The World Is Heartbreaking Every Day And The World Is Beautiful Every Day And We Have To Pay Attention

i must ask you reblog this so said beast, you know. actually has attributes also ping me or something if you draw it i want to see.

I am once again reminded why I loathe flying with basically my entire being. it's such an awful experience and I struggle with it so so much. it doesn't help that the last time I flew, it was one of the most awful experiences flying I've had and has left me with lingering memories and flashes that always make me want to burst into tears every time I remember. there's no real point to this, just that I hate flying, it absolutely fucking sucks and I can't wait til I get home so I can burst into tears, hug my family, pet my cat, eat a homecooked meal and pass out for the following 72 hrs. fuck flying. :(((

just got back from a funeral and on the ride from the graveyard all that kept playing in my head over and over was

"it just feels inhumane to lose so much

cause when you leave you know

you take more than your love"

fairly certain I'm interacting with some of my mutuals for the first time via boops. get WHACKED. I love you.

I think bringing up "it/its" pronouns is a good test for people who claim to be "trans allies" because it so easily weeds out the people who are only doing it superficially. I've seen so many people who will post "Punch your local TERF #transrightsarehumanrights" and then turn around and be like "If someone says they go by 'it/its' pronouns it's actually good to misgender them because they're just teenager trenders"

"oh you have an allergy? sorry I harassed you for being a picky eater, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a picky eater, I still get to harass those people"

"oh you have chronic pain? sorry I harassed you for being lazy, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a lazy person, I still get to harass those people"

"oh you're autistic? sorry I harassed you for being weird, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a weird person, I still get to harass those people"

"oh you're deaf? sorry I harassed you for ignoring me, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. you're just not actually a rude person, I still get to harass those people"

"man why does everything have to be a disorder now? I miss the old days when people would TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for being failures and it was socially exceptable for me to harass them, now I look like a jerk when I bully people for annoying me."

those romans think they're minted 🤔 but they ain't rich like me 💵 you can't call yourself loaded till you can buy an army💰⚔️ ran rome with pompey and caesar 🤝 they're more famous than me 😭 but i'm the worlds richest geezer 👴 there's no-one richer than me 🤑
