Raymond Carver, “Hummingbird,” from All of Us: The Collected Poems

#i was writing something to my grandma #and i was going through my little notebook where i write down my favorite poems #and there it was! i forgot how this poem is made for her #like every spring and summer this colorful world is entirely made for you grandma #and hummingbirds. flying around the kitchen & backyard. #i miss you very much #words #raymond carver #a love letter to: grandma #my curations

Mob Psycho 100 is literally the best coming of age story out there.

Mob's slow but steady emotional growth, the way he started working out because he wanted to get buff on a whim (to get popular) only to find genuine joy and satisfaction in it, gosh, the whole overarching plotline of the ownership of his thoughts and feelings, discovering and accepting himself while considering everything and everyone around him. Accepting the truth that the openings are always talking about; your life is your own, everyone can be special because nobody is special, you're the only one of you. The way this show tackles the life-changing stages (puberty, going from a flippant person to a reliable adult, stepping into the world when you've hidden from it for so long, etc) just can't be beaten. The way Mob's emotions are visceral and confusing, but he keeps seeking out answers and hoping to grow.. he's awesome!

Along with Mob, everyone else grows too; Reigen learns humility and takes ownership of the fact he genuinely loves running his silly little psychic shop, even if he doesn't take much seriously in life at all. Ritsu coming to terms with his self-image and allowing himself to be a kid instead of a star student, instead of aiming to be The Best; and him learning to make friends of his own and accept himself and his brother and the people around him and see everyone for who they are - people. Just. Everyone accepting that fear is natural - of danger, of living, of being yourself - but also that fear shouldn't stop you from being true to yourself and doing what you want to do at that moment.

Every character, no matter how big or small, grows so much throughout the story, and I'm so proud of them. I'm glad I got to grow with them.

I just :( I love this whole story so much :(

Queen shit when Misako killed the head of the explorers club, I saw it happen

#misako montgomery garmadon #ninjago #rewatching ninjago #misako ninjago #you know I wasn’t a huge fan of misako because of how she was introduced #and then with the love interest bullshit #but ignoring her crack shot of a reunion with Lloyd and the love interest stuff #she’s pretty cool #cool lady #nice grandma energy #also I despise the explorers club #misako should attack them all with her teeth #send them out in hospital vans!! #I don’t feel that strongly but she should atLEAST send a strongly worded letter you know? #explorers club ninjago

many thoughts head full yet so devastatingly empty (< my brain is going about a billion miles per hour and i cannot slow it down enough to put any of the thoughts into any type of coherent statement) ((it is flicking wildly back and forth between q/smp and usmp. like if you took a metronome and set it to like a billion BPM.))

I have never frantically edited a post faster to put a slash between four letters

#hi i'm listening to winter's come and gone and i'm being Normal about it #''little black bird on my wire line. dark as troubles in this heart of mine.'' #and my brain is shoving Winter's Come and Gone.

Libraries are important

My Silent Gen grandparents like to write me long emails and letters about everything going on in their lives. Today my grandma sent me an email and told me about how she negotiated for a lower internet/phone bill and got free cell service for a year, and she traded in her old cell phone (I think it was a flip phone, my grandparents didn't get a cell phone until 2013 and that was because when I was visiting, the car broke down and I had a phone that we used to call AAA) for a new one (a Samsung 14G? idk, I don't think she knows either)

ANYWAY. Grandma signed up for classes at the library so she can learn to use the phone because she's afraid of doing something that makes it not-work. She goes to the library to check out books and has taken classes there before.

SO: this is a reminder that public libraries are critically important. They're social centres, they teach important community-based classes to people (esp older people), they provide resources...I could keep going.

Libraries are so much more than just Book Castles. Support your local library. Protect it from those who seek to destroy it and the treasures stored within.

#books & libraries #public libraries #support libraries #libraries are the best #book castles #FUND ALL THE LIBRARIES #stop banning books #book bans are foolish #PROTECT LIBRARIES #libraries are cool #librarians are great #i love libraries #silent gen is pre-Boomer btw #they were born during the Depression #i've learned a lot from my Depression-era-born grandparents #it's actually really nice to exchange cards/letters with them #my grandma is always telling me ways to scrimp and save. i low-key love it but my family makes fun of me for it #joke's on them #i should start a list of all the advice my grandma has given me #her aunt taught her to always keep $1000 in cash on hand and back then that was a LOT of money #you can 100% negotiate your cable/internet bill i've done that often you just have to make a phone call #so many useful tips i have to start writing them down. next post maybe.

