Just trying not to cry at this point

I love clothes...... I love you clothing I love cool patterns I love natural materials I love you evolution of fashion through time I love well constructed garments I love functional accessories I love ornate details I love handiwork I love visible mends I love the stories clothes hold I love great tailoring I love winter wear and summer play suits I love resoled shoes I love heirloom pieces I love you thermal layers and old cotton underwear I love heavy wool coats and I love paint covered overalls I love formal wear that fits impeccably and I love oversized shirts and knits that swallow you whole. I love the language of what we wear and the function we need it to serve and how absolutely universal and incredibly person clothing and style is. I love you clothes

in these dark times, remember that you will feel sunlight on your skin once more. you will smell the heat and life of summer, you will feel grass underfoot. this will pass, you will love and live on.

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through. 

with 4/20 coming up here’s a reminder that if y'all support the legalization of marijuana you need to also be supporting decriminalization + the release of everyone in prison right now for marijuana-related charges (some of whom are serving as much as 20+ years) just as hard, if not harder.

if your pro-marijuana activism only supports white people starting weed shops and getting rich off of it while there are people of color and other marginalized people in jail whose lives have been ruined for doing the same thing and people still getting arrested every day for it and you just…don’t give a shit about that, that’s not cool.

it’s getting weird knowing natural apocalypse from climate change is bearing down on us all and still going about mundane daily life kinda like

I don't get seasonal depression, I just get slightly sleepier and more irritable and mopey when I don’t get any sunlight, but when I said this to my doctor she was like “you should still get a lightbox” and I did and now I have way more energy.  The moral of the story is, if you spend time thinking to yourself “well I don’t actually have [diagnosable problem], I have [milder version that I can just ignore]”, you could instead of just ignoring it get the accommodation for the problem and see if it improves your life. I do not expect to remember this next time I “don’t actually have the real problem”, but maybe eventually I will learn.

We treat accommodations like something that you can only have if you’re really really desperately suffering and cannot function at all without them, but that’s… really really not the case. Or at least it shouldn’t be.
