STUDIO GHIBLI  +  RAIN 

Posting in case this helps anyone. Be sure to wear masks and not easily identifiable clothing. Police are amping up tech surveillance as well. It’s important that we take steps when it comes to our safety while protesting.

I could watch this forever

Why are all dating app options like “long-term” “short-term” “date’s” “friends” where’s my option for “wants to get married and live out a cottagecore life in the countryside”

idaho gothic:

it’s raining. it’s sunny. it’s 50 degrees. no one wants to go outside. everyone goes outside. everyone comes inside and they are very cold.

pictures of giant wolves begin to appear on facebook. people scoff, but they hunt less and less. there are large paw prints in the foothills. there are howls in the suburbs. 

in the summer people lie around in the shade and make halfhearted jokes about how you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. you force a laugh as you quietly hide the blisters on your feet under your sunburnt fingers. so does everyone else. you can hear a faint sound of sizzling when you get too close to black pavement.

missionaries knock on your door. you answer. you see the badges. you give them a smile and tell them they don’t want you. they smile. they keep smiling. they both look the same. they smile as they buckle their helmets. that night they come back. they knock. they smile. the next night they come back. they knock. they smile. they smile.

one time you drove for forty five minutes to find something new to look at. the fog got thicker with every mile. when you finally parked on the side of a dirt road, you can hear a deep moaning from the other side of a small hill. you don’t walk over the hill. you go home. you say out loud, “strong winds this time of year.” you don’t believe it.

it’s called the gem state. maybe that’s why you keep finding mica in your hair when you wake up in the morning. maybe that’s why your bed feels like nothing but jagged points when you try to sleep.

the buildings here are old. the people are old. the sun feels old sometimes. the governor is old. he does not change. he will never change. the people will never change.

someone: hey what do you think of (paranormal topic)

me, wise in the ways of the unexplained: well its either real or its fake

1. Do not worry about gaining weight. Ever. But certainly not now just bc you’re in quarantine. 

2. You have permission not to be productive. We are living through a plague and a radical social upheaval. Who tf cares how much you ‘produced’ during this time? No one.

3. Give your day some structure that includes grounding and self care. Be as liberal with this as you can because these are very stressful times and not likely to go away soon.

4. Be kind. Be patient. Be loving. Breathe and give yourself space to feel.

5. Please stop comparing this to video games, zombie franchises or ‘the apocalypse’. First of all those thigns are not real and this is, this is real and happening to people. Second of all those things are made to pretend to be real. They refer to the real world, the real world does not refer to them. Thirdly the effects of this crisis are things that have happened and currently do happen to marginalized communities all over. The difference is now it’s happening to everyone. The ‘apocalypse’ has come to poor people, indigenous people, people in countries victim to imperialism- many times over.

6. Drink water. Sleep well.
