*clawing at the empty air of the universe* help me help me help me help me help me

seen ppl this past year besmirch the good name of showering together as tho the point is to just stand there while the other person showers? like no, the point is to bathe the OTHER person. the point is to get naked & lather up & rinse off your lover, the point is to touch & be touched

last repost is what god said making me

trying to do my gyms challenge: 20 classes in 4 weeks. i’m already falling behind (only 4 classes this week) but i mostly want to see how much i can do

It's Tuesday. 🌹 Enjoy your day. ✨

It's not fair I have to work today it's cutting into my self hating depression time

At the bus stop, staring at my phone and I hear, "hey man. Hey bud. Hey. Hey bud" And I finally had to do the thing of telling myself to look up in case this person was talking to me & I didn't register because I still don't expect to be gendered this way (That was absolutely what was happening)

They ARE important

i love going to the gym i love feeling strong and tired and pouring sweat i love coming home and taking a hot shower afterward

Got gendered masculine today despite the floppy hair so I think I really can keep growing it out

you’ll google something and ai overview will be like “according to the research by InternetHandle…” and you click and it’s just some blog

Good birthday! Thanks everyone that I got to introduce to this truly amazing movie

Pivoting from Rollercoaster to God's Not Dead does sound like something I'd do on my birthday

valentine’s day is just enough of a whatever silly holiday that i just pretend everything that’s happening is for my birthday. candy on sale? oh bc it’s my birthday. valentine themed things? bc it’s my birthday. “happy valentine’s day” is just a phrase meaning “happy tor’s birthday”

every time we need to talk to someone about an issue we have we just have to be like I KNOW this house is overpowered and ridiculous the previous owner wanted everything BIG i’m sorry

rereading old drafts of writing from like 5 or 6 years ago and seeing “it’s not x, it’s y” and immediately rewriting because OH MY GOD NEVER AGAIN it’s not even that i’m scared of ppl thinking i used ai to write it, i am just absolutely SICK of this sentence construction now

ok when i checked this out from the library the photo of it did not make me understand just HOW BIG it was

there’s this brand that sells men’s soap/body wash/shampoo/conditioner (yes separately, not horrible 2-in-1) & their ads are insufferable & the texts they send abt shipping are so over the top they’re the only time im like “don’t call me a man” but god do i love their citrus scented stuff

Cover of the day: The Starry Skies by Agnes Giberne, New York, 1884. #booksky #artsky

it’s that time of year in the library where one grade in the nearby elementary schools has a very specific project (this time it’s write an essay about a country) and we’re running low on books

me rn

I discovered that my mother had annotated this book of sheet music

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

Frog and Toad were reading a book together.

ads love to show me TOTAL BLACKOUT NO LIGHT CURTAINS while i’m staring at the sky to fall asleep & needing the daylight to help wake me up in the morning without feeling groggy

this is so real

it’s always funny when ppl defend biblical misogyny with “the bible was progressive about women for it’s time!” because a) i don’t believe you but also b) that’s a really funny defense for something you’re claiming should have moral authority over ppl’s lives

should i be doing something else today than reading a book?

they won’t even send it to my new address bc they clearly didn’t even look at my info to see that THEY approved my new address! they’re just like ”guess we don’t know where you live we’ll shred this & you can just print it out online from the portal pls make sure to update your address” like come on

me: *sets up forwarding & changes my address at all of my jobs* one of my jobs: *mails my w-2 to the old address* the mail: *doesn't forward it and sends it back to them* hr: Mmmm, maybe you should consider updating your address with us me: *quiet screaming*

Frog pulled Toad up onto the island. Toad looked in the basket. The sandwiches were wet. The pitcher of iced tea was empty.

Music Millennium opened in Portland in 1969. Now, the owner is looking for a successor to take over his beloved store. “I want that building to be a part of Portland’s landscape forever. Plus, I want Music Millennium to be in it for just as many years," he said.

ppl get so precious about physical books and presume it aligns with libraries/library workers goals and visions and beliefs, and are never more wrecked to learn the sheer amount of discard we engage in

“There is dust on your chairs.” “Tomorrow,” said Toad. “Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.” “Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

The rot consumes #Funguary

Idk if trans kids these days know this but back in my day you could just walk into a RadioShack and walk out with one of these puppies

Lookin at the moon from inside my house

maybe this week i try and finish up a ton of all those mini zines i have started and nearly finished over the past few years and get em done

Eating the cost of the 5 dollar fine on a library of things item so I could go to zine meetup instead This is how little library workers care that you accrue fines btw. We do it too
