the porch light is off And "Lead Us Not Into Temptation"
By Isabella Dunsby the porch light is off and I’m holding a pint tub of yogurt ice cream with both hands. I’m watching it sweat white beads onto my lap like the droplets of milk that an infant can’t quite catch on his mother’s breast. I’m watching us all convince ourselves we’re better off immortal. I’m on my mother’s doorstep. All that rhythm in the downbeats of my mother’s slices while…

my brother can make me laugh without moving at all. he can make me laugh on command, just by existing, and there is no physical tell or indication that it is about to happen. it’s like he can will me to laugh and i will. of course we’re not telepathic, but we do speak in unison sometimes. we improvise like no one’s business. we could fool anyone into believing we are psychically linked. when i try to explain it, i sound silly saying it out loud, but i really CAN tell what he’s thinking. we exchange so much information just with a look. he can make me cry laughing and he doesn’t even have to move
#i miss him so much i need him back i need him to live next to me again. i need to mooch off his wifi from my porch and invite him over#i miss him so much.#he’s only 2 minutes younger but he feels years younger. and yet i think we’re two halves of one soul#i’ve always babied him not even in a mean or diminishing way but i felt this need to protect him#because he tends to be so naive and so shy#but. i am so proud of him. i need to show him off to everyone and i need everyone to understand how funny and charming he is#it feels like i grew up and left him where he will remain 11 forever. i miss him more than moving back home can fix#i miss him in ways that have nothing to do with the distance between our locations#but. it would certainly help to be able to see him every day#i keep smelling the carpet in his room and it’s so vivid. i remember the countless hours we spent developing huge wood block cities#and we would drive hot wheels over the wooden raceways we had made. we were actually quite coordinated and autistic about it#we were always building things together#just recently me and him talked on the phone about an old mlp au we came up with. all original characters and shit#it was super extensive and very clever#i STILL think it would make a really cool book series or something#i remember watching him play army men RTS gamecube on the wii. i STILL listen to the soundtrack to that game like…. daily#i remember walking into my room once where he was watching a show. and he was crying#and he NEVER cries over tv#but he was crying because his favorite character had resigned from the organization that the series was based around#and he was so distraught that she was leaving.#i remember when all 3 of us slept in one room. i remember when me and him were in bunk beds across the room#and we would sneak out of bed right as the parents left and stayed up playing by the light of the nightlight#the way we raced back into bed when the parents were approaching 😭#my mom always says she’s sad that i seem to remember so little of my life. like every story of my youth is news to me lmao#but i feel like i remember the most important parts? i think so#i remember how mom woke me up in the night to ask me to roll over because my bro could see my face from where he was sleeping#and he was scared because there was a weird shadow cast on my face that made it look like a skull which was making it hard for him to sleep#it was. so funny. i begrudgingly rolled over#i don’t know. it’s just that there isn’t a single instance i bring up that my brother does not also remember.#no matter how tiny or specific. we shared everything growing up

I hope everyone setting off illegal fireworks loses a finger because of them.
4th of July is, by and far, the holiday I hate the most.
#chaosfay talks#yup my PTSD from the housefire is full fucking triggered. it was started by a firework. now i'm gonna have an edible and work on sleeping#while i hide in the bedroom with blackout curtains over the window. also have blackout curtains in the hallway entry to block#out all light coming in from the motion detector porch light. also blocks out the fireworks my neighbors are setting off#we have several dead trees on this block because landlords can't be bothered to remove them. big ass fire hazards. oh and three in the#yard next to our house. that house is condemner and the landlord won't repair it. the whole property is a fucking hazard.#no i'm not okay. not at all. and these fireworks are gonna be set off every night for the next two or four weeks.

Anybody know what this little guy is?
I was going to ask @onenicebugperday but submissions are currently closed.
The "tail" part seems to move sort of independently, almost like a caterpillar. Which made me wonder if it's actually 2 little guys (parasite and host)? But I was able to look more closely than the photos/video can clearly show and it really looks like 1 critter.
At first I thought it was a spider since the coloration is similar to a yellow orb weaver/garden spider, but I only count 6 legs (and it's also too small I think).
Then I thought some sort of bee/wasp maybe, but I saw no evidence of wings.
Google says maybe a ladybug larvae? Weird that I never knew what they look like.
#I had a childhood friend whose bedroom had like a years-long ladybug infestation#But we only ever saw the adults I guess?#Tw bug#Cw bug#tw flashing lights#Sort of#Very chill little dude but would not hold still for a photo lol#learn something new every day#If I'd gotten that I'd before it wondered off I would've moved it to a plant with some aphids or something to munch on#Probably not much to eat on the back porch buddy
