#i don't know if my sanity could cope if there is

[katya-goncharov]

#i usually set two alarms - one an hour before i have to set off and one half an hour before which is when i actually get up. because i #like to have a bit of time to wake up gradually #and then it takes me about an hour to travel to work (it's technically less time but i have to factor in the bus nearly always being late!) #so i guess for a morning shift i'd usually get up about an hour and a half before it starts #at the moment i'm mostly working late (5-10pm) shifts though so i can get up as late as i like which is nice!

i had such a hellish bus journey home from work today and i'm STILL drained from it

#basically the bus i usually take was cancelled because the bus service from my uni is shit and since hardly any buses come in the #evening i had to wait over half an hour for the next one after my late shift at work ended #and because it was a friday night the entire bus stop was crowded with rowdy drunk undergrad students #and then when the bus did come you could tell the bus driver was completely fed up with them because she deliberately waited like #ten minutes to set off until everyone quietened down. and then every time they got too rowdy she'd stop the bus again #and i was really paranoid because the journey was taking so long and it was like nearly midnight by this point and i didn't want to be #walking home through town so late because you get really dodgy people about and i knew i wouldn't feel safe! #and the drunk students were being SO loud and they kept screaming at the tops of their voices and blowing vape smoke pretty #much right into my hair and i was just feeling very impatient and overstimulated #and THEN to top it all off one of them vomited in the seat across from me and it smelt awful and i had to step over it just to get off #the bus. and i couldn't even get food on the way home because it was so late by the time the bus arrived that everywhere was closed #so yeah. not a fun evening and now i'm just tired and annoyed and the worst thing is i have to do a late shift AGAIN tomorrow

okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

#i'm not american and i thought it was a british thing!! #i mean it was in the flour babies by anne fine and in a grange hill storyline AND there was a tracy beaker returns storyline where they #had to look after eggs. so that's two of my hyperfixation shows as a kid that had that happen #and i think some schools did it in real life. not my school but i know my mum's friend's daughter did it at her school #anyway i wonder where it originated - the uk or america. because i know in the uk it's been portrayed in media since at least 30 years ago #like it's NOT new and it's NOT ever been exclusively american

stop believing that you ran out of time to shape yourself into who you want to be! stop believing that its ruined! stop believing you don’t have potential! you are not a fixed being! you have endless opportunities to grow.

like you know how sam is a vegetarian but they’re terrified of saying the word vegetarian on the show for some reason so they just show you lots of scenes where he’s eating salad. it’s like that with dean being bisexual

I love when you're reading an old book and the main character is SO blatantly neurodivergent (and probably the author is too), and the only thing that stops it being canon is the fact that it was written before it would have been diagnosed

#i'm rereading When Marnie Was There for uni and i'm literally on the second page and anna is already so blatantly autistic #and i can just feel it in my bones that the author probably was too but just not in a way that would have been diagnosed in the 1960s #i mean anna's character literally masks and doesn't want to fit in with the other kids and doesn't know how to act and feels different and #these are all traits that have been established in literally a page and a half of the book

#i already made a post like this earlier in the week but it's been cloudy ever since and then NOW when i have to work oh NOW it's #suddenly nice again #i swear the weather is doing it deliberately to spite me or something

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

[katya-goncharov]

oh but how absolutely monumental it still is to have all these big and mainstream pieces of queer television right now. remember how excited you got when there was one character who said he was bi or gay only then to be killed or written off or treated horribly by both writers and the public. remember how hard it was to find queer shows and movie that didn’t make you hate yourself or so angry or scared. remember how seen you felt about that one queer kiss or that one coming out or within one particular character! yes, devastating sad queer pieces are important. fucked up queer stories need to be told. queer period pieces and dramas with unhappy endings too. but queer happiness, queer young and old love, queer cringe, queer joy- we deserve that too.

There’s evidence that Palestinians in the mass graves (including babies, children, people in medical scrubs) were buried alive.
