#I still really like this neighbour
Text
well mark that down as situation 2938489 that I don't know how to handle
#i would love advice on this if y'all have any thoughts to share because i know what my parents think and im having trouble sorting it out#i love these three friends of mine but it is really draining to be around them now because all they will talk about is church drama#(re: our old church) and rehashing it all and being Outraged about the horrors etc etc#either that or being downright condescending about protestants/non denominations and acting like it's funny to talk like that all the time#i end up being more angry or resentful or exasperated at the end of our conversations than glad and at peace like i did before#(before all THIS ish happened and the three of them were like okay this is all we're going to talk about now)#i've tried to say in gentle ways (i am simply not capable of this kind of blunt confrontation) that maybe we should not be talking#so uncharitably towards other people especially behind their backs. like. yes bad things happened. we have to acknowledge that.#but continually making jokes and jibes at a priest's expense really rubs me the wrong way especially since i KNOW that he loves us#and in many ways was trying his best in the circumstances. and are we not supposed to be loving our neighbour#and is this not downright slander to keep going on this way esp since it goes on for HOURS at a time#anyway i don't know what to DO because if i keep chatting with them/meeting up with them conversation will be 90% this thing and i Hate It#but on the other hand i feel responsibility towards them because my godson's one of them and another is a friend who is a fairly recent#convert and if i leave them to stew in their own echo chamber i doubt it'll do them good#am i supposed to keep some distance? am i supposed to keep arguing whenever one of them says something unkind or inflammatory?#am i supposed to keep speaking up so that they hear a different perspective? am i supposed to run in the other direction for my own peace o#mind? anyway i am still thinking this over and it stresses me OUT#it used to be fun and life giving to be around these people and now it is so exhausting and seriously alarming in many ways

I may be on day two of being stuck in bed thanks to some of the ✨worst back pain I've ever had in my life✨, but the neighbours are outside grilling, the window is open a bit, and it smells so fucking good. I'm not even hungry rn, but I am v much enjoying the second hand good food smells.
#text post#if im still not online much today the pain is why lmao#Housemate has been an absolute angel looking after me and helped me figure out it's nothing more serious#i just really befuckened my back 🙃#feeling a great deal better today than it did yesterday tho so I'm crossing my fingers I'll be back to normal by tomorrow#or at least as close to normal as possible lol#for today i am continuing the schedule of ibuprofen water edibles heating pad and naps on the wedge pillow#with the extra benefit of the neighbours grilling what must be something w/a nice marinade on it bc#like im not a big meat eater or bbq person at all but this smells so sweet and interesting that even im like 👀#...i might be slightly hungry actually but that's a win bc i was physically sick yesterday from this stupid knot in my back#and managed some nibbles yesterday but know i need to try and ramp that up today if possible#so grill away neighbours and help convince my stomach to nibble something later today

sometimes i'm home alone for months at a time coz my parents leave (like rn) and ofc that's usually when the "ooh neighbour scary you never know what you live next to" stories find me which almost spook me but then i'm like. idk why i'd be scared of my neighbours being insane when i'm literally the insane neighbour
#sorry you heard me wake up screaming and begging for my life do you still think im hot#idfk what my neighbours think my street is extremely quiet and i never see anyone#hopefully my severe mental issues and nightly bloodcurdling screams have captivated them body and soul#barking#lonely times#well anyway. my mental health has been sub optimal in a way it hasn't been in years for the past few uh. months?#idk when I'd say it started but i basically dont remember anything that's happened since like. early September so#oh also i had an exam today and i studied for it harder than I've ever studied for any exam ever#and i walked in and looked the teacher in the eye and went. babygirl. im gonna retake this next week if that's ok. and then left#i think they saw that i was literally abt to jump out the window they were really nice

uh oh guys, it’s bad (has come up with a new paper girls fic idea)
#paper girls#i wish i could churn out fics like i used to but damn am i so busy#and is it so hard to write sometimes#i could make this fic like. just a really long one shot instead of multichap#but also that would still take time#and i also already have so many wips to work on 😣#anyways the girls go to kj’s family’s beach house one summer as teens#shenanigans ensue#mac avoids drinking for once and they’re all freaking out as to why#erin crushes hard on a neighbour boy who keeps seeing them at the beach#tiff has a panic attack about how next year is senior year or junior year or whatever#and she’s scared she won’t get into college#kj is determined to come out to the rest of the girls this go around#it could be like the beach in avatar#excellent episode#everyone deserves a beach episode that changes their life

