rattle the stars

i've aged a decade in the last two years

like it's a little thing but in january of 2029 i'm gonna remember how all the hollywood movies of this era starting featuring solely straight white characters as their leads and supporting casts. i'm gonna remember the superstores that cut their pride collections and stopped putting up black history month displays at the ends of aisle. i'm gonna remember the multiple massive tech companies i worked for that killed their ERG/DEI programs and banned any social media posts about first-gen college students or women in tech. i'm gonna remember the car commerical narration that became less about the car and more about how america is for only the elite few who can "handle it'". when we've got some normie tim walz type installed in the oval office and congress is running hague-lite trials on ice agents and all these gigantic, impossibly rich entities rush back to pretending they always cared about doing the right thing and believed in the inevitable drumbeat of progress, i'm gonna remember they were the few institutions who could've survived taking a stand and didn't. they hurt our culture for the worst because they were scared of losing a tax break from a nazi wannabe fascist

I think the only thing I really want re: buddie is Chim being the one to talk to Eddie about it once Eddie figures it out. I want Chim to get to knowingly ask Eddie if he loves Buck, and to not wait if he does. Everything else would just be sprinkles

oh my god I just saw the cutest thing in the world. little Black girl with beads in her hair for the first day of school and the beads were pink then silver then a bunch of yellow then beige then grey to make them look like pencils 🥺🥺🥺 brb I will draw an artist’s rendition

I SHOWED IT TO MY FLIGHT ATTENDANT WHEN HE GAVE ME MY COOKIES AND HE LAUGHED SO HARD HE TOOK MY PHONE TO SHOW IT TO THE OTHER FLIGHT ATTENDANT

I don’t know how you got a good grade in being a passenger on an airline but that’s a totally normal thing to achieve and I’m not seething with jealousy at all.

me when i FUCKING get you *image of two mourning doves cuddling*

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic
