#independence my ass

[chief-queeef]

celebrating independence day today feels so weird like people cant afford housing, student debt relief was blocked, scotus is on a speed run to strip away the rights of women poc and lgbtq communities, whole cities throughout the usa haven’t had water and/or electricity access for days and with no major news coverage on the matter, the world is literally burning and we are purposely being forced to breathe and consume toxic chemicals like there is nothing to celebrate

Fun 4th of July activity: let's mark on a calendar every date in which another country has to commemorate the victims of a dictatorship because of the usa

my HC for ASS trio’s music preferences is that the three of them listen to different kinds of rock music. with sam, he’s into more metal and hardcore punk. abigail is a gothic rock chick, siouxsie and the banshees CHANGED her life. and sebastian is into deep cuts of alt rock (though he enjoys hüsker dü and sonic youth who are more popular). however, they don’t mind each other’s tastes, they even listen to them together and give recommendations. sleepovers in seb’s basement with bauhaus blasting softly as they sleep is like a religious ritual for them.

the three of them shares another bond by hating oasis and clowning them together. sam would play that goddamned intro in acoustic because he's a little shit like that and he'll get oncoming pillows thrown at him.

i told my physical therapist today about how i plan to get a xenomorph tattooed on my hip to highlight my hysterectomy scar, bc when i still had my reproductive organs i likened period cramps etc to having a live-in chestburster, then after surgery the complications that stupid lil ½" bastard scar gave me made it feel like i still had an alien parasite ravaging my innards... so the tattoo will be an homage to all it took to overcome that long painful history, as well as a way to honor my beloved monster wife.

then she shared a story about a close friend of hers who found out she had a tumor the size of a clementine that had been growing in her brain since childhood. it was safely removed & she's fine now, and she got a tattoo of a clementine slice behind her ear near where the tumor had been as a fun little inside joke with herself.

and i think about the long history of medicinal tattooing, and of people using ink to either cover or accentuate past wounds ranging from self harm to cancer to gender transition and everything in between and i just. i love how humans tell stories with our bodies. i love that we get to decorate the shapes that house our souls to reflect our experiences and celebrate our survival and carry what we find beautiful with us for life.

nothing harder than trying to pick out what your "nicest" cut-up band t-shirt is when u know that no-one except u is possibly thinking about this

everyday i constantly think of masato's wheelchair and if that's his only one/main one no wonder he's so pissed at everyone

[susiephone]

childhood was just a long series of adults being like "don't judge a book by its cover!" and "treat others the way you want to be treated!" and then turning around and making the wildest snap judgments about people based on TINY amounts of information and expecting you to agree

Time and distance heals things I guess. My parents got into an abusive fight with me after i took markers and pens to most of my clothes in middle school to scribble doodles and social justice messages (most prominently, Save Darfur–which really needs to be a rallying cry again given that the genocide has kicked up again as the Sudanese civil war rages). They were worried I'd look "unpresentable" in my massively oversized boy graphic tees and baggy jeans held up only by the grace of God (this was all by choice btw, i had and have always despised tight clothing and by middle school I had shunned girl clothes all together). But now at 31 I make mention of writing messages in sharpie on new t-shirts and my mom thinks it's cool and my dad offered to buy me proper fabric markers (I declined bc the cheap shirts will prolly wear out before the sharpies fade anyway). Go figure

i feel like i’ve been WAITING for the other shoe to drop wrt people’s opinions about watcher for this very reason. not that i think the reaction is completely not understandable but the greater the parasocial relationship, the greater the fallout as soon as public opinion shifts. you don’t have a relationship with these people they’re just content creators, chill
