#but that's over

[squishykitty825]

Leaving behind a piece of my heart

You were so cold that day

Wrapped in the blanket of what remained of a well-worn quilt

Your body was stiff,

But you were still silky soft

I wasn't expecting you to be so cold

So lifeless

But I should've known better

I know enough about forensics to know how these things work

I know what happens when something dies

When the death rattle breathing gets silenced as the soul is leaving

Leaving grief and sorrow in its wake

Leaving me crying and screaming

You were so cold as I carried your little body, so heavy despite how small you felt in my arms

Down to the forest floor where a brother and his best friend dug you a hole

A resting place of sorts

With forgotten leaves scattered about like fallen stars,

I laid you down to rest

Amidst the dirt and trees,

Wrapped in that small blanket remains of a once grand quilt,

And watched your blanketed form get covered with dirt

My eyes blurred with unshed tears

It's a wonder I even have any left to cry

All too soon,

It's over

You're dead and buried

My gathered family leaves

I hesitate at the spot,

My lungs tight and heavy

I stare at your grave thinking,

I'm not ready to leave

I'm not ready to let you go

But I do

I leave,

Walk away,

And let you go

Leaving without you

And leaving behind a piece of my heart

Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.

Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.

Light answers a tough question

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know
