coming of age stories that feature characters who are primarily 15-19 really fucked with my perception of adulthood and growing up. Yea there’s a lot of stuff that happens in that phase of your life that shape you as a person but rarely does an event change you to the point where you come out of it all Mature and Grown Up. Feeling like I need to be ready to face the world by the time I’m 20 has given me too much anxiety than it’s worth.

It’s been one year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall tall trees and salt air. Where you’re allowed to wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost every day & no one will side eye you cause no one is around. It’s just you and your imaginary cabin and the stories you make up to pass the time. To say thank you for all you have done to make this album what it was, I wanted to give you the original version of The Lakes. Happy 1 year anniversary to Rebekah, Betty, Inez, James, Augustine, and the lives we all created around them. Happy Anniversary, folklore. 🌿

It’s fucking wild to me that the Israeli military condemns Hamas for “using human shields” by existing near hospitals, schools, and refugee camps and then seems to think the reasonable thing to do in response is to bomb the hospitals, schools, and refugee camps. And the international media offices. Nothing at all suspicious about destroying the equipment and offices of news agencies on the ground, especially under the guise of destroying terrorist headquarters, when both news agencies have been like “yeah, we investigated THAT VERY THING and found no evidence of that.”
