The occasionally original blog.

sometimes i feel like socializing but not talking, just being close, like a cat.

I hope one day I will be ok.

but that the season wasn't subtle at all with how it was centered around lestat having been sexually abused by his mother for over two centuries—abuse which started before they were ever even vampires—and that the finale culminates in lestat finally starting to come to terms with that knowledge to the point of standing up to gabriella and rejecting her from his life yet people keep going on about how "nothing happened this season" and "lestat didn't suffer at all" or at least "not enough" (in a season where lestat was sexually and/or physically assaulted every episode) and "there were too many 'sex' scenes between gabriella and lestat" (re: scenes of gabriella sexually assaulting lestat) and "there was too much focus on them" (in a season about how much gabriella sexually abusing lestat has affected him.)

never been seen in the same room together

left handedness is basically homosexuality if you think about it

harmless variation in behavior that has been stigmatized/demonized, especially by religious people, throughout history in many different cultures. it’s innate but people have historically been forced to hide or “fix” it. gives an advantage at certain things (baseball [lefties + gay women]/interior design [gay men])

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

hey can y’all maybe ask yourselves why when people of color say things like “this movement I generally agree with has a racism problem” your gut instinct is to downplay and dismiss and say it’s only a few bad apples and that we’re co-opting the larger conversation by talking about it? can y’all examine this instinct in yourselves for a second?

Sometimes just sitting in the sun is enough for a good day. We overcomplicate joy.

Man at my job just told me to “hold your little horsies just a little longer ☺️” about the task I’ve been waiting for him to complete or at the very least update me on for six weeks. Brendan, I will fuck your adult son. You’re gonna start seeing me at family Christmas. Horsies in tow.

just saw a chair so photogenic I had to reevaluate my feelings towards plastic furniture

there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

disgustedly throws youtube autodubbing onto the pyre pile

No, guys, you don’t understand. I just got so relieved seeing this original post again that I nearly cried.

Bless the blog that brought the original back!

Here’s the original post without some of you asshats changing the pictures
