I really feel tremendous grief for friendships that kind of petered away in the face of life’s currents. There are people with whom I formed deep, unique, vibrant, life-changing connections, and then we had to go our separate ways and it was too hard to maintain long-distance. There wasn’t a fight, it just sort of faded. And I feel like I have more friendships like this than friendships that have endured, so maybe I just have to get used to it. But if grief is all the love we have left over - well, I never did get to finish loving them. I love them, and I miss them, and I probably always will.
*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.
this is your reminder to start slow and gradually lean into consistency rather than to change your entire routine one fine day. it’s okay to start wherever and whenever you feel ready. please don’t compare yourself to the highlight reel of people on social media. i promise it’s never too late to work on your goals. you don’t have to make a drastic change just because it’s a new year. time is a social construct and i want nothing more than for you to truly enjoy life at present without worrying too much about the future. you are completely able to achieve goals you have set for yourself, but take it step by step. please avoid burnout and please take rest. wishing you all the best!!
i absolutely set people up to infodump at me, itâs one of my absolute favourite ways to learn things! you mean i get to LEARN NEW STUFF from a FRIEND who is INCANDESCENT OVER SHARING? sign me up FOREVER.
not to be dramatic but the uk is literally slipping into a legit fascist state rn, our rights to free speech are slowly being revoked and literally nobody is talking about it lmao I hate it here
Internet anonymity possibly being revoked
rights to peaceful protest no longer a thing, AND what really gets me is the fact that police can arrest you if they THINK youâre going to a protest or being disruptive. youâre disabled and you walk by a protest about disability rights? police can arrest you on suspicion of partaking in a protest. couple of teens hanging out on a street corner? police can arrest you if theyre having a bad day and can say you are suspected of protest.
stop and search warrants. this goes back to the protest thing. youâve just been to a DIY store and have bought some DIY equipment. police can now stop and search you with no reason and say you were using that equipment to incite a protest.
gag orders on the press
most UK press being in parliaments back pocket and therefore we get no real truth unless its leaked
maybe im going to the worst case scenario but Iâd rather do that than be complacent. are you terrified yet?
okay, really bad stuff
what can we do about it? /g
honestlyâŚtalk about it. speak up about it and spread the word. minorities are suffering because of these laws and we canât even protest it right now. make people aware of it and share it. Parliament is trying to slip this through quietly while weâre all distracted so letâs make it harder for them to do it quietly
82 YEARS AGO - BATMAN DEBUTED FOR THE FIRST TIME Eighty-two years ago on March 30, 1939, Detective Comics #27 hit newsstands, introducing the Caped Crusader for the very first time in a featured story called “The Case of the Chemical Syndicate.”
“And for all that fierce exterior, I’ve never met anyone who cared as deeply about his fellow man as Bruce Wayne.” - Amanda Waller, Justice League Unlimited, Season 2 Episode 13 (2005)
“If you cant imagine your batman comforting a scared kid, thats not Batman. Thats the punisher in a silly hat”
Your most important survival skill is asking for help
Goddamn preach this
Reblogging because (1) itâs still true and (2) the first time this crossed my dash, I discovered Foxes in Love, now one of my favorite online comics.
the true strength of humanity is acting as a group, taking care of each other to do things no single person can do
saying the unfortunate should save themselves is betraying the basic concept of what it means to be human
Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps sure is easier when you actually have boots.
