The Lonely Flower Petal

This is so important! And it applies to every passion/hobby

Don't ever let anybody talk you out of writing or pursuing your passions. Every time you write, you're improving your craft. Every time you read, you're also improving your knowledge of the craft you love. Keep at it, give yourself and your art some grace, and some room to breathe. The only person who can ever stop you from writing is you, and wouldn't that be a shame? You'll never know who might be touched by your work if you give up on it now.

Sometimes, i get really insecure about my lack of formal education when talking about politics, but then I remember some people have masters degrees and still voted for Donald Trump or Peter Dutton.

Empathy needs no books or lectures to be felt, I'm not saying education is unnecessary, its extremely necessary, but I'm sick of this "they didn't know any better" bullshit when it comes to fascism and oppression. The German people should have known better, and the American people should know a hell of a lot better after all that. I am not well educated, I dropped out of high school, and even before that, I struggled because of family violence and poverty, and I totally stopped trying at school in 7th grade because I was suicidal. There are many reasons peoples education gets disrupted, which often results in more poverty and oppression. But your lack of education justifies JACK SHIT.

I was 12 when I had a screaming match with my racist grandma over her defending Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, when i was 16, I vandalised public property with activist slogans demanding justice for the Indigenous Australians being unfairly and disproportionately incarcerated and imprisoned by Australian law enforcement, I was 17, homeless, and addicted to meth when i went to my first pro-Palestine rally outside Melbourne Parliament. You do not need to be well-educated or in a good place to feel empathy for others. You don't need to be religious to love thy neighbour. You don't need ANYTHING to he a good person.

If you ever try and tell me to my face that you "didn't know any better" after supporting fascists, I will curbstomp you so hard you'll get an education through amnesia therapy and brain injury rehab.

Currently watching Willie Muse on youtube. While talking about christmas spirit and the feeling of it slipping away every year he casually drops the line:

"I think nostalgia is the victory price we get for making it through the moment"

10/10 would recommend, dont know if I'll ever be the same.

Yes this!!!

My headcanon is that he had a wife, but she died, and he was too grief stricken to tell anybody. Then he met this guy George (the "brother in law"), and they eventually move in together (in one of the early seasons Columbo mentions that George is living with him). When he talks about his wife in the show, the stories are a mix of the dead wife and George

columbo gets a free of charge travel plus hotel plus expenses plus tourism all paid trip to EUROPE to the other side of the world in england but he doesnt bring his wife. he does bring his brother in laws camera thou. you know wat we call these men

My favorite band!

My bf overheard me watching a Drawfee video and said “is that Karina and the white boys”

Vomit

Have a nose bleed

And let me tell you, waking up with you face in a pool of half dried blood, is scary.

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

17. Everyone is at least a little queer
