Somebody in a Twitch stream chat was trying to insult a streamer by saying, "You're almost 40, and you've only gotten a tarot card reading once?" And I don't know, I'm still amused by this. I'm in my late 20s and I've also only had a tarot card reading once. One of those ones on the street you pay for. The guy doing my tarot card reading was like, "You're going to join the military," or something like that, and 15 year old me thought to myself, "Okay, well that's not true. So I guess I just got scammed," and then I just never got a tarot card reading since then.

nice things i noticed this week : moss on trees. sunlight peeking through clouds. bird songs. gentle wind on my face. cat sleeping in the grass. fog laying on the landscape. a light drizzle. drawing of a dragon. cute dog. so many trees. mountains in the distance. a smile from a stranger. a heart drawn in the dirt. a worm. a raven. the soft fur of a cat i met. the smell of vanilla. the quiet life of spring. the humanity and nature of it all. love. love. love.

that Vonnegut quote about his uncle who would say, uncringing, on a picnic or some other moment something like "isn't this nice" and oh fuck. Isn't this nice 🫂

i'm happy that vozinha's mom will be able to come to the rest of his matches, but let's not forget that this is a pr-driven intervention that leaves the structures that prevented her from attending his first game in place. thousands of fans are still required to pay exorbitant "visa bonds" while other countries' fans are completely prohibited from attending. not to mention the iranian team being forced out of the country immediately following their matches, or the iraqi player who was interrogated for seven hours when he arrived in america.

i feel like i should have been more explicit: haiti, cote d'ivoire, and senegal fans all faced travel bans from the trump administration that prevented fans from traveling to the games. this is racism, plain and simple. and gianni infantino, who in the past was happy to bring his power to bear to get visa guarantees for fans during russia 2018, is content to stand by and watch this happen, because he's a trump crony who doesn't care about anything but money.

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”

this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too

I self administered black tea to the point of madness.

recently rediscovered a zest for life and it has me thinking the most asinine thoughts. i used to stare at the ceiling agonizing over my insignificance in the universe and now i’m like “the creamer looks so pretty going into the coffee.” “isn’t it amazing i can listen to all the music ever made anywhere i want at any time.” pathetic.

this is magic. you have done magic. holy christ. i am in awe this is so so so so so pretty
