I don't have the energy to feel sad or hopeless or even mad. There are people that hate everything about who I am, and there always have been. And people like me have survived regardless. Thrived, even. The only thing i feel right now is defiance. And that's all i need.

Dude, kids literally want to go outside and do stuff sooooo bad, and I think anyone who says otherwise should stop and take a second to think about why they view the younger generations as unable to separate from technology. Spoiler alert: it's not their fault. There is nowhere to go.
A skatepark recently opened up near my house, and that place is always FILLED to the BRIM with kids on the ramps and hanging out. I'm not even sure how some of them are able to get there, but they must, because I see them every day.
I'm 16 and I don't have a job. The main hangout places for my friend group are the mall and getting ice cream somewhere, which is good and fun, but I don't always want to spend money. Hell, we sometimes meet at the local pharmacy to buy candy and stuff.
Again, kids want to go outside and do stuff, but when everything is either far away or costs money, they don't have much of a choice.
When I lived in a part of the city that was up-and-coming as a kid, I went and did all sorts of stuff. I walked to the comic store, the library, the movie theater... I took the city bus home from one of my schools. I got myself Sonic and Dairy Queen.
And then we moved to a suburban area where the nearest bus was 15 minutes away on foot. The library was half an hour away if you didn't have a car, and so was the nearest restaurant.
So I stayed at home. Of course I did. Because I tried doing the things I used to do and they were suddenly far more taxing.
It wasn't that I stopped wanting to leave the house.
Interesting interaction on Facebook today.
In one of my quilt groups a member posted some pictures of how she made ruffled aprons for her granddaughters, and then was stumped on what to make for her grandsons. Oh, she thought, custom pillows!
Gentle reader, I saw red. The backstory here is that quilters are overwhelmingly white retired women, and they (or at least the ones who join FB quilting groups) tend to have some VERY old-fashioned views on men and women and girls and boys. (Lots of posts like "what ideas do you have for boy quilts?" and the comments will be full of pictures of quilts with tractors on them.) So I thought, I guess the message here is that girls are supposed to be working in the kitchen while the boys lounge around on their fancy pillows waiting to be served. I was ready to let her have it in the comments and risk getting booted from the group. But first I looked in the comments to see how the post was being received.
I was blown away by the comments. Comment after comment saying things like, "those are lovely, I make aprons for all my grandsons and they love to wear them when they help out in the kitchen!" "I made custom aprons for all my sons, and then more for their sons when they got old enough! They all love them!"
Then, after all these comments, here comes OP with one of her own: "I think next year I'll make custom pillows for my granddaughters and ruffled aprons for my grandsons." My comment: "That's a great idea!"
Sometimes people surprise you.
And sometimes people just need a little nudge, not a flamethrower.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

this is the funniest thing i've read all day
am always obsessed when someone says to a character “call off your dog” about another character.
"He doesn't bite"

The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people
The joy is indescribable here all over the Gaza Strip. This thing seems like a literal miracle.
Please continue helping Nader's family so they can get medical help when they reach safety! ❤️ [ @gazavetters list #4]

the news: we've reached a deal! yay!
literally hours later:
fundamentally vile. there's just no words to speak of how evil this is. like i said, the palestinians will celebrate a ceasefire but the war is never over.

the fact that we are firmly in a time where conservatives are like "the actual founding fathers, who were slaveowners, were not racist enough for my taste" is wild
