i'm a simple guy, okay? i see a fragment of a stone tablet with cuneiform on it, i get emotional about the inexorable passage of time and man's eternal, futile efforts to leave a mark upon this world.

I have no clue how I'm gonna do this whole finish uni thing and clean all this personal mess but all the gods know I'm the most stubborn woman and they tremble and if I'll have to drag myself through this with broken bones, shattered nails and spitting blood and no heart I will, I will, I will, I will, I will,... I'm no longer allowing anyone to have this much power over me, I'm refusing to drown, I'm refusing to give up, I'm refusing to satisfy the pleas and cryes for me, I refuse to let uni defeat me, I'm new woman and I'm not afraid of anything and I will in fact figure this out and probably be rude along the way

Just found out the person I loaned out all of our 9 month clothes to passed them on to someone else. And now they're gone. All of them.
I fucking knew this would happen. When I let her borrow them, I initially took out the really cute ones, in case this happened, but there wasn't much left, so I gave her all of it. And now my baby doesn't have anything that fits.
And I feel a bit silly to be so upset about this, especially since this person lent us a whole bunch of baby stuff, but I've returned all of it as Little Miss has grown, and today, I was expecting to get all of the clothes she desperately needs and it's all gone. And some of it was so fucking cute!
So now I have to find some time tomorrow to go shopping for baby clothes. At thrift stores that I know don't have anything good, but we can't afford new. We can't afford thrifted either, but I don't have any other choice. I'm so mad. I've been so careful the stuff this person lent to us, only to have what little I could spare not given the same respect. And now I have to unexpectedly spend time and money I don't have to replace my baby's really cute brand new clothes with ugly, second hand clothes.

you know what boils my blood.
over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."
i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.
but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.
today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.
the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.
so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

Prompt 329
Bruce was admittedly suspicious when Talia requests a meeting, and is admittedly still upset with the entire hiding Damian’s existence from him for literal years. But he also admits that he just… has to take a moment.
“Run that by me again please?” He had to have misheard, right? Or gotten drugged by something maybe.
Talia sighs, sounding just as tired as he felt. “Father’s tea supplier has moved to Gotham after an argument, and he wishes to discuss the agreement of him not entering the city- to speak with said vendor.”

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love
