Hey Abi, I’ve just read about the supreme court ruling and it’s all getting pretty scary and frustrating and angering and honestly just plain depressing. This kind of thing used to make me feel angry and motivate me to speak out, but it’s starting to just make me feel helpless and tired and sad. Do you have anything that you do in times like these to stay positive, or at the very least keep the anger going rather than giving in to exhaustion?
genuinely, going to a protest is a good way to get some energy and it can also just be nice to see other people from the community, even if they’re strangers, even if they’re strangers wearing puppy ears and unironed trans flags as capes because is that really any sillier than a judge’s wig and robes? No, in fact it’s better. So I’ll be at Parliament Square at 1300 on Saturday, cause it’ll be good for my mental health!
Also, everyone seems to forget this, but if you’re in college, CHECK YOU LIBRARY’S WEBSITE. they usually have access to a ton of journals. Sometimes a site that says you don’t have access will work if you access it through your school’s library website.
The way everyone I know is so comfortable and content to use chatgpt to do everything for them is actually fucking crazy. What do you mean you are using chatgpt to vent. What do you mean you can’t produce art without using chatgpt because you have no ideas. What do you mean you can’t write a basic fucking essay without using chatgpt. What do you MEAN you can’t do RESEARCH without it?!?!?!?!??!?! IT CAN’T DO RESEARCH. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ARE YOU ALL LOSING YOUR DAMN MINDS. You can’t have a fucking coherent original thought?!?!?!?! You’re not capable of thinking for yourself??? Oh my fucking GOD yeah let’s just destroy the planet because we’re too incompetent to fucking use our brains
it’s actually sick you get tired of eating the same food over and over when some animals they just eat grass all day mind you. just another pointless challenge mechanic added in by big universe to get you to go to the grocery store
If you’ve ever been disappointed by dragonfruit, especially if you felt like it tasted like nothing, then I’m like 90% sure you had unripe dragonfruit, which tastes like nothing. There’s a small window of time where it tastes amazing. You must have the patience of a hunter. Do not strike until your prey is at its most delicious
TIPS FOR DRAGONFRUIT/PITAYA
You want PINK flesh not white flesh. It’s sweeter. Pink pitaya never done me wrong.
You want DENSE pitaya. It’s like the watermelon rules, heft them and compare weight-to-size ratios.
You want ROUND. I don’t really know why but the longer ones ain’t usually as sweet.
You want SHORT petal tips not the longer ones, this usually tells you if it’s pink on the inside or not.
Once you have caught your sessile prey you will WAIT patiently for the petals dry out, until the TIPS of the petals have started to turn BROWN
googling shit like “why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends” and all of the answers are either “you need better friends” (i don’t; my friends are wonderful) or “your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels” (i don’t; i’ve got tons of energy, it’s just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it’s like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say “you were fun today and no one hated you”
do people know that a french ex-president (nicolas sarkozy, from 2007 to 2012) is currently wearing an electronic bracelet after he was sentenced for corruption and influence peddling? do people know? i want everyone to know 😌
and that bernard squarcini, the head of internal security (DGSI) during sarkozy’s presidency, just got convicted for influence peddling and has to wear an ankle bracelet for at least two years? 😌🙏
and that marine le pen, leader of the far-right party et one of the (ex)favorites for the 2027 presidential elections, has to wear an ankle bracelet for at least two years and is ineligible for five years?? 😌🙌✨️
My American ass watching other presidents face some form of consequence for wrongdoing…
