Applesforthis - You Can't Get There From Here

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

This post is about transitioning and dancing and sex, but it's also about everyone whether or not you do those things. Please keep doing the next risky scary thing, the thing that makes you more alive and more in your body and moves you closer to what you love.

You have to keep transitioning until you discover that you actually do love dancing and sex. Please.

[Video description: an overhead shot of a reddish-brown millipede walking. It is dawn or sunset and the daylight hits the millipede at a low angle and projects a relatively long shadow, for such a small creature. The millipede's legs are not visible from above but from the shadow we can see that the millipede isn't merely walking, but prancing and skipping. Its movement has an up-and-down, playful quality; it's not hurrying but it's moving with a distinct pizzazz and panache. Video is captioned Shadow of a millipede walking. /End video description.]
