#so i think i can take a breather

[despite-everything]

i really pared-down my record collection since i'm moving cross-country, but i'm so emotional about it. i'm moving to new york, so i need to be thoughtful about the small space i'll have, but it's fucking hard! that said, it should only be about $100 to ship the boxes as media mail, so thank god for that. but i culled more than 100 albums in the process...

having commissions closed atm feels so weird especially since I've been consistently doing them for a while. its like....i should be doing something...

[arson-09]

wait. i jusf had a thought. now its been awhile since i read the holiday novella, but wasn’t a major reason feyre was like lets have baby NOW was because of that widow and feyre was like what if rhys DIES i need a piece of him or smth along those lines

but they have a death pact ? so if one dies the other dies ? i mean yeah they technically were gonna have a kid eventually for an heir but i think its silly how quickly they had one and the reasoning is questionable too ? unless im misremembering

Vienna by Billy Joel is the song of all time for young creatives so I'm posting the lyrics here (although you should really just go listen to the song)

Slow down, you crazy child you're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, tell me Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do and Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told.. That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even Get halfway through When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight... Too bad but it's the life you lead you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong, you know You can't always see when you're right. You're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

This is what Billy Joel said about the song:

"You don’t have to squeeze your whole life into your 20s and 30s trying to make it, trying to achieve that American dream, getting in the rat race and killing yourself. You have a whole life to live."

thank you for bearing with my purgatory posting and i'm also glad to see i'm not the only one who still has this fungus eating away at my brain matter. seeing other purgatory posting in the tag makes me feel better lmfao.

i'm not done btw, posting will (probably) continue as i revisit vods. wanted to extend a thanks in the interim, since i know how contentious the event was in the moment. i kinda thought the general consensus was most people hated thinking about it, but there's been a weird amount of engagement and yknow other people talking. makes me happy to know i'm not alone here!

i would like to make it abundantly clear that in the current state of the world that we live in, food is, sadly, unable to be treated as "just food" without any space for nuance.

yes, it is and should be treated as "just food" in the sense that it is a basic human right and a physiological need for all humans. it is something that all need and all should have.

however, in this day and age, food is used as a tool of control and power. millions and millions of people have no access to it, as much of it as we have. entire families are being starved out, mothers are dying in order for their children to eat, there is violence and atrocities being committed so someone can have something to eat for the week, people are being denied food because of who they are.

how hard is it to see the luck and privilege of being able to go out and have a burger? how hard is it to stop thinking about yourself for one second and use the money you have lying around, whatever insignificant change you have, and do something to help someone else eat? a few cents in dollars or euros or pounds is gold in other countries.

if you think you cant help, than you are so wrong. kindness begets kindness begets kindness, and so on. dont loose faith in humanity so fast. dont loose hope. remember that the food you put in your mouth is the same food that others eat, and, if you can afford it, buy a bit extra, give it to your local shelters, or donate that bit extra to whatever charity you can reach. if you have some to spare, donate your time and energy to helping out where you can; charities, schools, libraries, shelters, wherever.

im going to quote, roughly and translated, the founder of a local non-profit that made one of the most beautiful speeches i have ever heard: we help, with the kindness and the love of a five year old child.

when food stops being just food, when trivial things start being a privilege, thats when you make the biggest difference. dont belittle your own existence, dont think low of your own power.

I have had a VERY busy week (positive but very very socially draining) and I am ABOUT to have a few days of work and then ANOTHER very busy week (work, 2 different appointments and a job interview) and I just wanna take a moment and remind myself that I may take longer to do things than average but im still DOING them and it's. Okay to still feel tired several days after making a phonecall

The funniest thing to me is that i truly do jot care about the presidential debates on the qsmp, but im watching bc ik charlie is doing some funky stuff as gegg and also him and bagherras interactions are nice :)

And part of it is that i feel like the fans are taking it wayyy too seriously, like its just rp, and i kinda dislike the way some ppl are treating cellbit n forever, like even if i dont particularly align w what theyre saying i def understand the two major parties (at least in terms of who was present for debate 2) and i feel like. Maybe some people need to take a step back and understand its just rp, its literally in minecraft, its not a big deal.

I also think some ppl are slightly misconstruing what mainly bagherra and bbh were saying, in calling what they want a utopia, which certainly isnt true.

But its whatever im not too invested in the elections themselves lmao

Not pointed at anyone just a general statement :]

Nothing like a freak flash flood pouring into your dwelling to stress you tf out :c

[quietlyblooms]

chiyo vc: what do you mean i can't actually change the course of someone's life?? i tried so hard though?? wtf??

[supercantaloupe]

automatic reminders from the pharmacy to refill your meds when you've almost run out are nice and all but it is really funny to me how much CVS tries to shit itself with daily push notifications about how my epipen prescription is almost out and i need to go and refill it RIGHT NOW. as if i'm regularly using that shit up

[cupidisslutty]

i literally have not once stopped thinking about Deadpool saying "i am soaking wet right now" after murdering all those guys with Logan's skeleton

[felidaefatigue]

my. tit. Hurts.

[meatriarchived2]

stooooopppp no wait maria stumbling on a whole entire Incident ( ie. murder ) and being so shellshocked / horrified / paralyzed that if someone barks or coaxes demands at her to help she goes into like scared prey animal mode and just listens out of fear and confused obligation and it doesnt register for a time that shes helping move an entire body or w/e and the horror & disgust & fear of it all hits her like a train -
