you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

#the more you know #i journaled for a lot of my life #so youd think i’d know more #but unfortunately a child #especially an autistic one #is a bit of an unreliable narrator lmao #humans are fascinating

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!

15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.

Incredible!

If Hadestown has a moral, she says, then it’s “you have to try, you have to have hope, not because success is a given – it’s not. Orpheus fails. We heroicise” – here she breaks off to apologise that jet lag has led to her making up words – “we heroicise Orpheus not because he succeeds but because he tries, and that endeavour alone is worthwhile. How to live, and not merely survive, is to believe things could change.”

Anaïs Mitchell on her musical Hadestown: 'I worked on it so long I was afraid I'd never make another record'

some of you need to make your bed and have a shower with a soap that smells nice, and then sit in a chair near the window and have tea with milk and read a hardcover book and see how your creative block is after that tbh.

What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"

OK HONESTLY @littleguymart IS THE BEST AT PLUSHIE FINDING!! They found pics and info on my kindergarten plushie I've been trying to find irl and online for about 20 years now; SPIKE!

They even showed me he came in different colors which i never even knew!!

They are currently offering to try and help look up plushies for folks who donate to this list of charities and gofundmes for Palestinians stuck in Gaza needing to flee the ongoing genocide.

Since a lot of y'all like myself were probably looking for places to send aid whenever financially possible, definitely look over the list and if you are also a plushie lover like myself you too can possibly be reunited with a beloved old friend like my Spike here who I now can see and have a brand name to search for if I ever want to try and get one; all for a super important cause!

#oh my god this would be so helpful #i miss my plushie goddard but cannot donate #but i figure y'all would like this!

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

when you die, you walk into the cold unknown hand in hand with a girl you met once when you were five in a hotel pool and her hand is warm.
