#cw: celebrity death

[anniegetyourbubblegum]

The world doesn't need another twitter post about how much you loved a tragically dead celebrity (no matter how sad it is), it needs you to pick up your phone and call your friend who's struggling and see if they need you today.

That's how you honor the people that are gone: by doing something kind yourself.

I love when two straight actors end up in a popular mlm pairing bc you get a dick waving contest for who tops

Legendary actor James Earl Jones has passed on to today. Rest in Peace

lol I mean, first of all I take anything some random person says abt the pre-covid finale with a grain of salt. Second of all, any heaven endgame is still shitty imo, it's sending the message that queer characters can only be happy in death which uhhh sucks. Third of all, any resolution where dean “suddenly” realizes his sexuality just does not jive with me bc that man has been flirting and sleeping with dudes and comfortably bisexual for decades. But anyways.

cw pet death under the cut

Well, I guess I largely vanished for the past couple of days for some people. We unexpectedly lost two of our ratties, one of which was one I had a close bond with, so that sure knocked me out for a day. I've been taking care of one of our little old ladies, Sammy, and we expected she would leave us fairly soon, but we lost Willow and Abbie within just a couple of days of each other instead. Have some cute photos of baby abbie and willow since they were Very Loved and had happy lives. Baby Abbie! When we saw how tiny she was (stunted growth, runt) and her little broken tail we had to take her home with us... somehow, miraculously, she could still move the whole tail! It's a mystery how it broke in the first place, and no one knew when we got her. We never had it amputated since it wasn't causing her any distress, and it just over time came to look like a little pikachu tail to us. She was my little heart rat and was glued to me near constantly.

all growed up button:

"FOUL TARNISHED...." And baby Willow!!

So cute in her pot pie the incredibly sweet /sadcute photos of her mommy, Bonnie (still with us!) protecting her the day we adopted them. They were adopted together due to their previous owners having to move and not being able to keep them. Bonnie was convinced we were going to steal her baby, so she kept sitting on her like this:

Willow was curious and wanted to make friends faster than Bonnie wanted, but Bonnie warmed up and finally stopped guarding so heavily. Part of her warming up included her adopting me, so uh... rat mom? She treats me like a baby rat. Mom, I'm a full grown Rat, thank you. Willow was ***fascinated*** sitting and watching Resident Evil 4. She sat through the whole game and any time a loud noise would happen she'd ZOOP back into a sleeve...then poke back out, ears perked and whiskers going. She did the same thing last christmas when we opened presents, so RE4 gets called "CHRISTMAS 4" in our house. also to the other ratty keepers out there, don't worry, the little cage is only a nursery/hospital cage and playtime cage, they lived in a giant critter nation with lots of friends. Anyway, I'm a little sad still so I wanted to share some cute photos and celebrate them instead. We're probably going to be looking around at the local breeders to see if anyone has any baby girls ready for adoption.

Episode 192: Death, Mourning, and Fandom

In Episode 192, “Death, Mourning, and Fandom,” Elizabeth and Flourish talk about the complicated dynamics around death within fandom, where our connections to each other can be deep but transient. Jumping off an article Elizabeth recently wrote for WIRED on the AO3’s Fannish Next-of-Kin feature—which lets you leave your fanworks to a fellow fan if you die—they talk about the failings of other digital death policies, disconnects between peoples’ fandom personas and regular lives, the differences between losing a fandom friend and a favorite fanwork creator, and how rarely the subject of death is talked about—in fandom or more broadly.

the united states view of death/grief is stupid

someone i know is dying right now and im still expected to show up at work and not have emotions about it

like im sorry my feelings are inconvenient to the slavery capitalist system

[undead-potatoes]

It’s all about “protect the children!!” until an actual child gets murdered as a direct result of the anti-trans hate machine

"Huh...?"

Glancing behind her as she fiddled with one of the big, thick plastic safety pins that were her earrings today, she tipped her head before kicking up one foot. She let herself fall back as she turned around, but never quite off her feet. Grinning, she waved excitedly beside her head, lifting the bat and placing it and her hand behind her back. She could feel the bloody blades lightly pressed into the back of her head.

"Heeeeeeey, Puddin' Pop~ What up?" She chirped in her regular voice, giggling behind her free hand, "Oh, these lamers? Nah, not really." With one foot lifted, she kicked it behind her and extended her foot to point with it, "That one knocked my Voxstar out of my hand when he walked past me," She then brought her foot forward to the last one to die, kicking his shoulder, "And this one laughed about it."

Sha glanced to the side at the other one, second to die, last to be mentioned.

"That one's just like. Riiiiiiiiiiight on the gnarly side of too ugly to live, you know? I did him a favor." They were imps, too, Hellborn. They wouldn't be coming back from this.

"But it's like, totes done. Dead and buried, sort of. Well. Dead. The burial isn't gonna be a casket thing. If I don't eat it, my plants will."

I graduated from undergrad 10 years ago today. Every major milestone in my life has been tempered by some major tragedy, personal or global. My graduation from teacher school was two days after Sandy Hook. I remember sitting in my hotel room in my college town (because I’d moved back home for student teaching and subsequent professional job) watching the coverage and weeping that I may have to one day make the decision to sacrifice my life for some else’s kid.

Part of the reason why I ended my teaching career is because I found myself in a situation where I actually had to make that decision. Of course, I put my body in between an armed assailant and a random student at my school, shielding a kid whose name I didn’t even know. It wasn’t until I was standing in front of the gigantic half-glass door after the lunatic was out of the room that I realized how much danger I was in, but the kids in the room were safe. 

I could never feel safe in my last school, and do not think I can feel safe in any school again.

I don’t get to talk--or even think about, really--being the first of my family to graduate with a four-year degree. About how I graduated with a phenomenal GPA or won awards for my teaching as a student teacher because so much was going on. 

After my graduation, there was a brief lunch and we drove home so my mother could get back to take care of my cancer-ridden grandmother who died a month later. 

Needless to say, I just ordered my graduation pictures (because I have !none!) and am booking a first class trip for the graduation trip I never got.

Shhh it’s going to be alright
