Me and who?

Fucking hero shit, that's what this is.

Same. As in:

We can save the local bookstore if we believe in ourselves...so let's all pull together and help these sensible used cars put on the best goddamn show this town has ever seen!

So proud, and so impressed by this

Doesn't need to be classical! Film soundtracks are great

So I need you to be happy for me. Until I can be happy for myself again, I need you to do it for me, just for a while.

I don't feel that way about other people! I'm capable of being happy for my friends about their nice days...anything from getting married to having a really nice bagel sandwich, if it happens to someone I love, it's worthy of me sharing that enjoyment.

But that doesn't carry over to myself.

Lately I feel apologetic for being happy about anything. Or sad about anything, too. Like my life and feelings are sort of an embarrassment in the face of widespread fear and suffering.

Gotta be honest, it feels really hard to get excited about my life and these milestones I keep having when global events are so, you know, *gestures broadly*

"we realize we are really stepping out on a limb" made me giggle

Shout out to my tablemates for New Year's Eve. You seemed lovely, I am sorry for rambling at you about my favorite queer paintings and Oscar Wilde.

This looks so lovely and cozy

I'm really glad I saw it in theaters, but watching it at home where I can pause and enjoy the details is going to be a treat for me. And I wish so much I could get to see the costume pieces in person! The people who worked on those should be very proud.

I agree, it made me really happy to watch. All of the drama with the color choices and the shapes of windows...made my brain feel like it was making happy whirring sounds like a robot? Like it was enjoying all the input while also trying to keep up with processing? Hard to explain. 😅

Civic engagement can be exhausting (especially in a red state) but it also puts the heart back into me.

And it makes me feel like all my experience cooking for a large family is actually a valuable political tool!

I adore your freckles for their own sake, but do they also make me love my own freckles? Yes. I sometimes forget how great freckles are and it's nice to be reminded.

Chaotic fairy: "I didn't gender transition anyone! I 'cursed' their spine and gave them endometriosis! What, we're not allowed to give humans physical maladies anymore??"
