Abbot has a lake house and decides to host a barbecue, advertising food, beer, swimming, a bonfire, and embarrassing stories from premed. he ends up extending the invitation to Dennis and Trinity, which was slightly surprising to the both of them, but who are they to decline free food?
Dennis has always just worn a binder, never bothering to venture out and try different chest binding options. after receiving the invitation, he thinks long and hard about his next move. either buy a new binder an extra size up, as a random tiktok told him would be suitable for swimming, that he will probably never use again, or try taping, which he has also heard is safe to swim with. he stares at the screen long and hard before slamming his laptop shut and leaving the room
he ends up bringing it up (or more accurately, Trinity gives him that look that tells him she knows he’s thinking about something, and to just spit it out) at dinner, saying, “i don’t know what to do. i’ve never tried taping, and i’m not sure i’d be comfortable shirtless around everyone, even with the tape covering me. at the same time though, i don’t wanna be the only guy wearing a- eugh, a swim shirt. i haven’t swam since i started transitioning and-”
“i could tape too.” she interrupts with a casual shrug. “i mean, i’ve never tried it either, but that way you wouldn’t be doing it alone.”
“you’d do that for me?” he looks at her, eyes wide with an appreciative smile
“for you? no, i want an excuse to be shirtless around Parker.”
he looks away, ending the conversation with a quieter, “right.”
the tape comes in a couple days before the barbecue, and they watch a dozen how-to videos on applying it. as it turns out, everyone does it differently, and when Dennis goes to his room he starts mixing up the steps and gets lost. he’s frustrated and near tears when Trinity knocks, “you good in there, Huckleberry?”
“yep! i just… canyoucomeinhereandhelpme?”
“what was that?” her tone showing genuine concern
“ughhhhhh, i need your help.”
“oh, sure dude.”
she walks in to find him with shreds of tape covering parts of his chest, his hands up overhead and an expression on his face like a child that spilled something on himself and is looking at her for a solution
“okay, let’s see what we can do about this…”
they work at it for almost an hour, but eventually it looks… as best as it’s probably going to get. at some point Trinity made him start writing the steps down as they went so that they would have record of what technique did the best compressing
they look in his mirror together and Trinity watches the moment he truly connects with the tape and starts to feel like himself. his lips curve into a small grin as he turns and twists to fully observe the job done by the tape
“you’re looking more and more human every day Huckleberry, i’m so proud!” she says theatrically, “let me go try this myself.”
she goes to her own room to apply her tape, following the written steps, and hers doesn’t take nearly as long to perfect. she looks in the mirror, and a new feeling starts to bloom in her chest. she isn't trans by any means... but this is a nice change of pace for her. she high fives herself mentally for her great idea to tape with him. she walks out into the living room, chest taped but covered by a shirt, and finds him laying on the couch shirtless
"did you do it-"
"go put a shirt on."
"yes ma'am."
they still have work the day after they taped, but before the barbecue. Trinity tries her best to act normal, but every time Dennis sees her she's sweating and looks like she's about five seconds away from confessing to murder
"i feel like i'm hiding a secret identity."
"imagine how i feel."
"shit, sorry Huck."
he shrugs, "just use this as an empathy building exercise."
mock offended, she replies, "you don't think i'm empathetic enough?"
"that's not what i meant-"
when they arrive to the lake house, six pack in hand, and matching outfits of turquoise swim trunks decorated with flamingos and t-shirts that read "women want me, fish fear me" (Trinity obviously given the final decision on that), they are met by Dana walking out the front door. She takes the six pack from Trinity's hand and says,
"glad you guys could make it, rest of the kids are out back swimming."
they go around the larger than life lake house, and find almost everyone else in the water. Abbot, Robby, McKay, Javadi, Ellis, Donnie, and Langdon are all lounging about in the lake. Mel, Al-Hashimi, and Mohan all sat on towels in grass near the edge, talking amongst themselves for the most part. Princess and Perlah are sat at a picnic table a little further away, not so subtly staring at Donnie, Abbot, and Ellis throwing a football around
when they notice Dennis and Trinity, they all give appropriate greetings, some waves, nods, a couple people shouting "hey!". they respond accordingly, and Trinity turns to Dennis, you good? and Dennis nods.
Whispering low enough so that only he can hear her, Trinity proposes, "i'll go first, so the attention is on me and you won't have to worry about that."
"what makes you so sure that you'll draw so much-"
she takes off her shirt, and sure enough, all eyes are on her. either because of the tape, the inherent shock of seeing your coworker shirtless, or just the fact that she looks good
Princess lets out a much too loud, "damn!" and Perlah lightly smacks the back of her head. Ellis shouts, "looking good, Santos!" with a whistle. Even Al-Hashimi turns her head and lowers her sunglasses. Robby jokingly boos and Trinity flips him off, not even looking in his direction
while they're all distracted, Dennis takes off his own shirt and sneaks into the lake. he settles near Javadi and McKay, when Langdon pipes up, “nice trunks, Whitaker.”
somehow, Trinity hears him from where she’s walking towards the water, and says, “shut up, Frank.” with an eye roll. she comes up closer to Dennis, whispering, “you look great dude, no need to stress.” before she pats him on the shoulder. to avoid having to look into those, no doubt, earnest eyes, she shoves him into the water, dunking him head first
they wrestle for a couple minutes, splashing water everywhere and shaking their heads like dogs to get the hair out of their faces as they come up to catch their breath. like she said, Trinity didn’t do this for him… but the toothy grin on his face is reason enough for her to do it again a million times over if he so asked

