I Think I Died

and in the one hand, did i enjoy spending hours researching housing regulations in my state? not especially. drafting this email was stressful. but on the other hand, did i learn a lot by doing that research? yeah, i did. i’m more prepared for my current and future leases. i used some of that info to make decisions about a new renter’s insurance policy. i already told three different people about things i learned that are relevant to their leases that they didn’t know yet. (pro tip: see if you’re supposed to be getting annual interest payments on your security deposit! also look up what specific appliances your landlords must legally provide as of 2026.) i also got to reconnect with my cousin for a bit because her job gave her specific insight on part of the situation, and i’d much rather do that than have a chatbot make shit up for me.

also, i drafted that email with the power of friendship (friends angry on our behalf) and spite (from landlords telling me not to do my research). chatgpt could never.

polite greeting (it's me, boy)

introduction (i'm the ps5)

establish credentials (speaking to you inside your brain)

establish purpose (leave the girl, we don't need her)

i haven't seen anything about this on my dashboard, so i wanted to share. ICE gestapo killed another human being on tuesday. he leaves behind three sons and his wife, who he has spent the last 35 years building a life with

there is a gofundme supported by the league of united latin american citizens set up to help with funeral costs, legal fees, and supporting his family moving forward.

@sundryvillains EXACTLY thank you! i hadn’t thought about it but you’re so right. in context 04x03 makes no sense because dean just got back from hell and hasn’t tried anything yet. like he’s barely got his feet under him. he’s not trying to fight destiny yet because he doesn’t even know what his destiny is. it does work as a follow-up to the witnesses, if they’re supposed to work in tandem to tell dean not to live in the past. but he’s actively trying not to do that at this point so it doesn’t make sense.

now cas…cas knows his orders. cas knows some parts of the Divine Plan. and cas has clearly already taken a personal interest in dean. you really think that little dream visit in 04x02 was authorized? no, he’s already become attached to dean and wants to protect him. wants to alter his fate. so they send cas down to earth and tell him to send dean back with no help.

the angels already knew about mary’s deal! cas literally says when dean gets back that now he knows everything they know! there’s no point for cas to be in the past with dean. he’s choosing to be there. he sees this little broken human in pain and he wants to help. and the next time we see him he has a chaperone. a chaperone dean immediately fights, btw, so guaranteed all the heaven bosses were like “shit he’s only gonna listen to the one who already has disorders about him.”
