I just turned in my last assignment for my first semester of grad school and was it good? Absolutely not but good God at least I'm done
#It was for my immigration history class and I wrote a lit review about like#Academics who argue for the existence of a Filipino diaspora (as opposed to just Filipinos living and working abroad which is different)#And I kept having to triple check my sources because I kept trying to include shit that came from like. Regular ass conversations with my#Filipino fiancée and her family.#Like did this source actually mention balikbayan boxes or did my brain fill that in because I've heard of them elsewhere?#Who fucking knows not me. I forgot how to read halfway through the semester.#Anyway! I'm done now! Thank fuck!#I actually love grad school finals week just kicked my ass#This assignment specifically I switched gears on and started from scratch less than 24 hours ago because I am a fucking idiot

i always feel a bit vindicated when my best friend’s husband does a bad job taking care of her because he’s an honest to god idiot
#he’s like. such a pre-dad he’s like a guy with way too much confidence but not enough like practical knowledge and he never thinks ahead#they’re traveling in colombia (my bff is colombian american so it’s like her heritage trip) and they’re stranded in a small town in the#middle of the night because they didn’t realize their hostel only took cash and his bank froze his account for using it abroad so they can’t#get any money out. because he told her to leave her wallet at home to ‘minimize how much they’re carrying’#IDIOT!! did it not say on your reservation you needed cash. why do you only have one card with you. why didn’t you have more cash????#also it’s just a loss for feminism moment. she lets him make all the decisions when they do stuff like this#and that’s how i end up CONSTANTLY bailing their asses out of situations he gets them into

I love reading about new beginnings, and the end of something announcing the start of something better, but right now I need characters who are failures and losers and who are closing an exciting chapter in their lives just to open a boring one
#incompatible with. most stuff i read tbh#like by nature reading romance often means the start of a fun new relationship#which is always a win and a step up because you have another source of happiness in your life and a new relationship#but i'm going to be done with my year abroad and i'm going back to live with my parents#and either redo my 3rd year or take a break and work#and none of that feels like going forward and The Next Big Step#i am doing the metaphorical opposite of going off to college#and i would like some fictional littoe guy to also be miserable and doing the opposite of going to college#so it's not just me feeling melancholy and like an idiot#i'll take thinking it's gonna suck and actually it doesn't honestly i just want someone else's feelings to be like mine#wow i have a ramble tag now#england adventures

Citizen travel should be permitted.
Recently, Asian women, who were impressed by Korean movies, flocked to a Swiss lakeside village as a ``sacred place,'' and said that environmental pollution is serious. Tourists 1000 times more than villagers rush in and leave a large amount of garbage.
An idiot has no right to travel. Travel should only be allowed to those authorized by the authorities. In old Japan, only those who could carry the country on their backs were allowed to travel and study abroad. that's fine.
Babylman
一般市民の旅行は、許可制で行われるべし。
最近、韓国の映画に感銘を受けたアジア系の、おもに女性が、「聖地」として、スイスの湖畔の村に押しかけ、環境汚染が深刻だという。村人の1000倍の旅行者が押しかけ、ゴミを大量に置いていく。
バカに旅行する権利はない。旅行は、当局に認められた者だけに許されるべきだ。昔の日本では、国家を背負って立てる人材しか、海外旅行・留学は出来なかった。それで良い。

all the american fans having a breakdown over not being able to get tickets. yeah ticketmaster is shit but honey. babes. my sweet summer child. taylor literally has not performed in my country in over a decade. you do not know my pain and i pray that you never will.
#taylor swift#the eras tour#international swifties#ticketmaster#bless their hearts#they really have no idea what it’s like for the rest of us#when i got tickets for lover fest that was the first time she came here in years and i still would’ve had to go abroad for that#and then 2020 fucked me over#and even if she does come here#i can’t even close to afford it#because i may or may not lose my income#because my boss is a fucking idiot who didn’t plan for a recession despite everyone knowing it’s coming <3

Need to get over my general annoyance with the modern day concept of business asap bc I am less than a week away from leaving on my study abroad. What’s the study abroad for, you ask? GLOBAL BUSINESS🤦♀️
#desperately chanting in my head as I sit in the prep course ‘I am not better than everyone else here. this is exciting and it will be good’#trying not to get main character syndrome even as I’m the only non-business major on this business study abroad#doesn’t help that I look like a teenage boy compared to all the HR girlies#al complains#begging myself to be social but I have been OFF the past couple days it’s baaadd#hopefully people think I’m cool and not an idiot with a headache