It's so wild and refreshing to me to want to be HERE. In my country. In my general area. Where I am
#for years I've yearned for people from the screens in other countries and always wanted to be elsewhere and it gets hard#especially being left untethered after relationships break or friendships fade#I still have friendships but this is my place right now and whatever I need to find next I have to find it where I am#trying to bond with people locally feels like I'm in school again. super worried it won't work yet so happy when it does#there's an uncertainty to it and it's. different#but also last few times I was with people I didn't feel the need to be on my phone at all save from showing the person something#which is. foreign to me#idk. something is changing and shifting towards what I've been searching for. just a bit#the steps have been small. and are still small. it's like climbing up a spiral staircase#been going on forever. long way come and nowhere near the top#but it's like I just passed a window and noticed the view is really nice out#this was brought to you by: upstairs neighbour woke me up at 4 again#bien rambles

Something that is never explained in Stranger Things 4, and it bothers me: who on earth paid for all the stuff they bought at the War Zone? I know this is really in the category of "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts," but come ON, the bill must have run into hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Teenagers typically don't just have that kind of money on hand.
Besides practical purchases like buying Nancy a rifle and ammunition, they bought a bunch of things that served no purpose other than to make them feel spiffier, like Eddie wearing a bullet belt when he didn't have a firearm and Robin's jaunty beret. Steve and Nancy both come from well-off families, Steve more so, so do they have additional credit cards on their parents' accounts that they can use? (But Steve's dad cut him off financially in ST3 - has his stance softened since then just because Steve got a job in a video shop and has no other plans?) (And even if Steve has been allowed an additional card for, like, major emergencies, where is he keeping it? Did he jump in the lake with his wallet in his pocket or give it to Robin to hold? Did Robin manage to retain it when she jumped in the lake? If Nancy has a card, where is she keeping it? Do her clothes even have pockets? She's not carrying a bag!) WHO PAID AND HOW???
And does the War Zone include a hardware store? Because where did they get a garbage can lid and all the nails for Eddie's shield? Where did they get a hacksaw for Nancy to saw off her gun's barrel? Were all those things fortuitously in the Winnebago or what? Did they find a stash of cash in the Winnebago and steal those people's life savings as well as their home and everything in it?
WHO PAID AND HOW???????
#stranger things#it really is an asshole move stealing the Winnebago#they were sitting right outside it!#AITA: stole my neighbours' Winnebago and all their worldly goods (I know how it sounds but hear me out)#like you can say it's a JAH because - you know - trying to save the world#BUT STILL#THOSE PEOPLE LOST EVERYTHING THEY OWNED BUT TWO LAWN CHAIRS AND A TRANSISTOR RADIO

