lizards are people too

I guess we’re doing gay hockey boys now

no yeah there’s also such a joy of scrolling through an ao3 tag looking at all these things from 2010 and leaving comments on it all even though ur pretty sure it’s going into the void…it literally feels like waking up on a beautiful silent planet and wandering quietly alone, admiring the artwork of an old beautiful civilization and scratching your appreciation into the stone, and then someone steps out from behind the bricks and invites you inside one of the old beautiful ruins and it turns out it’s a lively tavern on the inside and the people who built these ancient cities are actually still living in them and making new art and are so excited to meet you

Adding to this that Star Trek is probably the oldest modern fandom and scrolling Star Trek fic is both delightful (quality fic) and always feels like Paying Respect To Those Who Came Before (🫡🫡🫡 to the women of the ‘70s)

there are literally worse things than being in a saw trap like for instance openly expressing that you have wants and needs and are a real person

every winter solstice I am consumed with thoughts of Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost...

sometimes I forget that "if you jump on my shift...that's just rude" is an actual line from this show, and then I see it again and go absolutely apeshit buckwild. who else is having a lose your mind wednesday!

YOU GUYS IT’S DECEMBER 10TH YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN IN MY QUEUE SINCE FEBRUARY

the three christmas spirits right here

hello Aesop; how's the underworld been?

Every day I wake up and Hades kicks me in the nuts.

abbot: er doctor. veteran. combat medic. amputee. widower. goes to therapy. fakes measurements to allow an abortion for a young girl. gives blood while actively treating patients. copes in dark humor. a yapper. talks his friend off a ledge he was just on. listens to a police scanner on his day off. volunteers to come in on his day off. makes sure people know they're doing a good job.

“Talks his friend off a ledge he was just on” omg that’s such a poetic line about what it means to be friends and — oh he was literally on a ledge. taking deep breaths. and then his husband friend was on the same ledge later on. bc its their shared crash out ledge. got it.

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry

Spent tonight at a local short film festival. One of the shorts was made by two 12 year olds in their backyard and it was the best short of the entire night

It won the audience choice award, obviously

Anyway i hope you all learn from this that the bar for "good grade in airport" is genuinely so low as to be practically nonexistent. If you dont bring your whole fucking phone through a metal detector or act like water isnt a liquid at the bag search station then youre ahead of the curve

I feel so bad for the annoying women at work. Like I actually feel sick when we’re interacting and I feel the annoyance occurring in my brain like she really doesn’t mean to be this way and she just doesn’t want to feel alone or rejected. you can tell she’s experienced being an outsider everywhere she goes it’s only a matter of time. And it’s not cool chic or edgy but in the ugliest most desperate and dehumanizing way. They always start hopeful. they want to connect and they go searching for someone receptive to her so she can find her people but everyone turns away from her slowly and u hear it in her voice. It’s happening again. she starts hesitating to speak and when she does you hear a shaky child ending every sentence like it’s a question. Testing the waters to know if she’s wrong for even trying. And then I realize I took her smile for granted now that it’s gone.. I have to make it up to her I can’t let something like this continue. Life is so hard for people everywhere, so building a tolerance for being irritated is nothing in comparison especially if the reward is less pain and loneliness in the world I will always be the bestie you have my word