To be clear, I voted for the Hey Stephen bridge, but it did take me a while to decide. I honestly think they're too different to compare (I'd say "apples and oranges" again but you got mad the last time I used that expression [weirdo <3]) but I wanted to make the case for tiwwchnt cause I think it's more fun in general and to sing along to and is also gonna be more memorable to most fans. And it wasn't even winning by much at all girls 😂💖

But yeah at the end of the day I'm just a rep girlie and you're not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

putting an end to this discourse with this:

fearless girlies ❤ rep girlies

#i love all of my rep girlies (mal & my sister) #💌restless wind inside a letter box💌 #and yeah i still hate that expression YOU CAN PICK BETWEEN APPLES AND ORANGES. we have a better term for that here #babe i žabe (grandmas and frogs) #now THAT makes sense

[aworldofyou]

The plan today? Fix graves, do some moccasin work, write. I’m up early so I’m gonna do that.

#[ show your local veteran you appreciate them thanks ] #[ that’s where I’m gonna start ] #[ well my grandma because my grandpa- the vet #would have wanted us to help her first because he loved his wife so so much ] #[ which is Romantic because they’re the classic love and war story ] #[ got married and had a baby just before he went in so he likely had their picture - their letters ] #[ when he was asked if he had a lady at home he would have said his wife and daughter ] #[ i love my faMILY and I love my grandpa uncle and friends for their service ] #[ out of character. ] just a shitpost

[dramarants]

omg fan letter please is the exact mix of emotional and comedic I need rn, it doesn’t take itself too seriously all while drawing from the classics - high school sweethearts, the one that got away, sad meow meow supporting their family, easy to hate reporter antagonist, notting hill style celebrity girl polite but average guy, adorable sick kid

#fanletter please #please send a fan letter #sometimes you need a predictable feel good drama where an snsd member makes fun of idols #and a dad who just loves his daughter so much #and obscure ref but as someone who's watcher her mom grandma and other family cry over titli (2002) on multiple occasions #I can't help but endear anything with the 'child is a huge fan of parent's past lover' trope as weird as fuck as it is lmao #there's so many places the plot can fall apart but like... idc at all 😂 all that matters is chemistry humor & yoona kicking leukemia's ass

Ngl, I got a little bit emotional when Barbie told the old woman that she was beautiful.

I know for a fact that my late grandma would have fucking LOVED this movie, and while I didn't play with Barbies as a kid, I got a lot of ideas on womanhood and feminism from my grandma.

I didn't need a doll to tell me I could become anyone I want, my gma did.

I used to watch and read a lot about nature, space, engineering, sciences as a kid and later retell everything I learned to my grandma, who was just as excited to hear about it all as I was to tell her about it all. And when her older friends told her her granddaughter would make a great mom or a model in the future, she would tell them no, she is going to be a scientist.

As I was growing up, she told me that becoming a wife and mother is not be-all, end-all in life for a woman and in fact, she wanted to become neither, but it was the 50s, so she had to, but the times were now different and she knew I could follow a different path.

And while she wasn't familiar with barbie dolls (spent half her life living in the commie bloc, the second half being too old to give a shit about western popculture), the "your gender or romantic partner doesn't define who you are, it's you who defines who you are" message is very much something she taught me and I am grateful for that.

#barbie #thoughts on barbie #is this post a poorly disguised love letter to my grandma? #maybe #old people #gender roles #also I didn't really become a scientist in a traditional sense #I am too mathematically challenged for that

lately every night my ocd is having me stay awake late thinking about things

#personal #and by things I mean my death fixation #about how time is passing too fast #with all the pain and fucked up traumatic shit from the last couple years #time is flying and I don’t have enough time #I don’t have enough time to love the love of my life #I don’t have enough time to be with them #I don’t have enough time to spend with my family #I don’t have enough time to hug them and make sure they are happy and healthy and taken care of #I don’t have enough time #and death is so scary #and everything is upsetting #and this fixation has spiked so severely since having to write my great grandma that letter for her to read the day before she died #I will get through this #the spoons are just a lil on the low side right now #something has gotta let up eventually right? #we’ve endured enough suffering these last 3 years right? #the financial problems will heal and go away #the legal debt will get paid somehow #job security will be found #the fraud shit will get squared away #my love will get set up on disability #they will move somewhere safe and feel peace for the first time in a long time #somehow this will all come true #somehow #and I pray it’s soon bc my brain and body can’t take these levels of stress anymore #I have been broken down and on empty for the last 2+ years and there’s nothing I can do other than try to take better care of myself #somehow friends #I’ll figure it out