Easter Greetings by the President of Ukraine
youtube
Great People of Great Ukraine!
Today we celebrate a significant holiday — the Resurrection of the Lord. Easter. Easter symbolizes the liberation of the human soul from the slavery of evil and darkness. It symbolizes the victory of goodness and justice, the victory of life over death.
We have been fighting for all of this for 802 days in a row. 802 days of freedom standing up to darkness, valor standing up to terror. 802 days of our resistance, which can be described by the words from the Gospel of John: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it…"
The exact same words are dedicated to one of the exhibitions at St. Sophia Cathedral, where I am now. Together, this exhibition and the other works by various Ukrainian artists convey a deep meaning. These are the icons on ammunition boxes. They are saturated with the smoke of our land and the spirit of our people. They are the symbols of great trials and great power that helps us overcome them. Each of these icons is like a divine manifestation, a proof that the heavens are with us, an answer to the question of why Ukrainians have withstood. It is because in the most difficult circumstances and in the darkest times we are able to create light. We can do it on boards scorched by fire and grief, that came from Ukrainian cities and villages exhausted by suffering. We can do this by combining the seemingly incompatible: the war and the Lord, by overcoming evil with faith, overcoming adversity with hope.
When taking a closer look at these icons, one can understand the feelings of our entire nation. It's a mirror that reflects our reality in times of war, the path we have already taken, and this Easter, and our entire present. This is what our amulets look like today. This is how we feel that God is protecting us through the hands of our warriors. This is how we see the protection of the heavenly forces, embodied in the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine, every Ukrainian who devotes themself to the sacred cause of defending their native land from darkness and evil.
These icons bear the names of heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect us. They showed that Ukrainians kneel only to pray. And never do they kneel in front of invaders and occupiers.
The Bible teaches us to love our neighbor. And the present has shown us the true meaning of this word. When we support and help each other even hundreds of kilometers away from one another. We protect each other. We pray for each other. When we all have become closer to each other, we have become each other's neighbors. And our former neighbor, who was always making us take him for a brother, remains distant from us for centuries. They have broken all the commandments, coveted our house, and come to kill us. The world sees it.
God knows it. And we believe that there is a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on the shoulder of God. Therefore, with such an ally, life will definitely prevail over death.
As we overcome a common path and experience common pain, we are all united today by one common prayer. We pray for all our warriors who are celebrating Easter in the trenches and on the positions. We pray for our warriors of light, who restrain demons in all directions. We pray for those who keep another commandment in their lives: to defend Ukraine. We pray that they all come back alive.
We pray for all our civilians who work hard every day to strengthen our state and ensure that it successfully overcomes evil. We pray for those who live and work for this purpose.
We pray for all our children, for all the boys and girls brave far beyond their years, whose childhood was stolen from them by Russia, but who, despite everything, have not forgotten how to smile and believe in miracles.
We pray for all our mothers and fathers who were robbed of a happy, peaceful aging, and who, despite everything, are holding on and taking care of us.
We pray for all our cities and villages, that should feel the Lord's grace, not the constant terror of evil, and which have black clouds hanging over them, and bombs and missiles coming from those who belong in hell, not in the Ukrainian sky.
We pray for our lands and our people, whose spirit cannot be broken. And we remember the words written in St. Sophia Cathedral above the Oranta image, which came true in our lives: "God is in the midst of the city, and it will not be shaken. God will help it before dawn.”
Today, we are praying for all Ukrainians who are waiting for this dawn and will certainly see it. They will find peace, truth, and God, who will return to the scorched land, the land scarred with craters and trenches. He will return with peace, tranquility, and flowers instead of mines in the fields. He will return with children's laughter instead of the roar of an air alarm. The light that will return to all of our Lord-given land, to all the territories that are temporarily occupied by the devils. God will return to Mariupol. To the slag heaps and the seashores. It has always been so. It will definitely be so. I believe in this every day, especially on this glorious day in this glorious place, the history of which reminds us that neither the Horde invasion, nor the Nazi occupation, nor the Russian terror will be able to wipe us off the face of the Earth.
May the heavens strengthen our will in the battle against thralldom. May they give us courage for new achievements and wisdom to appreciate all that we have already gained. May they give us the strength to maintain unity, and give us unity to enhance our strength. May God grant eternal rest to all those who gave their lives for Ukraine and everlasting peace to their descendants, to all our children and grandchildren, and to all our future generations. They have the sacred right to know what a peaceful Easter in a peaceful Ukraine is.
Today we pray for it and we fight for it.
And the light shines in the darkness...
Happy Easter to all of you, dear Ukrainians!
Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!
#what a touching and moving greeting#perfect words again after over 800 days of full-scale war#always amazes me how he and his team are able to (still) do this#the shade at russia and all the “russia is your neighbour” people...#also loved the images he painted with his words#god wears a ukraine chevron...#for some reason this easter greeting felt a lot like the on in 2022#maybe because the situation feels so weirdly similiar#lets hope this also means the same successes for ukraine and they can liberate land#i love how he always talks about the “we”#including all of his people#these videos are never about him and praising himself#theyre always about ukraine and its people in the end#a servant of his people i have said it before and i will say it till the end#this man breathes and lives for his country and his country alone#he is committed to it and his goal and only that#ready to sacrify himself if necessary to give them peace and a future#his people and all the kids of ukraine and with this also his kids#he may be small but he is one of the greatest#i always have to think back to that one interview where he said he wants to be of use#he wants to feel needed#he really wants to change something for the better#and he does#and he is needed so so much#even though this is the worst period of his time and he has to give up and sacrify the dearest thing to him#he probably finds his purpose in it#may he find peace and calm afterwards#surrounded by friends and family to grow old#Youtube#volodymyr zelensky

Every year my village community centre puts on a "Winter Wonderland" that's basically just a Santa's Grotto plus a bunch of mascot characters from kid's tv shows. They were short on volunteers this year so I stepped in to be one of the dogs from Paw Patrol (I only said yes because it was the firefighter, Aunty Anna ain't promoting cops). I spent about three hours dancing and goofing off in this costume I couldn't see out of (there were moments I didn't realise a kid was near me until they ran into my shins), and I sweat so much my clothes were all soaked and a shade darker by the time we finished up, but it was a good night. I really hope it was a memorable time for the kids.
#my neighbour kept running out of the cupboard and kicking trees over as the Grinch it was great#another neighbour was Santa and I wouldn't have put him in that role but he was surprisingly great#I didn't even need to move as much as I did I was just keeping myself entertained lmao#my back is still recovering#you really can't see in those things it was like looking through a very blurry gun scope#I got at least two hugs tho so it was worth it#personal

