children existing in public spaces is genuinely like. necessary for the continuation of society. it doesnt have to be your kids you dont have to volunteer at a daycare or whatever but you need to be able to tolerate the presence of someone who is learning how to exist as a human and interact with people

the phrase āthis is my first time being aliveā has done wonders for me recently. Yeah, I donāt know how to navigate this situation! Itās brand new to me and Iām learning on the fly, arenāt humans such wonderfully adaptive creatures?

itās not discussed enough how keith richards literally wrote ruby tuesday as a parting love letter about how wrong he was to try and clip someoneās wings, that he canāt control how people grow together or apart. but itās all rooted in fault, his fault. not her fault for being a woman who has felt stung with the pain of being held back, his fault for holding her back. to write that when women were being treated so badly through media.. to just release a song that allows a woman to exist as a person and not as an object, to release a song where a woman isnāt the villain for a broken heart! for a 23 year old man to write that, for any man to have that kind of understanding of any sort of emotion or life at large is insane - but for a rockstar in 1967? keith richards the man you are

if you dont want print media to die, buy physical copies of things. if you donāt want independent journalism to die, subscribe to a local newspaper. if you want more libraries and skate-parks and arcades, get a bunch of friends and call in the individual charge of your village or town or whatever and ask for one to be built and use the existing ones. if you want more native flora and fauna, start looking at the ones that already exist and how to preserve them. this is your world too. fight for it. get rid of the rot of passivity.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesnāt have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

I donāt know how to say this in a way that doesnāt sound like Iām advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you donāt āgetā an actor or a musician. Thereās nothing morally wrong with your girlās fuckass boyfriend heās literally just annoying and youāre annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know heāll be history in six months. Itās fine. You donāt need to justify your dislike.

The discomfort you may feel from sensory issues is real and valid. It doesnāt make you childish, weak or attention seeking. Even if it leads to meltdowns.
