okay I'm getting my life back on track after my family visit. I went to the grocery store and did some meal prep to feed the neverending cycle of keeping-myself-alive tasks. I honestly don't know how people manage this for an entire family, I can barely administrate my household of one person.

being excluded and then seeing the photos truly feels like the coldest of showers followed by a damn pit in the stomach

"wdym you don't know him he's your 'aunts' son" I have literally never met or heard of this guy in my life and I only see the 'aunt' once a year

Like I haven't even met him as a kid this is just a random adult man I do not know

So Witches We Became

YA horror

a girl and her friends go on vacation to a house on a private Florida island, but when a strange mist and toxic tar surrounds them, trapping them there, they have to find a way to survive and/or escape

while she’s being haunted by a traumatic experience with her friend’s boyfriend - who just showed up - that she’s been unable to tell anyone about, and by a shadow from her childhood that she fears might have something to do with what’s happening

sapphic, explores complicated friendships, and surviving assault

from the workshop on grief, taught by a middle-aged trans man.

You see a dead flower, so, the absence of womanhood, of beauty, an ending – And this is what I see: the vibrant purple hue. What you see is a collection of missed opportunities, a culmination of what could have been. But here’s what I see – a creation. This is a sculpture of all the parts that were not loved, found dormant on the path to Somewhere Else. See what I’ve done with them. See the beauty I’ve made with all these deadened pieces.

thinking about how peter krause should've pulled a mark hamill's post-sw:tlj 'i'm insulted" move in press openly at having been forced to have bobby call th*mas "good people" after having called him one of the bad apples in the past. full on "you want bobby to say WHAT tim do you even know the LORE" moment. i deserved that

Warrior cats but everything's the same except they're anthromorphic animals and have guns now

One of my favorite things is when a character, who was not a help whatsoever with was just accomplished, declares something along the lines of "I did it!" or "All thanks to me!"

i've been playing through the leaked N64 prototype build of Dinosaur Planet (that rareware game that got turned into Starfox Adventures on the gamecube later) over the past couple nights and i gotta say... i think people gave the gibberish alien voice acting in Adventure a bit more hate than it deserved? like don't get me wrong, it WAS hilariously awkward and impossible to take seriously, but i'd take that shit ANY day over having to listen to... a handful of british people doing the most inscrutable attempts at racist accents i've maybe EVER heard in a video game??? like holy FUCK it's bad y'all. in fact the entire chunk of the game in Swapstone Circle is pretty much fully unsalvageable. the music, the iconography, the way the NPCs talk and are dressed, the literal most basic tropes of the storyline itself in that area... good grief, it's no wonder that entire chunk of the game was cut from the final product. absolutely wild that anyone at Rare thought that shit was okay to include, even 20+ years ago

doing a school project while listening to music, and this happened:

*Chiquitita by ABBA is playing*

"Chiquitita, you and I cryyy~"

Me: Oh you're also doing programming homework?

My dad who overheard: *dies of laughter*

So seriously: if you have a serious recoil/disgust factor at uncommonly eaten parts of an animal being in any kind of food context (eg: whole fish being served at a table) and you want to work on minimizing that reaction, I really really recommend eating "normal" versions of those unusual foods, like for example deli-sliced tongue. I know I'm talking out of my ass here, but things like liver and haggis (organ meat), tongue (tongue), and probably a whole lot of others I've never had can be pretty easily made into forms that taste real good and don't look much like a weird lump of flesh you can recognize, and being able to get from "that's weird and gross but I want to get it" to "that's weird but it tastes really good and I want to get it" will probably make building up momentum easier when you move on to less "common" pastures.

Good luck, by the way. I believe in you.