Trinity does that matching the eating pace of my (girlfriend/boyfriend/whoever) tiktok trend with Dennis, only to end up nearly choking to death.
Like at first she’s side eyeing the (hidden) camera when he takes three giant bites in just a few seconds. But then her competitive side comes out and she’s trying her best to keep up, and legit starts fucking choking because there’s just so much and some accidentally ends up down her windpipe. She doesn’t know how the fuck he’s swallowing so damn fast.
After she can fucking breathe again she’s looking up food eating challenges in their area and how many stupid t-shirt prizes she can get him to win.
It didn’t really cross her mind that all those years food insecure (and fighting for scraps back in Nebraska) would make him kinda weird about food and eating.
The fastest eating people: military, and doctors (so Abbot of course is the fastest eater alive lol).
We have a friend who was an emergency medicine physician for many years. Cute, blonde, teeny. It was unreal to warch her eat. It wasn't gross but like you see her pour syrup on her French toast and she is chatting politely and then boom it is gone in two minutes. So funny!
I could see Dennis being a champ. Fast meal times, three older brothers, learning to stuff his face quick in med school. Yeah that is our competitive eating king!
I can’t remember if I told you guys this but my grandpa paid a guy to put up a rock retaining wall in the backyard when my grandparents moved into their house in 1966. They live at the bottom of a mountain. The wall finally collapsed this year and my grandfather with dementia was PISSED OFFFFFF and he wanted so badly to call the guy who did it and chew him out for doing a bad job. My grandma is trying to explain that the wall lasted 60 years and the guy who did the work is probably dead and it TURNS OUT HE IS STILL ALIVE. Now we’re worried grandpa is going to get through to him (small town) and we’re going to see two 85 year old men come to blows over a rock wall that has been there since the mid-60s. My grandpa is a scrapper, he’s been to jail over a bar fight, the possibility that he WOULD fight this guy is high.
To top it off? The stone mason is the only person in town with one arm so grandpa would definitely recognize him if he saw him. If that is your grandpa, please protect him from my grandpa.
I don’t know. They could last indefinitely in perfect conditions on flat land. Like I said, they’re at the bottom of a mountain in Appalachia and this wall has held back 60 years of snow melt and ground shifting and it has survived countless major weather events. In my opinion it is very good work and I think 60 is a good run for a rock retaining wall. The problem is that grandpa feels like the wall was put up recently so he thinks it is shitty craftsmanship. He’s mad because he can’t quite grasp that this wall has done its job for 60 years. Dementia is a terrible disease but if you don’t laugh you’ll cry and grandpa’s righteous indignation at this man’s work is kinda hilarious.
I've seen him once or twice on your blog, but I haven't seen any posts directly recommending him so I hope you don't mind if I send this ^^”.
I wanna recommend Tony Weaver Jr, he's a fantastic creator who talks about nerd culture and it's overlap with Black culture, and issues in the nerd community that Black people face. He also started Nerds for literature, a group focused on increasing literacy rates for children by getting children books with more diversity and topics that kids are actually interested in. He's an incredibly caring and intelligent man who’s very well versed in the subjects he shares and wants to bring awareness on, and his content is all very informational with sources in the video.
He's also just a joy to listen to, and I personally find his overwhelming kindness and dedication for kids education admiring. I found him a bit ago when he shared the account of a Black cosplayer who was feeling discouraged, asking his audience to go send them support while sharing the importance of community and actively fighting against racism, and he talk about those and similar topics in almost all his videos. I think someone who's so eager to share positivity and teach should be watched by more people.
I strongly recommend people check out his videos and the website for nerds for literacy, both those links here ^^!!

smoked a joint the sorcerer gave me and experienced life as a 1989 toyota tercel from assembly and production until i was left derelict in a junkyard in baker california oxidizing and rusting for 10,000 years. my favorite part was five hundred years in when a family of armadillos moved in for a few weeks
Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

I have every word ever blocked. I could be mutuals with axe murderers and I wouldn't know because I have "#axe murdering" in my blocked tags. it's so peaceful here (hears a noise behind me) (doesn't turn around)
It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

BUT YOU CAN READ ABOUT SPIDER DICK!!!! and about lovingly stroking a hairy carapace! and gripping a set of pedipalps like they're the handlebars of a bicycle! and if there's some tender emotion towards the spider in question......would that be so wrong?
imagine dealing w an international crisis involving precious artifacts and someone is like ‘don’t worry I know a guy’ and it’s a dorky connecticut college professor named henry who slips into his slutsona and suddenly he’s capable of saving the world w the power of his whip & fedora
#this man gets uncomfortable and overwhelmed when 20 y/o college girls hit on him #but take off his glasses #put on his fedora #and this man is ready to find Atlantis in three to eight business days (via @sansakenobi)