why do my sims playthroughs always turn kinda fucked up :'D
#i made a girl who is really outdoorsy and wants to have a great ranch#i made a horse for her and moved them to the world that was included with the horse pack#she immediately got to training her horsie‚ gardening and stuff#but then her first bill came and it was astronomical because the lot is big#so she got a job as a gardener#but what she was making wasn't enough to sustain the ranch#some time later some rando called her telling that she might get a distant relative's inheritance if she marries within 7 days#ofc she wasn't planning to do that but then one of her neighbours asked to crush at her place for a few days#they had great chemistry so she decided to marry him platonically for the inheritance money and a helping hand at the ranch#he moved in and so did his horse lol#also aside from the inheritance money he also contributed 20k simoleons#however the same night they got married he froze to death while playing with the horses outside (i wasn't paying attention to him lmao :'D)#she didn't really love him but she still was heartbroken#she got on a drunken bender for a while and decided she's going to grow weed for sale now (i got the basemental mod at that point ajdnbfbb)#since she had like 50k simoleons on her now she hired a ranch hand who would help her with that while she focuses on training the horses#so i think next she's going to get closer with the ranch hand and maybe date her too if they have any chemistry#and they're gonna grow weed and look after horses together ahdbbxzbbz

Honestly feeling afraid and quite stressed about the latest news:
For those who haven't heard: Russian rockets hit Poland kiling two. Regardless of whether Art. 5 of NATO is gonna be invoked or not, it's still an escalation. It's still scary. I'm afraid. I'm gonna stress-clean and hope tomorrow may bring less-bad-than-worst-case-scenario news.
#non sims#rl stuff#war#ukraine#poland#russia#europe news#fuck putin#you don't realize how close the war really is until things like this happen#I mean the Netherlands is not near the front lines in any way#we're not bordering a country intent on invading its neighbours (this time)#but like#things like these you feel on the entire continent really#i don't think anyone wants ww3#but putin is fucking insane#so look us europeans are just super fucking on edge rn#and just bc it's worth repeating#war does not stop when a treaty is signed#even now (live) ww2 explosives are still being found across europe#heck my train got delayed by one last july#scary times we're living in#but most importantly#support ukraine#and like try to stay somewhat calm#freaking out won't help#but it's okay and normal to be scared and on edge as long as you don't freak the f out

Well so apparently my voice is noticeably deeper, so much so that the drink delivery guy commented on it just now. However since i obviously wear a mask when he delivers as a cautionary measure this made for a very awkward interaction because he logically thought I was sick. So i had to sort of explain to him that while yes my voice is deeper I'm just going through voice drop and wear a mask out of principle, without getting into the whole trans thing during this two minute interaction (as he is on a schedule and i do not have the nerve, especially not sleep deprived and on my day off).
#own post#trans#i suppose I'll have to tell him soonish#however once the excitement of finally not hiding anymore wore off I'm really not that eager on all the coming out i still have to do tbh 😭#it's my grandma too this saturday this is horrible#i also still have to tell my elderly neighbour who's dishes i have and who i like more than aforementioned grandma#but it just feels so awkward#I'm actually not that good at coming out i barely did it so far#i don't know many people and i already told my family and then my non queer friends which went quite easily so it wasn't a big deal#so I really just don't know how to explain 😭#like how the fuck do you gauge how much people know about trans people?#do i start with “so have you heard of trans people?” or do i just default to the baby terms explanation of “so i use a new name because#while i was born a girl turns out I'm actually a man and that's what I'm doing now“ ??????#actually i think I'll do the last one#well thank you to the void for listening bye bye for now#remember to drink water

I think I know why I'm here actually
specifically for the girl who has gone through an uncannily similar experience with HER mr. knight and for the girl and the boy who no one sees because they're so busy. If nothing else that's why I'm at this dorm. If nothing else I know what I can do here at this time... There ARE things I can do, oddly enough. I've been put in a strange position where I can reach them and talk to them and I want to do something for them.
#please keep them in your prayers! the first girl is having an excruciating time#with everything else in her life. and the boy and girl are just TERRIBLY terribly busy#anyhow. i had a moment of clarity just now#your role and worth doesnt really change as youre put in different communities and circles#it's still always going to be love the Lord your God and love your neighbour#it's just learning how to do that in specific ways. often uncomfortable ways but it's still importabt#important#anyhow i made a real hash of things and continue to do so#what with mr knight and the unfortunate firefly boy and all of this stuff at work and church and school#which! is fine i think. God is using those mistakes too#dont know where im going with this! just a :D ! moment today#like. my whole thing with mr knight wasnt for nothing. this pain isnt for nothing#it wasnt for nothing you know. the pain wasnt for nothing#it taught me and it drew me closer to God and now it's pointing me to something else#someone else who needs to be told what i was told by my diana and my elinor and my family. that they are beloved#slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21
