The problem with my inclination to be helpful and solve problems is that I don’t realize I’m helping with the logistics of a predicament bondage position until it’s halfway complete, my knee is up by ear, and I realize that I have been tricked AGAIN

[ID: The Castiel "I love you" meme. On top is a man saying "I love you." On the bottom is another man edited to say "Illinois is the first state in the US to ban book banning." /end ID]

source:

"[Gov J.B.] Pritzker signed a bill into law on Monday to prohibit libraries from banning books, saying it’s the only one of its kind in the country."

"The association’s Library Bill of Rights states that reading materials “should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval” or “excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.”"

“contemporary Gothic is more obsessed with bodies than in any of its previous phases: bodies become spectacle, provoking disgust, modified, reconstructed, and artificially augmented”

Stacey Abbott, “Masters of Mise-En-Scène: The Stylistic Excess of Hannibal”, from Horror Television in the Age of Consumption: Binging on Fear, edited by Linda Belau and Kimberly Jackson  ii & iii. from Goya’s Desastres de la Guerra (1810–20): Plate 37: Esto es peor (This is worse): in the aftermath of battle, the mutilated torsos and limbs of civilian victims were mounted on trees, like “fragments of marble sculpture”.  Plate 39: Grande hazaña! Con muertos! (A heroic feat! With dead men!) iv. Damien Hirst’s Mother and Child Divided (1993) v. & vi.

even though I had Monday off, the anticipation of having SIX DAYS IN A ROW off from work has made this feel like the longest work week ever.

and that’s not even taking into account that I work with teens, in the mental health field, and we haven’t been experiencing our usual summer slump. Usually, all the teens get out of school and decide they’re perfectly fine and don’t need to show up for any of their appointments, but this summer the number of new referrals has been holding steady and so has the number of incident reports.

I’m gonna have to hide all my work apps and accounts on my phone while I’m out so I don’t give into the urge to check my email
