I was very frustrated because I have to play and sing Day Tripper at school tomorrow, And somehow I remembered that ELO has a cover and Michael d'Albuquerque sings and plays, so I went to see how the hell he does it and I discovered that he simplified the bass line, so now he have saved my life and he'll never know

i'm doing the 30 days of yoga program with adrienne mishler on youtube (which, if you've never heard of the "yoga with adrienne" channel before, HIGHLY suggest checking her out) and she said something today in the practice that made me go oh shit okay.

"align with the most current version of yourself. because the current version of you is arguably the best version."

and as someone who has been grieving my past sel(ves), dealing with huge life changes and wondering wtf i am in the wake of all that change, it hit me like a ton of bricks. there's things that i still hold onto that served a past version of me - but not the current one. that's why things have been feeling so ... hard? it's like i'm trying to put on a face/attitude/behavior that's not even mine anymore. and it's subtle changes, my core being isn't (totally) profoundly altered, but it's enough that it's causing discord in me.

idk if that helps anyone - but it helped me. align with the most current version of yourself - whoever you are and whatever you need right in this moment. not what you were 5 years or even 5 minutes ago. because we're naturally changing all the time, forever until we die, right?? so why fight against the tides.

I turn to Ares.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

You gotta excuse his 1920's ass, he's still learning slangs

"youve already written that trope" yesss. i like it a lots. i will be writing it again. 1000 stories of the same trope over and over again for ten million years

It’s healthy to step out of our comfort zone’s a little!😜

Like I literally have second hand embarrassment for Vox after seeing what Alastor ACTUALLY is like in a rivalry.

Like homie wishes he could be that close to Alastor 😂😂

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

'can i copy your homework?'

'yeah just don't make it obvious'

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

I made a Room Building tutorial! Lemme know if it helps! 🧡

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.

A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."

And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.

All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.
