Another successful Sleepover!
My little brother--who is 16--and I, have been doing what we like to call our Living Room Sleepover; where because it is summer, we hang out in the living room all night and watch whatever we want and talk and just be with each other.
It started last week around 3 am on Monday when he couldn't sleep and I was also awake because I have chronic insomnia. We put on House, MD, I gave him a couple of melatonin gummies, and we watched until he fell asleep. When I noticed that he had finally fallen asleep, I tried to get him up to go to bed, but he refused.
He insisted that he stay in the living room with me because a) the floor is comfy (we have a new rug) and b) "as [he's] told me before" he's used to sleeping on the floor. He didn't want to leave where I was and be somewhere else, so I let him stay. Then, because I couldn't sleep, I just sat up for a lot longer and watched Dynasty on Netflix.
We just had another Living Room Sleepover on the back of spending so. many. hours. together and with our family as a whole, because why not? Tonight/this morning was filled with the first 4 episodes of The Boys season 1, episodes 4 and 5 of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1, and we rounded it off with House, MD again.
This is my best friend's family, who unbidden, adopted me into their ranks, simply because they could and have enough love and chaos to go around. And their siblings are my siblings (seriously, they introduce me to their friends as their sister now for I think, going on two years). But, I digress.
Something about spending time with these people brings me joy. And there is something special about baby bro that I haven't had since my family kicked me out years ago. I will never forget how he told me around Christmas that I am his now, we are a matched set, and no matter what I got him.
Yeah. Well. Guess what, kid? You got me right back, too. We can have our Living Room Sleepover anytime. 🩵

"free palestine," he shouted until his last breath.
aaron bushnell, we will never forget you.
as much as bushnell's actions has moved us all, please seek other ways to take actionable measures against the injustices we face in the world. none of us wanted him gone, and the least we can do is prevent another such tragedy by supporting each other in our efforts to enact lasting change.

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

There’s something extremely heartbreaking about Nicos cameo/first words in the show being him looking for Bianca. He’s always going to be the little boy looking for his big sister. Season three is going to be the end of me.
