so delightfully subversive, some wickedly funny scenes, but the shocking aspects served a very deliberate purpose and it was so masterfully shot. I mean it’s Ken Russell so ofc there’s going to be Visuals but the performances are incredible too. I’m obsessed. I’m inspired. omg

traded in my og Away suitcase for a discounted new one. They were super nice in the Williamsburg store, I was yapping ages 😂 but the new pastel purple color is sold out literally everywhere, she called the last in stock store and they’re shipping. It was the last one in the US! Now lunch at Joes

bruh
for several months I have gone to bed with my kitchen clean. The secret? I don't care what my front hallway looks like. It gets to look however it wants. It's none of my business. My clothes always get put up on washday because I stopped caring if they were folded or not. And my bedroom feels serene and tidy because I have given the bathroom permanent permission to look like a feral raccoon lives in it. The secret that is allowing me to have a functional home is that I've been half assing it all. And it's better than it has ever been.
This goes against the grain of what most of us are
taught growing up.
Perhaps you grew up hearing the saying "do everything with excellence" (or for those raised religious "do everything to the glory of God!"°). And maybe those phrases have fucked you up a little bit. Doing things with excellence doesn't mean doing evervthing perfectly.Footnote 6
6 I promise God does not care how you do your laundry.

when I say this lady is coming for my whole life and blowing my mind open on every page btw
chapter 15
you can't save the rain forest
if you're depressed
You are not responsible for saving the world if you are struggling to save yourself. If you must use paper plates for meals or throw away recycling in order to gain better functioning, you should do so. When you are functioning again, you will gain the capacity to do real good for the world. In the meantime, your job is to survive.
Realistically, when you are struggling to function you are not choosing between recycling and not recycling; you are choosing between letting the cardboard pile up and staying paralyzed and throwing the cardboard out and being able to get unstuck enough to move forward.
Either way the recycling isn't getting done that day.
However, if you sacrifice a few weeks of cardboard (or Tupperware, or paper, or plastics), you may well have a chance at gaining a functioning human being capable of engaging in and making a difference in important causes like environmentalism.

did you ever casually stumble across a book that speaks to you on such a fundamental level that you had to instantly buy it bc “how to keep house while drowning” by kc davis made my soul explode actually
remember that because care tasks are morally neutral, mess has no inherent meaning. When you look at the pile of dishes in the sink and think, "I'm such a failure," that message did not originate from the dishes. Dishes don't think. Dishes don't judge. Dishes cannot make meaning-only people can.
In fact, the meaning assigned to a care task was probably given to you by someone else. Take a moment to think about who it may have been. Your mother? Father?
Partner? A grandparent? What messages were you given about domestic care tasks and the meaning behind them? Where did those ideas trickle down from?
I recently saw someone write on social media, "My grandmother used to say to me, we may be poor but we will be clean. And she would scrub that tiny house until it shone." I'm learning that when marginalized communities face racism or classism, high standards for cleanliness can be a way for a family to reassert their own dignity in the face of dehumanizing stereotypes aboutbeing lazy, unintelligent, or dirty. Loving families might insist that their home sparkle or their children's clothes be spotless, not out of a perceived superiority, but as a way of protecting against discrimination.
There may be other complex and contextual reasons why your family or community gave you the messages they did about care tasks. You may need time to con-sider, to honor, to grieve, and to process the origins of such messages. In the end, you may decide those messages do not serve you anymore and give mess a new meaning.
Begin to notice how you speak to yourself on days when you feel you have fallen behind. You can set up the best systems in the world and they won't change your life if you still hate yourself on days when you can't keep up. So much of our distress comes not from the unfolded laundry but from the messages we give ourselves. Lazy.
Predictable. Unlovable. You do not need to be good at care tasks to learn how to develop a compassionate inner dialogue. You deserve kindness and love regardless of how good you are at care tasks.

I don’t think I posted it but this is when Loki made himself king of the ship (pt 1). it was so fucking funny. ANY time these storyteller OCs had an event it was A+. tbh all the characters on board were Great per usual but Esp. the friend of Loki and the friend of Dr Facilier? 13/10 no notes

the Destiny is so fun!! i literally booked another cruise on there when i barely got off that one lmao I’m going back with Yukie next time. I can’t believe they made that ship specifically for me as a Marvel and Disney Villains stan like the Heroes and Villains theme was so tailored to my favs

the pre-cruise park days btw. I tend to pull 20k on avg in them but the last 2 days lowered it bc 8/30 I mostly hung out w oomf at the Poly and only went into MK for a little bit that night, and 8/31 was embarkation day in FLL. but being home I don’t walk like I used to and I paid for it heavily 😭

It deadass took nearly a week just for my legs to recover (I honestly could barely walk to the bathroom the last few days) but looking at this it’s obvious why. Labor Day I think was the most steps I’ve ever done in a single park day 😭 but I mean I walked to Epcot, hopped to HS, then did Epcot EEH 😭

another A321neo bird for the flight home! boarded and just had my PDB (a Coke with nothing in it). Shockingly on time for a summer evening FL departure to NYC. 🤞🏾 Settling in with Devil Wears Prada 2 if for no other reason than watching Miranda in coach while I’m in F will be hysterical.

Griddled cheese from Greece. Made specially allergy free for me!! I asked at the booth bc this item is on the cheese crawl and they did a whole allergy procedure involving getting the chef on the phone to instruct the culinary team. I waited maybe a minute or two longer but I got my nut free dish!!!