One would think that time, habits, and 3 full years of English grammar in college would have helped me get used to writing or chatting in English a little bit more naturally but I'm still Very Fucking Stressed about my level and skills and it's not a pleasant feeling to get everytime you type some shit on the Internet
#this plus the fact that I'm an idiot with little vocabulary no matter the language#not opening that melon right now but I think my year abroad really nerfed the last bit of self-confidence that I had on the matter#anyway#teeheehee sorry for the bad english!!!!!1!!#nebulathundertalks

peep how many people in the notes reblogging this uncritically are Americans with their weird eternal boner for Irish suffering
you know when irish people were fighting for freedom the rebels were never considered revolutionaries or freedom fighters. we had only ever been called terrorists by the british government, because when you call a people fighting for their rights and their freedoms terrorists you can distance yourself from them. people aren't fighting because they've been radicalised by 800 years of colonialism or 75 years of brutal settler imperialism, they're fighting because they're dirty terrorists trying to hurt our democracy and kill our children. and now we don't have any responsibility to reckon with the years of subjugation and settler violence and attempted genocide, because how can you expect us to deal with terrorists? the same story repeats itself over and over n it's shocking how people will eat it up every time when it comes to protecting and maintaining western power.
#op's heart is in the right place but like. hamas and the IRA both very much ARE terrorist paramilitary organisations#you can hold anti-imperialist anticolonialist views without engaging in apologism for violent groups that kill civilians#like the IRA bombed and murdered people IN IRELAND. not just the uk#likewise if you equate hamas with the palestinian people you're a fucking idiot with no critical thinking skills im sorry#hamas are not fucking freedom fighters and their leaders aren't even in palestine at the moment#they're safe abroad whilst palestinian civilians are being murdered by israel in cold blood#“one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter” doesn't fucking apply because neither hamas nor the ira were freedom fighters#and neither have/had the best interests of their citizens at heart

Edit:
Fuck it I'm doing the best I can and won't compare myself with others who don't have the same limitations
#I'm so fucking anxious today#Just because of the Ghosts screening Event#I really want to Go to a book signing#But the mere logistics have me spiralling#And now I question If I should have studied abroad and become Not the Person I am today#But I also know it wouldn't have worked because I'm still me#I hate that I can't do stuff that's normal for other people at least Not without a comfort Person#Like Just hopping to a different country on my own for an event#Or travelling alone to a different country without having to Drive#I really want to See West horsley place someday#And the six idiots will have other Projects that will have Events#But Ghosts won't and now my brain ist stuck in an anxiety spiral#The fact that i can't Work for another week doesn't Help#I haven't been this Close to an anxiety Attack in years

