#just feeling my feelings

[jedibinx]

Please feel free to pass on by this one I'm using my blog as a diary again because my brain is overloaded and overwhelmed lol and maybe someone else feels like this too and can see they aren't alone :)

Remember when we had to wait for our favourite magazine to come out to hear about our favourite band's upcoming movements and songs and gigs etc?

Remember when we had to wait up until 11.30pm watching the music video channels just to see the music video of our favourite song?

Remember when an album release was a HUGE deal and there was MONTHS of build up and hype and then when it finally got released we had to wait for it to get delivered so we could listen to the CD?

Remember when we were able to rock up to gigs with our disposable cameras, take some shitty pictures we had no clue how they looked and then we would have the best time of our lives and have MEMORIES WE WOULD HAVE TO REMEMBER?

Remember when our favourite artists would post brief updates to their MySpace page and we would all be so grateful for that tiny bit of communication and not getting upset because they weren't posting every day?

Remember when you were allowed to find out news about your favourite band in your own time and nobody would think of you as 'out of touch' if you didn't immediately know the latest stuff?

Remember when you could enjoy your favourite band or actor or artist without people constantly demanding more and more and more from them?

Remember when your favourite celebrity was allowed to be human and make mistakes and be imperfect and not necessarily hold the same life standards as you but were still loved and treated like a human being without being torn apart one second for one thing then praised by the same people for another thing three days later?

Remember when we went to gigs and if we didn't go we would sit with those that did and listen to their amazing experience instead of seeing it through a live stream and taking away the necessity for such human interaction?

Remember when YouTube didn't have ads? When you used to spend time talking on a landline phone, stuck in one spot because of the cord? When you'd sit in a park with friends until 2am just talking and laughing? When the news was only on the TV, where there was only 5 channels, the radio was where you would bootleg your music from by recording them onto tapes, and when you got home and wanted to relax and get away from people and the world and everything going on around you, you just... Could?

Remember... the simpler times?

I guess my whole point is that, apart from feeling overwhelmed with the fast paced world right now, with the speed of the internet and social media has made the world a reactionary place and I guess I just want to remind the world that it's okay to go at your own pace and enjoy what you enjoy and love what you love but also remember that the people who we love are just that - people. With feelings and emotions and thoughts and it's okay. We're all human beings and the dance with life will become much easier if we learn to soften and lean into it a little. We can be what we once were.

Stay beautiful friends 💚🖤💜

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
