The best part of this, to me, is that according to another one of their songs (bi bi bi)… only the band’s front man is queer. The rest of them are straight, but they are fully in this with him.

ADHD is such nonsense sometimes. I was worried my PMDD had escalated and was continuing into my cycle and that I’d never know the warmth of sunshine on my skin or the fresh taste of strawberries.

And then I decluttered the bedroom and removed something I’d been meaning to tackle for weeks and ah, I see. I am not in actual fact on the brink of a nervous breakdown, I was just visually overstimulated and my ADHD was doing the nervous system equivalent of a chihuahua shaking itself to death out of sheer nervous existence. As though I don’t have actual Horrors to be overwhelmed by but no, the chair in the corner that had become a dumping ground for all my stuff was my mental limit.

Turns out I’m not evil and just needed to get rid of the mountain of cardboard that’s been living in my house since January. Who knew?

I’m sure someone without executive dysfunction, but fuck them for playing the game of life without concrete shoes on.

I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook

“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present” are you kidding me this quote has propelled me through at least three emotional crises

“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.” That quote literally got me through grieving my brother like WTNV goes HARD

A List of Some of My Favorite Quotes From This Insane Podcast:

  • "You are beautiful when you do beautiful things."
  • "The present tense of regret is indecision."
  • "We understand so much, but the sky behind those lights-- mostly void, partially stars-- that sky reminds us we don't understand even more."
  • "Be proud of your place in the Cosmos. It is small and yet it is."
  • "Believe in yourself. You are an ancient, absent god, discussed only rarely by literary scholars. So if you don't believe, no one will."
  • "Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you."
  • “Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
  • "Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?"
  • "When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. Any teenager who exists now is incidental to the potent mix of nostalgia and shame with which we speak to our younger selves."
  • "We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that?"
  • "Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error."
  • "We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people."
  • "A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk."
  • "There's nothing under your bed. There's nothing in your closet. Nothing waits in every darkness. Nothing is the most terrifying thing of all."
  • "The night sky is ten miles wide, eight miles deep, and floats three miles up. Its favourite food is grape jelly. It wants to be a drummer."
  • "Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about."
  • "Ignorance might not actually be bliss, but it is certainly less work."
  • "And now, a special report. Crocodiles: Can they eat your children? *YES.*"
  • "Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting. Don’t worry."
  • "As long as I’m reminding myself things, I’m a good person, worthy of love – both from myself and others."
  • "Guns don't kill people! It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!"
  • "Everything is exciting! Particularly existence. Existence is the most thrilling fact of all."
  • "There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world."
  • "You miss 100% of the bank robberies you don't commit."
  • "I like my coffee like I like my nights. Dark, endless, and impossible to sleep through. "
  • "A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."
  • "And now, the weather."

I discovered this podcast at the beginning of high school, and let me tell you, it rewired my synapses.

Not only was it my first experience with positive LGBT representation, it was the show I clung to when everything else went to shit. Whatever was going on in my life, I knew I had this show in my corner, making me laugh, making me cry, making me feel okay about my place in the universe.

I owe the creators of this podcast more than I could express.

"the lights over the Arby's" is such an intrinsically queer piece of writing that it hits me *hard* every time.

"We will never be the same again. But here's a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren't that person anymore, and everything changes once again." (from Episode 75)

"The universe is vast. You are also vast. So is an ant. There are different sizes of infinity."

i have been slowly working my way through the podcast. (i’m still on episode 68 or something.)

and mentions like this remind me why i love it so much, and make me wonder why, in the absemce of listening to it, i forget how much i love it.

How I didn’t shoot my wife!

In a recent video, I included my take on the William/Wilhelm Tell shot. At the time I mentioned that there were safety precautions behind it. Here is some of the process I went through.

Remember, when you see someone performing a stunt on purpose, there is almost always a lot going on behind the scenes, whether that’s physical failsafes, years of training and learning how to bail/fail safely, or (in many cases) both.

These things rarely eliminate the risk entirely, but by mitigating both the chance of something going wrong, and the severity if it does, it lets us do things that would otherwise be unthinkable. This was mine.

Normal silly videos will resume next week!