an old love
overview : father charlie mayhew reunites with an old lover he was head over heels for before he began his journey into priesthood.
pairing : father charlie mayhew x fem!reader
word count : 1152 (and it’s still ASS)
a/n : this is my first fic so please excuse.. everything… while i try to figure it all out! xx
it was an early sunday evening when father mayhew was interrupted while planning his next sermon. the doors to the church pushed open, the loud hinges and heaviness of the door stirring him from his concentration.
father mayhew looked up from his altar to the entrance of the church, not necessarily surprised to have someone else join him in the holy place, but startled nonetheless by the sudden intrusion.
a frazzled young woman stumbled in, her wide eyes looking around to the tall pristine ceilings and stained glass windows before settling on father mayhew’s tall figure on the stage.
though a sin, father charlie swore his heart stopped beating when his eyes finally settled on the woman in his church. could it really be? no… no, it’s not possible.
“charlie?”
charlie’s eyes widened beyond belief, definitely sure this time that his heart stopped beating. “Y/N..? is that.. you?” his voice was breathless, rough with disbelief.
“oh, charlie,” you beamed, quick steps scurrying over to the altar, stopping short before the steps. “i’m so glad to see you..” your eyes raked over his attire, “oh! i’m sorry, father charlie.”
frozen, charlie just stared at you before he somehow got the courage to say something. “Y/N.. what are you doing here? it’s been..” he trailed off, not wanting to say how long it had been since he’d seen the woman he fell in love with.
“forever?” you finished for him,
“yea, forever,” he gulped, slowly moving from behind the altar to descend the steps. his eyes never left your frame.
your gaze followed him as he made his way toward you. the closer he got, the faster his heart beat. is it about to come up his throat?
“i’m sorry to barge in on you like this it’s just that i got word that you were here and had to see for myself,” you softly smiled. how are you smiling right now? how are you not in complete and utter pain like he is?
charlie just blinked, finally in front of you now.
“right, i have to explain myself, god, oh! GOSH,” you corrected yourself, hand over your mouth. “i’m so sorry, i’m an idiot.”
this finally made charlie’s face lighten up, you hadn’t changed at all. “it’s okay, Y/N, really,” he felt his lips tug upward. you were still the cutest thing in the entire world.
you just blushed, embarrassed. “i.. i just finished my degree abroad, you know...? anyway, when i got back home my dad said that you were a priest now and i… well, i had to see you. couldn’t believe it.”
charlie raised a brow, “how come?”
you clasped your hands in front of you, “nothing, really, i just always envisioned you to be out of this old little town.. traveling.. doing whatever your heart desired. like you said you would…” your gaze flicked to the floor, your shoes suddenly very interesting.
charlie hummed, “no, i couldn’t leave this place.. trust me, i tried.” charlie’s gaze suddenly turned to a dim one. a dark, glum cloud seemed to hover over his head.
you raised your head at that, eyes locking with charlie’s once more. you opened your mouth for a moment before abruptly closing it. you contemplated for a moment before forcing a smile on your face.
“well i’m just happy to see you, charlie” your eyes flickered over his face, almost as if you were trying to imprint the image of him in your mind so you would always have it.
charlie didn’t say anything at that. he opened his mouth just to close it, too. he shook his head slightly, hand coming to comb through his hair.
“are you sure?” he clenched his jaw.
your eyes widened at that, flinching at his brazenness. “of course i am, charlie..” your hand moved to his arm before hesitating, tucking your hands behind your back in tight fists.
charlie saw this, his jaw clenching even tighter, he was sure his teeth would fall out. “i’m sorry it’s just hard to believe when i’ve been here the whole time.”
“charlie..”
“no, Y/N, what are you doing here? really?” his tone became defensive, building a wall around his heart right in front of the woman who helped him tear it down all those years ago.
you didn’t say anything, eyes wide looking up at him.
“i never left, Y/N.. i never left…” his voice was barely above a whisper, eyes hardened in faux credence.
your lower lip quivered, looking away.
“i’m sorry.”
“for what? for abandoning us? or for never coming back?” charlie bit out. according to his beliefs, charlie should forgive, but something inside him still ached from when you left, it wasn’t that easy.
“everything, charlie.. everything.” your eyes were glistening with tears when you looked back into his. charlie’s heart sped up at the sight, hand itching to take your face in his palms.
as the first sob of yours was let out, charlie couldn’t stop himself, pulling you into his arms and into his warm chest.
“shh, shh, baby.. don’t cry.” his hand caressed the back of your head and neck, head coming to rest atop of yours.
your heart clenched in your chest. “i’m so sorry, charlie.” the words were slightly muffled against his chest, but he knew what you said.
palms coming to cup your cheeks, he wiped your tears with his thumbs, eyes locked on your red and watery ones. “shh, it’s okay..”
you shook your head, “no, it’s not.”
charlie’s eyes softened even more, if that was possible, “sweetheart… come here.” he brought you back into his arms for another embrace.
“missed you so much, charlie, i just.. i couldn’t face you after what happened. please. you knew i missed you, didn’t you?” you raised your face from his chest, neck craning up to look into his eyes.
“well, i do now…” his ring covered hand came to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. “just wish you came back sooner.”
your eyebrows crinkled up again, “i know, i’m sorry i just thought you hated me and i couldn’t bring myself to face you.”
charlie brought his forehead to yours, “oh, sweetheart, i could never hate you..” his palm caressed your cheek. you leaned into his touch, releasing a heavy breath.
the two of you stayed like that for a while, the silence of the church engulfing you, making it seem as though you were the only people in the world.
charlie broke the silence first, eyes soft looking down at you, “what do you say we get something to eat? that diner is still open, and you can tell me everything..”
you softly smiled, sniffling, “i’d like that a lot.”
with your arm locked in charlie’s as he led you out the church doors, he realized something:
a million years could go by without seeing or hearing from you, but his connection and devotion to you will never falter. ever.
so… that’s it! im so sorry the ending is so rushed and just. bad? im sure grammar and the present and past tense verbiage was annoying asf pls forgive me :,,) im new to writing (writing my own stories i mean) and am open to criticism! constructive pls..
