I’ve never been a real star wars fan but the phantom menace came out when I was 6 and my older brother was 8 so we were absolutely among the target audience and we had toy light sabers & we spent a lot of time playing star wars but my brothers were anakin and obi wan etc. and my best friend was padmé which meant i had to come up with a star wars oc and since my brother was anakin i decided okay. i would be anakin’s sister.

i made up a backstory that i was his twin sister who also lived on tatooine and i also had latent force potential but qui gon and obi wan didn’t even try to meet me even when anakin mentioned me and they left me behind.

this was an utter betrayal to me obviously, like my brother got rescued and i got abandoned and i could have been him and i should have been him. i should’ve been at his side. i should have gotten training and all else. i should have been a jedi too.

but they didn’t even care to meet me. so i had this intense grudge against the jedi and i ended up developing my skills myself and then i grew up and got myself off tattooine and set out on a mission as a rogue force user to kill obi wan.

and 6 year old me really embodied that role. she felt that. so when I was like 25 & rewatched the original star wars trilogy for the first time since childhood, when obi wan came on I was like ugh. I hate that guy. and my friend was like “WHY?”

and I thought about it and realized it wasn’t actually his character. I was remembering my childhood self insert oc beef.

Like, sorry you wouldn’t get it but obi wan and I have history.

so with the dawn of spring breaking over the horizon, it's time for some regular springtime safety reminders:

If you live somewhere prone to wildfires, get your air filters early (now) so you're not a part of the rush. One or two 20x20 inch furnace filters and a box fan make a great cheap diy air filter for those smokey days. If you have access to a costco you can usually get 4 packs of filters there for a reasonable price.

If you're going on a road trip, get an atlas. yes, you have gps on your phone, but when you're in the middle of nowhere you might run out of power, or have no signal, or break your phone, or any number of things. A comprehensive north american road atlas will only run you about $20-30, and it's well worth it. Just make sure to look over it before you go so you know how to read it.

Take sunscreen seriously. As someone who has had numerous family members deal with skin cancer, please. UV can pierce cloud cover too, so even if it's a bit overcast, play it safe. good sunscreen is well worth it.

Ticks! A lot of people think we don't have them on the west coast, but we do! I found a western black-legged tick in my yard just the other day. If you walk through tall grass or bushes or anything of the like, be sure to check yourself for ticks when you get the chance (or have a partner/friend to it).

Please, i am begging you. keep masking. Covid is still a very real danger, it's widespread, and it can be debilitating. Wear n95s if you can. for your sake, and the sake of your community.

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.

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

public libraries are so sick. there are five books I want to read and they're all relatively new so they're only available in hardback which is so expensive but it just cost me $0 to place holds on them. five books for zero dollars. it requires nothing but clicking a button and then going to the library to pick them up when they're ready. zero dollars. that's crazy
