today i am thinking about what we leave behind. in the store, on all of the bath mats, someone has drawn a heart or left a handprint. in the pen aisle, each page of the test paper is covered in names and little drawings and fuck covid and over and over again - hello hello hello hi hello. on the street i live, three houses have perfect hopscotch lanes carefully transcribed with rules and everything - jump here! now do a spin! graffiti of a deer on the side of a building, names scrawled into setting concrete. initials carved into park bench seats. In the bathroom, in silver sharpie - i hope you’re okay out there. i love you, you’re beautiful, keep trying. geocached tubes of trinkets, jackets left out in case somebody needs it. a note on my windshield - closed your door it was a little open have a great day and stay safe! my friends and i, fully grown adults, build a sandcastle on the edge of the ocean. 

inside of returned schoolbooks. inside of little secret pockets. hi hello hello hello. what a beautiful calling. you and i are in different times, and will never meet, but here is the greeting i’d owe you. if you never get to see this person, what do you say? hello! i love you. be good out there. be safe.

I have watched grown adults shaking and crying from checking their student loans. Who are asking God and me and whomever is listening - how is it possible I have paid off more than double of what I owe and I still have the entire amount left to go?

I have watched people look at me and cheerfully report that the medical debt is too severe, that they will never be free from it, that they don’t even bother buying potentially life-saving meds because they simply can’t afford it. More than once I have heard the phrase - it’s fine, I’ll just die, I guess.

And at the end of the day, either you are okay with them dying too, or you are angry about it. You think you are free? What freedom comes from owing money? It is nice that is always our own faults; 18 and signing over our entire lives to a government that blames them for existing. It is an honor to die for your country. It is my fault when I am crushed under the white heel of poverty. You are not a serf, right? You have freedom of choice. And a beautiful life.

“Taxes,” he says. “Nobody is getting my fucking money. I made it myself fair and square.”

Insurance doesn’t cover my illness because it is preexisting. I am told it will be 500 dollars to even see the doctor today. She informs me the damage is permanent. “Out of network,” she says when I press, “You’re looking at a starting twenty thousand.” I tell her thanks. I will make an appointment later, I say, but I am not making that appointment. I am not going back. I do not have, categorically, twenty thousand. I make my choice as if I have any.

“I did the right thing,” she says to me, desperate, sobbing. “I went to school! I worked hard! I have paid 120 thousand dollars! For a single college degree!”

*gently tracing my finger tips down your arm* you're so cringe tbh...

*sets up a nice hot bath just for you*

*begins slicing in carrots, and various other vegetables into the water behind your back*

every time i see this post i forget the punchline. and it’s always so fucking good

"That's why the British museum is so busy all the time. No British people ever go in there, it's full of people from abroad looking at their own stuff."

I tool Phaedra on a leash walk today down to the graveyard and I realized I’m dressed like I smuggle magic beans.

Ppl on tik tok “stanning” joe exotic bc hes gay and funny like theres not footage of him beating on animals and routinely luring young drug addicts into abusive relationships

Guys i know we talk about liking villains a lot but this is a real ass man. Like he did these things in real life. He really hired someone to kill a woman because she threatened his reputation as a private zoo owner

He’s also a horrible racist and misgenders his employee (Saff is a trans man, not, as many seem to assume, a butch lesbian) like people can we not.

Yeah but like… Funny little gay mullet man is entertaining and relatable. But not for all the bad stuff. Like overall he’s a bad person, yes, but can’t people just acknowledge that and also enjoy the funny ramblings of him anyway?

He is not “funny little gay mullet man.” He is an actual dude who went to fucking prison because he ordered a hit on a woman and abused many wild animals. He is a man that lured young vulnerable men into relationships by offering to feed their drug addictions. How do i better express that he is not a man worth relating to.

I’m utterly floored that this is something we have to articulate like what is wrong with people

Fandom rots peoples brains into turning real life people into fictional characters to be related to, despite their horrific actions and abuse.

Jesus, after coming back from the dead: hey guys it’s me Jesus, just look at the scars on my hands

Thomas, a known freak: show us the feet as well please

being a woman is just a constant cycle of [maybe if i was prettier] [maybe if i was prettier] [naybe if i was—]

me taking another pointless personality quiz to find out what type of moss i am: oh the audience in my head is gonna love this

Reblogging this for the reblogs, for those people in the comments that didn’t bother to do their research and jumped to the conclusion that she’s begging her poor fans to donate their own money when she quite literally already pointed out that the show is just something for people to enjoy, not a telethon because the money has already been donated by wealthy companies. She FaceTimed the CEO of Apple in front of viewers on The Tonight Show just to confirm his ten million dollar donation 🤷🏾‍♂️
