u r very cool

is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered “i used oat milk ;)” doesnt that make u want to live another day?

here is my life philosophy: next week there might be someone ahead of you in line at the store who’s short a quarter and you have a quarter and you can give it to them. if you weren’t there, they’d have to put something back. the week after that you could be getting lunch and the waiter might ask if you want some pancakes someone else ordered and never picked up. you could find someone’s lost cat. you could watch someone’s bag while they go to the restroom. there are so many ways you are going to touch other people’s lives and they are going to touch yours and there’s no way to know when it’s going to happen. so you have to keep living!!! i wouldn’t want to die knowing that tomorrow the barista will give me free oat milk just to be nice. 

When I was 11 years old - we went to Sea World for my birthday. This was to avoid the realization I had no friends, and no one to come to a birthday party and probably because someone gave my mother free tickets at work. It was kinda a shitty day despite being at a theme park full of cute animals. There was a new roller coaster there that had just opened so we decided to go on. I was nervous. I’d never been on a roller coaster.

A group of 6 college kids were ahead of us in line and started chatting with me. Full on just having a fun conversation with someone literally going through the beginning of a very awkward middle school period. I was so shocked they wanted to talk to me. I think my mom mentioned it was my birthday. They were very nice about it. When we got on the ride they told us to go ahead of them so we could sit at the front of the car since it held 8 people.

Now the ride (called Journey to Atlantis - I believe it is sadly no longer there) started with a slow ride of beautiful visuals of dolphins and oceans and computerized images of this imaginary Atlantis before going up the hill to the beginning of the coaster, where it paused for about 30 seconds, and then the ride started. The college kids must have known there would be a pause. Maybe they’d ridden it before I’m not sure.

But as we sat there on that peak, 6 people I’ve never known, and will never know again, sang a very very lonely 11 year old happy birthday. Loudly. And with gusto. They were happy and laughing and joyful. And it made me feel less alone in the world.

I am 29 years old this year, and I still remember them. I still remember that kindness. It is so important. It doesn’t go into a vacuum. It exists beside me in my daily life. And I love the idea that I have been that person to someone else too.

It’s stunningly lovely to be human when we’re kind to each other.

OH THIS CAN’T BE LEFT IN THE NOTES

I want a TMNT iteration crossover but with the turtles being the ages they would currently be in 2023. So you have the 51 year old 1987 turtles, 35 year old 2003 turtles, 26 year old 2012 turtles, 18-20 year old Rise turtles, and 15 year old MM turtles. Put them in a room together.

26??? 2012 WOULD BE 26???

Someone has probably made this joke already but I sort of had a little thought on what the Donnie's meeting might possibly be like.

crossover time!! need this dynamic

Spoiler free mutant mayhem comic!! Anyways I totally think raph has the best fashion sense and his brother's outfits send him into cardiac arrest

and i count my blessings every day

Thinking about how the closest I get to frequently speaking in my mother tongue is by saying my friends names and how that’s both the most beautiful and saddest thing in the world.

something something the only sin that hozier doesn't display in a positive/neutral light is gluttony something capitalism something free will vs taking advantage of someone something something

i need to walk straight into the ocean

new hozier album just came out and there's a new mitski album coming out next month. no rest for crowley or any of us

with unreal unearth out, it just entirely reiterates one of the (many) reasons I love hozier and his music so much: because it reminds me that love can be and is able to be studied and expressed intellectually, that it isn’t in fact the stupid frivolous thing the television and film industry is dismissing now.

sure, there are arguments to be made about how women have been subjugated into believing romance is necessary to make them whole or complete, but also there’s just such an overwhelming majority of people who belittle romance and love especially in fictional spaces and in academic settings and it’s like. you idiots. you absolute fools. the poets spoke of love, world famous authors who changed the course of literary history because they loved and had something to say about it. romantic love can be a truly wonderful nuanced thing with layers, with metaphor and imagery and allusions.

hozier creates that space for me. his music exists as this oasis where love can be sung about in an intelligent way using such complexities. it’s music that makes me crave love with such desperate aching and yearning, but without any illusion that I’m an object, a subject of observation, or that I’m nothing outside of romance. I’ve always believed love is a vessel through which to discover yourself, other people, and the truths of life, and hozier sings of that balance between love and ambition that I have felt in my soul for as long as I can remember.

listening to Unreal Unearth in its entirety is like looking at a beautiful collection of mixed media visual artworks from one artist and marveling at how each piece is so unique but also somehow works seamlessly with the whole

girls after listening to hozier sing the most haunting yet beautiful song about the horrors of colonialism

It's all "we love mobility aid users" until we say that small businesses shouldn't be allowed to get away with violating the ADA and then it's all "but but the money giving you the same basic access as everyone else is soooo hard and expensive".

If a business doesn't have an ADA-standard ramp it deserves to fail. If a store can't keep its aisles clear and wide enough it deserves to fail. If a business can't keep the floors even and non-slip it deserves to fail. If users of any mobility aid can't navigate a business it deserves to fail. We are not a nice addition or an extra customer base. We are non-expendable human beings with the right to enter public places with the same ease as everyone else.

Synthesizers are the horses of instruments, they can be scary and intimidating when you startle them, they even make scary noises, but if you know how to calm them, how to make them feel comfortable they will sing you the most beautiful oscillations

Synthesizers go “neigh!!” And “purr” but only when your nice to them
