Amazing!

look I don’t know what award-winning journalist and author daniel molloy said to make louis look like a kicked puppy and armand to huff like a 1950s housewife whose appetisers were just insulted —

but he was absolutely right and they deserved it

real life prank episode is impossible to watch bc audio and video are so horrible but i did listen to some parts of cleo's video and it seems like there was a lot of hugging. awwwwwww.

10/11/23 || Friday

Event preparation and blocking up timeslots for different groups to do different things are the most hectic things of them all. Almost bawled my eyes out but my friend managed to fix a decent schedule.

It finally rained and the Air Quality Index is thankfully under control. I had forgotten how nice it was to be able to breathe lol.

Today I wore my favourite grey jacket (I have like- 5 grey jackets) and I feel so actually amazing haha. It's really funny how much just a little change in your day makes you so much brighter.

And with that, I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

absolutely sucks shit when people are like HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST PUTTING ANY CONDITIONS ON YOUR VOTE as if. the constant shift right doesn't have to do with the belief in major parties that they're owed votes by default on account of not being the other guy.

like they're going to ignore the public's wishes either way but fuck, you don't have to make it that easy for them. literally the second they get in. oh pwetty pwease Mr Biden can you wespect basic human wights? don't worry sir you'll still get my vote if not but I thought I'd ask nicely!!!!

hold their fucking feet to the fire dude. make it clear that your vote is conditional on them listening to the public on the clear and vital points.

(btw 'refusing to vote for Clinton is how Trump got in' no it literally is not. please remember that Trump lost the popular vote anyway and only got in because your country has a weird fucked up system where states are allowed to ignore how their constituents vote.)

(Refusing to vote New Labour after the Iraq War is how the Tories got in over here. Kinda. because what actually happened was we had the first hung parliament since 1979, and then the Lib Dems sold the country up the river for some minor concessions. and then Labour spent the next 10 years actively kneecapping itself by painting its own leadership as a bigger threat than the Tories, and when they had a leftist leading them they still brought the Tories to a hung parliament again in 2017.)

(anyway the point is you all seem to have a majorly inflated sense of how much democracy is involved in elections. Ultimately in cases where the race is close-run it is not the electorate that decide, it's like 100 people in positions of high power, be it the electoral college, the party leadership, or otherwise.)

(none of which is to say your vote is useless. your vote is valuable to politicians. there's a limit to how much they can get away with ignoring the public. but. because your vote is valuable, it's only useful as leverage if there's a possibility you might not give them it. and let's be clear, people WILL change direction if they're worried about losing votes. but unless you're offering them massive funding, then the only reason your opinion would carry any weight is if there's a possibility of your vote being withheld. if you stand up and say VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE WHATEVER HAPPENS then like. You might as well just say 'ignore me, pay attention to those guys who might not vote for you'.)

if the centre and the left's votes are vocally assured regardless of the party's policy or stance, then the party will move right. bc they've already got you, so it's time to court the undecideds. YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT NECESSARY TO A POLITICIAN'S SUCCESS TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU WANT. they don't care. you have to use what little leverage you have, your vote, to make them care. it's the only form of accountability we can bring about that doesn't involve, like, storming the winter palace 🤷‍♀️

ya know, I've learned way more about mike tazercraft and kyleeff than I ever needed to know in my life

He’s so cute, help.

How many calories is it reasonable to burn in a day (extra calories, like above your base metabolic rate)???

I’m PRETTY sure my watch is glitching cuz it used to show something normal like 200 normally up to like 900 on a busy day

Then I didn’t wear it for a few years and now it’s giving me daily readings of like 1000-3000 on a busy day.

There’s no way I burnt 3000 calories in a single day right? This thing is broken.

i try not to be annoying about typology on here because it will genuinely open the most insufferable version of myself to the world but i will be honest with you all and say anyone who thinks arthur morgan is an ISTP is fucking wrong and played the game with their fucking eyes closed

i actually think hatori is more of an electrical/hardware engineer than an informatics/information technology/software engineering person

One of the weirdest things about finding out you're traumatized/mentally ill/neurodivergent as an adult is looking back at all the very obvious signs in your childhood and realizing none of the adults responsible for you were paying attention

thinking about the friend of a friend who randomly took my hand and kneaded it and pet my hair and face while talking to others around the table we were sitting at, and also thinking about the random guy at the bar who came up to me and patted my shoulder and the side of my face as if I was an adorable little puppydog

these random moments of others initiating physical contact with me will haunt me forever in a yearning aching longing sort of way
