release.
ok i’m done. also know i’m preaching to the choir here but i stg it’s a new tour! it’s a new live album! be excited damn it!!!
#i just think it’s unreasonable for you to expect your faves to go through a period of burnout every year by overworking idk#like ffs they did 3 outdoor back to back dates in tx last summer and we quite literally saw the Physical effect that had on at least ashton#in a big way#they’ve worked so hard over the course in their career like they deserve to be able to take it a little easy#i know this is coming from a place of privilege since 9 times out of 10 they hit a city within 3 hours of me on every tour#but i’ve held this opinion since i was a kid living in the middle of nowhere w 0 access to concerts

#today I went to watch Hamlet on the summer theater (open space. no roof)#and it started raining. hard enough for the play to stop midway through#they said they'll see if they can come back some other date to play it again (they go to different cities each night)#but honestly I doubt it#and the ticket was expensive too#:(((((#not art#text#me complaining

Tag drop: Guizhong (don't mind me re-dropping this with the fixed ones, shh)
#guizhong. [ many things only seem to surface beneath the moon's poignant glow. wherever its light shines; the heart is wont to follow. ]#guizhong: ic. [ wherever her spirit may be among the countless grains of sand and specks of dust between the harbor and the mountains. ]#guizhong: countenance. [ and because they are afraid; they try so hard to become more intelligent. this i understand. ]#guizhong: introspection. [ although she did not live to see the splendid sights of today: she was as much a hero as any other. ]#guizhong: meta. [ her manuscripts lie unfinished in her abode. the blank pages give cause for contemplation on what might have been. ]#guizhong: little notes. [ she always sought to make everyone happy and one must say: she had quite the gift for it. ]#guizhong: wishes. [ it took a treasure hunt just to preserve the commandments that were once the lifeblood of a whole civilization. ]#guizhong: etc. [ we think of human life as like a lantern that's lit one minute and extinguished the next. but are we adepti so different?#guizhong: mortals. [ at their full potential; they could be her equal. a human who has as much to teach an adeptus as to learn from them. ]#guizhong: guili plains. [ as guizhong once said: “it takes every blade of grass and every flower to make a homeland.” ]#guizhong: liyue. [ perhaps she will look at the liyue of today and steal a smile when she sees the prosperous land that it has become. ]#guizhong: realm of clouds. [ a voyage to a sanguine sky. ]#guizhong: mechanical arts. [ in one's heart; i knew that she was indeed the superior talent in the mechanical arts. ]#guizhong: glaze lilies. [ they were far more abundant back then. the entire fields would appear to the eye as a veritable sea of flowers. ]#guizhong: adepti. [ until the moon set and the sun rose. and only then would the banquet finally come to an end. ]#guizhong: morax. [ whoever it was that revered her so much was very clever indeed. ]#guizhong: guili. [ with shortness of breath; i will explain the infinite. and how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist. ] delusiona#guizhong: marchosius. [ who would dare snub the stove god and his wondrous creations? at the sight: we would all drop any argument. ]#guizhong: streetward rambler. [ it almost felt like she was back again. sitting right there on the stone stool next to me; chatting away. ]#guizhong: cloud retainer. [ we each had our ideals; and neither one of us would yield to the other. ]#guizhong: skybracer. [ to who lived by the mountain; he was their savior. they thought higher of him than they thought of the lord of geo.#guizhong: osial. [ she would disrupt the silence around them with a hum; as if to sing along to the harmony of water. was this his song? ]#guizhong: sea gazer. [ he was quite the braggart when it came to those collectibles he was so fond of; he always loved to show them off. ]#guizhong: ganyu. [ if we planted flowers in the guili plains; do you think that one day we'd be able to recreate the sea of glaze lilies? ]#guizhong: v. descension. [ she descended whose dominion was over dust; and whose reach shrouded the skies for thousands of miles around. ]#guizhong: v. guili assembly. [ it's great to have it back but i want to go back to the world. and start with guili plains. ]#guizhong: v. archon war. [ they fought upon the plains; where black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered. ]#guizhong: v. present. [ all wrapped up in a city that has existed for many moons to date. all these things: they are why people chase it. ]#guizhong: inquiries. [ hmph. she always had a way with words. ]

if mine does actually come back i’ll unironically be really really pissed it wasn’t shinada both of them don’t need to but like first of all imagine the redditors second shinada.
i love myself enough to never consider redditors so i will simply Not Do That <3
#snap chats#i love shinada but i dont really see a point in him coming back#like as much as i love shinada and tanimura their story arcs wrapped up nicely#tho at least with tanimura there's more reason for him to come back if he's working alongside date#shinada's city isn't even a reoccurring stage it was truly a one-and-done deal#and he's no one OVERLY remarkable he truly is Just A Guy probably living his best life#it'd be cool if he popped in for a sec but yeah im p at peace with him not coming back#though that's not to say i want mine coming back either. it'd just be way funnier if he did LOL#like truly Why Are You Here. Daigo's In The Mountains Why Are You In Hawaii. Maybe.#realistically tho i don't see them bringing mine back anytime soon. would just be hard to do so#esp when yoko made it sound like he wanted to do so with tact and not just to do so#which Like I Talked About Beforehand makes perfect sense and is commendable
