If any of y’all have panicked about seeing “OH MY GOD A NEW COVID MUTATION WE’RE DOOMED VACCINES ARE USELESS” here’s a good post that breaks down why everything will still be fine

I'm probably one of the few people who will still buy CDs and rip the songs for personal use rather than listen to them streaming.

Doesn't mean I *don't* use Spotify or whatever, I just prefer personal copies I can listen to anytime, offline or on.

I bought a green colored 64GB flash drive today (my previous biggest one was 8GB lol) and I don't know what I want to do with all that space, but backing up things that have disappeared from the Internet is a good first choice

why do glossy screens even exist? i mean who even wants to see their own reflection?

i'm still alive! just trying to resume functioning in a capitalist society while grappling with continued concussion recovery

"return to full time" is a simple phrase that hides a lot of complexity and health challenges

PRO MAKEUP HAXX:

to make people think you've spent much more time doing your eyeshadow than you actually have, get a large 'toothbrush' style brush and a rainbow highlighter, put down some glitter eyeshadow primer, and then load up the brush with rainbow highlighter and roll it onto your eye all at once, then do the lid itself some other color since that's where it's not gonna transfer too good and fill in the edges with a brush as needed

and BAM! RAINBOW!

(selfies with eye contact follow)

note: you'll have to clean up the fallout underneath your eye but once it's on there it stays pretty well, my under-eyes are looking especially grungy because this was immediately after i had physical therapy and my mascara was being complainey + didn't use any under-eye concealer, just bb cream today

it looks impressive but is really quick to do, and would be v cute for st patrick's day, especially if you do your lids green

"but i don't wANNAAAAA go to physical therapyyy tomorrowwwww"

"what if we use our new purse? y'know, the one that's shaped like a gameboy with holo angel wings and 'game over' on it?"

"buuuut...."

"we can wear our rainbow leggings, too. and that pair of pink combat boots with the angel wings, if you want."

"....whiiiiiiine"

"and our xbox controller resin charm necklace? y'know, the one that's a little glittery and pink?

"okaaaaaaaaay i guess if we do thaaaaaaat i can gooooo"

this probably says something about me, and that something is unflattering, but

a good 90% of my self-care is just me talking myself into shit with bribery like i'm a bratty toddler.

I wish any of my attempts at trying to create a space where I feel like I belong would work, or I could find something that's still active in 2019

Hey what if pet me???

I took pizza home from a birthday party and there was clear understanding that it was for me, and then my brother decided to eat all of it. I was really looking forward to it but I guess that didn't matter to him.

Kami is on my bed. She is so far utterly unaware that Sid is under my covers curled up. If she was aware she would be growling and grumbling and going to sulk in the corner of my room

Thinking about how fucked up it is that if you're poor you will never be allowed a dish washing machine in your rental unit and how that punishes those with less into having even less free time

Individuals using "it/its" pronouns are valid!

nyaa?

woo played video games to the point of dissociation :S

realizing that your entire social circle had been made up of individuals with various prejudices and unsafe viewpoints is always a jarring but necessary wake-up call

it's hard to make new friends but sometimes it's necessary.

Daily reminder that if you refuse to use someone's pronouns because you find them 'silly' or 'dehumanizing', you're playing into respectability politics.

Denying someone the agency to tell you who they are and how they wish to be addressed is dehumanizing and demeaning in a very -real- way.
