I am having the kind of week where I collapse into bed before 8pm and begrudgingly get out of it at 6am and spend all the intervening hours dead on my feet and you know what? being exhausted is its own horror but it does keep all the other horrors at bay

one of my hang ups finishing my romance is that it involves alzheimer’s and life after caretaking and i worry it’s too sad but this is so important actually! romance’s whole thing is that it is a safe space and that means a safe space to grieve too
Sorry to everyone who thinks there should be fewer romances involving grief, but we all just lived through a mass death/disabling historical event with absolutely zero public rhetoric about it (or the fact that it’s ongoing) and grief romances is one big way we’re all Working That Out

Once again the internet provides us with an immortal phrase that nobody will ever guess the context of.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

me every time grandma wakes up, trying to avoid a mess and thinking she probably doesn’t remember where she is: gramma please let me know if you have to poop
grandma, clearly tired of me asking: well i wouldn’t want you to miss it

I have been back in the hospital for two days, but this time as a visitor sitting at grandma‘s bedside and let me tell you, the visitor experience is exactly the opposite of this. If you ever have to go to the hospital, I highly recommend being the sick person
I’ve got to stop having such good experiences in the hospital, the feeling of being taken care of and stripped of all adult responsibility could get dangerously addictive

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

it should be illegal to wake up a few times and then think “well it’s probably at least 4 by now and that’s an ok time to get up” and then find out it’s not even 11 yet

on days I really don’t wanna leave the house for work I’ll bribe myself with a lil treat on the way home but if that’s most days it’s like I’m only going to work to support my treat habit so maybe I should just stay in bed and rot

a million dollars would set up a normal human being for life. it sounds like a lot of money when you’re living paycheck to paycheck but musk, who is 1 person, has enough money to give everyone in the US one BILLION and still have billions to spare. these people are a plague of biblical proportions
